candidates on the CoPpsrhsad ticket, ~ s'''"p
them g preponderanee over t,--Sn''o @sn 0e
the popular vote ot-suut thirteen hundred
votea. This .~-suot be taken - 30 index Of the
resri. on the 9Th day Of November. Many
causes conspirsd to produce 1t, which will 10 no
wise influence the election then.
In Wilmington our majority is but 306, whore
we can and will give 800. This arises from The |
fact, that but little interest was manifested by
tine Union men in many Of the Wards, and largs
numbers absented themselves from she polls,
feeling sure that the candidates on the ticket
would be elected without their aid. 10 several
of the Wards many lost their votes because the
inspectors advertised that the polls wOul close
at seven o'clock instead of sE. Many working
men, concluded that they would have ample
time to exercise the elective franchise after they
4 had finished their days labor. Another thing
which contributed in no small degree to prevent
full Union vote, was the fact, that through
neglect somewhere the candidates for Inspectors
in the several Wards were not nominated until
the night before the election, aud alter eveIy
Union paper in the city bad heeu printed l1r
circulation; the consequence of which was
| that voters could mol be informed through tue
papers, as to who the candidates TO be voted for
were, and, in some instances where the election
polls were located.
By an examination Of the figures, II will be
seen that the vote OF the Union party is even less
than at the municipal election, while the COY
perhead vote is increased, showing that The latter
made an extra effort, anI brought out their ful
strength, while general apathy existed ou th'
part Of the Unonisls. The same condition u
things existed in all the Hundreds. The yot'
! proves that the Coppeiheads pOed large
0 proportion Of their enliie vote, than the UnGi
'. men. Hence the result 10 Nostmber' New
Castle County will give at least 800 majority TO
LINCOLN, JongsoN, sMITHERs, and the Who'll
" Union ticket.
} In Kent matters we're even worse than in NeV
It Castle County, the Union men taking but lit,l
J. interest in the slectiOn while the COpperhead
lr polled nearly their full strength. The uaiO
men knew that III, Copperheads were in th
majority in most OF the Hundreds aud that n
effort or their pant could prevent the electiO
'e of the Coppernvgd s:"ket in such election di'
o tricts, and consequently they did rot 80 to I'll

I'd be different, every vote will count in The gran
III result and then the gallant, true hearted unio
ly men of Kent mean to rally in their strength fl
the cause of The Union and freedom. Our PEI
h., ple may rely upon il, that the OoPperhead ms
jority will not he over 900.
