The Republicans having been completely routed in our late municipal election, are completely crestfallen, and are manufacturing all sorts of excuses for effect abroad. The Times takes one moiety of the blame puts another moiety on the shoulders of the 'bolters' acknowledges their bad faith to the Germans, and thrusts the balance into the face of our Catholic fellow-citizens, with the exclamation, that we must have "Defensive dissociations against the Irish Catholic element," as they are, to "a great extent unscrupulous, and care but little about fair voting." This is a 'grave charge for the Times to make, and we commend it in a special manner to the careful consideration of the "Irish Catholic element." The Times and its "clique" of strikers were completely wiped out, nnd now that the election is over they should have the "moral courage" to own up and tell the people all about it but for fear they will net do it, we will. In the first place a free State Convention nominated Mr. Scott. In the second place the Times and its "clique" would not support Mr.

This was done to secure a new and efficient organization, and terminate the conflict then existing between different committees.

The nndersigned were appointed on this Committee for Leavenworth county, and upon them devolves the duty of providing for the organization of a County, ami for the holding ot a Convention to nominate candidates for the election to be hohlen on the first Monday in October next. The undersigned, therefore, announce that a Delegate Convention of Free State citizens of Leavenworth county, will I held at Wyandot on Wednesday, the 15th day of September next, at 12 o'clock, for the purpose. 1st, Of nominating Eight Representatives to the Territorial Legislature, a County Superintendant of Schools. 2d.

In the third place, those ceremonies were gone through with in a manner highly imposing. In the fourth place they trotted him out in this fix, and proclaimed him a Republican.

In the fifth place, they tried to whip in the old guard to the support of Mr. Scott in this fix and in the sixth place they, by so doing, (as above enumerated) were guilty of political treason. We might go on and enumerate many more "places," but those suffice for the present purpose. When Mr. Scott was proclaimed a Republican, he lost all claims to every free State man who was not a Republican hence the disaffection, which resulted in his defeat nothing else could havedone it.

With us there was two evils to choose be. tween. We aimed to choose the least, and we feel perfectlyi satisfied with the result. We felt perfectly sanguine of the success of Mr. Fisher up to noon of the day of the election; after that his chance looked "very small," and as the time passed on it grew "beautifully less." We entered the canvass with the view of defeating the Republicans nothing else; and although they were perfectly organized, with any amount of money, weJI accomplished it.

The weather is delightful. Notwithstanding the celebration of the success of the Atlantic Telegraph has been gotten up by private' citizens, without the least patronage of the City Government, extensive preparations are being made, and the occasion bids fair to be of much eclat throughout. a re number of the hotels and stores street are handsomely fes-. toopo -ith the British and American iiian.moth transparencies are being fitted up.

The election was a very animated one but passed off very quietly. We have reason to be very thankful for it. This triumph of the bolters and Douglas Democracy is a. warning to the poli-ticans who sold out the free state party after the Convention nominated Mr. Scott.

Tuat caused his defeat nothing else. We advocated the claims of Mr. Fiaher, and he being defeated also, we cheerfully submit to the will of the people, and will summed up as follows:) First. The defeat of the Republicans, Second. The election of H.

From a little billet-dux which we received yesterday, we learned that Mr. Philip Itoths-child intends to make a change in life that inl he tloes not intend to remove from Melodeon Hall, or quit selling the very best of clothing very cheap, for cash, but he intends changing from a single life, to a married one. This will be sad news for the young ladies of Leavenworth, for they have had Philip "spotted" for a long time.
