Boston, Nov. 14. The Know Nothings have swept the state, and Gardner is elected Gover nor. The Legislature and the Congress ional Delegation are Know Nothings. Triumph of Americanism. The smoke of the battle still hangs over the field the victorious banner is not yet fairly merged from the woods, but enough is known to show that, in the Empire State of the Union, Americanism, on its first, and yet but half-de-ciplined rally, has achieved a glorious triumph. Young, vigorous, wide-awake! representing the progress and patriotism of the Republic, it sprang to the conflict, and though it may not have swept the entire field, it has hurled down the hosts of fanaticism, disunionism, abolition ism, Maine-Lawism and fusionism, and asserted its power in the future to conquer every oppos ing element. It has demonstrated, to demagogues, the per il of appeals to "Sweet German accents" or "Rich Irish brogues." It Has at once, and we trust forever, put the seal of "s'leTiCe and rjt" on ambitions pollutions who aspire to high places by trading and tricking, chicanery and i craft, at the sacrifice of every principle that governs honest men. Though we may regret over candidates de feated hre or elected there, wo reioice at the general result. We sre the dawn-aye, the full morning of a flaming day, when the conscr vntive, Union-loving, law-abiding, American masses will march, shoulder to shoulder, to na tional triumph. Dark spots for the hour may be, but the skiea are opening and brightening, and the watch-words of freedom ring through the valleys, and over the hills, and the armor for the great encounter in 185G, is being buck led on and when the clarion sounds, the le gions will be , ready to conquer. Whigism as known in the past, and sham Democracy, and the foreign league, singly, or united, will, in that battle, be overwhelmed by the Americans of the land. A political revolution is upon us upon the nation! Nothing can withstand it. Those who do not wish to be crushed by it, must yield to the tide must fall in with the current, that heaves and throbs with the re-awa!;encd spirit of freedom, or be swept to oblivion. Glorious revolution! with "America for Americans" written on its front, what millions of hearts thrill with its triumphs and its inspirations! The destiny of the Republic is no longer doubt ful. Her vEgis and flag are in hands fit to de velop, to goveru and to defend her. Once more, we rejoice at the triumph of Ameri canism. N. Y. Mirror. Mechanics, We find in the Richmond, Va., Bulletin, the following beautiful extract from Bclwer's cele brated play, entitled the Carpenter of Rouen. It is a high compliment to Mechanics: "What have they not done. Have they not opened the secret chambers of the mighty deep and extracted its treasures, and made the rag ing billows their highways, on which they ride as on a tamed sted? Are not the elements of fire and water chained to the crank, and at the mechanic's bidding compelled to run it? Have not mechanics opened the bowels of the earth, and made its product enntrbute to our wants? The forked lightning, is their plaything and ihey ride triumphant on the wings of the migh ty wind. To the wise they are floodgates of knowledge, aud kings and queens are decorated by their handiwork. He who made the uni verse was a great Mechanic." The Mormon Temple being built at the Salt Lake City is one hundred and eighty-six feet long by ninety -nine wide.

The wall is to be ninety six feet high, and the whole buil ding covers an era of 21,850 feet of ground. Strawberies and Girls.

At the close of the section in Dr. Dowling's History of Romanism, entitleU "Popery in its Glory The World's Midnignt," the author thus forcibly expresses a truth, which all history I confirms: "Before dismissing the subject of the present chapter, I would embrace the opportunity of recording a truth which it behoves every Protest ant, and especially every American Protestant, well to remcmber;a truth written in burning char acters upon the dark back ground of the world's midnight, evident as the lines of forked light ning upon a dark and cloudy sky it is this: Ignorance aud Darkness are the native ele ments of Popery.

The Newburyport, Mass., Herald, of Monday, reports the death of Mr. Pardon Brockway, at the advanced age of 95 years. The Harald says: Mr. Brockway, we believe, was the oldest man ir. the city. He wa3 born in West brook, Conn., in February, 1760. In his minority he served a short period as a soldier in the war of the revolution. Among the incidents of that service, was that of being cn duty, and wit nessing, with his brethren in arms, the execu tion of Major Andre, in October, 1780.

The Glove. I was madly fn love with a beautiful girL And I fancied my passions requitted; I lived in a maze, a voluptuous whirl, Pool of bliss and in fact, was delighted; At the opera, sociable party, or ball, I was ever her choS3ii attendant; Nor dreamed I that any'mishap could befall, For my planet was in the ascendant. I talked with her, walked with her, sang witH her, played With her little beast of a poodle; And oft, of a moonshiny night, as we strayed, Talked love like a sof headed noodle; She leaned on my arm, and looked upward, and sighed," And seemed so serene and enchanting, That I called her my Fairy, my Angel, my Bride While my heart with excitement was panting. It was all very well for a while; but one night, I think I had drunk too much liquor, I talked rather thick but I felt pretty bright, And my bosom was all of a flicker; In the midest of the waltz the dear girl drop ped her glove; I seized it, and swore I wou!d lock it Secure fn:in all harm, as a pledge of her love So I quick put it into my pocket. 0 It had been on her delicate hand, hsppy kid I I tojed with it, squeezed it, and kissed it; I enfolded it close to my heart, yes, I did, And again to my lips fondly pressed it; So small, and so tenderly soft, and so white, Indeed. I was terribly sinitien, I examined my relic beside the gas light, When !o! the glare was a mitten! The KIght of Kail Road Passengers to Scats. The Marine Court of New Y-rk has rendered an important decision infayorof right of rail road conductors in ejecting passengers from ! seats into which they had obtruded themselves: Two men sued the Hudson River Railroad Company for $500 damage each for assault and false imprisonment. The f.icts are, that they came on the cars at Sing Sing, where they had drank more liquor than was necessary to improve their manners. The seats in the card were all occupied, but a gentle.nan had left his seat to enjoy a cigar in the baggage car, and this seat the plaintiff) took possession of, ! and refused to give it up when called npon,and j L pon tin the LoivJuctor, with recssary asais- tance, ejected the parties from their seats, aud to prevent their violence, confined them in a small room, until the train arrived in the city. For this the action was brought. The Court justified the action of the Conductor and dismissed the suit. This decision recognizes, for the first time by a Conrt of justice, the right of a "through passenger"' to his seat.
