been without animation but also without any other

"A
The returns Of the election in this coun-
tv. are in sufficiently to give us toler
ably accurate knowledge of the result.
The result is not what we expected; for
we anticipated much larger majority
for the Republican ticket, and much
larger majority was conceded, at least
few days ago, by its enemies. Issues not
anticipated few days ago, entered into,
and indeed controlled the election and
altered very materially the character of
the result.
This issue was "Knolc Nothing ism"
On all the other "isnts" ascribed to us by
our enemies we were getting along well.
The prospect was vorable-indeed about
certain-that we should make pretty
clean sweep of our enemies; but this last
%isnt.'' come like their good angel in the
hour of need. and pressing it into their
service they made it tell well for their
cause. Whether justly or not, the Re
Dublican ticket was made to bear all the
Jdium there was about Know Nothing
ism. and the effect was that while it did
not, and probably did not seek to. add
votes to cur cause, it united every for
eigncr in body against US, and also re-
PEELED many American votes which other
wise would have been with us. For a
week or ten days past. it has been utter
ly impossible to get any thing ont Of our
opponents but Know y othingism.' Those
who commenced the clectioneering cam
paign by talking about Nebraska and the
real Issues of the campaign, mounted the
Know y othing hobby with zeal and drop-
ping every thing else, spent their time
night and day in exciting the prejudiccs
and apprehensions Of every person offor
eign birth. In this city, at an Anti
Know Nothing Meeting, called on the
evening before election and composed of
a very large crowd of deeply interested,
if not e,rcited, foreigners. a city alderman
of the North Ward (whose name is not
Shifting stated it as tact beyond dispute
that large numhcr-at least three hun-
ired-revolycrs had been brought into
the city for the use Of the Know Moth
ings to be used on election day in int;m
dating voters of foreign birth. And this
was but one of the thousand kindred sto-
ricS and rumors afloat, the effect of which
was to drive from us scores of our here
tOfore warmest friends, to give new life
to expiring hunkerism, and although it
lid not defeat our ticket, to reduce its
majority throughout very largely. Ne
think it will be conceded by the lIulller
Democrats that what little show they
have made has been entirely by their sue
cess in sinking out Of sight the real is
sues, and making prominent this new and
unreal one.
How it may have worked elsewhere in
the State, we know not but if elsewhere
