II appears that in louisiana, tie administrator
ticket, with few exceptions, has succeeded "
the members OF Congress elected, two, Messets
Gurley anti White are supporters of tho admins
traton, and the other, General Oyeron. lsa iIlenl
Of General Jackson. The Governor elect, Nj.
Derbngy. succeeded by large majority over h'
