ELECTIoNs.-Election have just been held
in several southern states. The results have
not yet been fully reported and are of but
little interest. The contest lies between the
Democrats and the Know Nothings. 1t is
contest to show which party is most true
and subservient to the slave power. 1t is a
piece of folly for any party to contend with
the Democratic party on that point. They
have long been the steady reliance of the
south, and it is absurd to expect such shrewd
politicians to trust or wish for better friends.
In Kentucky, however, it is said the Know
Nothings have partially succeeded in carry
ing the state it is believed they have the
governor and majority of both branches of
the Legislature and of the members of con-
gress. In Tennessee and North Carolina the
result is just the reverse of this.

&g-The most serious election riots occur
red at the recent election in Louisville that
have ever before occurred in the United
States. We have not received the details,
except by Telegraph, which are meager and
imperfect; but it seems that the fears of the
Irish and Germans had been excited by dem
agogues against the Know Nothings to such
pitch that they armed themselves in large
numbers, and stationing themselves in diff
ferent parts Of the city, commenced firing
indiscfiminately upon the Americans in the
streets, several of whom were killed and
wounded. This soon raised furious excite
ment, and tumultuous mob collected and
commenced the work Of retribution. Some
Of the murdererS were caught and summary
vengeance executed upon them on the spot,
others escaped, and doubtless some innocent
persons were injured and perhaps killed, 1t
is said that about 20 persons altogether were
killed, many wounded, and twelve building:
burned. Violent demonstrations against the
Times and Courier offices were proposed, but
the timely efforts of Prentice of the Journal,
and other influential gentlemen, served to
allay the excitement and disperse the mob.

THE LARGEST SLICE TO THE SoUTH-The
administration boasts of knowing "no

to its instincts, it knows South when dis

ident, 30 offices were given to the Slave
States and 20 to the Free. Ohio and Indiana
get nothing, while Maryland 4" chivalry" gets

one !-[Cleveland Leader.

The Blade says that one of the democratic
speakers in Toledo last Saturday maintained
that Atchison, Stringfellow, and the border
Missouri ruffians in Kansas are Know Moth
ings, and use the lodges to effect their pur-
poses. This has been the palliating excuse
which the northern locofoco papers have all
along put in for the conduct Of those scoun-
drels. But now that Pierce has come out to
their aid by removing Reeder, what will the
wise owls say next? Is Pierce Know
Nothing? He seems to be.

ANNEXATION OF Six COUNTIES OF Mtssor-
ri 10 KANSAS. Kansas embraces within its
limits an area Of 1913 square miles, re-.
gion more than three times as great as Ohio
and fourteen times as large as ssachusetts.
1t is susceptible of division into ten States,
with the same number of square miles to
each now embraced within the limits Of
Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Ver-
mont, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jer-
sey Delaware, Maryland and South Caroli-
ma, and susceptible of sustaining popua-
ton more than twice as dense. With this
state of facts, it is proposed to annex six
counties of Missouri to Kansas, with an ag-
gsrgate population of about 70 1000, among
which are numbered some 5000 slaves.
This would add a region one hundred miles
in length from north to south, and avera
ging thirty miles in width, giving us addi-
tional Territory considerably greater than
the State of Delaware.
We hope that our friends of the Press will
give this subject their immediate considera-
tion. We have poSitiuc information that
the project was favorably entertained by the
Missouri Legislature last Winter. The same
body are to convene in November, and will
no doubt consummate the fraud, on the soli
citation of the quasi Legislature of Kansas,
now assuming to legislate for the people OF
this Territory.--Kansas Her. OF Freedom,
