THE FOREIGN VOTE IN THE ELECTION.
That sort VI philosophy which consoles itself in ca.

has been strikinSy illustrated by the Know Nothing
Journals since the election in this State. Marvellous
ia the ingenuity which they display in suggesting
plantations Of their defeat, and wonderful the skill
with which they avoid any allusion TO its obvious
cause
We are not malignant as to grudge consolation to
fallen foe, althouge may smile at the silly sug
gestions Of his philosophy. When he perverts tho
truth it becomes graver matter, and we must then
disturb his sc.fconce however painful to our sensl-
blity.
Some Of the Know-Nohing papers attribute the
election of Wise to the foreign vote, although they
nre not ignorant Of the fact that his majority largely
exceeds the entire foreign vote Of the State 1t Is

"forcign vote was cast against the Democratic can

There is another fact which settles this dispute be.
