did. . . • While we desire to repudiate, io the strongest tenun the lawless sets com-: mUted in our Neighboring city, we Cancel but believe that l bo attempt made by the foreign voters of Cincinnati to defeat the true purpo; sea of an election by fraudulent means, was quite as worthy of condemnation as any subsequent action produced by that high-banded imposition. The anti-American press will doubtless grow facetious over what they will call " A draik-bleuy to Sam,” “ a Democratic nctory," or some such.tqkitig.tahing title; but an.election obtained by auch means can hardly be reckoned a victory—it is rather a disgrace. It would be well for those who are continually harping about the proscriptive and persecuting tendency of the American party, to remember one fact; That these riots always happen to be in strong foreign or democratic wards! If the Americans were such rowdies, assassins, and tnurdetets, as they are represented to be, we would support that in the wards that give the American parly.800 or 1000 majority, the foreigners and those favoring the sag nicht ticket would not be allowed to vote at all, but would at) bo killed and slacked up in a pile! But how different from this is the result; In the American warns there is no disturbance whatever, no fighting, no imported voters, and no illegal voting—everything passing off in harmony.

They succeeded by a majority of two, when lol to their great surprise, they ascertained that their candidate was a Know-Nothing. At Indianapolis, on Monday last, the People’Bechet, which was supported by Sam a friends, was t triumphantly elected, by from S00 to 360 majority. The election in Boone county resulted in a fair majority for the American ticket. t In Clinton county the whole Amercan ticket was elected by a majority of ,75.

Reform Meetings of Last Night. Large meetings "»f the American Party were held last night, .u the M-.dudeon and Mechanics* Institute, to take into consideration the present excitement in the citv the destruction of the ballot-boxes and the course that led thereto. Several speeches were made, and a most commendable spirit was manifested to preserve the laws and peace of the city. The outrages of the last few days were condemned in the strongest terms. The following resolutions were adoted unanimously:

From the conference nt Vienna, the advices arc important. The first four points, guaranteeing that the Principalities be placed tinder the protection of the four Powers, was tihammonslv adopted. The new steamer City of Baltimore, of the Liverpool and Philadelphia line, his been chartered hy the French Government and had left Liverpool for Marseilles, having in tow the American ship Ticonderoga, which had also been chartered. The new Emperor of Russia had made several speeches; those to his ministers were mild and peaceable; but those to his army warlike. On the whole, his language is interpreted in a pacific sen«e. The first four points Which had been agreed upon' by the Vienna conference, read os follows; ‘ < Tlie abolition of the exclusive protectorate of Russia over the provinces of Moldavia and WaUada, the privileges accorded to these provinces by the Sultan, being placed nndor the guarantees of the five powers.” Tho latest dispatches from Vienna, which were np to the 23d. say the confdrehco wSs progressing favorably, and tho second point liad boon argued upon that day, or would he the day following, but it would bo understood that the question of peace, or war, will not be decided, until tho third point is argued upon. The Paris correspondent of the London Times, telegraphs to that paper under date of the 23d lilt., that tho news from Vienna appears favorable to peace, and that the people are disposed to believe that the -conference' trill be attended with happy results. Connt Xcsstdrode, will proceed to Vienna, when the negotiations hcomno critical.

The Blow in Ciucinimtl. hong b-.-foie this paper will reach the iircrirle; of its regular readers, the news o| Uic disgraceful riots enacted in Cincinnati on the election day, will he read and commented on by a* large portion of the American people. On the Cr.;t page we give an account of the affair, copied from the Cincinnati Co him turn, ifce only unprejudiced daily paper in the city, and we trust the account will be read by all who wislf to kn«>w the cause of the disturbance. And wc now wish to look a*, the matter, in the light of truth and reason, and sec whether the American party (know nothings;, or the democratic party (sag nichti), were instrumental in causing this outrage on the occasion.

