Vote OF Seine Counties Of Missouri at the
late Presidential Election,

A friend hands Us the following from the
Missouri Democrat giving the votes OF
MANY OF the counties of Missouri, in
the late Presidential election and COM
pairing the result with the vote of the same
counties in 1860.
The vote of the late election III several OF
the counties is interesting as compared with
that of 1860. In eight of the one hund red
counties reported, Mcclellan did not receive
a vote In five counties he received one
vote each. In four counties, two votes each.
In one county, three votes. In one county,
four votes In one county, five votes. In
two counties six votes each. Inone county
seven votes Forty-two votes tor McClel,
Ian in twenty three counties! twenty OF
these counties i'll 1860, gave Douglass ma
jorjty Of nearly Seyen thousand over Lincoln
saying nothing of the vote cast for Bell and
Breckenridge Barry county gave Lincoln
one vote in 1861 and in 1864 1t gives
Mcclellan seventeen votes. Caldwell county
which, four years ago gave Lincoln forty
three votes out of eight hundred and sixty,
now gives Mcclellan eighty eight votes. -
Camden gave Lincoln six votes IN 1860;
now it gives Mcclellan one vote. Carroll
county, which now gives vote OF more
than two to one for Lincoln, gave him bare
" three votes at the last Presidential cleo
ton. Cedar county in vote OF nearly nine
hundred in 1860, then gave Lincoln three.
Last month it gave Mcclellan none. Charl-
ton in 1864 gives Mcclellan two votes In
1860 it gave Lincoln one. Christian now
gives for Mcclellan five votes. In 1860
Lincoln got not a solitary vote. In Cooper
Lincoln now has nearly six hundred MAORI
Ity He got twenty votes there at the last
Presidential election in total of upwards
Of two thousand. Lincoln received eight
votes in Dade county in 1860. Mcclellan
now gets half that number. Dallas gives
Lincoln two hundred and thirty-one major
itv in 1864, which is two hundred and eleven
more than the number Of votes he received
four years ago. In the county OF Toward,
which cast upwards Of .wo Thousand votes
in 1860, Of which Lincoln r-aelVed one, Nc
| CleIau now receives the delicate vote OF SIX
and Lincoln has majority Of five hundred
and twenty eight. Laclede, where Lincoln
received six votes all told in his former race
now rolls UP the handsome majority tor him
of six hundred Saline, which, though cast
ing nearly two thousand votes III 1861,
could not spare single one then for Hon
est Old Abe" now gives total vote OF one
hundred and ninety eight, OF which the
Democratic candidate received but twenty
eight. Stoddard gave Lincoln none IN 49,
| 60; in 1864 it gives Mcclellan six. Stone
gave Lincoln none in 1860; now 1t is equal
" parsimonious towards. Mcclellan. We
might go on with the comparison, but the
reader no doubt finds it tedious"
| We see nothing wonderful in the above
result, after what Missouri has suffered IN
the last fo,.- years, in consequence Of hel
political status in 1860. She has i'll that
time undergone enough, we should think tc
teach her the necessity at a decided change
After voting as she did in 1860, it is neither
remarkable that she should be made TO pay
heavy penalty for her folly, nor that at
ter having paid the penalty, she should be
in no humor to repeat it. 1t is no matter
of Jest but solemn truth that the war ha'
operated like Judgment upon communities
which have given large Democrotic votes
Those States which four years ago, gave
large Democratic majorities have all fel
the ravages of war; Missouri with the rest
while every State which gave an anthem
ocratic majority has escaped. The changt
in figures above shown, therefore merely
shows that Missouri has not suffered with
ont learning wisdom from her experience. =
There are ample reasons to account for Mis-
souri's getting heartily sick OF Copperhea
Democracy.
