From the Ne,p Orleans Constitution.

The greatest agitation has reigned throughout
society in New Orleans within the last few days,
in consequence Of the dismissals which have ia
ken place at the customhouse, through the in
strumentality of the newly appointed reforming
Tylerite collector, Mr.. Greenbury Dorsey, the
successful applicant at the court Of his accidency
Captain Tyler. 1t is an old, but it seems now a
very absurd custom, to make removals only
when competent successors are duly and pro-
perly provided, but the Tylerite family have re-
formed all that, and little they seem to care for
the good of the community, provided their ven
geance or their opinions be fully carried out.
The following extract from the Bee will give
some idea of the confusion which exists in the
customhouse since MI. Dorsey has been appoint
ed collector:
!" Custon,house.-According to report, the dis
order in the customhouse is extreme, and we
have just heard rather curious example Of it..
The captain Of the ship Orozimbo wished to set
sail the 18th; he succeeded, but it was not until
after great deal of trouble. They first gave
him something which he took to be his clear
ance; but having met one Of the dismissed
clerks--one Of those well acquainted with the
routine-he begged him to cast glance at his
papers, to see if they were all in order. He
found that the clearace was nothing but bill OF
health. The captain returned in all haste to the
customhouse to repair his error. His request
was attended to, but the unfortunate captain, in
consequence Of their manner of doing business,
was obliged to go backward and forward from
his friend to the customhouse once or twice
more before he could get it fairly regulated
| Without the happy chance of meeting the ex
clerk Of the customhouse, the poor captain of the
Orozimbo would have gone right off, and his yes
sci would have been seized on his arrival at Vera
| Cruz"

A CANDID CONFESSION. editor Of the Co
lumbus (Geo.) Inquirer, who has been hereto
fore Free Trade" theorist, thus candidly
abandons his false position, and exposes its folly.
There are thousands who are daily renouncing
their visionary errors in the same manner:
"For ourselves, we are not ashamed to con-
fess that we have fairly come over to Mr.. Clay's
doctrines, as exposed in his very clear and elo-
quent speeches in the Senate Of the United
States. We used to be a toerably hot-headed
nullifer in our boyish days, when our heads
were turned inside out by the glittering bauble
of an impracticable free trade system, which we
were fool enough TO think within the range Of
possibilities. 1t is one of the things that ought
to be, but cannot-until all nations see eye to
eye and a retalatory tariff, affording incidental
protection to home manufactures, is the only
thing that can save US from being eaten up vo-
raciously by foreign States"

means which have been used by certain officers to
persuade and deter defendants against appearing at

The advertiser is not SO unreasonable as to expect
the officer, when he arrests stranger, or citizen, IN
whose promise to appear before justice OF his own
choice, no reliance can be placed should indulge the
defendant by taking his word But it is hoped by the
advertiser, teat attempt will hereafter be made by
the officer to persuade influence, or deter defendants

latter practice has always been the usage and cour-

treason had done its worst.
We knew that the great battle for principles,

not be lost, and the hopes and expectations OF

Bequeathed from bleeding sire to son,
Though baffled oft, is ever won."
The late elections in the States where the
Wings have so gloriously triumphed, will In
spire with new zeal and excite a generous emu
lation in the Wing ranks in other States which
have not vet aroused from their stupor. Massa-
chusetts, which last year faltered and fell into
the hands of the enemy, we trust will this year
come forth separated from Babylon-yea, re-
deemed from the corruptions Of Locotocoism,
and help to swell the catalogue of Wing States,
and join in the general shout Of deliverance
which will go forth in songs and rejolcings from
the redeemed and ransomed. New York, too,
we have strong hopes will come out and sepa-
rate herself, the present election, from Locoto-
coism, and stand once more under the Wing
banner, arrayed against those principles and in
opposition to that party who are not only hostile
to her interests, but the interests Of the whole
country.

THE LATE ELECTIONS.

ILL LA T. ELEC llOND.
II is amusing to witness the different airs as
sumed and the different guises given by the
Locofoco papers in relation TO the late elections.
While some are disposed to initiate Marmion,
when

And shouted victory
others are disposed to go into the matter more
nationally, and endeavor to explain the causes
give the reasons aohy they have of late met with
disaster and defeat, which they might all as
well acknowledge first as last. The truth is,
the late elections in Geogia, Maryland, Penn
sylvania, and Ohio, have been but series of
Wing t,1umphs-every one of these States hav-
ing within the last year wheeled into the Wing
ranks.
In Pennsylvania, the Wings have done what
they have not done before since the adminstra-
ton of Mr.. Monroe,--sent Wing delegation to
Congress In Maryland, they have effected a
complete revolution. In Ohio, as will be seen
by an extract from the address of the Wing Cen
trail Committee they have done what amounts
SO signal, triumphant and complete is alone and
almost without precedent ALI of these things
may be regarded signs not to be mistaken
relative to the result of the campaign upon
which we are about to enter They point with
an almost unerring precision and drectness to
the triumph OF the Wing cause in the elevation
of that distinguished statesman, Harry of the
West" by an overwhelming majority of the
yeomanry of the country, TO the Presidential
Chair.
Wherever the name of Henry Clay has been
mentioned in connexion with that of Martin Van
Buren,, majority of the people have not been
slow nor reluctant to decide which Of the two to
choose: glorious Wing victory has been the
result This is what we have ever anticipated
would be the case. We have been among the
few who in the darkest hours of political adver-
sity-amid the general gloom and apathy which
the treachery Of Tyler cast in our midst-have
never for moment despaired, but looked for
ward with firm, undoubting faith, TO the ull-
mate triumph of Wing principles. Planted ON
the platform OF truth, honor, and justice to our
country and countrymen, we felt an abiding, con-
fidence that our principles would rekindle in
