With the exception OF feE strong ma
tIoual Mattress" the event strikes 10 person
with wonder. The ultra AboltiouisJs were
the first men who entered into the know
Nothing arrangement in Massachusetts,, and
they had nothing at heart but the support Of
their principles, which means the election of
their candidates. They have been successful.
General Wilson has worked hard foT an elee-
tioH to the United States Senate, and he has
obtained It. He had, indeed, one night to the
oflee-he fought vzlisntly tor It Besides,
the opposition never sem out any stloug man
against him. General Wilson : elected as
thorough Free Soil politician. He never hsd
any other character during his whole political
lifs, aad the majority which elected hin be-
long to the same political family.

We have not doubted this result ever since
the evening OF the 18Th OF November last,
when It became as evident IS light itself tina.
the KHos-Nothing party had brcoded and
oaueused. affiliated and planned, lzbo-ed and
huzza' d, fOE E victory, whose choicest fruits
would be shared and enjoyed only by the
Temperance and Free Soil parties. They had
nearly every Representative IN Congress, and
large majority in the Legislature, which Sc
cured a Free Soiler to the United States SEN
ate, Snd We expressed ourselves TO this effect
on the morning after the State election.
Gen. Wilson's plans are crowned with sue
cess He has proved himself TO he shrewd
political manager, and can play, nay, he has
played, deep and artful game. He had this
ulumstum OF his ambition II view when he
relinquished the nomination Of the Republic

Gen. Wilson and his friends are ans Hered,

place daily, and clssensions among those who
remain viii efFectually prevent them from ac-
complishing any important results. The idea

From The Springfield R=publi,an-
The result Is quite as attributable to the op-
poneRts Of Gen. Wilson as 10 his friends. 1t
needed the stupidity Of the former 10 complete
the obient Of the industry and skill Of the lat

We have said from the commencement Of
the contest, that he would be chosen, and. az
il was settled tllat We were TO have mem
Der Of the Know Nothing Order chosen to the
Senate, we are much pleased that Gen. Will
son has been the fortunate man. His talents
are fully equal to the high Office to which he
has been called, and his election viii prove
generally satisfactory. For years General
Wilson has been the representative man Of
that intense opposition 10 whiggery which has
been the predominant sentiment Of the masses
in Massachusetts, and which has never failed
to strike down the whig party whenever those
entertaining IL could be united for the pur-
pose OF accomplishing any particular end
The result Of the Senatorial contest must be
peculiarly gratifying to the wings, who have
pursued Gen. Wilson with bitterness of
feeling altogether without example in our
State.
