HuRRAH FOR NEW ORLEANS

We have the returns ofthe citv oIoc
ton which has placed Charles Genois
the Democratic candidate, in the ms
or's chair. There is difference y
the reported majority which Genois
received over the wing candidate r..
Jennie. The Southerner of Tuesda,,
morning makes it lob, while the c.
mercial Herald, of the same Sstn
makes it I69.
We have. the best authority for sav
ing that the reason why the democr1
tic majority was not greater was that
the wing candidate, belonging to th,
Fire Department, was Abledto com
mand the votes of the members of tn,
Fire companies.
Thus we see that Democracy Is win.
ming its way in triumph, overcoming
every obstacle. It is the great triumpR
of principle. The shout that comes
roaring on from the White Hills is an

The contested election has done more for the
cause of democracy here, than any thing else
could possibly have done. Those who ,5ers

Old Massachusetts true TO

The Boston Atlas of yesterday, con-
tains returns of the election which took
place in Massachusetts on Monday, from
2O5 towns, the aggregate Of whose
votes stand-for Edward Everett, 4O,-
8O3, for Marcus Morton, 32,7l5. Ma
jority for Gov. Everett so far, 8183.-
There are about 100 other towns to be
heard from. The Atlas says
"We have good reason, so far, for
rejoicing. The Wing candidate for the
gubernatorial chair, will receive ma
Ijority of from 10, 900 to 1900 votes
the far greater portion, if not the whole,
of the State Senate, will be composed
Of staunch, true and patriotic Wings
and the Wing majority in the popular
branch of the Legislature will be so
great, that the Loco Focos in that bo-
dy will be hardly ofsufficient importance
to be placed OH the muster roll"
The Wings have elected len members
of Congress, several of them by great

elected one in the place of Borden in
the Bristol District-and one Loco has
been defeated in tho 4th, there being
no choice in that District.

TIE NEW YORK ELECTION.

In our last, we furnished the first fruits
from New York, limited however, 10 that city
and vicinity. There was no Southern Mail
on Saturday, and our whole city, embracing
all parties, were in suspense: the greatest
anxiety prevailed as to the result in the EN-
pire State: it was quite amusing, to see
groups of people standing on 'Chnnge, con-
fabulating, and conjec,uriDg but after all,
little attention was paid TO what was said on
the occasion: the cupola Of the City Hall
engrossed oil attention, and every two Sc
conds, people would turn round and look 10
see il the flag was up indicating the arrival
of the Land or Steamer Mail. Neither Mail
arrived oil day, and people hoped and feared
by turns. II remained therefore for the glo-
rons result IN be announced ut the meeting
at FHneuil Hall.
At the very moment Of that meeting, the
Albany Argus, the organ Of the N. Y. Re.
gency, arrived, conceding that the whole
State was lost to Van nBureD-Governor, and
Licct. Governor, Sta,e Legislature, aud a dc

uurTHE MAILs.-The great ire

l1.THE MAILS.-The great ire
gularity of the mails of late, has not on
ly become q matter Of general remark
and of much inconvenience to US print
ers, but of extreme vexation to all who,
about these times, are anxious to be-
come early acquainted with the latest
news. What the meaning Of It Is, or
where the fault lies, we shall not pretend
to decide. 1t is but very short time
ago, on visit to New-York, we called
ourselves, personally upon the editors
of the Express, the Journal OF Com
merce, the American, and others with
whom we exchange in that city, and
earnestly enjoined it upon them to for
ward their papers in the mail for New
port SO that we should receive them,
without fail, by steamboat the morning
after they were printed.-They all as
sured us that it should be done.-Sincs
then, nevertheless, scarcely one half Of
their papers have been regularly receiv-
ed. Frequently for two or three days
together, we have been without late
New-York papers, excepting such as
we have been favored with by passen-
gers in the steamboats,. We really hope
our brethren of the fraternity in New
York will look a little to this, and if
they are not culpable (Which we can
hardly believe possible, themselves,
endeavor to ascertain who is, that the
grievance may be remedied. To show
that it is not exclusively confined to our
own papers, we copy the following from
the Republican of yesterday-the Van
Buren paper in this place.
THr MAILs.-Great complaints are m ade
about the irreguarity Of the mails betw cen
this place and New York, and as we know,
not without cause. The New York mails Of
Monday and Tuesday Of last week were not
received ut our post office until Saturday sf-
ternoon. During the week the New York
evening papers seldom came in the steamboat
mail. The steamboat mail yesterday brought
no evening papers. This is probably owing
to their not being put into the post Office in
time.
We state for the information Of the editors
in the city that the mails for Newport and
New Bedford leave New York in the 4 o.
clock boats, and their papers must be mailed
at least half an hour before that timc or we
do not get them under two or three days.
| When no boat leaves for Newport the Post
Master in the city will favor our community
by sending the mail by the Ston.ngton route
to Providence, where We shall receive it the
next afternoon.