Rttoltecf, That the .American Reform party inttie city of Cincinnati, has heard with naia and regret of the destruction of the bailui-biix and poll-books of the Eleventh and Twelth Vt arda of this city. They disclaim all knowledge and agency in there acts of violence and condemn them in the moat unqualified terras. The frauds which characterized the election in those wards; and the brutal personal assaults which were perpetrated on out American and rrotestant fellow-citizens, by lawless foreign* era and emissaries of the Pope, throughout the day of the election, the attempts that that were made by nteo ignorant of the genius and spirit of our Republican institutions, to prevent na-tive-born and other Protestant citizens from voting, deserve the most unqualified condemnation of alt good citizens. . But we cannot conlllis country of law, that such cicesses redressed by such retaliatory measures, whilst the ballot-box shall be kept pure, its abuse, by. whatever fraudulent means, must not bo redressed by violencc-but rather by a peaceable resort to the courts and to the laws, r M 16 American Reform Party ?i ,? Cincinnati have heard with gratification the determination of the candinates on their ticket, to decline any and every advantage which may have been given to them by me iws lb their opponents of the votes of said wards. ••

In Oliveaburgh, the whole American Ticket has been elected by over 100 majority. In SpaclesvUlc, the same result has been had.

In Washington, the majority for Americanism has been about an average of 60. Euclid, in this county, elected a K. N. ticket by about 80 majority. East Cleveland gave two to one for the K. N’s.

In Ravenna, Portage County, the K. N*s elected their charter ticket by over 100 majority. * in Rootslown, the vote stood K. N. 125; opposition 57. In Edinburgh thcK. K'shad mom than 4 to 1.,

In Now Albany, the Americans carried their ticket, through gloriously. In Richmond, they did the sanlc.

The same paper slate?, “that ataboul fo’ir o'clock* the votes of several Americans were refused or disputed,*' * * : Nor was this all; “The tickets were being counted, when the vote for township officers was on-" nonnccil, nud it was ascertained that over thirteen hundred votes bad been cast —a greater number than there are adult rest* dents in the want—the people became bo incensed, as to f-.M.’e, empty, and break up the ballot boxes containing the votes for the city ticket.." The fact is n:t denied, that hundreds of Irish Catholics were brought to the city a few days before the election, who went to the polls and swore their vote in. Illegal votes were pul in by the handful in the Uth ward, and st noon more voter tern polled /Aon there were rofrrr in tie toarJ! And there were a large number more ballots in the bos, than were registered on the tally papers!! Such acts as the above are surely enough to arouse the American feeling. It has come to this, fellow-citizens—an American citizen can no longer go to the polls and vole for American interests,, without risking his life. Several American citizens were murdered and wounded in defending the ballot-box and their country, by foreigners and Roman Catholics! The Timet, of the 4lh, reviewing the scenes ot the past, says;

JOSEPH o. marshall is deAdi Joseph G, Marshal!,. Esq., died in Louisville, Kentucky, at the residence of Col. R. K. White, on Sunday morning, April 8th, 1855. The cause of Mr. Marshall’s death was Consumption, with winch ho has been suffering for some time. Its ravages had boon stayed, to some extent, by his having refrained from active participation in the arduous duties of A short time since, however, he made an able argument be* fore the Supremo Court at Indianapolis, the excitement of which completely prostrated his strength. Leaving his home for the South, he reached Louisville, where he died.

At the election on the 2d, the whole American ticket was elected by a majority of about 120.

That there hits been much illegal voting diem is not tho least possible doubt, that there had been grievous wrong committed, that the privileges of the elective franchise had been outraged by unnaturalized foreigners encouraged by unprincipled demagogues, there is not the least doubt, but W6 hold that two wrongs never yet made one right. ‘

By advices from SbalesVilk*, we learn that the whole American ticket has been elcted throughout Portagb county. In West Milton the whole ticket has been elected by a fair majority.

Ill this county it is the wish of the poopk that the majority should govern; it is their will that the majority should govern, and though means may bo taken to destroy that will by illegal voting, 1 as was the casd in the Eleventh and Twelfth wards still there is, wc believe, another manner by which to baffle all such means, without recourse to acts of violence, such as for the lost few days have been transacted in 6of midst. •,

Mr. Marshall was born in Fayette connty, Ky., but emigrated to Indiana when young, and made Madison his residence, where he practiced his profession with a zeal worthy of the great success attending Ids efforts. lie was one of the most distinguished advocates in the west, both in arguing the most abstruse legal points, and in appealing to tbc.sympathies of jurors.

