But We have fiith inquiry 70 make Of the
Foney and Pierce presses, which We hope they
win answer Way was Il, that, on The first
arrival Of the telsgaphic despatch Al Wash
ington, announcing Stewards reelection, 500
eral Standardization Democratic Ssnators joy
f1lly extended their AaAds, and congratulated
that Senator upon tAs result, Again, why
was IL that on the night Of tho same day, sss-
sral admiais tration Democrats visited Seward
at his lodgings, and rejoiced with him upon
his triumph Can ys answer these two
last inquiriess We win answer them for you.
II was because they were led TO believe that
Seward had entrapped the Know othings Into
his support, and that an opportunity would
now be afforded for orsshing them NJ the South
Unfortunately for these gentlemen, such
hopes are blasted by the damning proofs which
are now exhibited, that the american party,
as such, did not support Mr.. Stewards election,
but on the contrary, essayed 10 defeat him
and that he owes his recent triumph 10 treach'
cry practised towards our party, and TO coali
tons with bogus Know Nothings and Forney
and Pierce Democratsi
We cannot close this brief view Of the 70
cent election Of Mr.. Seward more appropriately
than by inserting the following extract Of I
letter from Albany, written few moments
after the election, and published In the New
York Herald Of the 7th, to wit:
''Thus, after the sevcrest contest ever known ID
the political annals of this country, has William II
Seward barely escaped political humiliation. a
victory achieved under circumstances Ike this, \
a thousand times worse than any defeat. He ma,
resume his seat in the Senate, but II Is at the ex
pense of the whole Wing party of this State. i
could not tomorrow carry half dozen Asscmbl,
districts in the State. This election Of Seward
accomplished by such men rs have taken the lead
in the affair, places the American party upon .
foundation more solid, and viii make them, from
this day forth, more formidable than any other
event that could possibly happen"
And such must be the effect Of this re-elec-
ton Of Mr.. Seward, consummated, as It was,
through coalition with the Forney and Pierce
Democracy, and the purchase and sale Of bogus
Know othingsl From this time forth, the
american party" in New York, purged Of the
political hucksters who have bartered and sold
a seat in the Senate, as they would traffic in
hogs or cattle, corn or potatoes, win be ma
tional in its character, and patriotic in its pur-
poses, and will pursue the high ends Of its or
ganization, without further embarrassment In
its progress
eY- We publish to-day letter from an in
telligent Democrat Of the hard school, now at
Albany, gentleman of high position and un-
questionable veracity, confirming the views we
have presented touching the support of w. II.
Seward by the administration members Of the
Assembly. This letter was written the dag
before the election. "FVty NeW York Gus
tom-house officers on the ground attending to
the completion Of the arrangements"
So the influence of Forney and Pierce was
exerted to the utmost extent Of their power!
II turns out that about eight or nine Demo
Gratis did not vote on the ballotting; but if
their votes had been required on the second
ballot, they would have been given for Seward
We call this decidedly cool We shall here
after add the name Of Seward to the firm, and
call it Forney, Seward, and Pierce.
