He showed them that Fillmore was in favor of foreigners voting in territories, from the fact that he gave his sanction to the Washington territorial bill. He showed that Fillmore loved the Pope, because, as child doth his father he had been long journey to see him, and as the fief-man doth his Lord, so had he probably bowed and worshiped at his shrine. He showed that Fillmore was in favor of any thing, from the fact that he received California into the sisterhood of States with her glomerated, heterogeneous mass of Catholics and Pagans, Jews and Christians, atheists or any other sect-from every country under the sun; yes, sir, and that. too, without requiring States. He did not denounce the constitution of California, but only showed us what Mir. Fill more did do and entrusted it with his present opposition to the Kansas N ebraska bill because it allowed all citizens of the territory to vote in the first election who had taken the oath of allegiance, etc. By this time the Know No- things were vanquished, and like Chantcleer they slunk away, though very orderly, only leaving three or four on the ground.
 The Know No.hings up this way never speak of Col. Burrow if they can avoid it, and they put on pitiful mouth and say that he bears do,on too hard, and with great reluctance they sometimes add that he is a fine speaker.
 MT. Hugh F. Thomson, the Know Noth- ing candidate for Congress in this district, made us speech a few days before Col. Burrows appointment. It was very respectable effort for Know Nothing on the Know Nothing subject. The Know Nothings cackled and crowed over it like pond full of frogs, and when Col. Burrow came they plunged into the water and have not since raised their heads above the surface, and doubt whether they ever will rise again, judging from the election returns herewith sent to you.

--*S~>2D>%>~- Sam Abandoned by his Friends.

Know Nottingham is not only dead in Ar kansas, but abandoned by its friends. Its or ganization is broken up and new one founded on its ruins The faithful, instead of being hereafter called together by the mystic word Sam" will be summoned to attend "Fillmore clubs"
 Know Nottingham is openly abandoned here. All the features which gave it distinctive ex- istence have been dropped, and "clubs" have taken the place of councils" The Gazette announced the basis upon which the Fillmore clubs" would be formed. First, the "test cf membership is to be "plajn and simple'--that is oaths, signs, grips or pass words are to be required. Secondly, " erery legal voter un'teF the constitution is to be admitted to membership.
 Thus is Know Nothingsim abandoned in Ar. kansas! The oaths are reagly to be aboished-- all the .fumnaery to be discarded The war upon Catholics and naturalized citizens is to cease--all legal voters to be recognized.
 Thus is "Sam" done for. "Fillmore clubs" usurp his fatal seat. The democracy are en- titled to credit for effecting this change in the tactics of their opponents. They whipped them into 1t.

LOOSing their Temner.

The Know Nothings since their defeat have lost their temper. In the Gazette's noticesof Gen. Hampstead it tries to be very abusive and sacastic. It does not pass Col. Burrow by either. In the worst of humors, disappointed, morti
 fled, ashamed it is very vindictive. Both Hampstead and Burrow can smile at its malice. They have been out among the people, and they have returned with an overwhelming ver- dict against the Gazette and it's party. Ought they not, in charity, to pardon loss of temper in the man whom they have convicted before an intelligent people? They have driven Know Nothingism from the culverts, and forced them to disown their former policy, and to organize upon anew basis and under new name. They have driven them from the "KnoU Nothing Councar into "Fshnore Club" They have accomplished their object, can they not laugh at the ill-temper of their enemies? We think

Judge SuttOn--knOW Nothing ElectOr.