OCT It seems that tho deceased Emperor took a severe cold, reviewing some new regiments. His physician did not not, at first, deem tho case grave; but soon a violent gripe manifested itself, followed by an inflamation of the lungs. The disease was discovered to be really dangerous on the 1st of this month; and the Emperor, aware of its character, told his doctor that he felt his time was come. His wife and son Alexander, were constantly with him. When one of bis physicians told him there would, probably, bo a paralysis of tho lungs, he asked quickly, “When shall I be paralyzed? When shall I ho suffocated?” This octmrred early on tho morning of tho 2d inst. Ho then went through religious duties—taking tho sacrament —and bade his wife, children and grand children farewell, giving to each of them the benediction, with a clear voice, and with full and quiet consciousness. Ho then took farewell of all the persons belonging to bis Court.- The Empress, his son, (now Emperor,) the Grand Duke Constantino, tho Counts Adelburg, Orloff, tho Prince Dolgorousb*, and a few others,. remained around him to the last moment. He died on the 2d of March, at ten minutes past noon.

In Royal ton, the American ticket was also elected. In Solon, the same effect was had. In Bedford, the majority was very largo. The Anti-Know Nothings carried tho election in Toledo.

• We stated sometime ago that the course pursued by the leaders of the Democratic party of Ibis city, was dolined (o create hostility between the native and naturalized citizen. The state of the public mind at the present hour now shows it. , These demagogues did all they could before the election to ewite foreigners against the people, they did it on the day of election, they did it yesterday, and they did it last night. Here, where the foreign vote is targe, and the foreign influence great, these demagogues would see the city in flames, and the hand of one citizen raised ogainst another, and riot and bloodshed pervade the entire citjvif it would have the effect of alienating the naturalized citizen from the American patty, and bind them to their own interests. They were the advisers of the German*, yesterday, they have fomented thcexcitement, ond they ore rtspantHle for the ditgraccfulezoctet* which have letn committed. How long will it be before naturalized citizens wid see, that they are being used as the tools of a handful of demagogues who arc using them to keep themselves in office? If they persist in acting blindly, they must not complain at the result. The Louisville Cowirr, in a lengthy and able article on the transaction, speaks out as follows:

jCfT-In Cincinnati tho judges ami clerks of the Eleventh and Twelfth wards having made a return of the elections held therein, on Monday last, the City Clerk issued certificates to each of tho Democratic candidates. They wore declared elected and have signified their acceptance by taking the oaths of office, and Will enter upon their duties at tho proper time.

It cannot be denied that the foreign population of Cincinnati gave grievous cause for the quarrels which grew out of their high-handed jmpudenec. The cause of quarrel undoubtedly rests with the foreign party (or rather the opponents of the American party); and while we do not deny that much blame attaches to all concerned in (be melee, wc cannot so much wonder that the Americans, finding their right to vote denied by men to. whom that privilege had been awarded as a courtesy, grew restive and indignantly angiy at such a violation of their rights; To have submitted to be thrust from the polls and to have tamely allowed their opponents to place handfulls o( ballots iu the box would have been a criminal neglect of their duty. The means of redressing this wrong were badly chosen. Surely the military or the police of that city-undcr the charge of an'efficient mayor could have prerented this illegal and unrighteous abuse of the franchise. II Mayor SuellbaHcr instead of “looking on very attentively/ 1 as ho is reported to have done, had taken prompt measures to preserve the dignity of the city, and to show to both parties that the executive of Cincinnati was capable of protecting the polls and‘ol insuring order and decorum'in the streets, much bleed might have been soared, and much of the obloquy which U being heaped upon that city for her lawless violence, might .have been, wiped away. As this was riot done,' however, there seemed to bo no alternative left'to Mho' Americas but to taka the law into their own hands. This they
