The Louisville Election Tragedy.
It is in sadness and in sorrow we call the at
tention of our readers to the 'Loius'villo'clcctitui
ami its consequences, held on the 7th inst. Not
that we care very much for the result politically,
but because it is the foreshadowing of something
tig j with events to happen in future, j As truth
is not so swift footed as lies, we had to wait for
some days ere we could get anything like a cor
rect version of the matters as they actually trans
ircd.! Those'who were masters of the drama in
Louisville on that day, were masters also of the
telegraph and of the press, and ushered forth
their intelligence as it suited themselves, and the
party they represented, regardless of truth. They
could tell nothing about the causcand origin of
the massacre and bloodshed, only that two gen
tlemen 'were riding in a carriage, and were,fired
upon'-from 'a house inhabited by foreigners, and
that Vrhe'other "gentlemen " were walking along
the street and were fired upon from a Dntch brew
ery, and this was the cause of the. American par
ty becoming so exasperated, that th.cy were for
twine tinw uncoutrtJable, ; Tliia I story Was so silly
and so incredulous, that the most rabid and leather-,
headed. Know-Nothing in tbis vicinity could not
believe it, and like ourselves ngrced to wait pa
tieutly and the truth would' arrive .-i in due time..
It wad the result of a cool and deliberate scheme,
to at?naught'thc constitution and laws of the.
country, If it even should have to be done by vio
lence, cruelty and blood. And well did they ac-'
com plish, what they originally, intended. ,The an
nals of savage warfare, either by the ; Indians or
MexiiMi Guerillas, could furnish no parallel to it,
at least .none to 'excel It in atrocity. Reader, e
ask you, would this American party do the same
thing here if they had the power ? If they had
bullies enough to take possession of the election
districts fn this'county; would they club off every
man that could not give the Know-Nothing sign,
or exlubit his ticket printed 'on yellow paper 1 It
is fur you to answer these interrogatories, we have
no response to aiako on the subject. .;, That these
things, wore partially done in Louisville by this
American rarty, there is little doubt, and that the
total vote in one of the wards in Cincinnati was
destroyed by this same party, there is just as lit
tle. "'And were it not for the superior tactics of
the? 'German party in this latter ' city, butchery,
and blood, and arson would have been a inevita-
Me in that city, as in Louisville.' It was not the
mercy but the cowardice of the , Know-Nothing
party that prevented it. .The question tben'nat
urally,; arises is mobocracy triumphant in the
cities of the United States ' or not? . If eo, the
sooner we diverge into monarchy or oligarchy and
a standing army the better any tyranny is more
merciful' than a ' moo. Our country : is ' alreadj
disgraced in the eyes of the civilized world by this
new party. , Our elections heretofore were con
ducted, with the .strongest opposition, and when
over,' tho friendly , acquiescence of all parties to
the result; was a mystery that no foreign states
man eouM ever realize. The blood of the victims
of Louisville at the ha mis of this new party, is a
lesson that foreign Btatcsmcn can easily under
stand,'' ttr they have always predicted it. It is
aid that this party would have burned the cath
drill, had not the Mayor assured thrm they had
gained their election. Probably it is better that
they have gained it. We would not' like to gain
an election at the same cost that these God-a ban
dy ned, lk-H-doomed ruffians paid for it. . Surely
hc life of. one innocent child, or one lidplessje
inulo burucd to death, would be a high price for
all the oQices in Kentucky. We still think titers
is one corrective left yet, that is, the vigorous arm
of the democratic party that party that "has al
ways saved the country when on the very verg i
t destruction. . We will not be the. first to des- !
pair,' but we1 will not, shut j.rotr eyes to passing
events. . The good sense of the American people; '
stieix; k-eot country ami hcr: institutions we
think" are mire guarantee toi j.rcvent her f rorri
being ' totally f disgraced at home ani abroad by
rufTianisro, name .better adapted to the actsof
this t hew party than the one they have lately
adopted and dUgraced. " It tsair duty here to
"1hiw to the world Utat in or locality we Iknow

nothing neighlors, by vigilantly;. pishing ort the
eoluraa of . the democratic party Ft it, and, it
alone can save the country front uttut; disgrace
an"l miu. 'W have no lean for the result, we
fcave ' great faith in the " sober socoik! triought.n
JCnow-Nothings themselves ; wjlt begin ifi reason
oa the7 matter,' awl will find that there is lit tie
fifference between "them and the foreigner, and
tWcutlfcuta:, ihat ourV-ountrvV grcatocss would
redound to the glory of all, and that her annihila

The cuuolliug -qualities of their hearls will then
predominate, and their energies will be directed
to the amelioration of the condition of 'the human
race. This puts us in mind of a historical anec
dote we saw regaiding the wife killing ilenry,
the 8th monarch of England. He had ordered
his spoil: Anne Rolen, to le beheaded, and went
out to liuntln the park himself fttrd some of his
courtiers, he had not proceeded far, until a favor
ite greyhound had got a 'thorn in its foot, and
suffered a great deal of pain from the : accident.
It is said that so tender liearted was the monarch,
that with tears in his ej-cs for the suffering of the
poor huiind, Iki would permit no person but him-'
self to' extract the thorn, lest they . would aggra
vate the pain. C,This w18 done about the 'precise
time that his favorite Queen was losing her head.

