VIEWS or THE CITIZENS THE ISSUES PRESENTED BY THE
ELECTION
Election day passed off very quietly No soldiers
permitted about the polls General Benefits orders TO
the officers Of the day that no guard should be
stationed at any Of the ward precincts unless special
request was made by the managers. No request was
made necessary.
The citizens generally very much pleased with the
result and deny that any of unonist secession
let was raised in the selection and election Of candidates
They claim that they all Union and nothing else and
that all will cordially support the views and policy Of
the administration As an evidence of this intention
they instance the election Of j. Coogan open and
avowed Unionst during the war, who received respect
able and successful vote.
On the other hand the friends Of Dr. A. G. Mackey
and the "Union ticket' view the result as complete
triumph Of the old hunkers and secessonists. The
election Of Mr. Coogan, they say, effected by that
candidate merging himself with the secessonists. The
Union and former friends Of Mr. Coogan have no
confidence in any good resulting from his election.
They also say the most monsrous fasehoods calumnes
and SANDERS were heaped upon Dr. Mackeys personal
character to effect his defeat He was openly and uni
formy denounced in street conversations traitor
bis native State In her time Of trouble and distress Many
Of the Masonic brotherhood opposed Dr. Mackey on ac.
count Of his visit North which they characterized
begging tour notwithstanding that visit made at the
urgent solicitations Of his Northern brethren In fact
the Union claim that all sorts Of lies and tricks
resorted TO for the purpose Of keeping their candidate
the friend Of Unionsm popular rights and progressive
from the convention fearful Of his
intellectual abilities aud influence in uprootng oligarchy
and sristocracy.
Such are the statements you will hear from the two
sides at the hotels in the stores, the Streets at
private residences
RBPoRT OF COLLECTION hAcKEy's REHovAL
report was in circulation that Collector Mackey was
70 be displaced from the Custom House and the former
incumbent Collector Colcook reinstated II was said
that this report arose from letter received here written
BY member OF Congress- stating that Collector Mscksys
noination would not be confirmed by the Senate Ths
report raised inussdasey before the election also
cited The indignation Of the Doctors srsnds who re.
sarded another trick 10 nhame popular prejudice
against him. They believe in this his enemies will
be defeated The greatest objection 10 Dr. Mackey
by the old foges arises, his friends say,
from the President having honored him with ONCE to
which only the chivaly entitled, forgetting that
President johnson like the present Collector Of Charles
they st point tohe language 80 freely used BY the old
party IN reference to President johnson as 10 tailor and
President Lincoln as "a rail splitter
