They are interesting, =but would have been
much more solf they had appeared at the
proper time. We wish our friends, if they
'expect us to .Publish reports of Meetings,
would send them to us directly, instead of
i starting them ofd' ou a trip to York State, and
'leaving us to huot them'up in an exchange, a
week or two after the - meeting is held, as
happened in this case.

The triumphant lisuccess of the cemibitied forces of the
Whigs, Free- o ilers, Know-Nothings, -anill Anti-Ne- '
briska Acme ts, over the Pierice Nebratilm,party of
that State., It iwill be seen that:the Whig and Free
!

dates, who; althongh regularly M nomination, receiv
ed only the support of a small handful of, voters. The
fusion against the Nebraskaites was comPle , and the
route is as corhplete as was tlie'cornbiinit n. The
last stronghold :of the eliani Dereocracy has hus been
utterly overthfown. The eleincnts of 1 opposition
which the traitorous conduct and policy cif:the Nation

ed in New-lbunpshire, as in Maine) and: did result is.
the totaldise'mptiire of the hithertO invincible Dem
ocratic party' o r that State. New-Itampshire has, for
the first time, gone over to the ophositinnl - It is a
memorable event 'in the historytof New England poli
ties. Whatevr may be pretended.; this 'cierwheltn
ing victory is flmainly owing td the aveniinn bf the
masses to tlietcourse of the Adniinistrandn on the
Nebraska bill. The popular disgust was .e Try-where
excited; and, , under cover of a new anization,
much of it bas manifested itself , that .tio Ad never
-otherwise-hive heeri, fully felt In the election.. Yet,
without an 3! other iSsue than simple Anti-Nebraska,
the route of the Administration in its stronghold in the
North would hardly have been less cemplete. - The
great and shunning .sin which 'has pk*tr4ed it liras
the iniquityl hatched by Atethors, Douslaa, Ple•oa,
and their agents and abettors.l This is, the- weight
that has pulle4 it down. Its little merits, like the ve
to of the Collins line; for example, have been as noth
ing in the sae against the crowning infarriF which it
attempted to establish andleanbnize in theiDernanat

" This electiori discloses what 'the elections else
where in the North!deruonstrate, that 'the old .. . Dem
ocratic party is reduced tO a skeleton; and can . no
-where stand against the Opptenlion, ill e elements
of that Opposition will cotabine. This' s p*rty, so long

of its

will only be wise, it has the power, td eictinguish - it
at' a blow.! The Oat traitorous couthination which

ricidal bloW at the Cause of Fmeedom and progress on
this'Contisient, may - itself: be Cloven clOwn in the act.
It is a tin when minor differences shiauld be forgot

Our attention has liven called to a para

truthfulness of its foiper.iu-ticle relative to
the Franklin ItownShipelectiOn and Mr. James
Watson. The Demi-rat "we know
that he ( Mr.!Watson )does _ not deny the truth
, our statement substantially." Now we
know that Mr. Watson does, deny the truth of I
that statem e nt substantially and in full, and
it its well known here 2 , n hiy . neighborhood.—
He bas repeatedly, on various occasions, in
our presence, and other4 i , pronounced
, he
statement concerning him, a fabrication—tnat
he never asked for a dismi'ssion from the K..
' N's, that no one &el.ihrea , tened to prosecute
him if he did not vote their ticket, and that
it Was for no such reason be refrained from
voting at the recent township election.
It is well understoOd here that had it, not
been for the , influence of ;Old Hunker rela

have had a proMpt denial of the statement

it was that we heard from some of Cameron's friends
about th6l/ettcrifrom Wilmot. Mr. Lathrop also in=
formed its that he had beard that such a letter was in
being. Supn aitCrwards an incident occurred by which
we were' enabled to get it in our possession-and hon

our oplaisns upon it freely, and there the matter end

to him foZ the pittpose of influencing his vote for Cam

Mr. -Wilunn's organ at Towanda - assailed us, represent
