TOTAL ROUT OF THE WINGS!
In spite Of the ardent and unrenitte,
exertion of The Mayor. and all the N.Y.
midons of the police of the three i.iual
/, cipalities-iE spite OF the illegal and ty
ranical exclusion Of thegnaturaized eiti
zens from the polls of the Second Mn
nicipaity. from tie polls of the first ware
of the First Municipality, and from
those Of two wards Of the Third, b,
which act Of tyranny our candidates los
at least ONE THOUSAND good vote
lin spite Of all this opposition, the De
mocracy yesterday achieved mos
splendid triumph-more complete thai
unGer the circumstances we had reason
to anticipate. The Democratic oandi
date for Mayor, Edgar Montegut, is e
lected by majority Of about 200. 10
| seph Genois is reelected Recorder of the
First Municipality without opposition
and Washington Lewis. also a sound
Democrat, is elected Recorder of the
Third Municipality by a majority I8C
votes. in the place Of Mr.. Yiavant, the
present Wing incumbent. We have
large majorities in the Councils of the
First and Third Municipalities, and two
to one in the General Council.
After these results. the Democrats
have nothing TO do but laugh and rejoice
rejoice in their own glorious success,
and laugh at the grief and sobbings of the
/ Whigs-which. by the by. are truly
taushable. They talk of foul play after
robbins the Democracy of more than a
thousand votes, and after appointing ex-
cluslyely Wing inspectors of elections in
all the wards Of the second and third
municipalities and majority of Wing in
spectors in the first-after the fragrant
violation of the resolution of the Council
forbidding police officers and other per-
sons in the employ of the corporation, to
NEEDLE in elections-after all the caum-
MES against the Democratic candidates.
and all the Infamous falsehoods with
| which they were assaulted by the Wing
press-the Bee has the modesty to COM
plain Of foul play, because the naturaliz
ed citizens were not excluded from ALL
the polls
But the cream of the Joke is. the Bees
denunciation Of Judge EIliot's certifi-
Gates as illegal and fraudulent, when the
next column of that Journal contains the
Testimony of Mr. L. U. Gaienne. taken
before the court of Impeachment last Fri
day; in which the witness. who was or
is now Vice President of the Clay Club,
says he caused $50 persons to be natu-
ralized before Judge Elliot. under the in
structions and at the expense of the Clay
Club, and caused one hundred to be nat
uralized on his own account. Here is
one individual member Of the Clay Club
who declares that he procured tour hun
dred and fifty of these certificates from
Judge Ellio.t's clerk. and yet the Bee
denounces them as fraudulent.

Complete Viciory Of the Democracy!
The multiplicity Of candidates. conse-
quent upon general municipal election.
prevent US from stating in detail as vet
the result of our victory. We must
content ourselves at the present time.
by the announcement, that Edgar Mon
tegut has been elected to the Office Of
Mayor, by the triumphant majority of
2O4 votes! j the Wing inspectors had
not refused to the holders of the certifi-
Gates obtained from Judge Elliott the
exercise of their just rights, MIR. E.
Montesut would have majority, amour
ting to not less than 600 votes.
We have also the satisfaction of men.
tioning. that the Democrats have carried
majority Of the Municipal Councils.
Mr.. Clay told the people Of Savannah,
that he had 'lelt the quiet repose Of AS.
land. for the purpose of visiting New
/ Orleans on business'-that whilst there
he found an opportunity presented itself
of his visiting Raleigh, where he also had
business-and that at the same time he
would have an opportunity of judging BY
personal observation Of the condition and
progress of few of the Southern
States'-and this we presume. Mr. Cha,

in Norfolk. and on the Eastern Shore
and Heaven knows at how many othe
points. He is full Of such basiness. RI

Pshaw. these shallow devices-an,
this preterce of business, are unworth,
Of the genius of Henry Clay. Instea,
