The Election in the Ciiy-Thc
Official Result
From the Louisville De


The election passed off quietly yester-
day Indeed the day was so Indictment
that there was no crowd about the polls In
many portions of the city, to even Indicate
the places where the polls were held The
vote cast was for city of one hundred
thousand population, very small indeed
The whole vote being on y G,120. Of this
vot. Mcclellan got 1873 and Lincoln
l.s49--a majority for Mcclellan of 1924.
There we're very many who would not
vote. believing that the result in Kentucky
was beyond douht--that Mcclellan was
certain to carry the State. and that there
fore their votes were not needed. others
again, were deferred from the polls by
the threats in various ways applied by the
minions Of the Administration here ana
elsewhere. BY this species of in,;mlda,
ton, many remained at home who should
have placed their votes for Mcclellan
their acknowledge choice.
This vii. account for the mcagre vote
of the city. Indeed, feeling that there
was no need of organization to carry the
city or the State, none was made by the
Democratic party. On the other hand,
the supporters of Mr.. Lincoln here, organ
led drummed, worked, burnt powder
skyrockets, shooting crackers, and waste d
an intermin ible amount Of gas in the shape
of elegant speaking in behalf of their
cause and their candidate.
The Republicans, by all the appliances
Of men and money, and the vigilance OF
various committees, got $40 votes for
Mr. Lincoln.
The same amount Of effort OH the part
of the Democracy, and getting out the vote
of the party in same proportion, would
have given Mcclellan ajorty Of at least
7 500 il the city.
The Plymouth weekly Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1860-1869, 1864-11-17

More than a million votes were cast for
Mcclellan on Thursday. and all that he
wanted to become President was suffi-
cheney Of friends to cast votes to
give him enough States to carry the Elec-
torial College. commercial
Our contemporary only gives Mcclellan
about half his vote, which was near t,Oc
n,iH'oss lie polled votes enough to have
given him large majority Of the cleo,
toral votes, if there had been no frauds
and no violence rcsorted to.-Cin. En-

Result Of the Election.

We give elsewhere the views of sever'l
or our cotem poraries relative to the result
Of the election. We have but little to say
in addition as to the general aspect of at
fuirs, preferring to wait and see what We
shall see. So far as the vote in this coun-
" is concerned, we are sure that if our
FOR detection True the democratic vote
was less than at the State election, but
whe does not know that under different
circumstances there would have been an
increased democratic majority. The fall
ing of was not owing to changes to the
administration party, but democrats felt
that any effort that they might make wo'd
be unavailing, aud hence stayed away
from the polls. Democrats generally en-
tertained the idea that the administration
lists would not in any event permit either
the State or National Government to pass
into democratic hands, no matter how large
the democratic vote In this they may
have been mistaken But whether or not,
it influenced thousands no doubt to remain
at home and lie, those in power have 1t all
their own way
Another consideration We think had
much to do tn the small vote of the de-
mocraey at t. Presidential election 1t
is matter otoriety that Mcclellan
was not the choice Of very respectable
minority of his party, and many Of those
who are opposed to the further continu-
auce of the war, believing that it will at
last prove failure to restore the Union
under the Constitution declined to vote.
They were dissatisfied with the nomina-
ton, and could see no practical good to
the country by prosecuting the war under
NcClellan's direction that could not lie
attained BY those already in power. They
believed it would be sui cidal for the
democratic party to take charge of the
war in its present stage, with the proba-
bility that it would end disastrously under
any system of management. They may
have erred in judgment, they may have
had mistaken notions of policy, and may
have been wrong in refusing to vote, and
in their estimate of the probable result
of the war, but that they have acted from
good motives, and were honest in their
views, We have no doubt.

