FROM THE NEW ORLEANS nee.

If there be circumstance connected with the election in
this State which peascs than another the noble
confidence eposed in the principles and und Southern
timen,s of MLIARD FILLMORE by the people of Louisiana
From the of the campaign this distinguished

derous assaults Every appeal to sectional prejudice that
inurae and reckless parsanshp could make urged with
yn1cve malice by bis foes. His distorted, his
speeches garbed, his opinions uuncaed and perverted He
accused of being Thoroughbred aboons and placed
side by side with Gddngs and slade The people Of Louis
lana told that if they voted for Mlarl Fillmore the
horrors of ST Domingo and Martinique would be renewed in
State and thousand caumnies, equally aagrsn, and
false, disseminated with untng industry through every
parish, village and hamlet in Louisiana. But the managers
Of this infamous plot counted too largely upon public ceduy
and ignorance The people of Louisiana the
reasoning animals which Locofocoism seemed 10 consider

cation. They studied his private life and public career.
They obtained the testimony OF those who knew him. They
looked 10 the Congressional record for full and truthful his

that he had been grossly aduced and that he was every
respect, eminently worthy the SURFACES Of the South
The deaction heaped upon the head Of Willard Fillmore

testified their confidence in him by giving him noble
joy They have evnced their contempt for his andercrs

JUDGE STORY AND GEN. TAYLOR.

In the third volume of Judge SToRys Common
taries on the Constitution, of the United States, al
ter most thorough analysis of the organization
of the Executive Department, and The duties and
powers of the President, the learned author con-
cludes with the following words, n which he has
unconsciously sketched man known as ZACHARY
TAYLoR.-LouiSuMe Journal.
"Thus is closed the examination of the rights,
powers, and duties of the Executive Department.
Unless my judgment has been unduly biased, |
think it will be impossible to withhold from this
part of the constitution tribute of profound re-
spect, if not of the lveliest admiration. All that
seems desirable in order TO CRAFTY the hopes, Sc
care the reverence, and sustain the dignity Of
the nation, is that it should always be occupied
by man of elevated talents, of ripe virtues, of
sincorruptible integrity, and Of tried patriotism /:
one who shall forget his own interests, and re-
member that he represents not a party bit the
Uhoie nation one whose fame may be rested
with poserty, not upon the false eulogies Of ia
vorites, but upon the solid merit of having pre-
served the glory and enhanced the prosperity of
the country"

THE TEN-HoURs' REVOLUTION.

History records no political revolution (says the
Cincinnati Gazette) as thorough, as extensive, as
decisive, as quiet and orderly, and yet as sublime
and glorious as that effected IN the seventh of No
vember instant by the ireemel of this republic. 1t
was a revolution accomplished in ten hours. Three
millions of freemen assembletogeth in thirty diff
feren States on the same day. and with less of dis
order and confusion than ar, usual on such occa-
sions they express their sovereign dspleasure at
the principles and practices d the present Admin
istraton, and proclaim that tie continuation of the
present political dynasty shall be terminated.
No other nation on earth's surface enjoys rights
and privileges which secure the people so great
an amount of individual and collective sovereignty
no other nation possesses thdinvaluable and endur
ing privilege Of repudialing unialhful public SER
wants and eevating others rther stead pleasure.
We may speak and wrie in admiration Of the
bloody three days revolution, which only removed
one French monarch to substitute another or of
the more recent revolution which expelled king
and substituted civil war, aiarchy, martial law, q
present insecurity of life AMI property, and alright
full future. But what is allths in contrast with the
peaceful, constitutional, and sublime uprising Of
three millions Of freemen, representing twenty mil
lions of people, and in ten hours changing the po
litcal policy of the Government?

MASSACHUSETTS, MEMBERS OF CONGRESS


The Wings have succeeded in eecting six Of
their candidates for Congress, by majority Of
votes, each of them against the candidates of two
opposing parties In the four other districts there
is no choice. In three of them the Wing candi-
dates have large plurality of votes. In one dis
trict only the Free Soil candidate has plurality of
votes, but wants seven or eight hundred votes Of
majority.
1t appears from the official returns that Mr.. WIN
THRoP's majority over both opposing candidates is
1890. He was chosen two years ago by maIo-
rity of 2,60s. Mr.. DuNcAN's majority is probably
500 or 900. Mr.. AsHMUN was chosen in 1916 by
l,22O majority. His present majority will be but
few hundred short. Mr. RocKwELL's majority
in 1916 was 664. 1t will now be nearly equal.
Mr.. ADAMS, in 1876, was chosen in the 9th district
by majority of 2,l6s votes. Mr.. MAINS pre-
sent majority is probably more than double. He
was, we believe the only candidate whose name
on the tickets of two Of the parties. Mr.. GRIN
NELL, in the 10th district, was chosen in 1876 by
majority of 1850 votes. He was now met by
three opposing candidates, and he is chosen by
majority of near a thousand votes over them all.
We doubt not the Wing candidates, as in 1876, will
all be ultimately chosen, as they all have the firm
support of the Wing party, with the exception of
those who have seeded for the avowed purpose of
founding new sectional party which dsavows any
cooperation with the Wing party of the Union.