.; " The editor of the Republican is not the
only whig editor in the north who has lately
had to join the democracy, owing to the fact
that the leaders of that once powerful party
have merged it into the abolition Know-Nothing
prescriptive party. , Thousands of patri
otic and national whigs among the masses are
also joining the democracy,; rather than lend
their. aid to the disorganizing and traitorous
schemes of the abolition demogogucs and fa
natics of the north We again assert that
the next presidential race will be between the
abolitionists, know-nothings and dieunionists
on the one side and the national democracy,
aided by all national whigs on the other; and
in such a contest, who can doubt the trium
phant success of the democracy, the party
that has ever upheld the constitutional rights
of all sections of the country, -as guaranteed
to them under the constitution?"

I "We passed yesterday, throogh the forms
of an election. As provided for by statute
the polls were "opened, and privilege 'granted
to such as were ''right upon the goose," With
a few exceptions, to exercise Uieir elective
franchise. NcYer, perhaps, was a greater
farce, or, as wo should term it, tragedy, en
acted. ' Hundreds and thousands were deter
red from voting by direct acts of intimidation,
others through tear .of consequences, and a
multitude front ibe Jaxsk : of proper facilities
The city, indeed, was daring the day, In pos
session of an afmed mob, the-base passions of
which were infuriated to the highest pitch by
the incendiary appeals of the newspaper organ
and the popular leaders of the.- Know-?Vh-ing
party.;. ; . ,. .1: 'r, i ; . - .
: On Sunday night large detachments of men
were sent to the First and Second Wards to
see that the polls were properly opened. r
Thcse men the American Executive Com
mittee" supplied with the requisite refmh
mevts, and, as may be imagined) they were
in a very fit condition yesterday morning to
see that the rights of freemen were respected.
Indeed, they discharged the important' trusts
committed to them in such s manner as to
commend them forever to the admiration of
outlaws ! . They opened the polls ; they, pro
vided ways and means for theirown party" to
vote ; they bluffed and bullied all who could
not show the sign ; they in fact converted
the election into a perfect farce, without one
redeeming or qualifying phase. r , , . .-
; "We do not know when or how their plan of
operations was devised, t Indeed, we do not
care to know when such a system of outrage
such perfidy, such dastardy was conceived.
We only blush for . Kentucky, that her soil
was the scene - of such outrages, and that
some of her sons were participants in the
nefarious swindle. V ) v : , " , , . . .. :
; It would be impossible to state , when or
how this riot commenced. Hy day break the
polls were taken possession of by the Ameri
can party,' and in pursuance of their precon
certed ; game,; they used every stratagem or
device tor hinder the vote of every man who
could not manifest to the "guardians of the
polls" his soundness of the Ki N. question.
We were personally witness to the procedure
of the party in certain wards, and of these
we feel authorized to speak. At the Seventh
Ward we discovered that for three hours in
the outset in the morning it was impossible
for those not posted'' to tote, ; without the
greatest difficulty In the Sixth Ward a
party of bullies . were masters of . the polls;
We saw two foreigners driven from the polls,
forced to run a guantlet, beat tinmereifnlly,
stoned and stabbed, In the case of one fellow
the Hon. Wm. Thomasson, formerly a mem
ber of Congress from this district, interfered,
and while appealing to the maddened crowd
to cease their acts of disorder and violence
Mr. Thomasson was struck from behind and
beat. . His gray hairs, his long public settlee j
his manly presence and his thorough Ameri
canism: availed nothing with the crazed mob.
Other and serious fights occurred in the Sixth
Ward, of which we have no time to. make
mention now , . ; - t , - V .
The more serious and disgraceful disturb-;
anccs occurred in the ; upper,. wards. ) The
vote cast was but a partial one and nearly
altogether on one side. Nd show was given
to the friends of Preston;;who -were largely
in the majority, but who in the- face of ean
Bon," muskets and revolvers, 'could not being
unarmed, and quiet populace, ; confront the
mad mob. ; So the . vote was cast . one , way,
and the result stands before the public.
- ;In the morning, as we state , elsewhere,
George Berg, a carpenter, living on the cor
ner of Ninth and ; Market,?, was killed near,
Hancock street, A German, named; Fritz
formerly a partner at the Gait House, was
severely, if not fatally, beaten. ,: j ' '
In the afternoon a general row occurred-on
Shelby street, extending from Main to Broad
way. We; are unable to ascertain the fact
concerning the disturbance. Some fourteen
or fifteen men were shot, including officer
Williams, Joe Selvage, and others. -.. Two or
three were killed, and .A .number of houses,
chiefly German coffee houses, broken into and
pillaged. ; About 4 o'clock, when the vast
crowd, augmented by accessions from every
part of the city, and armed, with . shot guns,
muskets and rifles, were proceeding to attack
the Catholic .church on Shelby street, Mayor
Bar bee arrested them with a speech and the
mob returned to the First Ward polls ' Pres-?
cntly a large party arrived .with a . piece , of
brass ordnance, followed by a number of. men
and boys with muskets! ,iSIn. an hour after
wards the large brewery on Jefferson street,
near the junction of Green, was set fire to. .t
, In the lower part, of the city, the disturb
ances were characterized by a greater degree
of bloody work. Late in the afternoon, three
Irishmen going down Main street, near Elev
enth, were attacked and one knocked down.
Then ensued a terrible scene, the Irish firing
from the windows of their houses, on Main
street., repeated volleys. Mr.' lthodes, a riv'
er man, was shot and killed by one in . the
upper story, 'and a Mr. Graham 'met with a
similar fate.. An Irishman who discharged a
pistol at the back of 'a mans head, was shot
and then hung. He, however, survived both
punishments. . John, Hudson, a carpenter,
was shot dead during the fracas. ;'" !','- "" .
. .. After dusk, a row of frame bouses on Main
street between Tenth and Eleventh, the prop
erty of Quinn, a well known Irishman, were
set on fire. The flames extended across the
street and twelve buildings were destroyed.
These houses were chiefly tenanted by Irish,
and upon any of tlie tenants venturing out to
escape the flames, they were immediately shot
down. No idea could be formed of the num
ber killed. : We are advised that Jive men.
were roasted to death, having been so badly
wounded by gun shot wounds that they could
not escape from the burning buildings .''.
, i Of all the enormities and outrages commit
ted by the American party yesterday and last
night, we have not time to write. ' The mob
having satisfied its appetite for blood, repair
ed to Third street, and until midnight made
demonstrations , against the ' ' Times11 and

