Daily Dispatch, Richmond VA, November 1, 1860.
In the Sixteenth Congressional District of Ohio, Cutler, Republican, was elected by sixty-four majority over Jewett, Democrat. In a large number of precincts negroes voted the Republican ticket, and in consequence the Democratic candidate was defeated. The Marietta Republican gives the number of negroes voting in several precincts.–enough to decide the result — and intimates that the election will be contested. As the Constitution of the State provides that no one shall vote if he is not a white citizen of the United States, all persons of negro blood are disqualified from voting. This is a plain proposition, which the House of Representatives affirmed, in the contested election case of Vallandigbam vs.Campbell, two years ago!
