LOUISIANA.

On The 18th inst, the first election under the
new Constitution took place. The Democrats
have swept the State. Messrs Johnson and Lam
dry have been chosen Governor and Lieut.. Go
vernon by large majority-as also Democrat
ic Legislature in both branches. The city OF N.
Orleans has gone tor Messrs. johnson and Lam
dry BY over 300, and has elected four Senators
and twelve out OF the 10 Representatives. As
the Charleston Mercury apty remarks, "Mr.
Clay, with his usual good fortune, reached New
Orleans Just in time to enjoy the defeat OF his
friends"
The New Orleans Jefiersonian of yesterday
week thus sketches the victory as far as heard
from:
PRooREss OF THE ELEcrioN-IHe astonishing
and unexpected Tr,unlphs of The Democraey!-
The returns which have come in from The coun-
iry-alihough up TO this time very partial-show
that thorough revolution has taken place IN
Louisiana contemporary with the establishment
OF a new Constitution and that the party which
has so long held sway here IS undergoing The pro-
cess of decomposition.
But the parish oil St James has done wonders
the residence OF several Of the most influential
and distinguished leaders OF the Wing party, and
where they have heretofore, for a series OF years,
held nndisputable sway.
The Democratic candidate is in minority OF
only II in this parish, and our nominee for Lieu
tenant Governor has actually majority. We
have elected Senator-Col. r. c. Nicholas, for
merly u. States Senator, and now Secretary of
State OF Louisiana-oyer a powerful Wing
competitor, and divided with our opponents the
representation in the lower House. The Demo
cratic nominees for Sheriff and Coroner have
also been chosen.
II The vote in New Orleans, Plaquemines. ST.
Bernard, ST. James and Jefferson, is ir'est OF
what may be expected in the remainder OF The
State, it will be the most overwhelming political
victory ever achieved in Louisiana by either
party.
