Arkansas true Democrat., 1857-08-18
The Hections---Democratic Victories.

To the exclusion of much editorial we give all the election news we have up to the time of going to press The democrats appear to have swept everything in the south. There is scarcely vestige of Know Nottingham left. In Tennessee, we learn of the election of but two Know Nothngs to Congress, and they are men who, in the contest between the north and the south, in 1854, both voted with the democrats for the Kansas Nebraska bill. That vote saved them-nothing else.
 The following is a condensed statement of the result from the Memphis Appeal of the 14th inst:
 "The recent elections teach that the southern people are too wise, liberal, tolerant, and pa triotc to sustain any party which persecutes any class of citizens whatever may be their birth place or religious faith, or which proves tself faithleSs and treacherous to the dearest rights of the south; and that they cannot be diverted from great issues by such transparent humbugs as Alien Suffrage and Distribution. Will our Know Nothing friends never learn that the people of the south will trust only those who manfully and periodically uphold, sustain and defend all their constitutional rights both civil and religious? Time alone will show.
 The grand result in the south may be sum, med up thus:
 Frginia.-Fifteen Democratic members of Congress; Know Nothings not one. Demo- cratic majority in the legislature, nearly one hundred
 Kentuckg-Democraticm members of Congress eight; Know Nothngs two, and perhaps only one. The legislature largely Democratic, the Democratic treasurer elected by ten thousand majority.
 Ts,anessee-Democrats elected to Congress, seven certain, and perhaps eight. Know Mo- things, two Kansas. N ebraska Nnow Nothings, and probably one anti Kansas N ebraska Know Nothing. Democratic majority in the General Assembly, from twelve to sixteen Democratic Governor elected by ten or twelve thousand majority.
 Alabama-The democrats elected the whole Congressional ticket by an overwhelming major ity.
 In Texas the national democracy have swept everything before them.
 The returns from North Carolina clearly in dicate glorious democratic triumph.
 We may feel assured that Georgia, Missisip- pi and Louisiana, will roll up democratic ma- jorities equal to their southern sisters.
 However the recent election for Governor may have resulted in Missouri, the national de. mocracy may console themselves from the fact that sEgle-banded they manfully battled against an unhoiy coalition between the treacb- erous Bentonits, the emancipationists and the know nothngs.
 If the know nothings of Tennessee can find any crumb of comfort in Rollins election (pro- vided he be elected) we envy not them their joy.
 The elections throughout the south have taught great moral lesson. That truth, right and patriotism will triumph over falSehood, er- TOT and sefishness, and that the south will not tolerate either civil or religious intolerance May we all learn wisdom from the invaluable lesson taught us.!
