II The Republican vote of Virginia, South
Carolina. Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas,
was larger at their last than at any preceding
election. arguing an accession of White voters
to our side.
III. Indiana gave but 06l Republican major
fly at her State Election in 49, though, in tho
swiftly succeeding Presidential vote, when
Grant was known to be already virtually
chosen, she swcllcd it to 0,j'2. Every one un-
dcrstaYds, however, that she il a very close
State, and chat the truo majority was eyinccd
at the State Election.
". Connecticut did give 3Oi majority for
Grant il November, G8 but The VoH3 c0nccals
the fact that she gave 1,76l for English at her
State Election in April preceding. Connecticut
has thousands of voters habitualy travelling ~
ship-mas;ers, insurance agents, &c., OF whom
three fourths are Republicans; and these rarely
come home TO vote except for President
Every one knows that her Republicans uni

clear popular majority. Ii This result tends to
reconcile the Democrats to Impartial Suffrage
wo shall prize it oven more highly than We
have done.
V. New-lIampshirc olrays allowed Whites
and Blacks TO vote on like conditions; so there
is no "addition Of negro voters" and no
shadow of chang made in her electoral body
by the XVIII Amendment. OF course, that
Amendment had no influence over her late
election.
VI. IT il a fact that the Republicans of our
State did not poll so many votes in 20 as they
did in IS; but then they never DO poll so many
at the Intermediate as at the Presidential Flee
tons. The falling Off IN 1862 was far greater
than in 1870; it would have been as great
in 1866 if Andy johnson & Co. had not
siumped the State for us III " swinging round
tie circle"
VII. If the Whites vote against us because
of Negro Suffrage, it is upon Che assumption
that to vote with the Democrats Is to vote
against Negro Suffrage But suppose the Dem
ocrats proclaim that they, too, uphold Negro
Suffrage, what thcn2 May not the White Re
publicans who have left us in Delaware,
Maryland and Kentucky because they dislike
Black Suffrage, come back TO us when they
find that the Democrats acquicsce III it, and
are fishing for all the negro votes they can
get A?
VII. The Republicans Of this State declared
for Impartial Suffrage when they knew that
they lost many votes by it and gained none.
They are Injured TO suffering for Principles
sake; and TIE World may rest assured that,
whatever it may cost, they viii stand by I'M
partial Suffrage.
We will not press the point, since we rather
wish success to The World i'll its attempt to
convert its party to Impartial Suffrage. Yet
We do not tho less feel that its attempt to
"run with the hare and hold with the hounds
will come at last to be classcd among the
"ways that are dark and tricks that are yain.'
