A Know-No.hfnr Victory.

The other day the Wing papers were rejoicing
over the success of "Sam," in the Wing city OF
Cleveland, Ohio. That the people of the South may
know who ''Sam's" friends were in Cleveland, on
what principles he was successful, and by whom
elected, we copy the following statement from the
Cleveland Express, the Know-N Nothing organ in that
city Speaking of the election, it says:
SThe colored population generally voted for the
American ticket day before yesterday. In this they
showed good Judgment, and will have no occasion to
regret their action. They rejoice with us in SANS
triumph over weak, corrupt Nebraska Administra-

The Know Nothing Council at Philadelphia drags
it's slow length along. AS late Wednesday night
nothing had been done, although the debate upon the
platform was to close at 10 o'clock, when perhaps
vote might be taken. The North seemed TO be grow
ing sitter in her position, ard more exacting in her
demands. while the South presented less unbreken
'front.' and took feebler ground The main Southern
detection has been on the part of Kenneth Rayner,
of North Carolina, who has created quite storm
among the Southern members, by denouncng the
Kanzas and Nebraska Bill. including that feature
repeating the Missouri compromise and leaving the
territory open to Southern, slave holding settlement
not only unnecessary but an outrage. The New York
Tribunes reporter says that Kenneth got despatch
from reliable friend in New York assuring him
that the order could not carry single Northern
State upon the majority PLATFORM and hence the cave
