ONWARD COURSE OF FDEMOCRACYN MORT
AND SOUTH

CITY of New Orleans will be thatthe Democratic
cause is gaining strength daily and thatit will contin-
ue to do so until the great contest is decided we feel as
confident as that the Sun rises IN the East AT the mu-
nicpal election held in that city on the LIST of April the
ballot boxes show the following handsome Democratic
triumphs:
Edgar M6negu is elected Mayor by majority of
3Oi votes over William Frere, the present Mayor who
is confessedly the strongest candidate the wings could
have brought forward.
Joseph Genois is reelected Recorder of the first num-
itipality, without opposition.
Washington Lewis elected Recorder OF the third
municipality by majority of about 1S0 over Mr.. Via
vani the present Recorder.
Messra. Monegut, Genois and Lewis are staunch
democrats.
In the First Municipality Council, there are also 8
democrats 10 wings. H.,
Inthe Third Municipality Council, there is only one
whig member out of seven.
The Courier says;-It is only in the second munich
paly that the wings have succeeded and that they have
done by unlawully excluding voters from thepos and
even this success is transient for as Mr. Peters
has bankruped the finances of that municipality, the
wings will be defeated there next July.
This results the more important from the fact that
the most desperate exerons made on the part OF
the Wings to regain the laurels they lost few weeks
since, when Mr. Clay himself was present in the con-
test-ufsing them to eo ahead" and since that time,
heyhav been attempting to explain away his and their
defeat by the cry Of 'llega voting" and using every
means to prove by victory at this time, that they and
he were unfairly beaten at the previous election, but
they have ly!totay failed broken down
and dsheartened! They had all in their fayor-ercpt
gVc. They had the appointing of the judges of the el-
ections and they appointed all whigs instead of one Of
each party alternately These whig judges rejectedfve
hundred and sixty democratic voes-fve hundred and
ten in the second municipality and fifty in the first and
third municipalities.
Last year the wings elected their candidate for mayor
mr. Feret, ran by them again at this election two of
the three recorders ohe twelve members othe gen
eral council and twenty five of the thirtyone aldermen
AT the last presidential election he whg majority in the
city New Orleans was 933; and at the July election
preceding the presidential election the wings succeeded
in the city by eleven hundred and odd maotiy. At this
election the naturallzed citizens had been permitted to
vote, the democratic majority in the city would have ex-
Eceeded seven hundred Be remembered that the for
egners who were refused vote on the first Instant,
were naturalizedby wig Judge; and large if not the
larger portion of them as has been proved before the
State Legislature, naturazed by officer OF the
"Clay club under the instructions and at the expense
of the Clay club" These men all voted about month
lago at New Orleans The wings made no objection to
their votes until after the election when they houghtthe
polls showed that majority of them voted the democra-
tic ticket.
