From the Louisville Courier.
When the telegraph brought us the news of the
defeat of the K N candidate for Mayor at the mu-
nicipa election on Wednesday last we could scarcely
credit it. 1t seemed too good to be true when it |
was confirmed, we still thought there was some |
mistake about it. But there is no longer room for
doubt. Know Nothingism has been beaten down IN
its stronghold. The friends of Breckenridge and |
Lane have triumphed where they least hoped for
success Baltimore is redeemed. And the change
in Baltimore insures us Maryland.
This is, indeed, good news-gorious news
We claim the victory Baltimore on the author
ity Of the Baltimore Clipper the Beleyerite organ,
whose editor. L. A. Whitley, Esq, formerly of the
Louisville Journal Secretary of the National
Executive Committee of the Union party, at Wash
ington City. On the morning of the election, the
10th il had three columns of short and stirring ap
peals to the Americans and Douglasites to for
Hindes the Union party candidate. against Brown
whom they called the breckenridge ancey cand
date But it was all in vain Brown is elected by
about 5000 majority.
The following paragraphs from the Clipper of
"Wednesday. leave no sort of doubt that the Amer
leans and Douglasites generally supported Hndes,
/ while the friends Of Breckenridge and Lane voted
| for Brown and triumphedl The Clipper says:
Douglas men! The Yancey Breckinridgers have
/ nominated Brown to smother your strength, and
| cry out that you nowhere in Baltimore VIII
you give them this victory, or will you rebuke their
4 impotence and trickery by voting for Hindes and
the Union nominee for the Council:
A vote for Hindes to-day is vote for Bell and
| Everett. a vote for Brown Is vote for Breckin-
ridge and vote for breckenridge is vote for LIN
1 coin and Hamlin.

If we elect Hindes to-day, Maryland will roll up
an immense majority for Bell and Everett. If we
fail TO elect him our friends in the counties viii be
discouraged d.
Reader, if there is in your neighborhood any
Union American who does not understand
the Importance of the exercise of the right of suf
frage, and vote fer Hndes and the Union and
American nominees, hunt him up and try to make
wiser and better man of him. !.
Friends of Douglas Recollect to-day that the
election of Brown will be trumpeted to the whole
country as defeat of the Douglas of Mary
land. This intelligence will be spread through Hi
nois and Indians to injure the prospects of your
candidate and if on this account Lincoln shall be
elected, the Breckites will be exceeding glad.
The Yaneey-Breckites have taken up George Viii
liam Brown to defeat the Douglas well as the
Bell men. If he should be elected, they viii pro-
CLAIM it as a Breckenridge victory. Friends of
Douglas shall this be done .r- +.
If Brown should be elected to-day, all the Yancey-
Breckenridge men viii shout tremendously over the
victory. we nave no taste lor sucn music. Leu
the shouts be for Hindes and the Union and Amer
lean ticket.
Let no Union man eat drink before he votes
for Hindes this morning. Remember that Hndes is
the Union candidate, and his election defeat will
influence thousands of votes in our State and in all
the adjoining States -.aa
.
Remember that all these eUls, and others still more
aggravated, WILL BE REVIVED BY THE RESTORATION OF
Tun DENopR rig y To and then reflect
that The election Of George I'n. Broca lciH be TRI-
UNPH OF TIE BREcKNRIDGE DEMOCRACY, and vote &C
cordingly
And these are but a few of the paragraphs Of a
similar import in that number of the organ par
egceHepce Of Baltimore acknowledgement. But it
could not avert the doom that awaited its party.
1t could not save Hindes. 1t could not defeat
Brown. The Democracy triumphed and the State il
safe!