 After Gov. Conways election by the unpre cedented majority he has received--after the almost unanimous indorsement given him by his fellow citizens throughout the State, and that too in the face of the bitterest persecution that ever pursued any man, after abuse and villifcation heaped upon him for. more than four years, unequalled in its intensity and vim dictiveness, we did think he would be suffered to serve out the next four years in peace and auietness. But we have been mistaken. A new villifer in the person of Judge Wm Il. Sutton, Know Nothing elector, has, since the election, appeared upon the stage. The last Gazette contains report of portion of his spcech--not of the political portion, but of that part sandering Gov. Conway which pleased the editor more than all else.
 | Judge Sutton is no ordinary man, and noth- ing but his Restitution of principle has prevent ed him from reaching high position in the politics of Arkansas He was, when we first heard of him, a whig- afterwards democrat then disorganizing democrat, opposed to the course of those southern democrats who, Tn 1 1850, was so true to the south. He is now Know Nothing He has been any thing and every thing in the history of politics.
 Judge Sutton can hardly be said to be clti- zen of Arkansas, though he is a Know Nothing elector His family are now residing in Ohio, and, if the truth was confessed 1t is his inten- ton, at no distant period, to make that black republican State his own home also. What his politics will be when he gets there one may well judge, from his uniform opposition to eve- " measure that was ever proposed for the bene- fit of the south.
 Judge Sutton complains bitterly of Conways election and Tells defeat. Did Sutton turn his hand to prevent it Did he vote against Conway? Did he vote for Yell <? We should like to know. Sutton says Conway, '.for aoeeks before ud euer since tue election had hoetsed him. sey up, and not permitted Gods sun, nor the eye c an honest man, to see him." We are sure, if what Yell has charged against Sutton is even partial ly true, Gov. Conway need have no fears of permitting Sutton's eye to fall upon him. Men who live in glass houses should be careful about | throwing stones.

VERY LucKY.--J. L. May, esq, was very fortunate in getting his bets taken on Union county and the State. He has won al pile from some one who too credulously placed conf- dence in the boasts of the Know Nothings and their organs Union county has done glorious ly as well as the balance of the State. The Eldorado Democratic Union says:
 "We understand that our friend J. L. May, who some time ago offered to bet the Know Nothngs $375O on the election, was taken up on the day of the election, in this place. Friend May has won on this county going democratic, 5000; on the election of the three democratic Representatives, $500; on the sher- iff's election, $500; and on the election of the clerk, $25o. The other $500 is already won, we think, as Governor Conway will beat Yell over 25OO votes"

IeVulNe, July 29, 1856.
 To-day Col. Burrow, one of the democratic electors, addressed his fellow citizens at this place. His remarks were appropriate, his ar guments cogent and convincing and his court ly demeanor won for him the highest regard as gentlemen, if not the love of all.
 The audience was numerous, and the most polite attention was given to all he said during a speech of about five hours in length. He did much good for the cause of democracy in this section. He did not only persuade, but he convinced the judgment-he did not only convince but he deterred many who were slight. ly attached to Know Nothing prescription and intolerance, from further persisting in the un- holy crusade. He showed to the entire satis- faction of all who heard him the close affinity between Know Nottingham, abolitionism, fed eralsm, and old British toryism. He showed us that Know Nottingham and federalism were twin sisters, and were the lineal descendants of British torysm.
 He advanced many arguments new and plausible. He showed us that there never were but two political parties, one the veteran democracy, in favor of democratic freedom; the other known by the name of federalism, Know Nottingham or some other cognomen in favor of arbitrary rule. He showed us what democracy had done-that our declaration of independence was penned and our constitution drafted by democrat-that the democratic party had acquired our territory and protected our national pride; and in short that our statute books contained no important act but what was the fruits of democratic labor He then gave us the other side of the picture, and in few words summed up the alien and sedition laws the Hartford convention resolutions, the Know Nothing platform of February, 1856, and the riots at Louisville, Cincinnati, and New Orleans, as the fruits of Know Nottingham and its ancestors. He discussed in masterly man. ner the Catholic question, and set at rest for. ever the opposition to naturalized citizens, and actually confounded the Fillmoreites on the Nebraska Kansas ism. He showed them that the same men who are for Fillmore now were courting the rich Irish brogue and sweet Ger man accent in '52. He showed them that Fillmore himself loved foreigners so much in his heart, that he sent an armed ship after Kos suth at the expense of the general government

Dunn and Haven suggested withholding supplies, unless the Senate con- cured. This is about the last resort before re- volutlon. The Senate would resist and resent such an attempt to coerce their votes; and then all supplies would stop. The right of either th.,I house to adopt such policy the country Will decide upon at discretion. There Is one lm- portant consideration in this case.

