OF The truth is, as an organization the
Wing Know Nothing opposition is utterly
devoid Of principle, and will take any tack
and do anything that it thinks will beat the
Democratic parity Gin. Eng.
And what may be said of the Democratic
Know Nothing opposition! Democrats a:
well as Wings, and probably more numerous
ly in some parts of the country, are Know
Nothings, and we have recorded the defeat o.
many Wing candidate by the Know Moth
ings. That more Democrats than Whig'
have been defeated by the Know Nothings
is doubtless owing to the fact, that the Know
Nothing movement is said in one of its fea
lures to be strong against dirty demagogue
and party corruption.

Railroad Catastropnc-Two Mcu
X Piled.

A fearful catastrophe occurred on the
Portland, Saco and Portsmouth Railroad, on
the morning of the 10Th, resulting in the
death OF Elbridge g. Leavits, the road-mas-
ter, and Franklin Rogers, fireman We
find an account of the calamity in the Boston
Transcript, from which We copy the follow
ing: TrFtV AL 81
"The morning train from Portland left
that city with four passenger cars, two en-
gines, and snow pillow. When about four
miles out-owing it is thought, TO the break
of wheel or an axle attached 10 the snow
plow-the plow was upset and thrown over
the west side Of the track. This immense
machine, weighing six tuns, made complete
summerset, and was left on the side of the
road, facing Portland. The forward locomo-
tive was thrown of the track, and. after run.
ming about hundred feet, 1t was overturned,
and landed upon an enbankment about six
feet above aud fifty feet east of the track,
where it WIS literally broken into fragments.
1t was complete wreck. The engine near
est the passe niger cars was thrown from the
track, but remained upright, few feet only
out of place. The baggage cars and the for
ward two passenger cars were displaced
from the track The forward wheels of the
third car, owing to the spreading Of the track,
were run into culvert, while the last car
only remained unframed. There were
about one hundred and fifty passe ngers. who
as might be supposed. were greatly alarmed
1t was ascertained that two of the hands on
the forward engine were missing, and the
engineer was found to be somewhat bruised
A tter slight search the bodies Of the two
unfortunate men were found. In one life
was extinct, and the other survived about
twenty minutes. Mr.. Leavitt is represented
to have been person highly esteemed. He
had been in the Company's employment
some ten years, and was diligent and faith
full officer. Mr.. Rogers was an engineer
employed about the staion.hoUse. He wa.
by trade machinst, and young man of ex
cellent character. Both the persons killed
were married, and leave families.

THE House OF Representatives.

From the legislative proceedings, the
House appears hard at work. Much more is
being accomplished than could possibly have
been expected mid all the excitement relo-
tive to the election of Senator, &c. We
are glad to witness this disposition on the
part of the Republican body Of the Legisla-
ture to loork. They seem determined to
prove that the confidence Of the people has
been well placed in sending Republicans in
stead of Old Liners to take charge Of the
interests of the State. Thus far they have
done more preliminary work than any other
House of the Legislature oflate years, ever &C.
compIished in the same time. Let them re-
member that the peoples we'll astbeir enemies
are closely watching their course. Let them
preserve that unity in all their actions, with
which they have SO happily commenced, and
by which they can alone be successful. We
trust they will not expose themselves to the
the scorn of their enemies, and to the rebuke
Of their constituents, by chickering's and d.
visions among themselves. Let them meet
and part in that compromising spirit, which
must be successful in preserving unity of ac-
ton, and controverting the schemes of the
opposition. Nothing would SO gladden. the
Old Line Machine Democrats, as 10 witness
divisions among the Republicans. Nothing
could so disgust the people as to see those
men they have chosen to represent u refor.
matory movement, guilty of the same guar.
reling over the "loaves and fishes" as have
SO repeatedly disgraced thee ldLine Democra-
cy. But we fear nothing of this kind. We
believe the disposition is predominant among
the Republicans to fill the Offices in their
gift with the best men in their ranks, irrespec.
tive of old party predilections-and by hard
work for the best interests of the State and
their fellow citizens, to secure the approval
of their constituency.
