any right to count West Virginia for any party.
It has no recorded prediction. 1t has only
voted in one Presidency, and then it decided

State would at that time have been denied by
the other party.
Ohio is somewhat in the same position as
Indiana and Illinois. 1t was Democra!ic

Mr. JEFFERSON DAVIS IN ENGLAND. 'rh.
London Morning Herald, speaking orthc res
pect and attention that has been shown to Mr..
Jefferson Davis, in England, says
ut would be unfortunate, aud it would be
unworthy, were the American people to take
offence at the welcome given to the chief Of the
fallen Confcderacv. We may request them to
remember that we have nothing TO do with
their present feuds and merely political squab-
bIes-with the abrogation O! Southern State
rights and the prescription OF Southern citizens
TO us, South and North arc now parts Of one
American Union, ana Mr.. Davis is man hon
ored and esteemed throughout one.half of that
Union, as few unsuccessful leaders have ever
been honored by those whom they conducted
to defeat and ruin. We welcome not the enemy
ofthe United States, but the chief of the South
ern people. We honor not so much the living
as the dead; we express our sympathy with no
present party strife, no possible aspirations for
the future, but with past that, however glor-
ious, however honorable however full Of lofty
deeds and great achievements, is beyond recall.
That we sympathzed with the South, that We
believed it's cause to be good, that we desired
its triumph and lamented its fall, is known to
every citizen Of America. What should we gain
by affecting to ignore our former sympathies,
or to repent our past conduct? Were We to
pretend now to condemn what we then admir-
ed, to believe the South 10 the wrong because
she was conquered, and to abasc ourselves at
the feet of the conquerors, what should We gain
and what should we deserve but the hearty
contempt and utter loathing Of every man,
Northerner Or Southerner, who took part 10y
ally with the cause he believed to be Just, and
fought honestly to the last for his State or for
