HARRISON VICTORY.

Never have we taken up the pen with prouder
feelings than those we now experience in chron,
telling the most unprecedented triumph ever ac-
hieved by the Republicans Of Orleans. The
Harrison banner floats from the spires and domes
OF the crescent city. The great mart OF the
South has spoken. She has rebuked TIE spoilers
with the mighty voice. She has shewn the I'M
potence OF the miserable rovilngs ofthe executive
against great and good man. She has spurned
and rejected his calumnators.
Desperate has been the struggle and unparal-
leled the victory. New Orleans has never, I'M
der any circumstances. even to her most favored
sons given such tremendous majoriles. She had
to combat an army Of Office holders laden with
spois; she had TO contend with prejudices, with
old cherished opinions, thousand obstacles
whose magnitude can only be appreciated by eye
witnesses. Yet she has thrown vote Tor the Har
rison ticket that will make the myImdons oil
power quake with apprehension. Prodg'ous as
is tie majority, we rr,dct its increase by hun
drcds in November.

heretofore afforded to the Merchants and Mechanics
Of St. Louis, to prosecute their regular business
as heretofore, willie they refuse to discount the

Now, sir, | should like to hear the honest opinion
not only OF the plain republican suckers but also
of the ''Hoosers" of the Wolverines" and of the
Buckeyes about these tabby cats. Wont they think
"hem animals rather dangerous critters" to be kept
snugly seated within the blue Eillptlcal Saloon p
Wont they object against Mr. Van Buren, paying away
their cash for the purpose OF dressing up these tab,
by-cats in new damask silk trocks? But would
also very much desire to learn the views OF these
plain, republican suckers in regard TO three new
window curtains, bought by our democratic President
