Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1853-1862, 1856-10-25

keT When dispatches reached US, during the re.
cent returns from Pennsylvania, giving intelligence
that the black republicans had carried the State,
the welkin rang with the lusty shouts of Southern
know.nothings. To relieve the deep disgrace of
their treachery to their own section, they claimed
it as Fillmore Victory. The Columbia Mirror, in
the midst Of its rejoicngs. issued flaming extra,
from which we extract the following:
FILLMORE. AND DONELsONI HURRAHI
ELECTION RETURNS.
CINCINNATI, Oct. 15.-Ohio has gone for the
REPUBLICANS by from 80 to 10000.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 15.-Later returns, unoff.
cially, show the REPUBLICANS 1000 ahead
II counties to hear from will increase it to 5000.
Thus it is that know nothings in the South sent
greeting TO the abolitionists at the North-ahur.
rah hurrshl Ohio and Pennsylvania have gone
for the black republicans I"
The same wild rejoicing that went out from
Nashville and was echoed and re.echoed through
out the State of Tennessee, was but the refrain of
the song triumphal that was cheering the black
publican hosts in the Northern States. The Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher, Fred Douglass the niger,
Seward, Sumner, Hale, Gidngs and Greedy, were
splitting their throats with shouts over their sup
posed victory at the same hour that Bell, Brown
Brien, Hall and others were rejoicing 10 Tennes-
see. The following just at that time appeared in,
Greelys paper, the New York Tribune:
"LATER-The returns received last evening. es.
pecially from the Northern and Western counties,
are decidedly favorable to republican triumph
The Union msjorities in Allegheny, Lawrence,
Mercer, Crawford, Indiana, Wyoming, &C., are
very large, while the glorious Wilmot District is
up to the high water mark-about eight thousand
republican majority. Franklin county-at first re.
ported against us-is with US; and the general as
pect of all the latest returns is cheering. On all
the returns we have received up to this hour the
anti.Buchansn State ticket is ahead with o strong
probability of its election. Our latest dispatches
from Philadelphia, based upon more counties than
have been received here put the republican ticket
four thousand ahead, with the probability that the
few counties yet to come in will increase it. 1t
now seems nearly certain that the State has been
carried by our friends.
at seems to Us impossible that the ensuing strug-
gle should be fought under disadvantages at all
equal to those which have just been encountered.
Men of Pennsylvania the issue of freedom or
slavery in Kansas rests with you. There is no
longer hope of rescuipg her by the action of
Congress President pledged to her cause alone
can saveher. Let no moment, no effort, be wasted
until triumph is secured to frsedom and human
ity."
But it 80 happened that Sumner and Bell, Gree.
ly and Hall, Bsecter and Brown, Fred Douglass
and others were doomed to disappointment,
mournful for them as their rejoicngs had been
merry. Pennsylvania had gone thoroughly for the
democrats
What are to be thought of men who are found
in such company2 What is to be thought of a
party in the South thst trumphs over such sup
posed result Let Tennesseesns who value their
own positions in the future BEWARE how they
commit themselves by their votes in the ensuing
election to the sinking fortunes of such party.
