However much we may and do differ po-
litically, radically and vitality differ, from Gov
German and Secretary Rosscr, we cannot with
hold the need Of praise to them for having
mainly contributed, by their personal exer.ons
in Washington, to bring about this postpone
ment, and to relieve the settlers from the grind
ing exactions OF money brokers and the soil
of our Territory from the curse of being shin
gled over by the land warrants OF nonresident

HOW SAM WINS.

We some time since showed how the Hin1oo
ticket was elected in Truxton, a strong Wing
town in Cortland County, where a raite ballot
was circulated and voted as Democratic, and .
red ballot as American, but the names on the two
tickets were identical and all the Irish votes con-
tributed to Sans Wanted victory. The Oneida
Saehtm narrates the kindred means by which the
itreDg Democratic town Of Lenox, Madison
County, was carried BY the Hndoos; and, % 1t
will serve to explain good many Know-Noshng
victories We conden,e the &C ;ount a. follows:
Leno1 il pretty large town, containing, We
Judge, some 900 voters, of whom some 500 were
formerly Democrats, 800 Whiss, and 100 Abo-
ltionists. Recently, four "Kno " Nothing"
lodges have been established in different parts of
that town, and their united vote il known 10 be
jus. about two hundred, or less than quarter OF
the entire vote Of the township. This squad
seasoIably determined to carry the town at the
Spring Election, and appointed committee OF
nine from each lodge to devise the ways and means.
In due time, this joint committee reported
ticket for town officers, made up Of citizens we'll
known AZ Wings and Democrats, but not knoxa
as Hirdoos. All was kept profoundly secret,
and the Know Nothing forces rallied in their
strength at the open caucuses Of the Whigs and
Democrats respectively, to foist the KaOw-NOth-
irg candidates on the several tickets Of their old
parties. This was ehected-nobody understand
ing the game but those iniated-and all the Hin
Goo candidates were regularly nominated on
either the Wing or the Democratic ticket.
Hencefortb, all was open and shut; the Hin
docs kept dark, and let the un,uspec:isg Whigs
vote the Wing ticket, the Democrats the Demo-
cratic, while they secretly voted the Hindoo,

were counted out, three-fourtbs Of the voters

passage, aid agree to tustain it.
