Mr.. BoNp's SpEEcH.-This speech distresses
the Tories most terribly. They are ms much
frightened as ever Orson was at the hideous,

ing is an account ofthe attempts to answer il OH
the part of Bynum and Duncan.
From The Richmond Whig.
DR.. Duncan of Ohio attempted on the Satur
day night previous to the adjournment Of Con.
gress, To infict upon The House of Representa-
lives speech ofthirleen colums. avowedly in
answer 10 Mr.. Bonds, but the thing was unen
durable, and the orator was cut short 10y the
universal loatliing of the members. Ii is now
spread over the Globe.
The parry became very restless under The eff
feet of Mr. Bonds scorching exposure of corriip
ton, and they have made TWO efforts to paral
we its force. First Bynum furteIed, and put
ted ~ staggered, but the facts were too stubborn
and then Duncan undertook to force out, from
his air pump, the windy mass that had been col
lectrd or compounded for him. But all would
NOT do. And how, reader, do you imagine this
rrdonhnble Snngrado undertakes TO neutralize
the effects OF Mr. Bonds physic? Why by show

MIR Bonds speech in the House of Represen
tatives is exercising great influence upon public
opinion. DIR Duncan, one OF his colleagues from
Ohio and us vulgar and audacous bawer as
caprice ever elevated to seat in Congress, has
undertaken TO answer it, in speech published
but never spoken. We looked at it as given in
The Globe, and concur in The annexed notice OF
il nv the Alexandria Gazette.
MIR Duncan's speech, we FIND, upon examina
lion, to be one of the most low, vulgar and abu-
siye articles we ever read. No respectable news

of abuse aud invectve. 1t is called Mr.. Dun

VICTORY COMPLETE!
THE LATE GLORIOUS WING TRIUMPH
IN LOUISIANA Z

The more we reflect on the result of our late
election the greater cause we see for the most
heartfelt congratulations, not only TO the Wings
of this State, but also to the party throughout
The Union. Ii is the most complete victory that
ever graced our ranks not even excepting the
New York election in Nov. 1887. The latter,
was merely for State Legislature, whilst the cleo
ton - in Louisiana, was for Gover1or, Congress
and Legislature, and zoe haze carried the tohoLe
of Them. Our Governor we have elected by Il
majority of 1000, in poll of 10000 votes, which
in the proportion to the number OF votes is equal
to 10000 MAJORITY in N. York. Mr. White
is elected 10 Congress from the LIST District, by
majority of 3 to 2, although there was second
" big candidate running, which materially dlmn-
ished his vole and in this District the eXertions
ofrlie other party were desperate beyond all
former precedent.
Mr.. Chinn, our candidate in the Cd District,
the very strong hold of Van Burenism, is chosen
by handsome majority; and in the 81 District
so decided was the sign orthe times" that no ad-
minisrntIon man could he induced To offer him
self and Mr. Garland, the present Representa-
i've, walked over the course without an oppo-
nent.
Our Senate consists of IL members, chosen for
four years, one halt going out every second year;
only eight of this body were TO he elected tins
year, and consequently the change has not been
so great, rs if all of them had come before the
PEG ple-as it is, however, we shall have ten
Whigs sic Loco Focos and one doubtful
The House Of Representatives is chosen for
TWO years. and consists Of fifty members-tle
composition of this body will he thirty t,oo Wh'gs,

in Louisiana! We have carried The Governor, the
entire Delegation TO Congress, and about tiOo thirds
Of both Houses of The Legislature! Louisiana
