Richmond, Va, Tuesday, Dee. A.
A anew ORLEANS" VICTORY.

leges throughout the Union will meet to put the last
seal upon the will of the people.
Andrew Jackson will receive 2I9 votes Such
are the fruits of The services he has rendered to his
country. Such the defeat of the most extraordinary
coalition which has ever been formed against any
AMERICAN citizen! Never, perhaps, (says MIR. Van
Buren mt the splendid dinner of Tamnany Hall OH
Monday last,) never has there been an election i'm
this country, in which the public mind has been so
universally impressed with the conviction that the
contest was one of principle, as that through which
we have Just passed Never one by which the po-
litical caudron has been more deeply and thorough
ly disturbed, and which has brought those senti-
lncns and feelings which always at work TO en-
barrass and TO counterfeit the free and liberal prnci-
pies upon which our government is founded into
stronger and holder relief" In this boiling caul-
dron we saw every species of venomous elements
comblned-Caylsma and Anti NIasonry-the corrup-
tons of the National Bank-discarded officers and
AMBITIOUS aspirants-the organs of the Tariff and
those of Nullificati ,n-every extreme of principle
ana every fragment ofparty cast together for Gen.
destruction. But he has risen triumphant over all
ms enemiesAfor, the people We're on his side-und
this day, the voice of nation will be pronounced
through their Legitimate organs, in favor of his bril-
liant reelection.
And honor, too, will be paid to another citizen
whom every effort has been made to dishonor and
to defeat. Martin Van Buren, will he elected Vice
President OF the IT, S. by at least 1S9 votes 1t is
thus the People render justice 10 man who has
served them we-and ii is thus that his enemies
have the "poisoned chalice commended to their own
lips" While such ambitious aspirants us Clay, and
Webster, and Calhoun, and such miserable tools as
Miller and PondeXter, and Moore, were seeking to
disgrace him 10y recalling him from London little
did they dream of the retribution which awaited
them. Little did they suspect that the Just ven
geance OF an indignant people would defeat their
Vaccinations, by placing them the very CITIZEN
whom they were attempting to Danish TO an inolo-
rlous retirement
And now, while this splendid victory is browning
the efforts Of the Republican party, may well n
muse ourselves with some of the foregone predic-
lions OF the wiseacres of the Opposition. Among
these, none is more remarkable than an extract of a
letter from washington, of the 10th September -
published in the providence Journal" of the 9TH
The object of this unfortunate Correspondents was
to ridicue the calculations we had made of the re-
suit of the election. The writer is pleased to term
us 'the Scion of the Richmond Enqurer'-but we
cannot return the compliment; as he has proved
himself neither Scion in prophecy nor a Solomon
III council.-But hear him!

NOW, how does the prediction tally with the fact?
we did honestly believe that Gen. jackson would
receive t'co hundred and nineteen Electoral Votes
ana we feel no rebuke from conscience, which
dictated seriously what the tongue frankly uttered
And what will turn out to be the fact? That Cen
Jackson will receive precisely the t,Uo h,tadred and
nineteen UoteS. There is only variation in the votes
OF four States, from orr statement in Septcmbcr-
but what he has lost in one, lie has gained in ;lree
others
While noticing these seers in II. Island, we may
be permitted TO wonder what has become of that
other surprising prophet ofProvdence-Judge Mar
tin When does Inc mount tie "steeple' again-and
utter his inlallibe vaccinations? He predicted some
three years ago that Gen. Jackson would not he re-
eected-and he was as confident of the success of
his prophesy then as lie had uniformly been OH all
other occasions. Is it that the genius of Jackson
alone can rebuke the prophetic spirit of Martin?
