In the midst of the election, the election was held in the same ratio as the voting strength today. The same ratio of voting strength today would amount to about 5,000,000. Mr. Idolph stated in his first inaugural that his object in waging war on the abolitionists was to free the slaves, instead of saving the Union, he could not have mustered a corporal's guard in the great Democratic States of the North and West, what is the evidence to prove this? If it is, until Fort Sumter was tired on, the Northern states of the North and West were not aroused. Mr. Idolph was not inclined to know what in Spain or the West. But when Sumter fell and the fine was hauled down, the whole North and West were aroused, and Democratic volunteers, called for by Democratic governors and led by Democratic generals, flew to arms, and, after a stubborn struggle, unveiled the Union, which the Republican party had destroyed by causing the Southern States to withdraw from the Union. And to come to particulars, four-fifths of the Union armies were Democrats and old-line Whigs. As for the abolitionists.  They were "invisible in war."
