| On Monday last "a inst the good people oil Lou
isiana wcrr called upon 10 pronounce ther Eeru'e'
ON tho ne,v Constitution. In the city the polls are
,n,n b,, ono day--in the country three days Inc
y,,, :, New o rlcans WAS extremely hght-not over
fourth OF the voting population; but the minority
!, ,.yer Of the ratification the Constitution fully
IN, 10 one IL is no part; question. however great
" Loco Fccoi-m may desire 10 make 1t such The
rc,n,ns from the country are thus far extremely
m,o.,r, but they indicate similar result. The vote
>,;l he small throughout the State IN the Third
Congressional District. where an election tor Mem
Der OF Congress will bring out the strength OF both
parties.
Apropos q. this Election You must not expect
nny,hug very favorable. The Third District Is
stepped in Loco-F ocoism 70 the very lipsi ana
though we have gallant. able and interchangeable
candidate who. despite the hopeless minority OF the
party has struggled bravely for success. the utmost
we can anticipate is reduction OF the usual heavy
majority against us. John II. Harmanson, as mo
rough paced demasoguc ms ever won popularity
bv haiterinr the people will doubtless be elected
We arr, in the midst of canvass for Governor
and Lieutenant Governor. The contest so far has
been conducted with singular courtesy and good teel-
ing ON both sides but that the Constitution has
been DOTTED it will begin TO wax warmer. NM.
DE Buys the Wing candidate, is a gentleman OF
mature abilities great iirmness and dcsion OF char
ac,er = s,anch Wing and Of unbounded persons!
popularity beloved by both parties, and the idol OF a
large moicty OF the Creole population. His oppo-
nent, Judge JOHNSON is avery able and popular man
who will command the cntre strength OF his party.
Were the contest single handed between De Buys
and Johnson l would unhesitatingy declare the
chances in favor of the former but there Is petty
faction composed chiefly ofW higs, styling themselves
Native Americans" who have taken IL into their
heads to run CHARLES DERBIGSY, highly respecta-
BILE CITIZEN aud heretofore Wing. as thercandidate
and with most gnomnous and certain defeat star
ring him in the face, he persists in his intention, and
the consequence will be that though he will, am con-
fdent no, obtain 900 votes in the State, they will
/ be almost 10 man Hihig coteS, and will leopard
the success ofGen De Buys. Itismortitying beyond
expression that the glorious prospect OF reSenerat
ing Louisiana should be marred, if not ruined by
the political tanatcism Of the Natives. Their con-
duct is the more inexcusabe as Gen. De Buys is as
warmly in favor of a proper reform of the Natu-
razation laws and the preservation Of tie ballot
box, as any man in the State This and this alone
renders the struggle dubious, though we are by no
means hopeless OF beating Locoocoism and Natlvism
both combined OF one thing you may rest assur.
ed that the party which succeeds next January will
probably keep possession Of the State for several
years. This is felt by ALL and will impart enhanced
vigor and keeness 10 the contest.
Yours LOUISIANA.
