Black Republicans and Know Nothings, how
ever, are jlbilant over the result shouting as
Justify rs if the Dutch had succeeded in taking
Holland for the first time. As far AS heard
from the Democratic vote af last year is fully
sustained. Whatever gains our opponents may
have made they have not made them from our
ranks, us they have claimed. but because 1t did
not ram, aud they took every precaution to have
every voter at the polls. "

keep at work. = Our vote is now
much larger than for Pierce in 1852
