SANDs's SARsAPARLLA.-This is a unitarian age.
We look for the practical and useful and if not quite
so matter of fact as Malherbe, who when he heard
certain work praised asked if it would reduce the
price of bread" we certainly direct our attention
more to the mitigation of actual evils than to the in
vestgation of metaphysical distractions. This is
common sense and true philanthrophy The physi-
cal evil disease, is the most important Of all tempo

THE ELECTIONS.

THE ELECTIONS.
Our returns are very incomplete, as yet, from
the country parishes, but what we have look ex-
ceedingly well.
In the parish of St Bernard, Carlo (Whig) is
elected to the Legislature, and Legendre (Whig)
is also elected to the Convention.
In Jefferson, Bannon G. Thibodaux, our candi-
date for Congress, has small majority. Mr..
Lazer, our candidate for the Legislature, is cleo
ted, as is Mr.. Conrad for the Convention. Mr..
Sauve, our candidate for the Senate, and Mr. Og-
den, our candidate for the Convention, are, in all
probability, elected by small majorites.
In st. James, we have elected both of our can.
didates to the Legislature and the Convention,
and obtained decided majority for Mr.. Thibodaux
for Congress-
In st. John the Baptiste, our candidates for
Legislature and Convention are elected, and
majority for Thbodaux.
From St. Tammany, our information is of the
most cheering character, and there is but little
doubt that we have defeated Thomas Green Da-
wilson for the Senate, and elected our candidates
for the Legislature and the Convention.
From all the Information IN our possession, we
are certain that Thibodaux is elected to Congress
by majority of from FIVE HUNDRED TO
ONE THOUSAND. VOTES!! This, as our
readers are aware, is gain Of one member Of
Congress.
By the time our next paper goes to press, we
shall have pretty full returns from large portion
Of the State, including the Fourth district, where
Judge Bordelon is confidently believed to be
elected by large majority.
We bid our friends abroad be of good cheer !
Louisiana is true to the good cause and its ablest
champion, Harry Of the West She has not bow
ed down to the Texas treason, and WILL NOT
DO SO!

THE MEETING-LAST NIGHT.

THE MEETING-LAST NIGHT.
Tie meeting at the St. Louis Exchange last
night of those good citizens who have determined
to submit no longer to the frauds upon the cleo
tive franchise, perpetrated by certain persons in
this city, was the largest and most enthusiastic
gathering we have witnessed for twelvemonth.
Mr. William Freret presided, assisted by several
gentlemen as vice presidents and secretaries. A
series of appropriate resolutions reported by a
committee, Of which Thomas Gibbs Morgan was
chairman, was adopted without dissenting vote.
Never, in our experience, have we witnessed
the exhibition of a more just and proper spirit
than that which animated the meeting last eve.
ning-it was the sterling old Wing American
spirit, and It's effect will not speedily pass away
The news from New Orleans is up to the 4th
July AS there were no papers published on the
9Th, we shall probably have nothing further until
Saturday evening.

CHARGES ON COMMERCE.

The Evening Post Of late having had much to
say on Free Trade, our restrictive policy, and the
heavy impositions practised on our shipping in
terest by the Black Tariff have been induced
to look into it 10 see if there was not considera-
Bile more paid to foreign Governments than our
own, and whether little of the censure directed
against them would not be of service and have
ascertained that, bad as we treat the shipping in.
