SNNHANagGLU vi NEA-
terday andthis morning we have partial re.
turns from the Kentucky elections, which
indicate that the Know Nothings aided by
the Democratic party have swept like an
~avalanch over the whole State. A~special
dispatch to the Columbian from Louisville
says:
"The election here to-day is considered
a complete Know Nothing victory. The
results are not all announced. Johnson is
elected Police Judge over Joyce, the late
incumbent. Logan is probably elected
County Judge"
OF the result in covington and Newport
the Columbian adds:
CovINcToN.-"The wholeK N. nomina-
ton were carried with astonishing MAORI
ties. The other candidates were no where.
The election passed off with the utmost
good order. Some gentlemen, who early
in the day thought the Know Nothinos
would be desperately beaten, changed their
minds as the day wore on.
After dark the boys got out a cannon and
paraded through the streets, firing at in
~tervals in token of joy at the victory of the
American candidates.
NEWPORT. The Know Nothing candi-
dates carried Newport by fully as large a
majority as those of Coyington.
A gentleman who left Cinthiana, Harri-
son Co., KY, yesterday afternoon, Informs
us that the following candidates were ahead
and that the impression among the know
ing ones was, that the Know Nothing tick
ct would be unanimously elected.
The great majority of these elected in
these three counties are Democrats, and
carried with triumphant majorities.
In adding to its returns the Columbian
of this morning says:
KENYON CouNTY.--We received, yester
day afternoon, the returns of the elections
in h evarious precincts of Kenton county,
except Piner's and Staffordsburgh, which
will not materially vary the result.
1t is certain that all the candidates sus-
tanned by the Know Nothings, have been
elected by overwhelming majorities, except
Hereford, the X. N. candidate for Attor-
ney, whose majority will be reduced to 20.
There is no doubt ofhis election.
HARRIsoN CouNTY.-Through the kind
ness of Conductor Wellman, of the G. q
L. R. R., we are enabled to give returns
from a number of precincts in Harrison
county. We would have the full vote, but
no returns were received from Paris or
Lexington.
FROM MAYsvILLE.-We learn from the
clerk of the steamer VIM. Knox, that the
Know Nothing candidates carried every
thing before them at Maysville.
GALLATIN Cove learn from the Of
fcers Of the Fl Pitt, that the X. Ms, are
quite successful in Gallatin, Co. AT War
saw, Hiram, Baldwin, (W. was elected
over Robinson o. for County Clerk, by
over 100 majority. Robinson has held the
office for 10 years past. The Sheriff is
Thos. Willard Cd
If the above can be relied upon as any
indication of the general result, the Know
Nothingsin connection with the Democrats
carried the whole State. After this can
our neighbors of the Eagle have the effront-
cry to assert that the "Know' Nothings,"
is is a Whigorganization? We have been
looking in vain all day to see Chapman"
flying at their mast head, but in this as vet
we have been disappointed, Come friends,
now is your day of rejoicing-enjoy your
selves-we trust ours will come some day.
THE NEWSPAPER Professionalism,
to attain its end, should understand and
preserve its proper character. 1t should
be cautious, and courageous; circumspect,
yet independent: acting out its own honest
convictions, and intent on its W honora.
BILE objects. There may be times of pas
sion, fanatacism, aud wild excitement when
the honest and brave journalist must bare
his bosom to the storm, and bid defiance to
every menance and danger. He may be
called upon to advocate hated and abiured
truth, and combat popular, error perilling
character and substance in obeying con
science and honest convictions, while he
cheerfully bides his time for more par
tial hearing and a %juster public Judgment.
Worthless and vile is the journal too igno-
rant to take positions, or once having taken
them, ever ready, from timidity or sordid
calculation, to abandon them. Journalism
lowers itself when it seeks merely party
ends in politics, or sectarian ends in relig-
ion. 1t disgraces itself when it deals in
coarse personalities, aiming to murder a
character, but not to mend It; and crush an
opponent OF party, but not to put them
right. Patronism should prompt, and not
party; Christianity and not sect,
A TRAGEDY AT THE OPERA.-A late let
ter from Paris says:
On the evening previous at the Grand
Opera while Mile Nau was in the midst of
one of the finest passages in the c~loseing
act of the opera of "The Prophet" a sin
gular freak of a foreigner threw the large
and fashionable audience into a scene of
confusion which it would not be difficult to
comprehend. But little did the audience
who came to hear the beautiful music of
Mayerbeer, expect to hear the defamation
of a pistol. A gentleman had the bad
taste to choose at that moment, and in the
midst of the dress circle, surrounded by
ladies in grand toilette, to blow his brains
out. A suicide in the Speral imagine the
scene, the disorder, the cries, the music
and the singing suddenly arrested, the cur
tain dropped.
