founded upon the principles of liberty and
equality, the very principles which the Demo

Who are the enemies.of public liberty and the
Constitution of our country ? Are they to Le

which the Constitution was made ? Are the
Know Nothings and Aholitionists friends to
either; when they only seem to admit some
general notions of may pro

white slavery, and when they endeavor to de

BALTIMORE ELECTIO:t
From the Baltimore Republican.
Fraud and Violence Triumphant.
Through the instrumentality of the most
outrageous - frauas end murderous violence,
the Know Nothings have perpetuated their
power in the city for another term. Never
was our city dtsgra , ..ed by such continued
scones of ruffian violence marked the
course of our Opponents throughout the day.
The sworn brotherhood, aided by thousands
who, still. continue to call themselves old
Whigs, carried out the revolves of their coun
cils. In every ward, where they had the
power, they beat off the adopted citizens, and
many native horn, - who wished to vote the
Demoerotic ticket,.. openly and daringly as
serting that they should not vote, unless they
voted tor. Swann.
An examination of the vote in the several
wards will show the significant fact, that in
oveTy word where pence and order was pre
served, nod where the voters were allowed to
put in their ballots, 'the Democratic vote has
been increased--while it- is only in those
wards whore riot and bloodshed, violence and
fraud were conspicuous, that Know Nothing-,
ism has been triumphant. The filet stands
Vat broadly and undellialfily, anifstaimps with
eternal infamy the party which sanctions and
encourwres;such outrages, In the First ward,
whore &re are a thousand Democratic Votes,
a fraction over four hundred were permitted
to be polled. -In the Fourth ward the same
inf i um. course was pursued. In the Eigh
teenth ward we are assured by hundreds who
were there, that not a Denmeratie vote was
allowed to be deposited after 11 o'elm . :k, 'the
polls lei Ito. completely in the brands ofruillans,
who crienry swore that no adopted citizen or
Deumernt should vete there. lint it is useless
to parsce the sithicet fitrther. We, turn with
disgust from the pieture -which our city pre
sents. If this is-to be the Manner in which
Americans rule Ainericti—wc_Tray God_tio
save 'us from sue i rule. It is therule of by;-
°try ling brute force—which must end in in
volving the community in continued bickerinp, , s
and I,lootlshed.
henry Clay . said he would rather be right
than he president; and - we say we 'Would a
thousand fold rather he beaten- than to sue
ecoil by such famous means air these which
have p'.aced know Nothingirim in pawer. The
suei;e,s or our oppinents has been' achieved
only by trampling aim the rights of others
—and such triumphs bring not litmor, but
disgrace -- to - the • party.
Below -will be found the vote of the city,
which, notwithstanding rail tho outrages and
frands pewpetratcd by the banded and sworn
brotherhood of Know-Nothingism and their
shims a gain of three members in the
Second Branch of the Council; and a falling
01T in the Mayor's majority of some twelve
hundred votes. There is not 11: shadow of'
mht that a fair and holleAvNpression of the'
public voice—a full and fitir vote of the citi
zens of Baltimore, would have reversed this
majority entirely, And made' Robert Clinton
Wright our Mayor by a larger vote than that
which the ,Know Nothing candidate MAY
boasts of.

Ma. Enrioa:—Llt is seldom that the time
arrives when it seeins to be the duty of private
citizens to express their viewspubliely on the
political condition of our 'country ; but the
_present _crisis_ is one which eertainly demands
the most serious - -consideration of every law

party. Whon,:in the „dark - clouds ot,faniti

'parties, seriously and earriestly,contending
against the only national, party s ithat exists in

auspices we have arrived atour present period
of national greatness, it is-certainly time4hatr

"means that have ever been resorted tu'by the'
opposition to defeat the Democracy.' •
From the Atlantic, to the. Pacific oceans- 7 -
from the great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico,
Democracy is,- and..eyer, has - been, the Seine.
And although it iii p!rogressive in its nature,_
the principles upon,:whieh it, is* founded al
ways has been, and always willbe the same.
It is the party upon -which now rests the safe
ty of the Union. If its strength is insufficient
to withstand the continued, attacks of section
,alism' we have no other lisnk to ; for it is a
- fixed fact that there is no ether national par
ty,
.consegientlylitt other party eiartvitlistand,
a
the . attacks of sectional-flu:done._ In Buchan
an. nd Breekinridge we present the most for
midable ticket that has ever been presented
to the American people. In the event of
their election, we may' r expect the laws uf the
land to be enforced and equal justice distribut

ed. But such will not be the ease if either of
theopposing candidates succeed. If Ellin ore
were elected, and 'a Black Republican majori
ty in Congress werO to paws an act repealing
Nebraska bill, and' restoring the Missouri
restriction, is.it notreasenable to suppose that
he would sanction it, standing, as he does, on
a platform that wotildjustify him in it? Fre-.
mon twe knew would. And yet the Missouri
'restriction is no wore constitutional than the
Wilmot Proviso. By the one, Congress as
sumes the power of prohibiting slavery north
of a certain line, while, by' the other, it "
claims the power of prohibiting it in all the
States of the Union: .
Congress has no power to legislate slavery
into any territory or State, or to exclude it
from them. But let these , men who are good .
enough, without any platform be elected,_ be-
eause they happen to he ton much divided to

as good a thing as we need expect. Thelsre
braska bill leaves the people free to decide for
themselves at the time of admission as a State ,
whether slavery shall exist or not.
What scut of a government could we ex
peat to hare controlled by a party which is
forever changing its principles? And judg
ing from the past, what more need we expect
but that those, parties which descended from
the old Federal party will continue to change
as long as time lasts, if disappointed office
seekers,. such as Sam Houston 'and others,
can continue to succeed in , poisoning the
minds of the people against Democracy? It
is time that the great body of the people
should be brought to a true sense of the politi
cal condition of the country. And under the,.
present threatenina. aspect of affairs, it is
time that the people should lay aside party
prejudice and rally to a man to the support of
Buchanan and Breekinridge, whose- only
chance of success is by an election of the peo
ple. Fillmore is the weakest of the three
candidates--Buchanan
by
the strongest;_ ad
if there is no election by the people, Fremont
may be the President. The people will then
lament, but, alas ! too late ! the blind prtl:u- -
