The message of Gov Gardner, of Mas
sachusetts, is almost entirely devoted to
Know -Nothngism. He would even abol-
ish from popular use every foreign language
-nationalize before we naturalize-edu-
cate thoroughly before doing either-stop
at once the importation of political dema-
gogues-publish all documents in the Eng
lish language-purify the ballot box-in
word, have everything truly American, and
nothing but American. To carry out some
of these principles, a motion has already
been made in the House amending the
Constitution so as to exclude from the cleo
tive franchise all persons who cannot write
and read the English language.

In the late melancholy casualty, which has bereft
the family, friends and companions of the deceased
warned Of the uncertainty Of liie and that all
classes alike subject TO the visits Of the dread mes
senger At O'Clock +. NJ. of Friday, our young
friend full Of life youth, and bu0yaIt with hope
hour after, with short summons he pershcs by the
way side--his voyage of life ended.
IL was our happy fortune 10 have known the youth
fu dead, whose loss we thus untimely deplore He
u favorte OF all with whom he was associated en-
joying the confidence and respect of his companions
On the late Northern Pacific Rail Road Survey he
rendered very valuable and Efficient service, and
though at first unused to his labors by devotion and
attention to his duties every obstacle was surmOunt
ed, and he won for himself the commendation of his
chief the afectionate admiration and regard Of his
associates. His connection with that expedition illus
trates his character through life manly, though
young, he would succeed ut all he undertook, and
justly deserved the appreciation he received His la
bors on the survey terminated and he transpOsed
to the position Of Executive clerk and private secret
ary OF his knsman Gov. Stevens. In this Office he
had much difficult labor to accomplish but he was
equal to every exigency andpromptly and faithfully
discharged each duty We uhderstand that the very
expedition returning from which, he met his unhappy
fate, was but proof Of his business capacity mark
of confidence Of those for whom he labored
To his family hereto the reside circle in his own
Massachusetts, where his parents sisters and brothers
dwell, and to the numerous friends, companions and
associates TO whom he endeared himself wherever his
short life has been spent, the vacuum caused by his
absence cannot be filled.
But while we mourn his cutting off thus early, the
flower being nipped, just blooming into manhood,
there is much to console us-our friend had but few
faults Of head heart. George Stevens was really
good, and while we mourn his end much hope is de-
rived from the assurance, that providence who wled
the event for some wise purpose often selects victims
from the young, the pure, the good to earlier enjoy
that bliss beyond the gave In this bereavement
then let us bear ossswith hope and resignation.
80 that when our summons comes to Join the innum-
cradle caravann be- like our amented brother and
friend, a. ready to answer.
To the heart-stricken parents and relatives Of the
beloved dead, may we, without obtrusion upon the
privacy of family love, add tears Of coincidence
and sympathy.

ELECTION IN WILMINGTON.

The election in Wilmington on Thursday last for
Commissioners, resulted in the success, by small
majority, of the Know-Notbings. The following is
the vote: Anti-Know-No things-Wa Wallace 458, Bel
lamy 461, Dawson 459, Miller 454 Hewey 453, La
mont 400, Taylor 453. Know Nothngs-Parsley
466, Northop All, Gardner 467, Davis 4S5, Sutton
All, Hart 467, Russell All.
This shows gain of eighty votes for the anti
Know Nothings since August last. The journal at
tributes the of the Know Nothngs to the
registration law. But for that law says the Jour-
nal, {" there would inevitably have been majority
of full fifty votes for the AntKnow Nothing ticket.
Old citizens of town, informed, came down
to the polls, but could not vote from not being re-
gistered, others, workingnen, although registered
and taxpayers were not prepared in the present
stringent times to fork their taxes immediately
and therefore could not get pass OF the votes lost
from want of registration three-fourths were
side and would have voted ticket. The same
was the case in regard to the taxes Many smaller
property holders, pushed up for money. dis
franchised because they did not have the money at
hand and did not to go around borrowing-t
and so stayed at home.'
The whole vote polled 927.
