THE FOREIGN VOTE IN THE ELECTION.

That Of philosophy which consoles itself in calamity
by specializing the Of miscarriage has been
srkngy illustrated by the know-nolhng journals since
the election in this State. Marvellous Ia the ingenuity
which they display in suggesting explanations Of their de-
feat aud wonderful the skin with which they avoid any
alusion to its obvions cause
We not malignant to grudge consolation 10 a
fallen foe although may smile at the silly suggestions
oil his philosophy When be pcrvers the truth 1t becomes
grayer matter, and mus: then disturb his selfcon-

siderable proportion Of the foreign against
the democratic candidates correspondent Of the Ba
Sun says examination Of the polls In Alexandria

majority and which has unfequeny been denominated
the stronghold Of whggery has given large majority for
the democratic ticket Norwich, Connecticut last
April gave the know nohng 300 majority, but has just roll
up good majority for the democratic ticket Buffalo has
given emphatic evidence Of its change of opinion by the cleo
ton of democratic justice OF its superior court by
$500 majority. Thus has the reaction commenced and
these taken in connexon with the recent triumph in Vir

old democratic victories. All democrats have to do then
adhere those principles which have guided the
democracy victory and they win eventually triumph
their opponents Nothing but the unlaterng united action
of the democracy necessary to insure for it brilliant
in the coming presidential contest"
The same paper adds
Know nothingsm has met with signal and oyerwhelm-
ing defeat Buffalo Last fall the of Seymour, Clark,
and Bronson combined only exceeded that of Ulman by
majority Of $685. On Tuesday, the election for judge the
