The ~ O. Herald OF The llth says:
THE following returns are corrected so as 10
conform 10 the most authentic reports. Several
Of them, however, are merely reported. The re-
turns come in most provokngy slow and con
Trajectory Many of those in our summary will
we doubt not, have 10 I've corrected. The impor-
tant error from the neighboring Parish of 81.
John The Baptist, which we published on Sanr-
day as reported Is Wing majority, and now
turns ont 10 be only 30, illustrates the vague and
unsatisfactory character OF Cur most reliable re-
turns
(Here are returns from % Parishes, for Clay
1876, for Polk ., lO9-Whg majority 267)
"The following Parishes are TO be heard from;
all OF which are expected 10 give considerable
Democratic maJor,ies :--Calcasieu, Caddo,
MorehoIse Nachi,oches. De Soto, Sabine,
Bosser Claiborne, Vermiion, Lafayette, Qua
chila, Franklin and Union"
In the Tropc (Whig) we find the votes Of
three Of these Parishes, viz: for Polk, Lafayette
100 and Caicaseu S.; and for Clay, Vermilion
ls nett majority for Polk, ls7-addng this 10
the 80 Parishes reported in the Herald il results,
that in s. Parishes, Mr.. Clay's majority is NJ
and ten Democratic Parishes 10 hear FROM
Though the majority is smaller than we expect
State. The Herald thus announces its opinion:
"LorlsIASA-ALL RrGHT- Such returns as We
have received, and we believe they are anthem
tic, are placed in another portion Of this paper
"The Two parties, it will be seen, are now side
BY side with each other-wilh The strong Wing
Parishes all in, and several OF the strong Demo
cratic Parishes yet 10 come in, rendering the
State safe for Polk by from 10 500 majority"
The Tropic (Whig) does mot yield The Stale;
but says that "lhe game is becoming rather in
tcrcsting, hut rather close for comfort '-It further
admits that il The remaining Parishes vote As they
did last July, Mr. Polk will get the State.

an administration thus conceived in sin and

confidence and support of an enlightened and vir-
luous people
And now, we beg orr readers 10 compare the
prediction with The actual result Rash, as we
were considered at The time in claiming Ter Nlr.
Polk as many as Ill votes, yet we did not go lar
enough We have not only carried every Stale
that we then claimed, but another, which we did
not so confidently claim, viz Indiana. We carry
the whole budget with the Hoosier State TO boot
running up his majority TO lS3 The results are,
indeed, sufficiently remarkable.
l. Mr.. Polk has 1873 votes-leaying MIR. Clay
only %.
>. MIR. p. carries lG states-leaving Mr.. Clay
only 10.
8. Mr.. Polk would be elected without the votes
of New York and of Maine.
L. He has 45 votes 10 spare, being equal 10 the
sc of New York. and The Q of Maine.
This is indeed glorious victory. II teaches
us some important lessons, in relation 10 The mo-
raj force of free people, and 10 the folly of look
ing too much 10 one man, or trusting so blirdly TO
an overweanng confidence in his good fortune.
We trust that these and other lessons which IL
should teach the Wings will not be lost upon
them But We iorbear. We are anxious 10 ENJOY
the fruits OF our victory with all wisdom and mo-
deralion But the Wing press seems determined
10 drive us from this wise and liberal course. We
cannot even refrain from all Civilizations over our
opponents without being iwied with the gratui-
tolis declaration, that we are ashamed 10 crow ;
that we do not deserve our victory; and therefore,
that we cannot enjoy il. The whole campaign
has not brought out more ridiculous remark,
than THIS.
p. S. Since writing the above, We have seen
the reports from Tennessee, which throw lille
doubt over the vote of that Stale though we still
feel confident of lis having gone for Mr.. Polk
A citizen OF Tennessee called at our office yes
tcrday after the arrival OF the Northern Mail,
and said that, in the two counties, Fen,ress and
Lauderiale, 10 be heard from, the Democrats
looked for large gains, and that he still thought
the State had gone for Mr.. Polk. Bu admit that
il has gone Tor Mr. Clay, Mr. Polk will still have
10 electoral votes; within enc OF oui estimated
number OF l1l-near enough, in all conscience

This State seems &c. be going pretty much one
way-lor the Democrats. As matter OF curio
sily we give the following returns, 10 show upor
what slender grounds the Wings, hereabou,s
claim The State for Clay
From the " o. Htrald]
ave have reported returns from Warren
Kinds, Copiah, Claiborne, Yazoo, Rankin
washington Madison and Annie counties. In
1910, when tho Wings carried the State by a ma
jorily OF 1928 Harrison obtained in the above
counties majority Of 1868. In The same coun
ties now The majority for Clay is l223-a falling
OFF of almost one half in nine counlies-and a
loss Of 1910 of the Wing majority Of 1910, of $500
in The whole Stae-composed of So counties.

Some say the administration will not be very diff
