RECENT ELECTIONS of the black New
England states have just voted Vermont has
elected an Abolition Governor, as usual but by
a decreased majority. The Democrats have
also gained a number o. representatives.
Maine has just reelected her present Abolition
Governor, the majority, being, however, some
5000 less than last year. OF course, nothing
can be expected from that quarter.-Caliior-
MIA has also just voted for members Of the Leg
islature For the first time in five years, the
Democrats have succeeded in electing a part
of their ticket in San Francisco, securing
much as though the next Legislature of Cal
ltornia will be controlled by the Democracy.

OUR FORTHCOMING ENLARGEMENT, &c.-Lest
our friends lee restive concerning our pro-
posed enlargement and new dress, we would
lust aay :hat tue Power Press now building for
Il, in Nrw York, will not be ready for ship
ment before thc 9th of October, and, therefore,
we cannot enlarge before that time. The rea-
son Of this Is, that there is a great rush for
presses, Just II this time, the Southern printers
being about to renew their establishments and
many country offices throwing out their hand
presses ana replacing them with power ma
chimes. We hope, however, before the end Of
October. 10 2i,e our subscribers a paper SO
greatly improved in typographical appearance,
as we'll G, IN quantity and variety Of reading
matter, that it will merit the largely increased
patronage which we must have to sustain the
kind Of journal we intend giving the public.
In this connection, We would again urge eUeTy
Democrat lOh0 Is moi now subscriber te the
Gazette, TO become one al once. Send in your
Two DOLLARS, and We promise that you will
not regret having done so, at the end of the
year. Every family should have a newspaper,

the household, as your own home paper.

FRIEND MEYERS Il take the present oppor-
tunity TO drop you few lines to let you know
that want the GAZETTE one year longer, be-
cause it is tue most satisfactory paper / ever
had, Last summer, in the army, got Nc
Clure's paper from Chambersburg. / ike to
read Republican paper, but every week
that sheet was filed with Abolition stuff and
talk in favor Of the ''nigger," and l became
completely disgusted with it. My own opinion
is, if a white man thinks more of ''nigger'
than of his own race, let him go with the
blacks. For my own part, like darkey-
if he keeps his distance. | have some very
good neighhors who are "Repubicans," but
some of them talk in favor Of giving negroes
the right to vote which is rather ''strong cof
fee" for Such men ought to eat, drink and
sleep with negroes, and have little bunch of
wool tied TO the end Of their nose. Our ''Re-
publican" friends have some sweet words for
the soldiers, but they can't honey mp US ''boys
in blue TO vote for Negro Suffrage We
know too much about the american citizen
Of African descent" to act so foolish part.
We believe that God did not intend the black
30 be the equal Of tile white, or else he would
have created him such. But, the sweet words
of the AbUhtioniots, are well understood by us.
They don't care half as much about us as they
pretend, or they wouldn't cali US ''skuIkers,"
''skedadders," ''bounty-jumpers, and other
hard names. Besides, if they really felt for
the soldiers, they would rather try to get vote
for the young men under twenty-one years Of
age, who were in the army, than make such
great fuss about the rights Of ''niggers." There
are thousands of brave young men from sixteen
to twenty years of age, who were wounded in
the service. that ought to have the right to vote,
rather than the black pets of the Abolitionists.
Why don't these great friends Of ours advocate
the young soldiers rights? [ was in fourteen
battles and never saw but two dead niggers,
except at the Crater, on the 30th Of July, 1864,
where they fell into trap and quite number
of them were killed. | believe in White Men
