In spite of all their hind boast's previOu4 - to the election—in spite of ail the hard swearing they subjected their followers * to—their dark-lantern man "Sam" has received a deservedly rough reeePtien from the unconquerable .

They received some significant cheeks, indeed; during the present year—and the falling off, in Philadelphia,'from a majori ty of nearly nine tholsand to less than half as many hnndreds, ether' sobered them for a, While. 'But' their' orators, :and pres4es, and executive committees explained thol4e mishaps aWay,' Its well as they could—pointed-their de luded_ followers to bright things- in store for them in Virginia ;paraded solemn assurances that thousands of betnocrats lit that State were rushing into the dark lantern business—and had worked their 'disciples into'a rather com fortable State of confidence. As an evidence that the arts of their leaders were successfully used in restoring the somewhat staggered faith of the tank and. file; we mention the fact.that very large stuns were wagered, in and out of Virginia, on the defeat °Ilion:) , A. Wise. In Washington-city alone, $75.000 were staked against about- half that sum, on Flournoy against Wise—in ;Baltimore. as much more— in Richmond, Norfolk, Petersburg, and many other places, wer hear of thousands being staked, in most cages the opponents Of Wise betting Iwo, three amt' four to one! If the statements we lice "in re efforts•to make the most out of 'a sure thing' be at - all true, at least a quarter of a million of dollars must have been planked down by .those who had faith in the invincibility of 'Sam !'

VirBinim (Action lb th ..)// • to have -the amendments and. the provisions of the bill read, so that Senators might know for what they were voting.---This vrns evaded. Tbe provisions -were not read. Several of these provisions were, however, stated by the members of The Cortintitte, and diseu>•ged by the Senate before the vote was taken. One of these Was as to the powers granted4o the pur chaser to construct a new it'll, nod , so as to form a continuous' line from Philadelphia to Pittsburg,. It was stated by Mr; PRICE and others, that authority was given to, comnteeee the read at Columbia, the end. of the State railroad, so aF to secure an entire line from city to city. This provision, if true, inter fering with the interests of the Harrisburg and Lancaster railroad to the tune of at least a million, gave rise to a considerable discussion and a 000 d deal of feeling. Here seemed to be ar collision of interests between these com panies; here was the "coup de partie .;" here was the point upon which success or defeat turned—the finishing stroke. It was seen that with this provision there was still some room for competition, and Rome small hope left that the Commonwealth might look for justice. Upon the bill as thus slated —giving Ms authority—the Senate voted. -With this understanding,, as clearly- expressed as if it had been written in the hill and read by the clerk, at least threefourths of the, Sena tors, as we believe, answered to their names, and either recorded their aye or no. The re port was adopted, the bill passed, and was sent to the Governor. We say the hill passed. We correct onr selves—not the bill passed, but a bill was sent to the Governor, and by htm signed. It is not Me hill, however, which recritged the assent Of the Senate. But it is a different nil! ; a bill which gives no authority to interfere with the interests of the railroad between Harrisburg and Lancaster; a bill which never passed the Senate, if it ever passed the lower house. A law now in form, but a sttipendons fraud in reality. Between individ oats, such. an act would collie, no power, conicy no , interest, semen() benefit. Any court would pronounce it void.. and visit heavy damages upon any party who, knowing the circumstances, should pretend to use it .to change. the ownership of property, or to Obtain advantage. We cay let the fraud be proclaimed, and the public as-well as-any and all parties concerned, he notified that the next Legislature will he called upon to repeal the act, and to ascertain wheni - the change was made. and who made it. - r7The crowning act of the iniqinti es with which the !lac Legislature of Massachusetts has soiled the escutcheon of that ancient Commonwealth, was perpetrated on Mondtil . week, previous to their adjournment, by the passage, over the Governor's veto, of a bill nullifying a provision of the Constitution and a law of the United States. The "Personal Liberty Bill," as it - is miscabed. designed - to prevent the execution of the Fugitive Slave Law—which Governor Gardiner, hi►nself an Abolitionist, was compelled to veto tinder a sense of imperative duty. and which the At torney General, also of the Abolition school, pronounced unconstitutional—was-enacted in to a law in the teeth of these remonstrances, by a vote of :12 to 3 in the Semite, and 230 to 7& in the House. The Ambit; Post, in an arti cle, justly conile►nning this high-handed act of nullification. remarks : “The passage of this bill, legalizing treason and rebellion, is the crowning proof of the abolitionism of the Know-Nothing Order. It is thoroughly steeped in this element. It will hesitate at nothing to accomplish its plans. Besides its religi ous persecution, besides its proscription for birth, here at length Know- Nothingisto has reached the zenith point of resistance to the laws of the land. It has wantonly trampled under foot the Constitution of this country !” ~G- 7 The dishonesty of Know-Nothingism and the varying phases it presents, are welt illus trated by the following item of news, which is going the rounds of the press : `•The California Know-Nothing State Coun cil has rejected from its platform the Catholic test.. In Louisiana the same thing has been done." In all the other States proscription and per secution of that Christian sect is retained in the Know-Nothing creed. In Louisiana Cath olics arc numerous, and if there is, as the secret conspirators pretend to believe, any danger from that religious denomination, it is in that State that priisdription of them should be retained. But it is precisely in those sestions of the country where the Catholic population is the largest that _the Know-Nothings are liberal to them. Where there are but few, on the con- Crary, the intolerance and proscription of the conspirators is the most strikingly 'winced. The reason of this is, that the Know• Nothing managers, having no _principles, adapt their creed to suit what they suppose to be popular sentiment in different localities. In the South they are for slavery, and in the North they are for abolition. In New England they proscibe and persecute Catholics, brit in California and Louisiana, where that denomination control a great many votes, they favor and admit them into the order. There the ''anti-foreign" phase of the “inovement" is brought into strong relief, and the changes are rung upon it. The whole order - is but a machine con structed by artful and unscrupulous men to gain political power. To this end are employ ed the varying appeals to sectional, national and religious prtjudices.—Lancaster , reficer. r.

