result in the "Old Dominion" has great
ly encouraged our Democratic friends Ia
Kentucky. The Louisville ITmes, in
speaking of the electioneering tour of
CLARkE, the Democratic Guberuatorial
candidate, says:
Everywhere he drew large crowds to-
hear him, and after hearing him, num-
bers of both Wings and Democrats with
drew from the Know-Nothing lodges
Large numbers of old Wings will sup
port him against the mongrel 'dark-lan-
tern, candidate. A gentleman from
Da1iess informs US that i'll that country
Clarke will poll nearly half of the Wing
yete of the county, while nearly all the
Democrats are leaving the Know-Ne 9th
ing lodges and coming back to their old
party.

tlemen, who have watched Mr.: Clarke's
progress thus far, that he will carry the
State by twenty thousand majority"

in of Buddhism all ever the country.

town of Keokuk, Iowa, belonging to Ex-
Governor Seymour, of New York, were

the letter of the Emperor Of Austria to
the Emperor of the French, congratuia-
ting him on his escape from assassina-
ton, he refers to the attempt on his own
life, and adds that ga close alliance be-
tween France and Austria can alone put
