Our returns are very incomplete, as
vet, from the country parishes, but what
we have look exceedingly well.
In the Parish of 81. Bernard, Carrie,
Wig, is elected to the Legislature, and
Legendre, Wing, is also elected to the Con-
vention.
In Jefferson, Bannon G. Thibodaux,
our candidate for Congress, has a small
majority. Mr.. Lazier, our candidate for
the Legislature is elected, as IS Mr.. Con-
rad for the Convention. Mr.. Sauve, our
candidate for the Senate, and Mr.. Ogden,
our candidate for the Convention, are in
all probability elected by small malorties.
In 81. James we have elected both oil
our candidates to the Legislature and the
Convention, and obtained a decided ma.
iority for Mr.. Thibodauz for Congress
In 81. John The BaptiSte, our candidates
for Legislature and Convention are elect
ed, and majority for Thibodaux.
From st. I'ammany, our Information is
of the most cheering character, and there
is but little doubt that we have defeated
Tbos. Green Davidson for the Senate,
and elected our candidates for the Legs
lature and the Convention.
From all the Information IN our pos.
session, we are certain that Thibodaux is
elected 10 Congress by majority Of from
fue hundred TO one thousand roteS This
as our readers are aware, is gain Of
one member of Congress.
By the time our next paper goes tc
press, we shall have pretty full returns
from large portion of the State, includ
ing the Fourth district, where Judge Dor.
delon is confidently believed to be elected
by large majority.
We bid our friends abroad, be OF good
cheer ,--Louisana is true to the good
cause and its ablest champion, Harry Of
the West! She has not bowed down &c
the Texas treason, and ioW not do So
LATER.
The New Orleans Bee Of the 9th in
stan, has the following returns. They
are very cheering for the cause oil The
Wings and the country;
THE ELECTION.
We have the satisfaction Of announc'
ing 10 the Wings of Louisiana and the
Union the political regeneration OF the
Second Congressional District. BANNoN
G. THIBopAUx (Whig) has beaten .ALCEE
LABRAcuE nearly SIX HUNDRED votes
showing a Wing gan in one District OF
SEVEN HUNDRED. This result is an
unerring indication Of the sentiments oil
the State, clears away every lingering
doubt of the true Wing faith Of Louisiana.
Her Electoral vote viii be cast for HIM
RY CLAY as surely as November comes.
Bu, for the manner in which one half the
Wings ofthe Second Municipality were
n derrauded of their suffrage, Mr.. TmBo
DAux's maiority would have been large
by two hundred. Despite, however, o
every obstacle, and Texas to boot, We
have achieved great and glorious victo
y ny.
With respect to the State at large, It II
yet difficult 10 forete)l the result. Thus
far the returns are exceedingly favorable
Except in the city, where outraged onC
wrong are ,olerted, the Wings have
