THE DEMOCRATIC TRIUMPH IN ST. LOUIS The St. Louis Democrat of the 6tb contains the following:
 In the county election for the offices of As- sessor and Assistant Circuit Attorney, which the know nothings so stoutly contested, we have been victorious by an overwhelming majority. In the city alone our candidates are more than twelve hundred ahead, and there is no doubt but that the county will add largely to the ma Jorlty. We say, therefore, we'll done for the democracy of St. Louis! They have re-echoed nobly the cheers of Tennessee and North Caro- lima. They have shown that the dominion of the dark-antern faction is ended in St. Louis.

Refuting a Falsehood by the
 Raror6l

The declaration of the New Orleans Bee, one of the organs of the know nothings, that ''the democrats in the free States have elected none but abolitionists and free-soers to the Congress of the United States" (so forcibly answered by the Louisiana Courier in the article we yester- day copied from that paper) is one of those astounding assumptions upon which the south- ern enemies of the only party that has ever steadily stood by the rights of the States base their appeals to the assumed credulity of the people of that part of the Union. Regarded in a merely party point of view, such wanton who fabrcate them. Otherwise they show a recklessness in the perversion of truth emil nently discreditable to the newspaper press.- This scandalous misstatement, which is too em- phatic not to have been deliberate, has suggest ed to us the propriety of making an investiga- ton into the facts not alone to disprove an asser tion which carries its own contradiction upon its face, but to present to the people of the South such record of the abolitionlsm of northern know nottingham as cannot be successfully as sailed or denied. The following table which has been very carefully made up tells the whole story in language that cannot be misunderstood It will be seen from this how utterly and con- pletely aboltionism has absorbed the know nothing party in the free States, and howfath- fully the latter has worked for and adopted the opinions of the aboitionists. We have called the know nothings elected " free soilers," but there is scarcely an instance in which the word " abolitior.ist" might not be more ftly applied: Northern Demo-
