Tho New Orleans Bee of the 9Th inst. gives the fol-
lowing account of the election in that city.
GLORIOUS VICTORY.
Never have we taken up our pen with such emotions
of thank solving and 10Y as we now do to record the
compe,e thorough and ovotw helming victory Of the
Whir marty upon the GLORIOUS ASSIv ERsARy OF ouR
NAriosAL INDEPENDENCE. Under circumstances the
most dscourageing, we have elected our entire Leg

The vote for Governor in the city OF New Orleans,
was as TO- lows:
H. Johnson, lwhlgI. l22a
A. Mouton, Loco). ~"
In reference to this brilliant affair, the
Bee. holds the following language:
Whatever may have been the result Of the
election in the country land we have reason
TO believe that the Wings have carried the
State by satisfactory majority,) the vote
of the city is all that the most sanguine
Wings anticipated, and more than was hop
ed for BY vast number of our friends. Up
on the morning of the 4,h, we believe that
there were few who would wager upon the
success of tho whole ticket. Some of the
Democrats bet freely upon carrying from
three to majority Of theirs. The appalling
trlumphs of the Locofocos, IN Pennsylvania,
Maine, Maryland, New York, &c. last fall,
and the disasters that bcfcl the Wings in
Connecticut and Virginia, &c. this spring,
had so dispiriicd our friends, that they fain
would let the city go by default. The cleo
ton of Mr.. Canon, last August, and of Mr..
Prieur in April, had given reason TO feat
that the same causes that had conspired tc
defeat Us in other States, were at work in
Louisiana, and would work the same fearful
consequences here as elsewhere.
Besides this, we believe tho Locofocos
made more desperate efforts TO carry the city
last Monday, than had hitherto distinguished
the exertions of that most indomitabc and
indefatigable party. The election of their
Mayor in April, had completely awakened
their homes, and the suspension and prostra.
