We repeat, the .prospect is rendered brightet for the 'Democracy by the elections of the 21st. and causes earnest rejoicing into the hearts of all truly opposed to the dark lantern movements of the day. ?'Although the Know Nothings carried this Borough, (which they have always done,) they are still disappointed in the result. They, looked for twice as large a majority, and had exerted every nerve to accomplish, that figure. Nothing was . too-small, in their .des 7 peration, the them_to resort to. They even started the old game of flooding the town with false reports of what this or that Deinocrat should, have said of this or that person,- or class of persons—having no foundation in fact, but that being.nothing so long as it tended to car rying out , their purpose—the election of their ticket. But werrather think the people will be wide-awake hereafter for these unscrupulous nightly caucusers. CC:7IVe hear frouvall quarters of the county, that, although - the Know Nothings seemed (when speaking to Democrats,) - to care very little about the election, it is certain that their full strength was at the -polls when the day cane. Now,' if they have abolished all :UWE i work, it is strange that Their men should be so genera lly' out, when there seemed to be no - daylight work to urge them to the polls. The thing looks decidedly-_ —fishy !" "Out of their Own Mouths they are Con- demned." The Federal Union says : "If there is any nationality in the. party that nominated Millard Fillmore and ANDREW JACKSON donelson fur President and Vice President, in what does it consist I in the principle of opposition to foreigners, or the 'Americans to ride Ameri ca' doctvir.e ? Why, donelson, but a few % years ago, pronounced such doctrines akin to the' alien and sedition laws„ and at war with every true American sentiment. Does their nation laity consist in their soundness on the slavery question Why, we have donelson's delihe rately.publiShed views in this very paper, satisfactorily proving Millard Fillmorti's ministration of the free-soil stamp, and fixing upon Mr. Fillmore the stigma of free-soil affili ation. Out' f theirown mouths they ere con demned.. Out of their owAmouths the plea of nationality set up is ficucious and entitled to . no weight. Know Nothingism is in a strait.

In looking over our exchanges from Tennes see, we find that at the late election held in that State for county officers the Democratic tri umph was not only decisive, but it was lite rally overwhelming.

To show the extent of the po litical reaction which is still going on in Ten nessee, we take at` random. the. vote of one county (Gibsim) at .the election held a few weeks ago, which resulted in the defeat of the entire Knew Notlfing ticket: 1 7 011 SHERIFF. . 17 — e. s, vtimerat N.