NO SECTIONAL DIVISIONS.

The election Of Gen. TAYLOR to the Presidency
and WILLARD FILLMORE to the Vice Presidency is
the result of the union of all parts of the country
in their support. From Vermont 10 Louisiana the
American People supported National nominations
and the North gives the Wing ticket as strong a
support as the South, if not stronger. The purely
sectional ticket did not obtain popular suffrages
enough in any State to secure single electoral
vote, aud in most Of the States it runs far behind
both the others. Happily for the stability and per-
petuity of our republican Institutions, the great ma
jory of the people of all the States of the Confede-
racy hold LIBERTY AND UNION, Now AND For
EVER, OSE AND INsEPARABLE." -CleUeldnd Herald.

The forthcoming report of the Secretary of the
Treasury, it is stated good authority, will exhl-
bit the finances of the Government in much better
condition than has generally been anticipated The
report will exhibit whether fallaciously or not, that
no further loan will be necessary, and that there
will be surplus of eight millions at the disposal Of
the Government. The regular receipts of the coun-
try from customs, &c. have been larger than was
estimated, and with the loans already made, have
been sufficient to meet the increased expenditures
of the Government We shall be very glad to find
these statements true, and hope to find no special
pleading or torturng of figures in the report to
throw embarrassment upon the new Administra-
tion-Irenton State Gazette.
We copy the above paragraph for the purpose
of expressing our concurrence in its sentiments
and at the same time, while we congratulate the
worthy Secretary on the rise which has taken
place in all Government securities since the cleo
ton of Gen. TAYLOR was ascertained, OF saying to
him that he will be very ungrateful il ne DO not
acknowledge that the rise is attributable TO the cleo
ton of Wing President That event, it is already
obvious, has given confidence to all business men
and enhanced the value not only Of Government
securities, but, by consequence of all kinds OF pro-
perty Had different result attended the election,
and President been brought into office on the Bal
timore Platform, committed to the Subtreasury and
all its kindred policy, not only would Government
stocks have felt the fatal shock, but it is altogether
probable that property of every kind would have
deprecated, and every department of business and
industry have suffered paralysis more or less
severe and lasting.

The result Of the Presidential election is stun.
ming blow TO the spoiIsmen and zealo,s Of party.
But, after a short indulgence of grief, on sober
second thoughts" they will have reason themselves
10 rejoice at it. The administration Of ZACHARY
TAYLOR is pledged to promote the prosperity of the
whole people. He will know no party in admin
istering his high office. Justice knows no party
and the name Of Zachary Taylor is synonyme Of
Justice. The Democrats in Office who have been
honest, capable, and faithful and have not medded
in politics, or been made the party instruments TO
expel as good or better men from place, will re-
main secure in Office; and such Democrats will
stand equally eligible, in the estimation Of Taylor,
for the new appointments TO be made. There will
be no bigotry, no intolerance, prescription dur
ing the next Administration. The of good feel
ing will be revived. Strict attention to official duty
will be the law enforced upon all Executive Off
GERS. "Mind your own business" will be the
guiding maxim TO be observed by offceholders,
and "leave politics to the masters Of the Govern
ment, the People," will be the restored principles
Of republicanism.
While these saluary lessons 10 the ofiiceholders
and partisans, and these glorious fruits will be Sc
cured to the country, the heartless demagogues who
sport with the interests, the treasure, and the
lives of the people, will be severely but Justly
scourged. There will be no more bloody wars
kicked up for party purposes. There will be no
more base appeals to the worst passions Of man in
lieu Of addressing his reason and his conscience.
In short, the policy Of Peace will predominant.
Industry will be cherished. The Arts, Learning,
Science, Civilization, and Christianity will flourish.
But we trust we shall have other and more appro-
pirate occasions for speaking on these topics and
especially for illustrating what we have here hastily
said by reference TO the practical administration Of
Zachary Taylor.-Cincinnai Chronicle.