or There may be German newspapers es- posing the cause of Fremont. In Little Rock, we once had paper bitter against the Know Nothngs; but now this same paperis their State organ. Germans as we'll as natives may have their price But we deny that the German subscribers have been sold with these papers. The Germans are democratic, except the ni- del portion, and Fremont and Fillmore are well come to them The Louisville Times has the following:
 The Louisville Journal and other Fillmore prints, are asserting that the German popula- ton in the free States were in body incorpo- rated with the supporters of Fremont. It is islander gotten up to prejudice southern men against this class of our adopted citizens. Read the following from the Connecticut New lIa- ven Register A large and overwhelming ma jority of Germans will vote with the democratic party everywhere:
 great German meeting was held at Hart ford on Monday evening, at "Touro Hal," which was filled to overfowing by the Ger mans and their democratic friends The off cers of the meeting were Nathan Raymond, . presidert; Jacob Naedele, vice psesident; Adam 7 Wagner, August Kunkle, Ernest Wise, com Smittee; Alex. Rotshfeld, secretary; Julius Kiesewetter, assistant secretary. The meeting was addressed by MT. Leopold Bamberger and MT. Levi-and by invitation, by Hon. Wm. w. Eaton and J. L. Strong, esq, of Hartford, with great effect. The Frcmonters were very es- sentlally exposed in their hypocrtical and sud den regard for adopted citizens, and resolutions in favor Of Buchanan and Breckinridge were passed amidst tremendous cheering. It was the greatest rebuke that has been given the ridiculous attempt to hood-wink the German electors. As in New Haven the adopted citi- zens of Hartford are true to the democratic faith.

National Democracy Triumphant

Kentucky, Arkansas, Missouri, North Caro-.
 lima and Alabama all right. Nine times
 niue Cheers for Buchanan and Rreckin-
 ridge!!
 Our rooster is still in demand. Last week we brought him out to crow in honor of the triumph of the Arkansas democracy-the most brilliant and wonderful victory ever achieved in the Union. To-day, we bring him forth to crow over the democratic victories in Kentucky, Alabama, North Carolina, and Missouri. The democracy are carrying every thing before them. They are bearing down and sweeping away all opposition. The people seem to be rising in their might in favor of Buchanan and Breckinridge, the Constitution and the Union. All hail the glorious cause! Upon the success of the democracy in November next is founded the last hope of the Republic-all hail, then, to the glorious evidences that every week assure us of success--an universal victory. 1 ARKANsAs-the banner State of the Union is democratic by the unprecedented majority of 13 900 votes. Conway's vote will foot up more than 2S, OOO-YelPs more than 15,OOO-Con- way thus carrying the State by nearly two to one. Arkansas, the Memphis Appeal truly re- marks, is the banner, State of the Union
 ALABAMA as far as heard from gives increased gaines for the democracy in her local elections. Alabama will give Buck and Breck, in Novem- Der next, about 10000 majority.
 NORTH CAROLINA has gone overwhelmingly for the democratic ticket-electing democratic governor by 15 or IS, 900 majority. There are no hopes for Know Nottingham in the old North State.
 Misconceptions Missouri-has given the democratic candidate a majority of seven or eight thousand-Trusten Polk beats the Know Nothing candidate, Ewing, and packs the old dsorganizer, Benton, through the canvass.- Benton is no where in the race. One thousand guns for the noble democrats of Mssouri-they have npped in the bud the calculations of the Know Nothings on that State, and given the assurance of majority of 15 or 10000 for Buchanan next November
 KENTUCKY--what are we to say of Ken tucky-the stronghold of the dark lanternites? She too has wheeled into the democratic col umn. She has come out from among the wicked by handsome majority of 4 or 5000, she gives her voice in favor of Buchanan, the experienced statesman, and her gifted son, John c. Breckinrdge.
 With its defeat in Kentucky must de the last of Know Nothinglsm--its gone--its no longer of to-day--its thing of the past Shamefully beaten at the south and swallowed up by black republicanism at the north, it now passes from the stage and leaves it to be contested by the national democracy on the one hand, and abolitionism on the other.
 TEXAS held her election on the 4th inst, too. We expect glorious account from her when the news comes Texas cannot be otherwise than for Buchanan, the friend of her admission into the Union.
 Be of good cheer democrats ! the Union is safe The southern States will vote for Buch- anan in November next, in one solid column, and aided by four or five northern States, at least, will call him to preside over the destinies of the republic.
