Northern Louisiann-The Prospect,

lOCOiOCOs,
most terribly thrashed in southern Louisiana,
comforting themselves with the hope that General
Walker will receive prodigous vote in the north
| ern part of the State. "We know very we'll" say
they ''that we shall be beaten out of sight in this
city and think it altogether probable that the
parishes in the Second Congressional district will
roll up heavy majorities for Declouet and Kenncr.
But wait until we hear from northwestern Louisi-
ana for specimen of Locofoco thunder. 'Old
joe will get all the votes up there and few
besides" With this ghost Of consolation do the
Locos attempt 10 assuage their suferings at the
prospect of the undeniable and awful discontinue
in store for them, from New Orleans to Lafourche
They think, or persuade themselves into the belief
that all the Wings above the Crocodile river are
about incontinently TO stutify Themselves, and re-
nounce their principles, by sustaining General Jo
-eph Walker in opposition TO the Wing nominee
and genuine Taylor OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES De-
clouet.
We have it in oar power in some measure, to
di.pel these vain and misty vauntings by definite
and authentic statements from well-iniormed per-
sons We have before a letter from Ouachita,
written by perhaps the closest and coolest observer
in that section Of country He tells that in the
parishes Of Ouachits, Union, Morebouse, and Jack
son, full Wing vote will be polled for our cand-
dates. In the frst-named parish, which gave Cass
eight ajority, the vote the coming election will
be very nearly balanced. The Wing candidate for
the Legislature, T C.. Scarborough, will be probably
| re- elected. Union will give Declouet a majority
yariously estimated at from thirty TO one hundred.
lrs IT,,
thst he il very certain Of fifty majority and think
| a good chance for more" The contest for the
| House, between Bailey CIV and Moore IL. r is
/ very animated. Bailey's chances deemed the
| best. Morshouse il a strong Wing parish in pro-
portion TO her vote. She viii elect Washburn NV }
70 the House, and will give Decouet not less than
| seventy five majority. jackson il a Democratic
parish II gave Cas- siItysix ina jority. We shall
be beaten in jackson not more than fifty, but shall
probably gain member Of the Legislature SO
| much for the Ouschita district.
From some other parishes in northwestern LOusi-
ana we have distinct and reliable information. In
Rapides- Walkers own parish-he cannot obtain
| ten Wing votes. In Sabine, we learn by a private
letter, that every Wing will vote the party ticket
| In NatchitOches we have already shown, by ex-
tracts from the Locofoco paper published in that
parish, that Democracy Is in a pitiably feeble and
OrOrn condition. All the candidates for the House
have resigned; the party is skies and sevens, and
| unless il discussions soon healed, the Wings
| will walk the track in parish that gave Cas-
over a hundred majority.
| These facts may serve to convince LOcofocoism
that it il laboring under grievous in regard
70 il prospects in the fourth district II "Od Joe
10 get two-hirds of the votes in those parishes
"A thing utterly impo-zibc--how much OF a ma
iority would he have, when the Wing votes of st
Martin St. Mary, and ST. Landry, are counted
OUT We have strong doubts whether the Attn dis
trict will give any majority at all for Genera
| Walker The first district, we know, will z,
| against him. The second IL conceded TO us by hi
friends, and il may be booked good for 800 fo
Declouet. The third will surrender To the Docos
and il they receive there the heaviest majority eve
cast in the district, they will still be minus twelv
hundred votes in the entire State. Let Docofocoisn
con the prospect, and then 20 breakfast, witt
what appetite it navy o. Bee, oct 9.
