The Election

The election on last Saturday for representative of
the NTH district TO fill vacancy, resulted in splendid
victory for the democracy. Our candidate--Mr. b. G.
Fonieneau-has majority of 175 votes his oppo-
nent Mr. Charles Forstail, the independent candidate
Mr. Fonteneau had majority at every poll. Our read
will recoect that the election held the 18th
February, the very same candidates received equal
number of votes; in consequence of which, new cleo
,ion was ordered by the governor Thus in two weeks
the cause OF democracy gained accession of 75 votes
m one district comprising the old second third and part
OF the NTH wards Our friends aroused to increased
exerons by the Indignation they feel at the cupably slow
proceedings OF Congress- and the tyannca proceedings
OF the Senate against the liberty OF the press There is
no other cause to which the victory of last Saturday can
be ascrbed: and is specimen of the excitement which
pervades the democratic portion of the people throughout
this whole section of the Union 1t is fair therefore, to
regard the result of this election pregnant sign of the
times Our wing brethren in the fifth district we pre-
sumo will hereafter yield the point, and admit that there
no trying to make head against the overwhem-
ing numbers of the democracy. With candidate who
styles himself independent and who necessarily received
some democratic votes, they made poor show against
u.s. when forces took the field with resolution to do
their duty
The democrats ought to bear in mind that the April
election will in little better than month, and that
they ought TO select the best and most popular candidates
they can find The prosperity OF the city depends, in
greater degree than generally imagined upon the ineg
ry and intelligence of the members of the councils.

GEN. ScoTT.-We have received the following commn
ncaton from friend of General Scott and insert as
an act OF justice due that distinguished officer:
''We have read with regret statement in the Courier
Enquirer OF yesterday purportng to give the views
and opinions of General Scott in regard to his future
movements; and also complaining that the government
had not fulfilled its assurances in furnishing the requisite
supplies.
"We cannot but hope that the source of the inorma-
hon was not what 1t purpors to be--the commandment
chief OF the army in Mexico; and we must believe thai
the author OF the letter had authority from Genea
Scott to make the statements he did
"Subordinaon to constituted authority has ever been
the leading principle in the conduct of General Scot
lie has ever placed the civil above the military AUTHORITY
OF the country; and now, when in distant command
ne would not we are sure, tarnlsh life rendered memo
rable by brilliant achievements, by authorizing ponca
tons in regard to his future operations by complaining
Of and taking ground against, the government at home
which he represents in the presence of the enemy"

ONE DAY LATER.

Papers one day later from New Orleans
contain the letter Of Santa Anna, acnounc-
ing his resignation OF the Presidency. II is
dated on the 29lh. On arriving at the city
of Mexico, he appears to have resumed his
duties as President, and appointed General
Valencia to the chief command of the ar
mics OF the Republic. His letter complains
that he is the target for all parties to shoot
at-that factions reign in his country, para
living all his efforts for its saiety-and that
he therefore retires forever from public life.
1t is supposed that Herrera will be elected.
There were only about 1000 Mexican
soldiers at San Luis, and they had been or.
