EoUis.ar,a Election.
Now that lie result e tie Louisiana election cen
have no far,ier effect on tie States which have just
voted. lie wAig papers begin to give it IN TO TIE DEM
cc-at-.
The \. \. Herald has The following:
Tn LOUISIANA ELrcTIoN-THE BooT OK TIE
orurr Lrr.-Accoriing TO tie mos; recent and rel.a-
lie accounts. there i an aggregate democratic major
iy III ,he recen; election m Louisiana If about six
hundred votes. 50 says the Journal # Commerce-
which generally SHOWS mp t.ese matters pretty accu-
ratelv. This certainly puts que a new face on tins
matter. and when c~ontrastcd with tie state of affairs
in $50 shows conclusivoly that the democrats are not
in such a bad condition as we have been led to mag
me"
The Aiadisonian says
..The Wings are exulting most loudly at the result
Of tie Louisiana election. What have they gained I,
One member Of Congress. The Stale Senate remains
democratic by a majority Of one. The Wings claim
to have 81 members in tie House out of Go. while the
Democrats yield item only 20. The probability is,
that neither party VIII know which has the majority
until the Legl lature meets. Many of The Creoles
vote as often on one side as on tie other, being infiu-
enced more by local than political considerations.
According to the statements made up in the Journal
of Commerce. the popular majority is ON the side of
the Democrats. What have the Wings TO crow
about

To be contested. as 1t can be ~satisfaot prly proven that
his success IS owing TO the rejection of tie Elliott

Nothing could exceed tie exultation of the Wings
in the North, when they received tie false account Of
the results If tie election in Louisiana through the
Wing newspapers Of New Orleans. The National
intelligence Of tie lCih instant contains a letter from
Now Orleans. dated July |. giving tie fllse>t color

does it fal~ify the nature &c the Elliott votes. 1t says
tlcy were made BY fal-c naturalization papers issued
by JUDGE Elliott, fr which he was impcachcd and
convicted the la>t session Judge Elliott was in
duccd by agents # the Cluy Club to issue a good ma

this does not in,ald3.c al the certificates issued

and then we viii acknowledge that the hundreds Of

having resided twelve months in the State, are not all
culaablc.
The writer Of the letter assures bis correspondent.
the editor Of the Tntclligoncer. that he may set down
Louisiana as certa n FIR Clay: VIII the writer also
advise his correspondent 10 bet on the votes Of Louis

1t was worth only thirty cents in the dollar.
Louisiana certain for Clay. WHY, we venture to
say. there IS not a man from Pearl river to the mouth
OF the Sabine. whose opinion Is worth asking. who
VIII utter such an assertion. Let us look over the
State BIZ congressional districts. The only district in
which. by possibility. the wings can lain a majority,
IS tie second and that VIII be very small. if it be
well canyas>cd. Bat VIC viii give them five hundred,
which is two hundred more than they can get: and
that Will tie more than countcrtalanced by tie third.
and still we should have left the first, in which our
majority VIII be at least three hundred and fffv and
and the fourth. where. by the most moderate estimate.