The election during yesterday was, as near as
could ?be, aft one-sided, the most unfair inean
beiDg resorted to by the Know-Nothings to
crowa otuer rou?rs irom tne polls.
In the First Ward, the most intense ex
citement prevailed for. some time,, and. the
polls Were surrounded by a " large " crowd.
Whenever a Know-Nothing voter approached
the crowd he was hoisted right over the heads
of all and landed at the door, ready deposit
his' vote ' Several disgraceful lights occurred,
and one man of the name of Brirch, Who had,
With others chased an Irishman from the
polls,1 was i. turn beset, beaten nearly to
death, and knocked senseless by the man he
had been chasing. ., Marshal Kidd, we learn,
subsequently arrested the Irishman, i ' r ,.
In the Sixth ward several disgraceful scenes
occurred, such, as six eight, or a dozen men
pitching into one poor Irishman and driving
him from the polls. - r , : , ( yr-
In Seventh Ward : everj-thing appeared to
go on fairly and quietly, but in the Eight it
was a one-sided matter, none but yellow tick
et chaps having any chance to get to the. polls
throughout the day. , ,J ; :
There were rumors of a serious dirSculty
at the Oakland precinct; and Marshal Kidd
dispatched a wagon, load of special nolice to
establish order, or raise a bigger muss. i3
in the Seventh V ard, four men were walk
ing along the street when- they were beset by
a crowd, and Iran -.off, one of them taking
refuge in a house corner of Ninth and Maga-t
xine streets.; The house was stoned, a woman
hurt, and finally one or two of the men were
shot, ono of them dangerously. One of the
pursued party was the first to shoot, firing a
pistol at the crowd,, who were stoning ; him
and his companions. Some one 'came out
from a house with a shot, gun, and let - drive:
at the fugitive. The. Marshal subsequently
arrested two of them. ; , j
From the Louisville Democrat, Democratic