@uF. ~ ". OSOOTUe ASq.
here submit statement Of our trans
action in Green T. p Marshall Co. Ind.
We were in the discharge of our duty
hunting deserters, We did search houses
where We believed they were secreted, in
a few instances We did demand access to
their correspondence where We thought it
necessary, we told them We did not want
to see their private letters, we simply
looked if they were written since the draft
or not, we read no letter save part of
one of Mr.. Brooke's. The statement In
your paper of Nov Sd, 1864, that we were
half-dozen political union league rowdies,
and that We insulted outraged ladies,
and heaped all manner of indignities up
ON old and defenceless men is false in to
to. We pressed some of the citizens to
assist us, consequently they are not re-
sponsible for the outrage as stated in your
paper. Your advice to the citizens to
make an example of two, Of the art by
buttonhole working upon their worthless
carcases is far more dangerous business
than we were engaged in. Yours in re-
speet, q. W. CRAvER.
ii. ALLEMAN.
The foregoing letter was handed US a
day or two ago and We give it place in the
Democrat 1t was written in answer to
an article contained in this paper, Nov Sd
under the heading Outrageous conduct. y
Having thus given Messrs. Craver and
Alleman, the benefit of presenting their
own statement to our .readers, We are not
disposed to enter into any controversy
with them, or others, in relation to the
matter. We deem it due to Ourself how
ever to say that we did not know for more
than week after our article was written
that they had any authority whatever to
arrest descrters, nor do We now suppo
that the fact, that they were detailed for
that purpose, gave them any right what
ever to search the correspondence or pa
pers OF c;tizeus The statement was made
to us, on what We deemed good authority,
that they in company with others had ae-
ted precisely as We stated they did, and
further, that they on one occasion invaded
the sanctity Of a lady's bedroom in the
night in the absence OF her husband and
demanded to see her own and her hus-
bands private letters, that they opened a
trunk in her room-took out her letters
written by a lady to her, relative to pri-
vate confidential matters concerning no
one but themselves, such letters as only a
lady would write in the utmost confidence
to her most intimate female friend, read
them in her presence and laughed over
them as only base men could. With such
representations made to us, We felt that
their conduct merited a seathing rebuke
and We tried to do the subject justice.

In the course Of his speech, last eve
niny, Secretary Seward said: "Well, fell
low-c.tizens, We have all got TO be friends.
[Cheers.l We have got to be friends with
democrats who have been voting against
US, and we will balance accounts by say
ing that we voted against them; and IT,
now that the election Is over, they con-
clude to be quits, We viii agree to be all
union men hereafter, and We will acknowl-
edge that our party, as We saw things,
Judged them pretty harshIy. Laughter
and applause presume that, four years
hence, We will be in perfect harmony, not
only throug hout all the free states, but IN
the whole union.
This was Mr. Stewards little speech at
Washington on the 10th instant. lie
thinks, when he was ringing his little bell
to order the imprisonment of democrats IN
the filthy dungeons of Forts Warren aud
Lafayette, he Judged them pretty harsh
~" The magnanims Us secretary, the
charitable, christian secretary, is now viii
ling to forgive those he judged pretty
harshly." Will not the victims Of his
pretty harsh judgment accept his for
giveness? The state of perfect harmon
he predicts four years hence we presume
to be the enc which four years ago he pre-
dicted would settle On the contry-some-
what as the millennium will, when it
comes,-in sixty, or, at the farthest. nine
ty days. SucL slight mistake in them
should rot impair his reputation as a
prophet lie is valuable man, is that
secretary, for without him We should not
be able to penetrate the future. With
him, We know exactly what is going to
happen,-and how to meet it Gh'cago

The St Louis L ION reproduces au orig
inal letter from Thomas Jefferson to John
Breckenridge. II is dated Monticello
August 18th 1903, while he was President
of the United States. 1t was written
while the question Of the purchase Of the
Louisiana Territory from France was b.
fore the Senate and the people In re-
viewing some Of the objections which had
been made to the measure, Mr.. Jefferson
said:
These Feder:lists see, in this acquisi
ton, the formation OF new COnfederacy
embracing all the waters of the Mississippi
on both sides of it, and separation Of its
eastern waters from us. These combina-
tions depend on many circumstances
which We cannot forsee, that place little
reliance on them. We have seldom seen
neighborhoods produce affection among
nations. The reverse is almost the uni
versal truth Besides, If it should be-
come the great interest Of those nations to
separate from this, if their happiness
should depend ON it SO strongly as to in
induce them to go through that csnvul-
sion, why should the Atlantic States dread
it, But especially, why should we, their
present inhabitants, take sides in such a
question: When / view the Atlantic
States, procuring for those on the eastern
waters of the Mississippi friendly instead
of hostile neighbors on its waters, l do not
WOW it as an Englishman would the pro-
curing future blessings for the French
nation. with whom he has no relations
of blood or affection The future ihhabi-
