Butler: "I then issued my General Order No 1, in which I made it plain that there were several thousand secessionists in New York. They were there in such numbers as to impede the Union men getting lodgings and boarding-house accommodations, the landlords saying that they could let all the room they had to Southerners at their own prices. I took care that the Southerners should understand that means would be taken for their identification, and that whoever of them should vote would be dealt with in such a manner as to make them uncomfortable. That was sufficient, and substantially no Southerners [secessionists] voted at the polls on election day."
Well gee, that was fair. </sarcasm>

Well, he didn't really mean
Southerners, now did he?
He was talking code, and meaning McClellan supporters.
Real Southerners would have to bathe for a week, to wash participation in a New York election off of them.

If a Southerner was voting in New York, then he would've been doing so illegally. Have you no common sense?
