roUIsIAMA ELECTION

terhaps ihere is adage that has more ftT,if,
III - 'nah uha' " drowning men will catch at
stTaics. The news OF Mr.. Liyingston's failure
had hardly reached our city, I'LL we heard of Binue
glorious yictOry'-kouisiana was for Alan,.
We then advised him to keep cool. To waitril;
,'ic "ho'e state was heard from; that we did not
ochGVe 'iidt mr. Brent was reelected; and that
IN all probability should turn the tables ON him
But lle alderman ran riot upon his news No,r
II appears that Mr.. Trent is out MIR Guriev an
demonstration man, Is elected by very small ma
lo'fy over Mr. Saunders VIC know that ills
gentleman had written that if he should he cIcctc,.
he would succeed upon the Kindness of bis Lat
son friends, and we think that il is stronrIv man
estcd IRON the fact, that out of IImeinber: elect
ea 10 the house representatives in the state lc
fgs''iure, RON Mr.. Guriey's district, twelve arc
| the decided friends of the Hero of New Orlcans
The reasons assigned in Louisiana for Mr.. Gur
icy rec election were bis returning home amou,r
ms constituents annually and his support in Con,
gress OF proposition to pay for an injury done In
a save during lie deteucc OF New Orleans With,
all these matters, however, operating i'm his f,vo,r
he is but barely elected
We never set down Louisiana in any of or,r Pc
Inmates Tor jackson. We always crnsider6d /,
uou1'ni state; but since the recent elections W.,
think II quite probable that we will Oct the e,cc
toral vote. Last year in the house ofrenr.sa,,t
''ives OF that state, the coalition had EIGHT IF ,
Jo'i'y, ttis year we have two Of a iusortv In
the senate, where they had four Of msoritv. The
minority dcntuds now unnu ia, 81 y.e
one member. Va
80 hat when we review the election there win,
ali the circumstances connected with il. the uu,,
Der o. Jackson men tlat voted Tor White and Gu,
y,and also tina; Mr.. Overou has hccn elected il,
e room OF MIR. Brent, wen a. the fact that ,yc
nave majority OF tlie members of the Iegislafurc
IN one house, and quite likely majority in tT,c
o'hcr' we may with great confidence saw that wa
have gained, and are sill gaining ground in Inn
si'e ana that there is reasonable chance of sue
ceeding with our electors. We NAV. howeycY
add at we never old. Hordo we now consider tlaf
te electoral vote Of either That state or Kentuckv
s"eecsSGfy TO secure tie election Of General Jack.
