E- They tell us-these know-nothings - that
Fillmore was beaten because we democrats kept
telling the people that he 'stood no chance.
They say that their men believed us, and voted
for Buchanan. But, gentlemen, yOu declared that
Buchanan "stooi no chance" quite as often sssswe
declared the contrary. We will not vex the souls
of our neighbors of the Patriot by quoting their
big lines to this effect We will illust ate the to-
pic by a paragraph from the Southern Standard, q
know-nothing paper printed at Trenton, in this
State. The fact is, the people sawfO themselves.
They showed their good ssnss by believing US and

on the Hudson River Railroad, who was recogni-
zed by Mrs. Cathsrine Burke as her husband, Pat.
rick Burke The baked meats had already been
prepared, and the coffin was on the hearse ready
for removal, when Patrick stepped up to Mrs B.
and tapping her on the shoulder, anxiousy nqur-
ed, "Whose funeral is this, my dear2" The only
reply the good woman could make was to faint
and all the attending mourners fed at the sight: OF

sufficiently to discover that Kathleen had made a
slight mistake in taking the dead man to be her
own dear Pat and it is said no one was more graf
flied to find out the mistake than herself.
