up the District, but from the eloquent silence OF
The Wing Bulletin and the positive assertion Of
The Commercial Times, we can have no doubt,
that Landry "a noble fellow he is represented)
has beaten the Wing Thbodeaux and given us
Democratic gain.
There is morale in this result, which is worthy
Of observation. ltcompetely unmasks The insidi-
Gus game OF the Wing Taylor "no-parly" party.
Three candidates were in The field, regular De-
mocrai, Landry; regular Wing, Thibodeanx,
who is friend OF Mr.. Clay for The Presidency,
at all events in favor of the nominee Of a Wing
National Convention; and Jacob Barker, sugar
protection candidate, VINO avowed himself
thorough Taylor man, independent OF all parties,
and pledged 10 do every thing 10 secure the election
of General Taylor. The three Taylor organs in
New Orleans, the Bee The Bulletin, and The Ma
tional, which daily present The claims Of General
Taylor as The "no party" candidate, uncommitted
10 "party schemes" had here most excellent
opportunity ofshowing The honesty Of their cease
less professions. Barker was the only avowed
friend OF Taylor in the field, yet they fercely
the regular Wing cand.dae, and TO oppose with
all their force The election Of Barker, the Taylor
candidate, because, like their own idol, Old FAC,
he ran as The candidate OF no party, brt Of all par
lies. The effect is manifest in The result. The
Democrats stand firmly by their principles and
elect their man-he Wing candidate is defeated
and the Taylor candidate receives very mea-
gre vote Such is the alove" they exhibit for
the hero whom they profess 10 support! With
fair words on their lips, they aim their pa per dag
ger at Old Zac's devoted friends, and defeat The
very objcc. which they profess TO hold dearest 10
their hearts, But The subject is treated with SO
much spirit and point BY the long headed and
s.rung-penned editor OF The New Orleans Courier,
tina, we cannot foIbear 10 reproduce his article,
written some days before the election. II will
suit other ATTITUDES than that OF New Orleans.-
