General elections were held last week
In the States of Massachusetts, New
York New Jersey, Mary loud, Louisiana,
and Wisconsin. Iu nearly or quite all
Of the.c states, the American party has
achieved brilliant-and in soihe an un-
expectcd-triumph. Those who have re-
garied Know.Nothingism as defunct
will therefore have to revise their reck
oning. The result in Ohio, it is now
known, was attributable in great meas.
uro to the 4 nerican party, W hich, as a
party, sustained Chase, though $4,000
boilers, old line Wings, &C., went for
Trimblc. In no case, has the Repub-
lcan party triumphcd without beings
s,antialy incorporated with the Amer
lean party-thc latter being really tho
backbone and sinew of the whole. This
significant fact deserves to be consi der
ed, by those who follow the lead Of the
Free Press, tratchman, and National
Era.
Two important conclusions may be
drawn from the results in the late elec-
tions-aside from what is suggested by
tho above facts First, the American
party is destined to have leading part
in the approaching Presidential election.
No other party has any reasonable hope
of defeating the Pierce Democracy
whose candidate will probably be Pierce
or Wise. Should the American party
nominate the right men, we think its
chance Of success decidedly the best.
Secondly, on the Liquor qucs'ion-so
confidently relied on by the Pierce Dem
ocracy OF Massachusetts, and Now \ ork
a. means of success it has been fully
demonstrated that the people have now
worry little feeling, except 10 sustain Tire
pyohiJuory SyStcm, which has been e.
fectually endorsed by their recent votes.
The days Of Rumocracy are numbered
and the time will come wien even the
dcmagogues and dignitaries of Addison
County, and Of Vermont generally and
when 'artful dodgers " on that question,
also, will cease to make capital out of
The Maine Law, by appealing TO the APP
petite Cor rum. This is the re-acti0H'
we have been looking for, aud We hail its
appearance
Give us fair, open party org1niza-
ton, based on the right issues-those
chiefly adopted by the Republicans "
of this State last year, and by the " A
mericans thi, year, and We may again
have an ineligible aud practicable
state of politics, aud q definite purpose
aud position as to party action.

The New York Election.

New York politics are proverbially
hard to lie compel lded. The following,
from the Albany Regi,ter(K. n J. may
throw some light Gu the mysteries Of the
late election in that state:
AFTER FL EcrIoN The n. Y. COur-
ie, has been quite as effective on oppo
nent Of the Americans as any other
journal-sometimes protesting friend
ship, aud sometimes finding fault. but in
reality always opposed to us whenever
commands were laid upon it by its mas
tiers who have an old claim upon its very
breath. The Courier, in reviewing the
ground, finds consolation in the fact that
with the success of the Americans the
repeal IF the Missouri Compromise has
been condemned We do not object
that the Courier should rejoice, but we
have right to question its sincerity from
the fact that it did its utmost to prevent
the consummation over which it pre-
tends now to rel licc.