REV. Mr.. HowARD's LECTURE. 9th
er engagements we regret prevented
our attending the Lecture from the Rev.
Mr.. Howard, at the N. Baptist Church
on Monday evening, which VIC have
heard very highly spoken Of by those
who were present. A correspondent
has furnished us the following respect
ing the Lecture, SC.
"The Lecture in the North Baptist
Church, on DUNLAP's PAINTING of The
CHRIST REJECTED, by the Rev. Mr..
Howard, we were glad to observe, was
fashionably and numerously attended.
The centre of the Church was early
filled, and the side pews, as well as the
gallery, had a considerable sprinkling
of visitcrs. The Choir was arranged
with view to give the best satisfac-
ton, and the portions Of sacred music,
selected by the Rev. Pastor, were appro-
pirate in every respect. The execution
OH the Organ did infinite credit to the
young lady who presided, and the Vo-
cal department was such as to call forth
the highest praise.
Having said thus much, VIC are at a
loss to find words by which to convey
our praise and our thanks for the splen-
did display of research and scriptural
information contained in the Lecture Of
the deservedly beloved Minister of this
Church. His remarks were listened to
with profound attention, and appeared
to carry with them, nay they did carry
with them conviction to the minds and
hearts Of all, Of the solemn and sub
lime subject to which they alluded.
1t is almost unnecessary to add, that
under the judicious direction Of the
gentleman experimenting the exhibi-
tion, the Picture was most beautifully
lighted up"

The substance of the N. York elec-
ton news by the papers received on
Monday, is as follows:-
40 counties heard from, which give
Seward, the Wing candidate for Gov
ernor, a majority of 9497
8 counties to be heard from which
gave Marcy in 1884 a majority ofsl6.
The returns of members Of the Low
er House, though not entirely official
give 80 Wings and AZ Locos. OF the
eight Senators elected, the Wings have
4, and the Locos 2-leaving . to be
heard from.
The evening edition Of the Journal
of Commerce of Monday, contains a
list of Tweniy-i,ro Wing and Ten Van
Buren members of Congress elected,
as far as then ascertained. The re-
naming districts which elected nine
members, were all Van Buren last year
except one. The Journal says-"We
expect a further whig gain. We would
not be surprised ifthe new delegation
should comprise about 20 Wings and
Is Van Buren, men," In the old Con
grcss 10 Wings and 80 Van Burcr
men. Truly the Sub-Treasury has re-
ceived severe rcbuke in Van Burcn's
State. The Wings have already gain

themselves have triumphed over the domina-
ton of faction.
The great State Of New York has been
volutionized: the Wings Of New York have
a majority in joint ballot Of the Legislature,
"a gain ofa Wing Governor and Lieut.. Co.
vernon, and of thirteen members OF Congress-.
This not only secures Wing majority IN
Congress and the defeat of the Sub-Treasn-
ry scheme, but will prevent Mr.. Van Buren,
receiving the vote Of his own State, IN case
the next election Of President devolves on
the House. In short. Mr.. Van Buren, 10 pros.

that the Sub b-1'reasury system has re-
ceived a fresh illustration in queer
wny, to the amount Of fifteen thousand
dollars.
There are OF course no Wings incul-
pated in any of these matters.
The following from the Journal Of
Commerce will serve TO explain the
above paragraphs:
BAp.-There is a most unweIcome
report abroad to-day, nothing less than
that the late Collector Of this port, Saml.
Swartwout, Esq, who is now in Europe,
has left his accounts deficient some miis-
lion and a quarter.
1t is undoubtedly true that Trensn-
ry Clerk is here from Washington, in
conse quence Of apparent difficulties in
the Custom House Books, and as things
appear, there is defalcation like that
above stated. Mr.. Swarwout, we un-
ders,and, claimed TO retain considera-
BILE amount in his hands on account Of
suits against him for overpaid duties and
other unsettled matters, but nothing like
the amount, now apparently minus.
