LOUISIANA ELECTION.


The following account of the result of the
Louisiana Election is given in letter from New
Orleans to the editors ofthe National Intelligent
ceE-
81 presume it will not be unacceptable to
have information of the glorious triumph the
Wing party have just achieved in this State
The complete returns have been received to-
day, with the exception Of two or three unim-
portant Parishes. The whole vote will be ra-
Their above 10, 900, of which Mr.. WHITE will have
6 900 and Mr.. DAWSON (the Jackson candidate)
1000. The Wings have elected their entire
delegation to Congress, and from two-thirds to
three fourths of the State Legislature! In this
District, there were two Wing candidates, whose
aggregate vote was 1916, and the Jackson vote
1881: HENRY JOHNSON (Whig) is elected by a
majority Of SIG over the aggregate vote OF both
his opponents. In the Cd District there were
four candidates: General RIPLEY is elected by
plurality Of votes, and not majority of the
whole number-say 1, 1857 out of about 2,700.-
Gen. RIPLEY has heretofore been warm Jack
son man, but, recently, he publicly renounced
Jacksonism, and has been chosen by majority
of about 200 over CHM, the regular Wing
candidate, who injured his vote, by advocating
DAWSON for Governor from personal feelings"
"In the Sd District, Mr.. Garland is reelected
by large majority over Gen. Walker the
State, and who was, from those causes, selected
last winter to run against Judge Porter for the
United States Senate. Nothing can exceed the
dismay of our opponents, particularly in the Cl-
ty vote, where they have invariably carried their
ticket since 1925, and now to be beaten by near
ly two to one, (s5s to 542.) is what they cannot
understand"
"You may put it down as certain that the
Jackson party is dead in Louisiana never again
to revive. This defeat drives hundreds of
wavering votes from their ranks to the Wings"
AS soon as the Governor elect arrives from
Washington, grand Jubilee will be given in
honor Of our triumph. May our sister States
follow the example that Louisiana has set them
in the first general election that has taken
place since the C. Experiment" has been in oper-
alton"
The foregoing account is from one opposed
to the Administration. The following is from
the New Orleans Argus, the Jackson organ in
that city, which it will be seen, does not, in the
least, mend the matter.

To be sure the Wings haven't crowded over US
much; but their forbearance in this respect, is
doubtless owing to the sympathy they feel for
our unhappy situation"
The election being thus fairly over and settled,
and theJackson papers themselves acknowl-
edging their defeat to "be total and complete"
we may say, WELL DONE LOUISIANA!
