raj issues did not enter into this election, and
that if any advantage was gained at the
polls, it was by holding the meetings between
six and eight o'clock in the morning. The
old fogy wings were oil asleep and Young
America had everything its own way. In
consequence Of this fact the elections went in
favor of o partial fusion with the American
party-decidedly the party for young men,
as far as nominations go-and it is probable
that the wings and Know Nothings will nomi-
nate pretty nearly the same ticket; so that
the next election in the city will be struggle
between Tammany and the Know Nothings
Go in, gentlemen Get ready for good fight.
The spoils are worth trying for!

there still appears to be an insane desire on
the part Of the bulls to keep up present prices.

WHAT IS TO BE GAINED BY IT 1.-THE Western
papers, tired Of endeavOring to settle the i'm
portant question, Who began t?' in rela-
ton to the Louisville riots, have commenced
pitching into each other personally. Accord
ing to the Louisville Journal, the editor of the
st. Louis Democrat is Colonel Dentons "cur, his
mastiff, his hound, his spaniel, his bulldog, his
wolf, his tiger, his hog, his ass, his hycna, fond
ling, whining, growing, barking biting
scratching, grunting, bowling, kicking and
digging up dead bodies, according to the sue
cessive orders Of his relentless master. lie is a
whole menagcrie oflittlc and great beasts, and
Col. Benton is the Van Amburgh."
The canine editor talks back, and calls the
Journal man, "this less than man and more than
monster" and favors him with other choice ex-
prcssions Again, he is called vile, de-
bauchcd and brutal poltroon,n "a CORY but
cher" "a miserable craven" "a monster "a
deprayed creature" and he Is comforted with
the assurance that the worst torments Of hell
are too good for him. We commend these

He is a candidate rs member from Mississippi

The Junta, he might have ambitioned TO be one
day Governor of the State of Cuba or ut least
to represent that gem Of the Antilles in The
Senate of the United States. But all his hopes
