that the Republicans supported him with an
alacrity and unanimity that secured him .
triumphant majority, in the face Of power
full and active effort on the part Of the De-
mooracy to achieve . party victory in the
city election. And so far is the Republican
party from entertaining any clear and dsci-
ded hostility to an honest citizen on account
Of the accident Of his birth, that we have no
idea that the thought Of Mr.. Leighton's hsv-
ing been born in Scotland entered tho head
OF solitary Republican during the canvass,
or 1t least that he lost : vote on that ac-
count. On the other hand, the nominee Of
the Democracy was leading member OF the
Know Nothing Order, and, we are informed,
the chief officer in one OF the councils, while
that organisation was fourishing here. And
while MIR. Leighton lost no Republican votes
on account Of bis foreign birth, does any one
presume that MIR. Sample lost any Democrat

gler among the Know Nothings2

bail, but this they declined to do. Next til,
court offered to release them on their persona

they were set free without any consideration

caught up by the newspapers, and obtained
large circulation. Mr.. Beecher writes pithy
disclaimer in the Independent, of which the fol-
lowing is an extr act:-
Now, if any spirit, or any corps of associated
spirits, are employing us as a line by which to
telegraph truth fIom that sphere to this, they
are doing it without our knowledge or consent.
We protest against the operation. And, as we
can imagine no way in which to take the law
against them for iresbass, we take the news
paper. And we here bring no railing accusa-
hon against any or suudry spirits that have
quizzed Mr.. Chase but we expostulate with
those mischievouS sprites that amuse themsely's
at the expense ofsober and honest gentlemen.

prove this, it was run around the race course
