NEW ORLEANS A WHIC CITY

NEW ORLEANS A WING CITY,
The result of the election on Monday, is one up-
on which we can justly demand the congratulations
OF our friends throughout the Union. View it as
we may, it is most signal and glorious triumph;
achieved at a moment when our friends, at home
and abroad, had made up their minds for defeat
Here it was, that John Tlers reasonable treaty of
annexation was to sweep every thing before it.
Here in the city of New Orleans, the Texas fever
was to burE up every vestige of Whiggerv, and
leave the ground fresh and clear for that interest
ing plant called the Polk stalk! The Loco Focos
abandoned every other question, they gave up all
their principles, and made the issue Poll, Dallas
and TEXAS! 1t was their war cry throughout the
fight; they rallied under the Texas banner, and
under it they have been wofnlly beaten. In spite
OF thefraud and violence they practiced at the polls
in spite OF the hundreds of good Wing voters who
have been DISTINGUISHED, we have routed Loco Fo-
coism and 7eras. We have demonstrated that
NEW ORLEANS is A WING CITY, and we now
pledge EIGHT HUNDRED MAJORITY for HEM

than ose votes absent from the city, almost with
out organization, at time when few of our friends
deemed II possible for us to make even a decent

crowned with laurels of victory! We have rcyo-
iutionized the city; and but for the outraees COM
mHtea by the Loco Foco judges, in closing the
polls IN some Of our strongest Wards, we should
nave e.ectea our WHOLE TICKET by from 800 10

with the ballot boxes closed on us in OUT strong
Places and fighting the enemy hand to hand in h;s
own quarters, we have elected SEVEN OF THE
TEN MEMBERS OF TIE LEGISLATURE. and

we have carried majority of 10th tickets, and
demonstrated our ability to carry the whole CITY by
a triumphant majority! Polk, Dallas, and Teyas
'defnnct! The big gun has made fash in the
pan and henceforth we shall hear no more of it

ging Rom the results in this city, we have very lit
tie doubt that we have secured majority Of the
Legislature, and teco members of Congress. The

from 800 to 25o, and his election is certain by a
