DEFEAT OF THE KNOW-NOTHINGS.

The result of the elections in New York is especially
interesting because Of the insight it affords into the real
strength of the know-nothng party In these elections
for the first time since its organization the knownothng
order nominated distinct and Independent ticket And
they availed themselves of peculiarly favorable conunc
ture of circumstances for exhibition of their strength
After three candidates for the governorshp already
in the field, they brought forward a man who was the
whig nominee for the Office of attorney general in 1852
and who of his popularity with the silver
grays would certainly draw off large vote from the Au-
burn and Saratoga ticket The ustes this ealca
ton for it is ascertaned that the national whgs cons
tuted no inconsiderabe portion Of Umans support De
spite these advantages the knownothng candidates. badly
beaten Again. in the city Of New York, the know-noth-
ngs attempted TO play the same game They brought for
ward candidate for the mayoralty when three had
already been nominated for the Office and they de-
feaed The result in these elections is conclusive of the
fact that the power of know-nothingism is fiction
What is true in reference to New }ork would have
Cured in State had alliance not been formed be-
tween the whig abolition, and knownothng parties On
separate ticket the know-nothings only poled l2l 900
votes the wings $4,000 while the democracy alone poed
10000 But in this State the fusion was complete far
the governor concerned and hence the election of
James X Pollock This however, does prove that the
know-nothings a majority in this Commonwealth. On
the contrary their weakness confessed by their desire
amalgamate with the wings and praveH by the meagre
poed for their candidate per Mr. Baird parties
had remained separate in this State they did in New
York the democracy would have swept the State by $4,000
majority. As it is the democratic party is united and

recruits whose sole object punder and who will desert

the allies and when the camp is once dissolved into its
original elements the truth of assertion will be dis
Lctly ascerained As the figures now stand the defeat
of the democracy no by any process save that of open
ascation, be tortured into know~nothing victory The
real strength of that faction in the number of votes
