stands as follows: Americans, 179; Republic
cans, II; Democrats 80; Wings, Is; "Liber-
ais" 8. The Senate is largely American
The majority in the State against the Demo
cratic, Administration, Liquor candidate, ex-
ceeds sirtu-seuen thousand. The American
party has proved its nationality even in Mas
sachusetts, where the least was expected of it
when it became disconnected from Free Soil |
ism.
But even if by some unexpected event, the
Americans should triumph in New York and
Massachusetts,, the anti-American party had
pointed to one State, where its success was
| impossible This State was Southern, a
slave-holding State-and the anti-Americans
had been for months attempting to prove to its
people that the American party was an A6oti-
ton party. 1t was State in which there are
probably double the number of Catholics of
any other State in the Union in proportion to
its population-the very centre and focus Of
Catholicism in the United States-and the
anti-American party felt secure ofevery Catho-
lie vote in the State Moreover this State,
Maryland, had given five Thousand majority
| for Pierce Still further--the administration
had exhibited warmer interest i'll the result
in this State than in any other ir which an
election was to be held this month. Its bitter
enemy, the American party, were directly and
alone opposed to the Administration party
) The whole government patronage in the State
was thrown against the Americans. More
than this, the Administration lent the aid of
naoney to bride American voters. 1t has been
proved and beyond the shadow of doubt and
actually so as to shame all attempt at denial,
that the administration levied five dollars on
each sub-office-holder in Washington to help
it's friends in Maryland! And how has anti
Amercanism, Pierce patent Democracy, sue
ceeded with all these odds in Maryland? Why
it has been totally routed, overwhelmed, most
: shockingly beaten! The whole American
State ticket has been elected by large MAORI
ties; nearly every county in the State went for
the Americans, and they elected five out of six
Congressman, and the sixth was an old line

founded by the result in Maryland" 1t was
COMPOUNDED that its own rascality on an ex-
tended scale, had been so signally rebuked-
COMPOUNDED that americans had obstinately
refused to sell their votes for administrator
money.
In Wisconsin, when we write, the result is
yet doubtful-yet Wisconsin gave 1000 ma
jority for Pierce!
In Mississippi, the anti-Americans claim
1000 majority, yet Pierce received in this
State majority Of $500!
In Louisiana, it is reported the anti-Ameri-
: cans have carried the State by nearly 2,00C
majority. Ifthis be So it is only few hun
dreds more than Pierce obtained.

lean party has secured brilliant triumphs
