just after had closed my letter Of the 10th, I
lsll In with prominent member Of the Know No.
hing party, who told me that returns hal been re:
ceived from 4lO Councils" whica showed the par.
ys numbers TO consist Of up wards Of 900 voters
He expressed the opinion that Mr.. Gardner would
receive not less than 65 900 voes thought he was
casing" though aware that the party was strong.
The event has proved that he was moderate In his
,s,imate. That event hes astounded every one. Not
only have the wings been exterminatsd. but tho
KLow Nothings have carried everything. Yet. on
reflection, We ought mot to be surprised at the gone
ral result, howmuchsoever some of tho details may
astonish us. There has been growing up An aver
which nothing but the want Of union ON The part of
their foes prevented from coming to something
long ago. The partial union effected in 1850
81. OF the various branches Of tho opposition,
showedkhat c,ud be done; and at the same timc the
events OF those years disclosed the great diicultcs
that existed In .he way OF forming Q permanent
union. Hea ce IL was that few people wero pre-
psrd for what occurred here yesterday. II was
SHOWN that there was q powerful new party, but
most men I'll oug.s II would encounter more for
m.dab;e resistance ;san + received. Tho reason
that it succeeded sC much bctter than the coalion,
vas bccsusc II ex czenced no trouble q speak Of,
frcm within. There was not in 1t Q body Of men
ioing all that they could - help the wings. The
oefeet Of tho wiliae would have been alm04t as COM
plefe last year as has this, habit not been for tho
lnte is encs Of the general gcvcrnment In their be-
ba and the purchase Of the Catholics TO their sup
roSt. Not only had Know Nothiugs nothing to
fear, and the wings to hope, from the nations ad-
had once helped q c wings, and were expected TO
10 60 again, ara, d the Protestants in no small
puMbers agaiLss I'm. Then the moustrons error
Il the wings In making such bitter war on
Mr.. Gardner, was attended with the enecs OF
&usng thousands upen Thousands OF demo-
Gratis end free soileys 10 vote for him, who sav
that biz election would be the most mortfyng thiog
that could happen to the wings, and probably Do the
means Of utterly overthrcwing them. H.ving
easy thing To- 70 fcr the rest Of his psrtya noi
rees. Everybody seems to be pleased with the
result, save few whigs; and this is an additional
vcaaon for believing that men supported the Know
NOtNines more for the sake OF getting nd Of rule
that they hated than form any very strong attach
/ pent TO tbe principles Of the new organisatton.
