POPULAR DISTURBANCES AT ELEcTIoNs.
One of the most deplorable evidences of pop
ular ignorance and prejudice, is the recent
election riots IN the Western cities.-It is
something new connected with popular gov
ernment, to find electors, after depositing their
votes, rushing out with arms in their hands
and trailing canon through the streets. to be
used In deadly conflict against each other
It was formerly our boast. under republican,
institutions, that all our revolutions were
peaceful ones, fought through the ballot-box.i }
and decided by the popular majority. But
if such scenes are witnessed in Louisville, as
were recently enacted at Cincinnati, are to be
the accompapiments of popular election, it
viii not be long before bayonets win take the
place of ballots, and every election be a bloody
revolution, and it is in Mexico and Central
America.-We are not yet prepared to see
the experiment of popular government defeat
ed by popular Ignorance; therefore, we hope
that some effort will be made by the intelli-
gence of the country to enlighten the popular
mind so far that seetarian and political fanat-
icism will lose its power to do mischief, and
be made unable to destroy, by civil commo-
ton, n country which heaven seems to have
rained its choicest blessings upon, if they
were only used properly .-P philadelphia Led
ger.
For this new manufacture of popular SOW
ercignty we are indebted 10 the advent and
prevalence of Know-Nothingism. Where
ever that proscriptive ism reared its pestilent
head the worst passions of the multitude have
been aroused and influenced; race has been
set against race, and religion against religion;
the native have been taught to hate, despise
and condemn men of foreign birth. and for
eigners have been exasperated to the highest
