THE MASSACHUSETTS, ELECTION

THE MASSACHUSETTS ELECTION
Took place last Monday, and nert morning,
the Boston Atlas contained returns from nearly
al! The towns in the State, received by express for
that paper exclusively. We take from the n y.
Journal OF Commerce, Of Wednesday morning,
a summary, omiiting The votes in The different
counties. II will be seen that the Wings have
been defeated BY The people OF this old Federal
Slate--butth that according 10 their Constitution, The
Wing Legislature will make every thing Wing:
"The result is, That there is no choice Of Ger
ernor and Ii. Governor by the peoPe, hui that The
Legislature is strongly Wing, which secures the
election Of Wings 10 the offices mentioned. The
recapi,uaton OF votes for Governor is as follows.
Briggs is The Wing candidate, Davis the Demo
cratic, Shaw the Naive American, and SewaIl
the Abolition candidate:

LOUISIANA.

On Monday, Sd November, this State voted
upon The new Constitution. In the City Of New
Orleans, the vote stood, for it CAL, agains, 800
majority l,345. At Coving,on, parish Of ST.
Tammany, the vote stood, on the first day Of voi-
ing, for 81, against 2. These returns indicate
lha, the new Constitution will be adopted by
very large vote. Strange TO say, each party
seems to be pleased with its probable political
benefit 10 its own side. The New Orleans Cou-
rier says, "the people are now the stronger
They have the right and The might. The new
Constitution puts period 10 monopolies, and its
adoption is truly noble Democratic triumph
Come on, then, Wings, nondescripts, Clay clubs!
Buckle on your armor The rights of the peo-
pie are no more under control, which will be
