THE LOUISIANA ELECTION.

The result Of this election is calculated to
arouse the attention OF the country. Until the
doings of the Extra Session Of Congress, the
Wing party carried in that State every thing
before thsm-G Governor, Members Of Congress,
Members Of the State Legislature, &c. Tri-
umph after triumph attended their footsteps
That party at that time committed itself 10 the
diclation Of Henry Clay. A nod of his was
equivalent to an order. He convoked the party
in caucus, and, there assembled, low and SER
vile acquiescence was rendered to his will
Knowing full we'll that Mr.. Tyler had uniformly
opposed Bank Of the United States, and hav-
ing it directly from his lips. at the commence
ment Of the Extra Session, that to approve
Bank charter would involve him in an act Of
perjury, he resolved that not even the obligation
of an oath should stand in the way of his i'm
perial will that Bank bill of the most objec-
tionabe charster should be raised, and that Mr..
Tyler should either sanction il, or be denounced
as man never was before. The bill was passed,
and The Veto came. Then followed the Mani
festo. which was designed, by the use Of the
vilest defamation, TO draw of all support from
the Administration then the resignation of
the Cabinet, whose places had, under the Con-
stitution, instantly TO be supplied, or The failure
to do so to be followed by the resignation Of the
Presiden'. Fooled in this by the prompt action
Of the President, the affiliated press commenced
an unceasing fire upon him, which is still perse-
vered in. Then the burning in etfigy, accom-
panied ever and anon by vulgar slang from the
lips of the grea, Dictator himself. An eternal
separation from the President was pronounced
by the Wing party. They would not be
responsible for his action-no not they =
and Henry Clay's name was hois,ed at
the head Of every Wing flagstaff through
out the Union. A furious war, in the mean
time, was carried on against the Admin
istraiion in and out of Congress. BANK
BANK (! BANK II! was the only sound heard
amid the croakings Of self-doomed party.
There sat, most fortunately for the country, at
the helm Of state, man Of iron nerve and Of
tha .nnaAA.s n ~r~hlinan principles He smiled
amid the storm, and kept on his way amid the
foaming waves and betting rocks, as if no dan
gers was near. The Republicans of 1910 raj
lied to his support. The old banner of he Re-
publican party was thrown to The breeze. The
Jackson men of 1928 and 1882 rallied to il, and
bore il CALAMITY into the midst of their old
comrades OF the faith, with whom they had diff
fered as to men and measures, and victory has
ever since perched upon the standard and al
tended their conjoint action. So now behold,
once more, the result of the election in Lou.
isiana. Labranche's cl, cIion is only equa led
by Wise's in Virginia. Wing majority of
1000 10 reversed, and Governor White, the
most popular Wing in the Union, is beaten He
who has heretofore been invincible in every bat
tle-feld, is entirely overthrown. The Wing
fortress is carried, and the shouts of the Demo
cracy reverberale through the land. Where
now 10 he of Ashland Where the ins,ru-
ments OF his denunciaton of the PRECEDENT
Conrad and Barrow The first already SEN
fenced to retirement, the last doomed for few
years longer to misrepresenl his State, and then
10 be heard Of no more.
