The Elections, etc.
NEW YORK.

by plurality vote. Headly, the Know Norh- ing candidate is elected Secy. of State Headly is an abolitionist and was elected upon platform hostile to tue admission of Kansas as slave State,
 Of this election the Louisville Courier, a quondam Know Nothing paper, says:
 "The resolutions of the Binghamton Con- vention were thoroughly anti-slavery, and the contest in the Empire State has been upon that platform. Indeed, the objections of the New York Know Nothings to certain demo- cratic candidates in that State were that they were not sound fiee-soilers. "Sam," in fact, is thoroughly abolitonzed at the north, and if in some States he refuses to fuse with the re- publicans, it Is because his share of the spells will not be allowed on such gormandizing scale as he generally demands
 Can southern Know Nothings boast over this victory?
 MASSACHUSETTS,
 Has given Gardner, the Know Nothing candi. date, a plurality of fifteen thousand votes. which, of course, elects him Governor This vote is a falling off of thousands, whil, the democratic vote increased more than twenty thousand.
 Of this Know Nothing victory the Louisville Courier, whig paper, and formerly Know Nothing paper, says
 We heard not word of exutation yester- day on the part of our Know Nothing friends over the result of the recent Massachusetts an'l New York elections. The case is dead aSahst them. In the one State the triumph is secured by Gardner, who was the leading sece- der from the Philadelphia conventions; who re- pudlates, as does his party, the action of that body; who IS intensely and thoroughly anti slavery, and who, upon no condition, would un!te with the southern members of the order ill any national contest"
 MARYLAND.
 In the congressional election, the Know No- things have elected jour members. Their ma jortiy in the State is only four thousand, and not eight or ten thousand as at first reported Congressmen elected as follows: In the % dist., Recand, K. N. 30 dist, Harris, K. N.; 4tl dist, Davis, K. N.; 5h dist, Kaufman, K. N.; 6h dist, Bowie, aui-K. N. whig. In the following we have the result in the 1st dist. It is different from what was here repor ted:
 "Instead of the Know Nothing candidate being chosen, 1t appears that James A. Stewart, union democrat Is elected to congress in the hrSt district of Maryland, by majority of about 3,OOO. The result was given in the Ball. timore papers of Saturday morning, but the telegraph forgot to transmit the news In the same district, two years ago, Franklin, whig, was elected by seven hundred majority"
 So the Know Nothings have but little to crow over in Maryland at last.
 NEW JERSEY
 This State has done nohly It has beaten down the anti Nebraska, abolition order with in its limits. The democracy are triumphant and, what is still better, triumphant upon na- tona principles There was no pretermittne in New Jeraey by the democrats. In the face of the Know Nothings and aboltionists they boldly maintained the Nebraska act, and won the day.
 The Trenton True American thus speaks ol the result
 Know Nottingham, with all its illiberality and intolerance is completely routed In the words of the Newark Mercury, the Know NothlhgS have been caught in mill, and lit erally ground too pieces i'll this State
 The partial success which they gained in the eastern part of the State was obtained under the name of 'whg'
 Every where i'll this State where the opuosi. ton press made point of the Kansas niuui- ty,' and cried aloud for the restoration of the Missouri compromise act, etc., the success oi the democratic party has been most remarka be
 In this district, where the election was dis. tlnctly put upon this issue, where the Know Nothing nomlnatlng convention was divideG upon It, and put Tn nomination candidate O. that Strlpe m preference to a national man or "0 MtlOt sdUer," as he was sneeringly term ed by the negro-savels of his party, they suffer ed a most signal defeat.'
 The election for members of the legislatur has resulted as follows:--Senate, democrat l2, whigs 5 Know Nothings 3. House, 8 democrats, Is whigs, Know Nothings
