The Hartford Conn. Free Press in its com
ments upon the result of the election in this
State, says:
1.-TWO classes Of men, IN this as well as
other States, are disappointed by the glorious
result. First, the small, the very small class
who have a singular faith in a recognized
and prosperous Know Nothing party. Thew
have been looking for Gardner success as
signal for that open and avowed revival of
their order which they have months been plot
ting, in secret. They have been confident !;
they have staked their political hopes and
few shinplasters upon the election, and they
have lost both. Second, the pro-slavery lead
ders OF the sham Democracy, They have
been cheered by GARDENERS not half concealed
hostility to anti.slayery principles, and have
earnestly longed for his success, (Beach's
case being hopeless,) knowing we'll that it
would be hailed as a severe blow upon the
Republican party which they perfectly well
recognized as their only real and dangerous
enemy"
The following remarks of the New York
Courier and Enquirer are not inappropriate in
this connection. There is no doubt that the
wild scheme of reviving the Know Nothing
party was seriously entertained, and its pros
ecution hinged on the result of the election in
this State. The Courier and Enquirer shows
that the party Is dying out in its stronghold
Speaking Of the result OF the election in New
York city, it says:
"fhe vote of all parties has fallen of, but
especially that of the American party, who
do not poll half rs many votes In this city for
Secretary of State this year as they did for
Governor last year. The Republicans stand
relatively fourteen thousand better in this
city than last yearly which, we mean, that
the combined Democratic and American ma
jority is fourteen thousand less than it was last
year The Americans made great effort to
sustain themselves on their State ticket, and
their miserable failure must tell with fatal
effect upon the condition of the party. 1t
will not be possible for it to maintain its or.
CARNATIONS for any time, after being reduced
to such weakness. The party is maniiestly
near its last gasp"

HORRIBLE MASSACRE OF EMIaRANrs. u.
Ward Christian writes to the Los Aaqekos Star
as follows:
SAN DEMANDING, Oct. A, 1857.
take this opportunity Of informing YOU of
the murder OF an entire train of emigrants, on
thelr way from Missouri and Arkansas to this
state, VIA Great Salt Lake city which took
place at the Mountain Meadows, which are at
or near the rim Of the Great Basin, and some
distance South OF the most Southern M ormon
settlements, between the 10th and 10Th ult.
The company consisted of about one hundred
and thirty or forty men, women, and chill
dren, and including some fifty capable of
bearing arms. They were in possession of
quite an amount of stock, consisting of hors-
es, mules, and oxen. The encampment was
attacked about daylight in the morning. by
the combined forces of all the various tribes
Immediately in that section of the country.
The majority OF them were slain at the first
onset made by the Indians.
The remaining force put themselves into the
best position the circumstances would allow
but before they conld make the necessary ar.
rangementsfo for protecting themselves from the
arrows, there were but few left who were able
to bear arms. Alter having corralled their
wagons, and dug ditch for their protection.
they continued to fac upon the Indians for
one or two days, bnt the Indians had so se-
GREETED themselves, that, according to their own
statement, there was not one Of them killed.
and but few wounded. They (the emigrants)
then sent out flag Of truce, borne by little
girl, and gave themselves up to the mercy of
the savages, who Immediately rushed in and
slaughtered all of them, with the exception
Of fifteen infant children, tina that have since
been purchased, with much difficulty, by the
Mormon interpreters.

The st. Paul Times of Oct. 10th, saws that
Ramsey is certainly elected, and that the De-
mocracy dare not forge majority from Penn.
bina large enough TO overcome the Republi.
can majority in the other portions of the Ter.
ntory. The Legislature will be close. and.
probably, Republican. If the palpable frauds
in number of counties, in the way of ballot
box stutiing and Indian voting, can be purged
from the returns, the Republicans will have
the Legislature and the whole State ticket.
They are not beaten at the polls, but simply
swlndled to an outrageous extent, which
should not be submitted to. Minnesota Is
clearly Republican on a fair trial of strength.

BosToN, Nov 4, 1857.
To The Editor of tie Boston TrGUelley- Dear
Sir II was very much surprised, on opening the
papers this morning, to find that my name
was used in the recent election. You will
recollect, my dear sir, that in my last annu-
al message l announced my determination not to
be again candidate for he office of Governor,
and that Lave twice repeated that determination
since. You can judge Of my establishment, then,
in finding great liberty taken with my name
the vote of yesterday shows. feel, trust duly
grateful for the empty honor of being run a
candidate, under such cireums ances, and being
voted for by few scattering individuals but can
not pardon the unwarrautabe license which has
been taken with my name Had / known that
it to be thus used, should Immediately have
put stop to the proceeding, but as it was done
entirely s0ithou my knowteGge am left with the
consolation that aueh use Of my name has
wrought no detriment to my esteemed friend,
the Governor elect.
Very truly and reliably yours,

remembered by those who participated therein, as
a season of pleasure unalloyed

How TO MEET THE TrMEs.-Mr. Twiohel,
the President Of the Boston and Worcester
Railroad, has addressed circular to all the
employees of the corporation, in which he
proposes to them to agree to receive. each and
all, ten per cent. less than the rates of com.
pensation they have hitherto been paid unit
such time as the business of the road will
warrant an advance proposing to begin with
reducing his own salary. in the same proper
ton as the others. This circular is issued at
Mr.. IwiehelIs own instance. not as an in
struetion from the Board of Directors, who
have taken no action and passed no vote on
the subject; it is a proposition addressed to
the paid servants Of the company, by one of
their number, suggesting a mode in which
the inevitable reduction in the expenses of
the corporation, for the winter months, NAV
be accomplished with the least amount of in
convenience. 1t must be perfectly evident to
every one of the employees, that unless the
course thus suggested is adopted, consider
able number must be discharged, at least for
the winter. The question for each man to put
to himself is this: will he consent to plan
by which the inconvenience of reduction
Shall be shared by the whole body of employ
ees or will he force a part of them into abso.
Lutte want suffering, and distress
The course that has been pursued in this
case commends itself as manly, benevolent,
and prudent. Mr.. Twichell does not blink
the issue. 1t is no fault of the railroad that
business is light. 1t is plain that the corpo-
ration does not require as much assistance to
do light business as a heavy winters work,
and that It cannot afford 10 support large
number of officers whose services it does not
require during the winter. Of course it
would be possible to effect the requisite saving
by diseharging part of the men. This can
yet be done; but if the employees generally
VIII agree to the plan proposed by the Presi-
dent, and which he applies to himself, they
can secure distribution of the reduction over
the whole number, to such an extent as vastly
to mitigate the inconvenience There is thus
offered to them an opportunity for forming
sort OF mutual benefit society, in which the
stronger make contributions for the support of
the weaker. There can scarcely be doubt
that the plan will prove successful, and thus
the desired end will be attained with the co.
operation of the employees rather than by
harsh measures, which could not fail to cause
numerous instances of i'll feeling and of ae-
tual distress.-Boston Adverts8er.
This proposition commends itself the more,
from the fact stated in the Presidents circular,
"that nine dollars is worth more to each and
all of US now, than ten was before this de-
preston in business commenced"
