Polk.

Two precincts, Cheniere Caminada and Bara-
tara, to be heard from, which will probably in
crease our majority, unless they have been colo
nized by the Locofocos to greater extent than
we are at present aware of.
By gentleman just arrived we have the fol-
lowing result for two days voting in the UNDER
mentioned parishes:
St. James, good for 200 wing majority.
Ascension, small wing majority. |
St. John Baptist,
Assumptions,
Lafourche Interior, 400
Terre Bonnie, 100
The parish of ST. Bernard has done nobly-
having given an increased majority of some 25
or 30 over her vote of l840.-N o. Bee.

in polling $50 votes, what forms Of law we're OBJ
| served in the proceedings A gentleman informs
Us that whilst he stood by the table some fifty
were taken and deposited in the box, with no 9TH
er question than "what name.' The tickets
were invariably opened, the Judge saying that in
that independent precinct, no man ought or should
vote ticket that was folded up.
One circumstance connected with the Sheriff
is amusing, notwithstanding the disgust with
which every candid mind will view it The en-
gineer Of the Planter, who, by the way, is good
wing, and Kentuckan, asked the Sheriff if a man
who had run four years on Red river was entitled
to vote. The Sheriff, thinking that no whg
could be found in such crowd, told him most
certainly" sir, you have right to vote in the
parish of Plaquemnes but when he opened the
ticket and found Clay and the Union," on it, he
decided that the Red river gentleman could not
poll vote in his parish, and with that ordered
him from the poll.
There were few men in the locofoco ranks
whose faces bespoke the modification and shame
that had mastered their passion for BY any
means. They could not look up from the ground,
but followed, as if by instinct, their file leaders
to the polls. Even JOHN C. LARUE, the leader of
the motley crew, felt, or pretended to feel, abash-
ed. Judge Leonard wished, in his own words
i" that the people of New Orleans would attend
to their own business and let us attend to ours =!
He seemed at one time very much hurt at the
proceedings, but at the next moment, the thought
of victory would flush his face, and his regret
seemed lost in a dream of extacy.
When the boat left Pointe la Hache, the fol-
lowing was the returns of the election, as deri-
we'd from the parish Judge and Sheriff Seeing
that every ticket polled was opened by the judges
previous to being deposited, they may be consid-
cred pretty accurate:
