SIR; The electors Of Louisiana for President
and Vice President yesterday assembled in this
City and carried out the wishes Of the people
in casting their ballots for james K. Polk and
George M. Dallas; Immediately after a grand
salute Of 10 guns was fred from the Place
d'Armes, and the day closed with grand Torch
Light Procession, for a description Of which
refer you TO the JeGerSonian.
The great question being now settled we can
now turn our at. ntion to Commercial affairs,
the most interesting OF which is the sales Of Cot
ton in this market the present week which reach,
up to this time, nearly $4,000 Bales, alta small

ming the Exchange in London, went of with
great eelat, as was expected. (Ths Queen at
tended the ceremony
"England is unusually prosperous at the pre-
sent time, owing to the great increase Of the
home trade. The Manufactures are in full
employ. The operatives are all at work, the
export demand for Cotton twist has been snor.
nous this year, and is increasing: The China
trade, particularly to the Northern Ports, has
greatly increased, but Il Is believed that the very
low prices Of goods have induced the buyors, in
China, TO lay in heavy stock, 50 that what
amount Of goods may actually hereafter be re-
quired fol that market is uncertain.
"The spinners in England are making more
money now than they ever have before notWitb-
standing the low price OF twist, They continue
10 supply themselves with Cotton from week to
week, without s4insins any deposition to lay in
stock, and the general feeling seems to be that
Cotton win fall to apOint never before known,

MN. AIN DOhLN ANU FhE-EMPlION.
By an editorial within the Little Rock Gazette,
Of the 10th instant attention was attracted TO
an article upon Mr.. Van Buren, and Pre-emp-
tions,' published in that paper, to infer that Mr..
Van Buren, used language similar in import to.
and equally harsh with, Mr.. Clay's "phen denounc-
ing sguatters upon the Public Lands ...s..
Although the Gazette admits rough language
was used by {" Mr.. Clay in dcnouncing squatters
upon the public lands," yet tho article to which
i; refers, does not establish the fact that Mr..
Van Buren, used language of similar import"
We have examined the "extract from Mr.. Van
Buren's Message to Congress, of December,
1887" pointed out by the Gazette, with atten-
ton, in spirit of candid sincerity, but find no
sentiment therein which warrants the inference
Of the Gazette ON the contrary, we discover
only that it exhibits kind and friendly feeling for
the +" industrious settler"-ons wholly adverse to
the fnoned speculator. For instance, he says:
Either the laws to prevent intrusion upon
the public lands should be executed, or, if that
should be impracticable or inexpedient, they
should be modified or repealed. If the public
lands are to be considered as open to be occupied
by any, they should by lao, be Mroacn open to ALL.

would be no poacAing; the law in this instance
