Numerous other smaller meetings and
neighhorhoods, almost all over the State
show the same results, 50 that we have
come to the conclusienthat the balance
Of power rests with this section of the
Christian Church in Indiana, for there
has not been one Quaker vote given TO
the Democratic nominees in this State
that we know of, andif there is mem
Der of the Society that il likely to vote
for George Il. MeCl ellan, we should like
to know 1t, that W may pay him q friendly
visit.
Now. we bring these things to the view
of our fellow citizens not boastingly, but
hoping that il may operate in some de
gree as palliative, for the comparative
" small numbers Of our members that
join the ranks, for we canppt, consistent
~ with our views of Christian truth, en-
gage in carnal strife, which we believe to
be contrary not only 10 the spirit Of the
Gospel, but 10 the plain prccepts Of
Jesus; Yet we wish to do everything in
our power consistent with these vie vs. for
the support of the government. True it
~. that many of cur young men. from
feelings of patriotism and desire to
sustain the Government, have gone into
the army, while those OF oar older mem
bers, whose principles and habits have
been more firmly fixed haye been amply
provided for by the good President, and

In looking over the late election
returns, 1t wiz readily be observed that
in those counties where the Society of
Friends are most numerous the Union
majoritics are largest This is not be
cause of n large number of votes be
longing TO this denomination, but rather
on account of the influence they exert on
the community around them into the
