SAM IN AFFLIC TON.

The recent Suffice at Albany calls forth great
variety of demonstrations of sorrow and agony
on the part of Sans " disciples. Generally,
they evnce more distress than penitence-sOme
are rabd and foamiDg, while in Others Grief
appears to have nearly paralyzed the power OF
utterance. The following may be taken as fair
specimeps of these diverse exhibitions OF malice
and desperation:

w II SEWARD RT-ELEcTEp.-The result Of the
legislative caucus at Albany last week satisfied US
that the game was up with the KnowNothings,
and that Stewards reelection was secured. The
Know Nothpgs have been outwitted, outmaneu-
vered and outvored. They may complain of the
treschery of the Silver Grsy-Whgs-of traitors In
their ow csmp-but neither complaints nor explains
tons will help them now. The work is done. Seward
il reelected and his triumph will doubtless satisfy
Mr. Goodwin that bis vote in the Senate was over e
estimated in its supposed value. The moral effect OF
this victory OF Seward will test the sodity OF the
Know. Noihings in this State, in the North, snd par
ticuary in the South national political organi
cation. II will be a godsend 10 the ADMINISTRATOR,
and a windfan to Henry A. Wise.
Had the Know-Nothings boosted less, they might
have accomplished more. AT least, little less pre-
tension TO strength would have rendered their reai
weakness in the Assembly less Illuminating. lney
have made a sorry lob Of it. They have realized the
old proverb Of the mountain in labor delivered OF a
mouse. They have been driven from Sevastopo anu
have lost a campaign. We are not surprised d, 'ne
result Quite likely, had Seward required nan
dozen votes more TO reflect him, they might nave
been drummed up. The Seward men worked among
the members; the Know-Nothngs appear to have
confined themselves to outside agitation. IL was no
CO. Between old campaigners and raw recruits, tne
result of feldfght is invariably the same upon any
thing like an equality of materials:
xide-spread agitation among the hnow- otaluSs,
especially in the South will follow THIS eIeclioh VI
S.ward: and il this new American party do not looK
well 10 their defenses, their camp will be INVADED,
their forces routed and their prestige OF invncioe
strength be destroyed. Whist do they next propose
