Moro Lying-The Elcction,

The Washington Union of this morning
says that the anti-Americans, alias the fusion
lists, have carried four of the seven wards,
which, 1t says secures them, (the fusionists,
preponderance in the Councils. This state
ment is intended for effect abroad. But it is q
hlsehood The Americans have carried the
Sd, 9Th, 9th and 7th wards, whilst the fusion
lists have carried the LIST, I'd and 4th wards
The Americans have a majority in each branch
of the City Councils.
! In another article the Union says:
We are as yet without full returns Of the cleo
ton held in this city yesterday; but sufficient is
known to warrant the statement that Known Moth
ingism in the federal capital has met with most
signal and unexpected defeat"
This is the second falsehood uttered by the
Union. in this mornings issue of that sheet
And reader, in what manner does the Wash
ington Union introduce the result of the cleo
ton on yesterday 1t heads it, "AnotAsr
Democratic zrinmpA" This is double
falsehood for, in the first place the .fusionists
cannot claim triumph at all, and in the sec
ond place their leaders in the battle of yester-
day were mostly old Line Wings" Who
is DR.. Magruder, the Mayor elect2 He is and
always ,oas q Wing, and he received on yes
terday the support Of foreigners, Catholics,
Old Line Wings, and Forneyites, and by means
Of double, triple, and quadruple voting, bribery,
bargain, and sale, and every species of politi-
cal chicanory and fraud, he has gained bar
rem victory by majority of thirty-tw votes
ant nf cfv uv~I <x,i AL =
the Washington Union meanly and basely
styles "Anothcr Democratic Triumph !"
We regard it as very remarkable that the
fusionists did not carry the whole city by a
thousand majority. Every clerk and other en-
ployee of the government was warned by the
tools of Frank Pierce that dismissal from office
and employment would follow his refusal to
vote for the fusion ticket every foreigner, ex-
cept few noble specimens of that class, who
are Protestants, voted for the fusionists--the
Catholics, one and all, sustained the fusion
ticket-and the leaders Of the old line Wings
did their utmost to secure the success of the
fusionists and yet the Americans" Of Wash
ington carried majority Of the wards, and
only lost the Mayoralty by 13 votes, whilst
numerous fusionists voted twice, and thrice, at
the different precincts A nobler and more
gallant set of men than the Americans Of
Washington cannot be found in the United
States
The Jusion in Washington is to be followed
by .tusions in every part of the country against
Americanism Be- it SO, and let the issue be
made and met next November throughout the
land. If there be not now conservation enough
in the country to snatch our institutions from
the grasp Of Forsignism, Romanism, and
Demdgoguism, the sooner this fusion prevails
the sooner will that revolution commence,
which, at no, distant day, viii degenerate the
country even at the sacrifice Of blood. The
above elements may triumph in the United
States for day, month, or year, but the
land Of Washington cannot be made the per-
rnanent abode of Romanismi
