Philadelphia Municipal Election
--Anti-KnOW Nothing Victory

Glorious News.


Glorious News.
The greatest strong hold of Know Moth
ingism in the United States has been storm
ed and taken. Last year the Know Moth
ihgs carried the municipal election by ma
jority Of between eight and nine thousand
for Mayor, and now they are defeated by one
hundred and fifty. The change in Philadel-
phia is, therefore, quite as great as it was in
Cincinnati. The common council is repor-
ted Democratic. For the last year they
have had a terrible corrupt and profigate
city government, under the auspices of
Know Nothingism, in Philadelphia, and,
therefore, this spring many Wings united
with the Democrats to hurl the secret con-
spirators from power. They have succeeded,
and the effect of their triumph, like. ours in
Cincinnati, will be felt all over the Union.
1t is one of the hardest blows Know Moth
ingism has yet received. East and West,
North and Sonth the order is tumbling to
pieces, and those who are in it had better
leave before the whole structure "caves in"
