Mass. Election.

The Boston Weekly Telegraph which
goes for Know Noihingism. the Maine Law,
and Anti-Slavery, in accounting for the
results of the late election, ascribes it to
"ihc general feeling that the old party IS
sues were disposed Df and that desire for
fusion and re- organization Of parties,
which politicians had refused 10 crafty
That under the influence of this feeling,
threc-6ihs Of the late Wings and about the
same proportion Of Democrats have formed
the new party.n with which about FIVE sixths
OF the Free Soil parts have gone. II thinks
that the number Of Know Nothings IN the
lodges Of Mass do not equal Mr.. GARDENERS
maiority and under the new order Of things
which II soon 10 be. the liquor Law will be
enforced even IN Boston. Il says;-
The statute now in force IN this State
may not be--indeed 1t IS not-so effective
an enactment a. its friends intended It should
be: but they mean 20 make il So aud will
prosecute the work with energy and determ-
inliion until the law Is made perfect. With
large majority 10 the legislature the COM
ing winter, an the desired amendments can
aud viii be passed without difficulty and
the "traden will find thui the ights of moral
and Christian men, Of drunkards' wives and
drunkards' children must be respected"
The Congregat lonalist says
This result was not anticipated, and we
think, Is not to be regretted. Many Of
these officers elect we personally know Ia
DC sound on the most vital questions that
will come bcfre them, aud we are Informed
that a large majority will probably be found
to be so. While legislation may be some
Whist embarrassed by the extensive want OF
practical experience on the par, Of so many
uew uen, It may, on the other hand, be IA
cilated by th'ir freedom from many bad
habits which so netlmes cling to veterans IN
the service.
On tue whole. we incline TO hope that the
interests of the State will be found TO be IN
good hands, aid we shall certainly be dis
posed 20 hope all things, and believe good OF
the Great and General Court, until we hre
driven 10 believe something else-whcl
may Heaven fonend."
