ably In the case Of the recent elections

cause that party had thoroughly orgaa-
ixsd, drilled and working party. Ths

by the Know nothing organisation, which
for tims swept everything before II. -
So again ia 1859 and 20, whsa the
Wids-Awakes By the same perfected or.
ganiSation, swept everything in the eoun-
try; and nov, in '63, the U. Lis have
