DIVISION OF THE coloREp VOTE.

The independence shown by the colored citi-
zens, at the nomination election, on Saturday, is
worthy of remark. They did not, as those who
dislike them had steadily predicted, follow the
suggestions of any individual, but exercised
their right of choice, independently, and with
manly self-respect In this city, some voted for
one candidate some for another, and the total
OF their support was divided among all the
twelve competitors. This was also the case in
the country districts. In most hundreds, like
the..white voters, they supported the aspirant
nearest to them in residence. and showed their
appreciation of the claims of locality.
We estimate that in Wilmington, Lewis, Harvey,
Hagany and Martin polled the great part of the
colored vote, though all the other candidates re-
ceived some. These four gentlemen were all
supported largely by the colored citizens, Lewis
and Harvey by about an equal number, and
Martin and Hagany by about the same.
In West Brandywine, Martin received all the
colored vote.
In Christiana it was divided between Martin
and Armstrong.
In Mill Creek, the same.
In New Castleit was divided between Gemmill
and Harvey.
In Red Lion, Hukill, Harvey and Lewis OF
tanned it, in about the order named.
In Pencader. it went to Harvey, Martin and
Hukill.
In st. Georges, the bulk of the vote was cas-
for Harvey.
In Appoquinimink, it was given almost unari
mously for Hukill.
In White Clay Creek, Harvey obtained thu
greater part.
Our information on these points comes from
gentlemen in the various voting districts.
may be open to trifing criticism but in the mai
it is accurate, 1t proves exactly what we set on
to show-that the colored citizens exercised thei
own right of choice, and decided upon thei
preference by the same influences that affect tn
mass of voters.
