TO denouncing the now-Nothings. suppose

though took particular pains to inquire every

man that was for Talbot and was assured by
men who ought to know, that Fox would beat
him 200 In that county. Almost every man !
met had been introduced TO Sam" and those few
I saw that had not been introduced to him were
for Fox before Talbot. There are about eight
hundred Know othings in that county, and, as
there arc only about eleven hundred voters in the
county, 1t is thought that by August they will all
belong to the order.
In Mercer, Sam" is said to muster nine hun
bred strong. An old and popular citizen, who has
heretofore acted with the Democratic party, It 10
reported, has been nominated as the American
candidate for the Legislature.

SAM AMONG THx DEMOCRATS or BATH.--Bath
county, in the Ninth Congressional District, has
always been one of the most violent Democratic
counties in the State. It ID the home Of John O.
Mason, for some years member Of Congress, and
the political belief of the people is considerably In
duenced by that gentleman. At the election for
county officers last Saturday, the Know-Nothings
completely triumphed. Bath county 10 the home
Of Mr.. J. N. Nesbitt, nominee Of the Democratic
party for the Office of President Of the Board of
Internal improvements The affection of the
people for Sam" and his principles, must be very
consoling to the anti-American Nesbitt.

HEADQUARTERS, May 4.
That ubiquitous parsonage "Sam" made his APP
pearance at district election Saturday, and after
mature elaboration awarded victory to worthy
champions of Americanism. Since the election,
the holy horror Of old fogies and their wild con-
sternation may be well imagined. Like results
are reported from all parts Of our county.
But the end Is not yet, for the first Monday In
August will ring aloud the death-knell Of Democ-
racy, falsely 90 styled.

nous expression on the part ofthe friends of Amer

the document:
The fret clause Is kind Of address TO his family

belonging to the Empress, his wife, the Emperor
expresses wish that her Majesty shall retain for
her life the use Of her apartments in the different
palaces, and the clause concludes follows: "Tbe
legacy which bcdueath to my children is TO love
and honor their mother; to do everything to pro-
mote her tranquility; to anticipate all her wishes,
and to endeavor to render her old age happy by
take anything of Importance without first asking
her advice and demanding her maternal benedic-
ton"
In another clause the testator bequeathes pen
sions of $4,000 silver roubles year, 1.-THE silver
rouble IL something over IT,, In addition TO the
pensions they already enjoy, to Acknowledgement
d'Adlerberg and his daughter, julie Baronow, the
latter Of whom has brought up three Of his 1.-THE
testator's) daughters, and both OF whom he calls

Emperor expresses his thanks 10 number Of other
persons whom he names a. being his devoted
friends and servants among them he mentions
Prince Paskiewitch, Generals 0rlof, Tchenichef,

them all in the warmest manner for the services
they have rendered TO him and 10 the State. In
clause, which 10 particularly addressed TO the
Emperor Alexander, the win says:
~ am convinced that my son, the Emperor
Alexander, win always remain tender and af-
fectionate son. as he has always been TO his parents
and this duty will become still more sacred for
him when his mother Is alone. In his relations
with his brothers, my son must unite the indul-
gcnce called for by their youth with the necessary
firmness Of father Of family. He must never
suffer any family quarrels which may be prejudical
10 the service, or even TO the State and should
such circumstances unhsppily arise, he must re-
member that he is Emperor, and that all other
members Of the family are his subjects.'
The viii concludes by clause In which the En-
peror begs all those whom he may have uninten-
tionally offended to forgive him, he forgves all
Who may have offeded him. He expresses his re-
grct that he has not been able TO accomplish all the
good that he could have wished, and begs all his
friends to offer up their prayers for the repose Of
his soul.
