LOUISIANA ELECTIoN.-ln another column
will be found an account Of the outrageous
conduct Of the Locos in New. Orleans, at the
recent eection-notwilhstan which, the
Wings achieved n victory, decisive aud not
to be mistaken. The TEXAS humbug proved
to be no impediment to the success Of the
Clay cause,-nnd but for the bare-iaced
frauds prac,ised by the Locos n still more
DECISIVE victory would have been the result.
The returns from the Congressional Dis
tricts have not all been received, though ii
is ascertained beyond doubt, that the Wing
candidate, Thbodaux in the Second District,
is elected by large majority over Labranche
In the Fourth District, the returns look ia.
vorable for the success Of Judge Bordelon,
the Wing candidate. First and Third
Districts were not contested by the Wings,
and therefore went by default. The entire
Congressional delegation is at present locos.

the Legislature.
Thus have tho Wings made battle success
fully in the Loco-PoIko section of our coun,

their efforts i'll all future elections. 'TIs but
The beginning of the end"
The next State, in the chronological or,
der of lis election, is North Carolina. lis
State election will! take place on the first
day of August. The Wing candidate for
Governor is Hon. WIN. A. Graham Of Orange
County. Other elections will follow in quick
succession and will probably afford pretty
satisfactory indications of the result which
may be expected in each State, from the
Presidential election in November. On the
9th OF August there will be general cleo
ton in the States of Indiana, Illinois, Mis-
souri, and Alabama.
In the choice OF Electors, Ohio will take
the lead. That State viii! hold its election
on the 25lh of October,-al the otheI
States in November, except South Carolina
which chooses by the Legislature on the is
of December.

More COunterlcilS and Altered Notes.


Hundred dollar notes on the "Union
Bank" ofthis city, altered from one dol
lar notes. The genuine hundreds have
the letter &C" at each corner OF the left
hand margin the altered notes have
900" on the same corners. The alter
ed notes have the letter &C" each side
of the vigne,te,
The genuine read "The Union Bank
promises to pay one hundred dollars on
demand to-" sc. The altered notes
read "The Union Bank will pay one
hundred dollars to the bearer on de-
mand." Bearing these differences in
mind, no one need be deceived; although
the fraud is so well done as to have been
taken by good numbes Of our banks.
This city has been flooded with coun-
terleits on the Freeman's Bank Of Bris-
tol, X. Those that we have seen are

some Of our primo pal brokers' have
bought them in large quantities, and
some OF the best judgcs Of paper money
have bet freely that they were good.
But by examining them at the cngra-

that the plate itself has been altered and

Late from MeXir0.

BY the arrival last evening of The schooner
Pilot, we have received Vera Cruz dates 10

The news of the death of the daring Gen.
Scntnanal and OF the total failure of his un.
fortunate expedition, is fully confirmed -
Fourteen This followers had also been shot
Capt. Petit, the commander of the WIN. A
Turner, and all his crew, have been ordered
to be shot with the rest Of Sontmanat's men
who have all been ordered to execution.
, We have before us what, in this country
would be called report from the War de
partment, justliying It's tquisition upor
Congress for an additional force OF 10000
men and four millions of money.
The secretary first urges the measure
upon the suppostlon that the Senate of the
United States will raliiy the treaty of an
ncxat.on.
In that event he urges that Mexico is, ipSc
f;icto. at war with The United States tina
she has not even to declare war, but Is a
once to stand upon the defensive and main
tain the integrity of her territory. For TIN,
she will need all the aid the Department re
quires.
/ But should the treaty be rejected, he u,gc'
that the Mexican government has still reason
to believe that the design of annexation il
so deeply rooted in the United States that al
effort to effect It will only &c little while
postponed IN any event.

may be the course OF American policy IN re
gard 10 annexation, no one can deny tha
the present Is the favorable moment 70

pends upon making this recovery.
There are many who think that majorl,
o! the members will not vote for an approprla
ton OF four millions of dollars.
Should such be the case, It is conflenl
expected, SC anxious IS Santa Anna to rals
the money, that he will dissolve the Con
