OF KNOW NOTuINf.gSN,

STRENGTH OF KNOW NOTHINGISM
1t has generally been claimed by the Know
Nothings, that the victory gained over the De-
mocracy in this State, last October, was their
victory. BY it they were greatly encouraged,
and many of them have felt disposed to nomi-
nate State ticket of their own, to be supported
by them at the next State election.
We have never believed that the last fall cleo
ton was their work. On the contrary, we have
ever maintained that, if we had gone to the peo-
pile in all parts Of the State, upon the simple
principle of opposition to Slavery extension,
the victory would have been complete The
result of the late election in Cincinnati confirms
us in this opinion.
1t is true, that last fall in Hamilton county
there was. no Peoples Convention called to
nominate a county ticket and candidates for
Congress. But the Know Nothings adopted
the candidates of the Peoples Convention for
State officers, and supported for Congress men
known for their opposition to the Nebraska
fraud. By doing this they secured the co-ope
ration of the Anti-Nebraska men, and the re-
suit was a decisive victory. At the late city
election they set up for themselves. They had
no regard to the Anti-N Nebraska voters, but set
up purely Know Nothing ticket, ticket
which, in character, talent, and principles, fair
ly represented the organization. Their candi-
u"eC ioi mayor was TIC cultOf Ol the SlnclnD6U
1fmes-a man who, both as an individual and
an editor, is a doughface. AS to the other
names On the ticket, we will simply say that
they harmonized well with the leading csndi-
date. What has been the result? In the city,
where the majority last fall was some $500, the
Know Nothings are beaten over 900! Many
Anti-Slavery men did not vote, bat most of them
outside of the Order voted the Democratic tick
ct, the candidate on which for Mayor is known
to be openly and avowedly opposed to the Ne
braska scheme.
The results in Dayton, Hamilton, and other
parts of the State, are similar. The evidence
is perfectly plain, that if at the next State cleo
ton, the course of the Know Nothings shall be
such as to compel all those who are opposed to
their principles and mode of proceedings, TO
combine and form a ticket, they 1.-THE Know
Nothings) will be beaten by majority of thou
sands. Whether or not they will be compelled
In sefdefence, and in defence of their principles,
to take this course, is yet to be seen. Perhaps
the Know Nothings will profit by their expert
ence in the late elections.
The Know Nothings are not likely to increase
much IN this State from this onward. Men
will not be induced to join them, either by the
number OF votes they have received, or the
manner IN which they conducted themselves on
and after the election. We hope those profss-

THE lsENV LEGISLATURE.

The new Legislature may be safely set down
as thoroughly committed to the policy of Liquor
Prohibition by stringent legislation. The Liquor
Law now on our statute books will remain in
tact, unless it be improved by more severe pen.
alties. The members elect are two thirds oil
them. we are confident, Maine Law men; the
Wing members almost universally are and the
Know Nothing members are, generally. OF
the Democrats, perhaps We may safely reckon
on one fourth as upright Temperance men.
We have therefore no need of anxiety about the
Liquor Law.
We must speak with less confidence of the
Anti Slavery character of the new Legislature.
We have no means of judging the amount or
kind of Anti-Slavery sentiment in the new
body; but ~e know that a very large majority
of the members are strongly Anti-N Nebraska
aud many are more Anti-Slavery in their opin.
ions and feelings. The Senate is decidedly
Anti Slavery.

THE ELECTION

We must refer our readers to the returns in
our columns, for the results of the election.
The State has spoken decidedly for Temper.
ance and Anti-Savery. The Liquor Law is
safe, and Touceyism is rebuked. But the State
might have been carried by tremendous major.
tiles against the Administration, if the Know
Nothing party had acted generously and fairly.
They insisted upon the election of their candi
dates-they showed in many places no DISPOSE
ton to fuse with Wings and Free-Soilers, and
were beaten or triumphed by small majorilies.
Ia this Congressional district, the Wings, though
reluctantly, took up the Know Nothing candi.
date-the Wings also took up their Senatorial
candidate-yet the Know Nothinxs utterly re-
fused to reciprocate the courtesy by taking up
the Wing and Fusion ticket for Representa-
tives, (E. d. Tiffany and John n. Niles, J
though the first named is Know Nothing.
They took the Know Nothing, and in place OF
Mr.. Niles took up Mr.. Mason Smith The in.
dignation of many of our best citizens was
such, that they were determined to defeat Mr..
Smith, and he was defeated. In some places
the Know Nothings put up halfand-ha unre,
liable men, or refused to show any generosity
to Wings or Free Democrats and thus the
enemy escaped with a milder punishment by
far than they deserved.
