have to be taken. "A new count showed
that the vote was correct, and the result

nominee for Governor, who, upon being
introduced by Mr.. Norton, was received
with the widest enthusiasm, and said he
came through the partiality of friends as
a candidate for Governor, against gen
tlemana whom he highly respected. He
could butareturn thanks, for to be chosen

fman who was willing to give the errins
brethren trial and was disappointed il
their conduct. The denial of rights to tht
people of the South is greater now thar

have much to say about the using of sol
diers at the polls. In years gone by they
could use the army with great propriety
in hunting fugitive slaves. just now they
want to purify the ballot box. Strang
but true. Ballot box stuffing, etc., wa
then referred to as an Offset.
