“IS SAUL AMONG THE PROPHETS?”—The Courier, after sneering against steamboat, canal and railroad votes, as unworthy any attention, this morning parades with a grand flourish a couple of such votes making out a small Polkat majority. If we chose, we might publish every day half a dozen votes taken on the different conveyances to and from this city, and all with scarcely an exception showing the same result, viz: a majority of about two to one for CLAY. The following is the vote taken yesterday on the eastern train of cars, which we had no thought of mentioning till we saw the bantam strutting of the Courier this morning:

For CLAY, . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 97

“ POLK, . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 54

“ BIRNEY, . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7

“ JOE SMITH, . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4

The vote taken on board the steamboat Wayne, on her last downward trip was as follows:

For CLAY, . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 33

“ POLK, . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 15

“ BIRNEY, . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3

Neutral, . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4

These are fair samples of the votes that are daily reported to us. The vote on the railroad cars between Detroit and Ann Arbor, which the Courier says showed 69 for POLK and 31 for CLAY, was taken on the day that a great Loco Foco meeting was advertised in the county, and a large number of Polkats from Detroit went out on the cars to attend it. This will account for the majority that was obtained, and the fact that the Locos embraced such an opportunity to take a vote, and publish it, shows their sense of their weakness. A party with a just reliance upon its strength never resorts to such an artifice. It is in keeping, however, with [t]heir pretensions—all are hollow and unsubstantial.

The vote on the Fulton, also, to which the Courier alludes, is but little better. It was taken by a Loco who lives about the dock, who went round the boat pencil in hand, asking each man who he would vote for, and then announced the result to please himself. Such is the character of the vote that the Courier says “looks like an honest one.”