Certain gentlemen and certain newspapers have-had - rprite - a-funny - time with a nice little anecdote that has been told over and over again' since the political-canvass was going on in Vir ginia.

The pith of the joke was in this, that an old gentle man rose up in the back part of the crowded hail and said, '•stand np, Sam !" Whereupon . about nine tenths of the Democratic meeting that i‘lr. Wise was addressing arose, thus proclaiming that they were followers of Sam and ready to vote against the Democratic can didate. We would state for the benefit of our Know-Nothing friends that there has been an election down in ‘.Old Virginny," and by some unaccountable mishap, all those friends and admirers of Sam were not about—the old gen tleman who told Sam to stand up in the meet ing forgot to tell him to stand up at the elec tion, and the consequence is that Henry A.

I knew the rock of defenci—and that rock was the indomitable Democracy. (Tre mendous cheers by the friends of Mr. Wise, and a renewal of interruptions by his foes.) Mr. Wise then briefly gave an accoarrt of the travel he had performed, and orthe oratorical toils he had endured during the canvass;-and said: Notwithstanding Sam had- achtfered victories in the' North, _I knew he cosih not meet the masses of the people, in •primary Ebs, semblages, i» Virginia. I kriew - he co l ou r no t stand- hi-fore the pibroch and trump of liberty. Ile might live in the land of secret 1)414)4 bet he could not survive the viva ?wet of the . peo. ph. (Applause, and cries of "Iluzaa for Sam.") Aye, that voice had overwhelmingly conquered in the Old .Dorainion.—(Renewed eppinese.). I was told by my friends, and I now tell yon—(here the confusion was so great the renerinder of what Mr. Wise said was lost.) Is the ear of the peOple not to' lie allowed to listen to the language of liberty ? Not only are these "Sams hurrahing for the deStrue tion of religious liberty, but they would tram ple on the freedom of the pen and press. (Ap e 'dense and diSapprobation.) I tell yon, yen have found your plaster in a puritiedtinajority, which consists of the - conscientious and cori- . seryative men of both the old parties. (Re newed interruptions and various cries mingled with applause.) My friends., I would, If, I were one of the Lord's :mut:tinted. give *you it little of the holy water you ask. for. You need it. (Laughter, applause and gr us'ns.) Yora who are crying out there for holy water,: are hypocrites. (A voice—" That's a Tie, yors want ite") You have joined in the war ofthe, abolitionists on the institutions of Virginia.

(Renewed [aught ter by the friends of Mr. Wise, : and cheering by his foes.) I thank you from my heart, lie ironically said, for your decent, orderly con duct and behavior. You have demonstrate!' you are worthy to be masters of this great conntry.—What laws will guard ns if such men as you rule the country ? Discussion, .it. would appear, is not tolerated. (Mr. Wise was here Silenced by the groans from - Die Know Nothings, anti the hurrahs for "Sam.") He continued : My lungs are too weak for Me to contend with a rabble like you. A mob of Know Nothings has seized upon the capital of 'the country.. I leave to conservative Whigs and Democrats to say if this disgrace shall *abide here. ("No," -.n0," "no," and renewal of interruptions by the Know-Nothings.) . I lutist thank you, my friends, for the compli ment you expected to pay me. (Cries of -.Go on," "go one"), No, I shall riot go on. My lungs will not permit it : (Renewed invitations to go on.) I will conclude by saying, here in Washington, freedom of speech was not al lowed by the tyrant and dictator, and dirk lumen) oligarchy, which seeks over to oppress. Mre Wise then withdrew amidst the' ap plause of Iris friends and the - joy of his foes: Crowds of the friends of Mr. SVise now rushed into the hotel, and warmly congratulated him. The Know-Nothings for an hour longer con tinued their noises, when, becoming weary of their performances, and hoarse with their Own bawling, they dispersed. - .

Ho declines, and in his reply re marks than "The true American party in this land .is the Democratic party. It proscribes no man on account of his birth or of his religion ; it adopts as its own the principles contained in the declaration of American 'independence.— There rests not upon the statute book of our country one measure which has added to its greatness that has not the stamp and impreSs of Democracy. Under Democratic rule and policy We have grown from infancy to vigor ous manhood. Ours is the greatest. thehap piest, and the best country God has given to roan.
