The Force of Truth.
One of the most comfortable positions
imaginable to be in, is to have the Right
and the Truth on one's side—and
another is, to be sustained in their ad
vocacy by the people. Fqr weeks be
fore the election, the Opposition leaders
and,their mouth-pieces spared not in
denunciation and abuse of the editor of
the Compiler. What it all meant, "the
whole world and the rust of mankind"
may not have been able to divine; but
we consoled ourself with the reflection
that they felt the force of vas TRUTH
ag,ainst their cause and their candidates,
and henee they bore us no good will for
taking a hand in spreading it: MET
could riot deny the facts as charged
against them. The proof was at hand
to confound anti defeat them. This
they very well kniiv--and as "drown
ing men catch at straws," they opened
their batteries upon us for telling the
people whet theseleadars fetidly hoped
would never get to their ayes or ears.
Bat the POVULka VZIDICT sustains us,
and that's cbmfort - enough. So lire

liEft DgCISION OF 1856
The Old Keystone True to lierself—True
to the Constitution and the Union—
True to the Equal Riyhts of all

to warrant us in announcing the grati

TUOUSAND!!
This is no ordinary triumph. Tho
. whole country was looking to the result
in Pennsylvania. The victory of last
• year was attributed to fraud and (keep
: tion l and not to those ilselings of rever
t mice and reg-mrd for the Constitution
which so emphatically characterize the
; Democracy of the Old Keystone State.
But the present triumph is a full and
entire endorsement of that of 1855, and
places the Pennsylvania Democracy on
a solid platform, which cannot bo mis
understood or misinterpreted. The
Black Republican party is beaten on
the broad issue made by their own
'State Convention, and championed by
their most gifted :old intelligent leader.
The Know Nothing orl.canization is re
buked, and that in a signal and crush
ing manner, and the election of the
Democratic State ticket eovers the
whole opposition to the Constitution,
the rights of the States and the sanctity
• of religions sentiment.
At this time,says the Pennsylvanian,
we can but state fu is—announsx3 re
sults. The application of these filets
is a labor to be performed when excite
ment has ceased and the popular mind
is in a state to see and appreciate all
the poculiar 'circumstances which enter
ed into the State contest just termina
ted in such a glorious manner. Enough
time proud consciousness of having
wiped out the stain which three years
ago was placed . upon the brow of old
Pennsylvania, by the election of JamEs
PoLLocx as her chief magistrate.—
Enough to have defeated DAVID WIL
MOT, and that party which proclaims
open hostility to the Constitution, and
the Union of these. States under that
instrument Enough to have stamped
the broad seal of Pennsylvania's dmiim,p
probation upon all and every attempt
to mingle re/igion and polities. This is
the meaning of the victory which we
take pride in heralding to our friend

for Recorder of Deeds, Clerk of tho
Court of Quarter Sessions, and Coronor
are elected by equal if not larger majori

Wednesday last, for members of City
Councils, &e. The Democrats had no
organization, and polled but 2,980 YOtCIB,
to 11,878 &now Nothing votes. The
day was characterised throughout by
the most disgraceful rioting, disorder
and bloodshed. So threatening was
the aspect' of affairs that many of the
Democratic Ward candidates withdrew
in the morning,. as did many of the
!Democratic election officers. Justice
Iwould not be done them, and their lives
were not safe whilst upon the ground.
At a few of the polls where the Demo
crats made a stand for their rights,
they were attanked with all sorts of
deadly weapons, by the "Plugs,"
" Blood Tabs," " Snakes," and theirs&
sociates, and nearly all driven off. One
man was killed, and many wounded,
some fatally. And this is the "green
, spot" which Know Nothings Rail higUit
of! Every truo-hearted American must
tarn from the contemplation of such a
scene with sickening mortification. "---

1 It is an neccessary to refer to any par
ticular facts, or to tell the story of the
day. It is related with emphasis in the
returns of the polls of the several wards,
; which sufficiently indicate that many
I thousands of the people have been vir

It is hardly in ta , lte for the Slar

tanced.
Who is itc.;/,,,n.sibdity 7" is fre
quontly asked. We do nut know, and
therefore cannot answer, but understand
that the question refeks to some body
who had been paying,' during several
weeks, for a liberal consumption of had
whi,key at the Know Nothing "Head
Quarters"—said some body calculating
that said " red eye" would have the all
powerful effect of inducing several
Democrats to vote the Know Nothing
ticket. It is asserted, however, that if
there be "a slip between the eup And
the lip," the thing didn't happen to
those of our boys for whOin the whiskey
was intended. They wade sure of that
—and then voted the Democratic ticket, as
usual They were not to be bought
and cooped so cheaply.
We believe it was old Weller that
declared, " whether or not it is worth
while to go to so much trouble to make
aci little, is altogether a matter of taste."
,1 'A rare appeal to the charity of
the Opposition leaders must now be
presented. It is currently said that one
of their candidates declared, soma weeks
before the election, that he "would
spend all he was worth " in his effort to
deft..at his Democratic opponent. Well
—the election is over, his Democratic op.
ponent is not defeated, and as a conse
quence, we must presume that our oppo
sition friend is " hard up."
Gentlemen of the "Superior Council,"
don't desert this favorite " strongest"
candidate of yours', in the hour of his
vexation ; bat be sure to administer,
with whatever of consolation you may
deem fitting, this piece of wholesome
advice: "
.Never make rash promises."
AirAi the Opposition " ..11a88 Meet
ing" in this plaoo some three weeks ago,
D. A. Buehler introduced Mr. WlLltur
as "the next Governor of Pennsyl

or the next next, or the next next msxr
-NEXT XEXT7 He must be bad at
guessing, or didn't " say" out. all he

lean to thb likelihood that somebody else
than the father of the " Proviso" is
chosen "the next Governor of Pennsyl

ftrAs was generally suspected would
be the case, the " Molly Maguire" nags
of the Know Nothings and Mack Re
publicans couldn't "make time." They
lacked speed, and had tea much wind—
ail wind—" sound and fury, signifying
nothing." They were kept on bad po
litiesl fodder, and it is therefore not to
he wondered at that they were unfit to
travel the " hard road to Jordan."

"Molly Maguire."
fiv`When it t became evident to the
Opposition leaders, some three weeks
ago, that the people of the county would
find out all about Mr. Mussr.vsimes
votes iq the Legislature last winter,
they started the " Molly Maguire" (or
second 4 ‘ Peg Beatty") story, with 110
hope that the prospects of Mr. IVRA:
who is a Catholic, might he sufficiently
damaged,thereby to secure the re-elee
tion of their man..l3atdict_tinx-desporate
and unprincipled resort do them or
their 'candidate any good? Not a whit
of it The pople were not to be hum
bugged again, and least of alt by a device
so shallow as this. We would advise
the Managers to put "a few more of
the same sort" in soak for the next
heat. They could hardly- do the Demo
cratic party a greater favor.
IfirT4at "veteran otliee-bolder" dodge
of the Star has turned out -about us
profitable fnr the opposition as the
Molly Maguire" business. Mr. DAN
NER ili elected in spite of the one, and
Mr. WILL in spite of the other. The
Managers are not half as sharp as they
used to be.
