The Result in Amador.


The returns come in slowly; yet enough is
known at this writing, Friday noon) to indi-
cate with certainty the election OF the Dem
ocratic ticket, by large majorities with the
exception of one of the candidates for As
sembly. r. NJ Briggs has plurality of
about one hundred over Robert Stewart, and
is therefore elected The causes which uni
ted to bring about this result are numerous;
to-day we have only time to allude to few
Of them.
In the first place, Mr. Stewart failed to re-
ceiyc considerable portion Of the foreign
votc-large numbers of Italians and French,
and some Others of foreign birth not seeing
proper to support him, although Mr., S. is
himself an adopted citizen. How this is to
be accounted for, we leave the reader to Judge
for himself; we have not arrived at solu-
ton of the problem satisfactory to ourselves,
and therefore could not expect that anything
we might say would be satisfactory to others
Mr.. Briggs is very bitter politician and
was the standard bearer of the party that
proscribes foreigners; and yet many foreign
ers gave Mr.. B. their support in preference
to Mr.. s., the latter being not only himself an
adopted citizen, but the candidate of the par
ty that has ever defended foreigners and pro-
tected them in their full and equal rights, and
against the assaults Of Know Nothing pro-
scrptior and "natve" prejudice.
1t is due to the Irish voters-certainly in
this place and vicinity, and as far as we have
learned throughout the county-to state that
they stood side by side with the major part
of the native-born Democratic voters, in the
support of Stewart and the whole ticket
The malicious and vind;ctivc cry against Mr..
Stewart failed to influence his countrymen
against him.
When the X. n remnant in Amador com
menced its organization this year, we stated
what was well known to be the fact, to-wit,
that the sole object had in view was the cleo
ton Of Mr.. Briggs at the expense of an in
glorious SALE of all the other candidates.
Indeed the State organization of the X. \
remnant was gotten up for the sole purpose
of enabling few fortunate" individuals il
the different counties, possessing more thirst
for office than PATRIOTISM, to trode MemSefre
into seats in the Legislature, or into the occu
pancy of county Offices. In this county, Mr.
Briggs had an immense trading capitat--com-
mencng with the head of the State ticket and
ending with the tail of the county ticket
AA other names, State and county, were
freely sacrificed for vote for Briggs. AS
for Mr. Scott, their candidate for Senator,
he was only put upt be sold out for the ben
eft o. Mr.. Briggs, and must have known it
at the time. If he did not, he has now ouly
to look at the returns Mr. Hinckson, also.
for the Assembly, was duly warned that he
was to be thrown "higher than Gilderoy's
kite" for the benefit of Mr.. Briggs; but he
needed il not, and will now have ample time
to examine the returns and convince himself.
He cannot fail to see the purpose for which
his name has been used.
Mr.. Briggs friends were enabled to drive
many bargains with the Republicans, and re-
ceiyed large portion of the Republican
