We have sufficient returns to show
the election of Mr. Wells, anti-NebrasAa
Democrat, by about 800 majority. Two
causes operated in the defeat Of Alr. Spoo-

300 the Silver Grey Wings going for
Mr.. Wells. And 3D. Mr.. Wells came
out openly and squarely upon the Anti
Nebraska platform, a few days before
election. lie is also pledged to vote for
the repeal Of the Fugitive Slave Law
These pledges secured for him the entire

Saturday, November IL, 1854.

We wish it to be remarked that we
predict that the last. the very last, of the
Republican party has been seen in this
county and in the country at large.-he-
nosha Democdt,
We give our neighbor the benefit of
our circulation to spread this remarkable
prediction. The regular Democracy"
have been about swept from the face of
the earth in recent elections, and the pia-
ces that once knew them are taking leave
Of them forever. But our neighbor, with
courage worthy Of better fate, turns
back and pauses on his Salt River jour
ney, to put this prophecy on record. We
know Of no parallel instance, except in
the case of that jolly contemporary of
Moan. who when he found the ark closed
against him and was compelled to take to
the water. expressed the utmost conf
dence that the prevailing shower was but
a trifiing matter which would soon sub
side and be forgotten.

A Fatal. tslunder.

We predicted some months since that
the effort of Seward and w eed to keep
up the old wing organization in N. York
would be productive of no good to them
selves or any person. else. 1t has proved
even more disastrous than we supposed.

ten for Governor, and the probabihtyiis
that Stewards friends will be largely III
tho minority in the Legislature, The
Legislature has a United States Senator
to choose in places Of Seward, and tho
probability now IS that he will fail Of
reelection. The move OIL his part 70
keep up this organization was 50 devoid
Of good sense, and so manilestly'a nero
personal move that it makes tis 25"3-

Had the wings, who had no reason for
keeping up thdir organization, gone heart

did elsewhere they would have swept

Something worth knowing.

There have been some excellent men
heretofore connected with the Temper
ance, .Anti-Slavcry, and Republican move
ment generally, who, at the late election
were fairly frightened from their sense of
propriety by the Know-Nothing bugbear
and labored zealously for Whiskey and
Nebraska, under the impression that they
were dealing effective blows at this new
monster which was threatening to deyour
them. 1t is unpleasant to deprive these
excellent friends of what little consola-
ton this belief may afford them, but we
have the very best reason for believing
and saving that good share, if not a ma
iority, OF the ticket for which they peril
led their good names by elcctiopecring,
was made up Of men who are members in
good standing of this very order.
This is not said lightly, but with con-
fdence of its truth and it is said at this
time to induce men to exercise little
watchfuluess, that when they propose to
take a step which IS likely to peril and
prejudice the good name they have been
years in acquiring, they shall get a consi-
Iteration for it.
The truth is, ascribing Know Nothing
ism to the Republican party was trick
Of our opponents, and of disappointed and
designing individuals trick which no
sensIblc III should have been intluenc-
cd by. And another truth IS, that the
men who were and are most active in
stirring up opposition to our party in
this matter. are not unfreQuently mem
bers Of the order.
Now. however, that the excitement OF
election has sui sit d, we expect candid
men to sec this thing in its true light;
first, that the order is composed of men
Of all parties second, that from the very
nature Of the order, its representatives
are quite as likely to be on one ticket rs
another. and that it is next to impossible
to tell ,rho they are, or ,rAere they are;
third. that there can he no safe reliance
in the matter except in the Fundamental
basis on which party rests; and fourth,
that the Republican party is the only
party viii n has such basis that it cam
not by any possibility affiliate with pro
scription Of any kind.

rho Result IN Ills county.

The aggregate vote in this county on
congressman at the late election is 1913.
In 1852 it was 17l4 1t can hardly bo
doubted that there has been an increase
in the vote Of the county since 1852, and
that it is safe to assume that the vote Of
the county was BOT Gus by three hundred.
Wells gets now one hundred and fifteen
more votes than he got il 1852, so that
it is pretty safe to assume that all his
vote in thc'county was polled Spooner
has 373 less than was got by Durkee and
Darand, so it is equally safe to assume
that the three hundred not out were lost
to the Republican vote. Every reader
can draw his own conclusions from these
premises.

We have heretofore been 10th to be-
lieve there was such an organization IN
this County as Know Nothings," but the
late election. and recent developments
have convinced us to the contrary.
But we have always contended that
the bunker party pre-eminently sympa-
thized with the spirit of prescription, ana
we so contend now.
The foreigners in this County all vo-
ted for Aver and Wells. Yet we have
personal knowledge that Mr.. Aver sym

knox is a member Of the order, came to
us, aud with an oficial nod Of iDirma-
ton. pointed to paragraph stating that
Mr.. Wells is a member of the organiza-
ton. and was the candidate of the Order.

fed themselves in abandoning their par

they think of this.-D.

Putnanl's Monthly.

This is really one of tho best maya
zines published. It's omincntly instruct
ing emilsing and deeply interesting to
every reader. The fundamental feature
about it should commend it to all; its
strictly original character. 1t is strictly
american, treats of great American Ide-
as and Subjects, and is wholly written by
American authors. Without affecting
any of that contemplate narrowness,
which extolls anything because it is
American, or decrics anyth.ng because II
is foreign, or which deems America, as
such, better than any other country, for
we loathc the sentiment; still, when re
prints Of conservative and learned nam

piquancy and freshness of Original ideas,
comes down on the dead level of the bar

shower upon the long parehed earth, or

Hunherism and Suffrage.

MaIMorth County.

The vote Of Walworth County was
very light. which accounts to some eX-
tent for the small minority got by Mr.,
Spooner compared to what he ought to
have had. Another thing which worked
TO his disadvantage was analliance formed
on the county ticket between the Demo
Gratis and Silver Grey Wings which ex-
tended to the Congressional ticket.
The Republicans however have elected
their whole county ticket by some 500
majority, and have got the whole of the
six Assemblymen from that county. Thi:
is doing well.

BY the by, inasmuch as this life boat
cannot be properly cared for without q

this suggestion as a means of getting
round that grave constitutional ditticnl-
ty which precludes the building of har-
bors, for no other purpose than to pro,
