The true Democrat., 1855-11-27
The Know Nothings, in their State Council

The Know Nothings, in their State Council in this State, have passed, as usual, abolition resolutions, declaring slavery sectional and freesoilism national" The second resolution of the Know Nothings declares that,
 "Freedom being national and slavery sect iona, while the latter is left in the exercise of all its strictly constitutional rights, in the States where 1t now exists, its further extension and longer connection with the general government should be uncompromisingly opposed and re- sisted"
 The third proposes a union of "all who op- pose the encroachments of slavery, and would restore the policy of the fathers of the Repub- lic"
 ILLINOIS.
 This democratic State will always be true to the constitution and the Union. Even in Chi cago, the stronghold of Know Nottingham and abotionism, the democrats carried the day. electng Nebraska democrats by nearly three hundred over the Know Nothing and abolition fusion candidates It will be remembered that just one year ago, the Know Nothngs and abotionists elected their ticket by three thou sand. This is indeed glorious triumph of democratic Nebraska principles. A clear gain of three thousand three hundred votes, in one short year, in favor of national principles. The Chicago Times, says: "The result is, we say again glorious one one which we send greeting to our friends abroad as slight indication of the immense change of sentiment in the great city of Chi cago.'
 MISSISSIPPI.
 This noble State has given "Sam" his death blow. The democrats have made clear sweep. The Mississippian says:
 "In our next issue, we will endeavor to pub fish the full official vote of the State, for eve- ry State officer; meantime, the returns justify Us in stating now that the democracy have elect ed their State ticket by from five to six thou sand majority; maj jority of thirty odd in the legislature, on joint ballot, which secures the election of sound democrat to the United States Senate in place of Stephen Adams, and certainly four out of five Congressmen."
 The following is the result of the Congress sional elections:
 First aistrict-D. B. Wright, (democrat)
 Second H. $. Bennett, (democrat)
 Third " Wm. Barksdale, (democrat.)
 FomM Wm. R. Lake, (K. N.,)
 FJh " Jno. A. Quitman, (democrat) Also:
 "The returns indicate the election of w. B. Trotter, (democrat) over Henry Dickinson, (Know Nothing,) to the office of Vice Chan celor of the northern district, by large ma jorty.
 Hon. c. F. Smith, (dem.) has been re-elect- ed Judge of the high court of errors and ap- peals, by the southern district, without opposi- tion."
 The democrats of Mississippi have large majority in the legislature and will elect g Senator in the place of Stephen Adams, Know Nothing-elect probably Hon. Jacob Thomp. son.

 Louisiana too is also vindicaed from the foul stain of Know Nottingham. Notwith standing they abolished their Catholic test anC nominated Catholics for Governor and Lieuten ant Governor, the Know Nothings were stl deteated-badly beaten.