No respectable man can think of the scene
of yesterday, without shame. We had a
farce, or rather a tragedy, instead of an elec
tion. A complete system of terror and blood
was established by the Know-Nothing party
or faction.- The details are disgusting. The
lawlessness was provided for by the 1 city au
thorities, in allowing but one voting place in
a ward. ' ; The upper and lower wards were
taken at an early hour, and the middle wards
were not exempt. "'"' -j ' -
We have had no election in any American
sense of the word. Our city is governed,
not by law, but by a set of hired scoundrels
Who obey tho 6ecret commands of lawless
men". It is not worth while to try to disguise
the character of this city. There is no law,
no police, no justice" here. Our poll books
speak not the voice of the people, ; but the
dictates of a;m6b.;
We never beard of such scenes, much less
have we seen them anywhere Nor have
8Ueh ever been witnessed in this 'country.
This sort of proceeding was not anticipated
It came fully up to all that had been threat
ened; and surpassed anything' anticipated,
unscrupluous as we know the secret' party.
If the election in Louisville yesterday was
legfil and rs to stand, then the right of teffrage
in Kentucky is a mockery.- ; There is no free
dom here and no law'."' Scou'ndrelism is : tri
umphant. We have fotrad means to subvert
the law of nnrnbtTs al fire fritli by violence,
and passed eff as legal. If the example of
Louisville were generally followed the liber
ties of f Iris ' country wotrkl be ended.-We
shall hear from Kclitrfcky, however, irf tt few

order appears to have gone forth, and in truth is
pbeyed to the letter, that nothing, however great
or however triflings shall be left undone to win1
that Government over to the interests of the Czar.
Ird John ttusseil and M. Drouyn de Lhuys are
held up by Russia as rriartyrs to the truth, ltus
sia protests solemnly; to Austria, who I fear lends
her too ready an ear, that she is still disjiosed to
forget and forgive ; that she still accepts the prin
ciple of the fur guarantees, and will accept it un
der any circumstance f success or disaster, tinder
any eventualities of the war, and that this tlrelara
tion she will repeat even on the rains vf Bebasto
pol ; and she calls on Austria in the most solemn'
manner to aid tier by her moral Influence, and not
ts, i.luindon her in such a cause. - Aust ria seems
not insensible to this.appral, and t believe it ha
been intimated on her part, that, alter all, what
Russia demands is not too unreasonable. It is
again stated that if France and Kngland will ac
cept thejUrincipleoi the guaranteesAnstria pledges
herself, in the event of Russia refusing, to openly
proclaim her adherence : to those Powers, and to
resist the presence of a single . Russian soldier on
any part of the Ottoman territory . in Europe
What she w:H do in case of a contrary resolve, slw
does not, I believe, say ; but from her tone and
manner it may de conjectured, if is her facility
of belief n tlie assurances of Russia, and her occa
sional disposition to look favorably ipon her cause,
that occasion the anxiety I have alluded to. The
yonng Emperor is at heart with us, but bis rnimi
ragcx malignant, and what is worse, is influential.
Hi's Majesty sliows svmptoms of the incurable
malady nnder which , the King of Prussia has so

the more his weaknciis is manifest, the more daring
are his courtiers. II. 'do Bruek is with us so is
M. Bach, and perhaps" M. de Bind ; but the Rus
sian party may become too strong for them, and. if
the present Austrian Ministry were upset, it re-!
quires no very acnte intelligence to guess wlio
would be the successors. Austria failing us. we
should have all Germany Russianized. -.? I believe
the danger is known to the English Government,
but I do not think that much importance is at
tached by them to it. and I am not quite sure that
even the prospect of Germnny detach! from ns
a opals the stout heart of lord Clareivlcn.' We
all know the insidions policy of Russia, and it
may le uselul to call attention to she object to
which it is at this moment addressed.

On Wednesday evening last, a gentleman

with a sudden and untimely end, uuder the
following circuinsfances. It appears that ho
had in his house a three barrelled pistol, load
ed, lie told his. Wife he believed lie would
discbarge fbc loads. . .She replUd that she
would like to fire: them ofi to which he consented,-
instructing her to be careful to ptnni
the pistol! upward.- She did feo. and two bar
rels went off; the third, ehc told him, missed

ltc replied that perhaps if might not lc
loaded, atfd requested her to band it to him
for examination. lint alas ! for all; human
calculations she snapped it again; it proved
to be '.loaded, and she holding it in a wrong

entered the hear! of her husband killing him

Recent mvestigations in . the city of ,'New
Yorl show that the removal of postage stamps
from letters attd then dropping the letters un
paid into the office, 'is practised there, to a
great extent, chiefly by the lads with whom
they are sent to bo mailed The stamps thus
fraudulently acquired are exchanged for fruits
or other refresh incuts, and then resold below
their legal value to such as are willing to buy.
One individual has thus bought from the pro
prietor of a single fruit-stand' some sixty or
seventy of these stamps. . , r ; M,t
Letters thus deposited, bearing no evidence
of prepayment of postage, are of course not
mailed; and the public, as well as those, im
mediately' interested, blame the P.ost Office
Department because they fail to reach those
to whom they are addressed. - 5
