The editor of the U. S. Gazette, having de-
cared, in his paper of Saturday, that he was
himself the bona fde author of the article in
his paper, which we denominated "Mr. Clay's
General ORDERS" we shall certainly not so far
rely on any other and counter information or
evidence, as TO express doubt Of his veracity.
The result, so far, then is, that the United
States Gazette espouses Mr.. Clay's cause, ia
yors his immediate nomination for the Presi-
dency, consents to no DELIBERATIvE COW ENTIoN
Of Wings, or others, but presents Mr.. Clay 10 the
People Of Pennsylvania, as the candidate
which il will support, at the next election, I'M
der any and all circumstances.
Mr.. Chandler adds, that he is not I" unmind-
full of the position" in which he places himself
BY his avowal, but adds that he 'preters truth
10 subterfuge."

UOuisiaua.

Now that the Loco-Focos have done publishing
returns of the Louisiana Election, we have con-
cluded to begin again. That they-or rather the
Creole Whigs-have elected Mouton Governor, i
certain; but that the Wings have every thing else
and an overwhelming majority of the People with
thcm is clear as sunlight. The election Of four
Wings TO the House from ST. Landry is now GER
tain, giving decided majority in each House,
and several Parishes not dccisiyey heard from
So Senator Conrad is safe enough; and while Whig
letters assert the reelection of Judge Moore to
Congress, there is no opposing claim Of late date,
40 we may consider it morally certain. But, as
the election for Congress, being Illegal, must be
held over again, this j, only gratifying exhibit
ing the spirit of the People.
