 From he ". O. Courier ot July B.
 Since the results of the election have been known-results, which are certainly far from being suspicious to the Wings, the Bee and the Fropic have been striving to prove that he victory belongs to their party. and these journals have been frequently decorated with emblems, which prove nothing i'll this case, except that the Wings must be in d terrible strait, when obliged to resort 10 such stratagcms 10 deceive the public mind into a belief thatthey are triumphant. What ground have they for their boasting? The Demo crats have elected three out of four members ot Congress--whereas two years ago they Hound | impossible to elect more than one and the Whig Legislature endeavored 10 in- crease their difficulties by distributing the State into districts, in such manner that, as they foadly believed, il would be entirely lmpractlcable to choose more than one Demo | cratic member of Congress in the whole State
 Are we smnned with this Whig 6oasting, because the Democrats have chosen large majority of the State Convention, who are strongly in favor of their peculiar doctrines ? Do these people boast becasethe Democrats ' | they display their delicate embIems because it is still doubtful whether or not the Demo crats have a majority in the House of Repre- sentatiyes-because the Democrats of New ! Orleans have succeeded inelecting three mem- bers of that assembly, where last session they had not q single one, and where, in fact. the Democrats are entitled to the whole number, 1 if the votes be fairly counted, and each can- didate have the portion which belongs to him: The Whig journals are welcome to rejoice over the election of their candidate for the second distrct-but we would ask any intel ligent and candid Whig, fl his party would have the same cause to rejoice had Mr. La branche arrived from Washington in time 10 make q canvass of the district3 We would ask ifthe resultwouldnot have been different, had not almost the whole body of naturalizcd citizens been prevented from voting by the illegal conduct of the Whig inspectors
 But if, through these causes, the Wings have chosen one of the four representatives to Congress, and for this slender portion of good luck, are making themselves hoarse with huzzas5 have not the Democrats at least an equally valid reason to triumph in the result of the election m this city:
 The Wings have reversed the state fittings which existed two years ago then they had all the members of Congress except one, now the Democrats have all the members except one. Two years ago the Wings had all the ten members of the State House of Repre- sentatyes and the Senator from the paris of Orleans; now the Democrats have the Senator and three members of the House, and would have the whole number but for the wholesale violation of the elective franchise by the Whir inspectors of the election
 But the greatest triumph for the Democ- racy, and that which deserves marble col umn to commemorate Ii, is the immense pre- pondefance obtained by their peculiar princi- pies and doctrines in the Convention which has been eonyoked to amend the Constitution. By this result the banks arc placed beyond the possibility of ever regaining the fatal in- huence which, four years ago they exercised over the private fortunes and politics of our fellow citizens the elective franchise will be extended to every citizen of the United States. who has resided twelve consecutive months m Louisiana, and the judges, instead of being dictatoFs, clothed with the privileges of doing what they pleased, will be held responsible to public opinion, like other servants of the people. Here is the true, the glorious, the inappreciable triumph of Democracy. Their maxim is, Eceryttiag for principle, noth- ing for men;" and this maxim has trumphed at the late election, in the most signal manner.
 What Is it that this man or the other has been elected to Congress' The Whig sugar planters have chosen their representative. and we wish them joy of the benefits they will derive from their chotce. What is t that this man or the other has been elected to the Legislature3 The Democratic principle has triumphed in the Convention, and the Con stltaton, the great organic law, which no other law can contrayene, will be of such a nature as to secure the rights of the whole people, and render the banks impotent and the Ahig inspectors of elections harmless.
