The Election.

The election yesterday, says the New Orleans
Bulletin, passed off much more quietly than
many more persons anticipated. There were no
rows at any of ths polls, so far as our observation
! extended. The usual quiet, incident to such
occasions in New Orleans, was not materially
interrupted by fighting and quarelling, such as
render dangerous, as well as disgrace, to most
of the Northern cities of the confederacy.
We visited several of the polling stations
yesterday merely for the purpose of looking
on and observing how the sovereigns of this
great city demeancd themselves while exercise
ing--what ought to be considered inestimable
the prerogatiye of suffrage.
The spcctaclcs we witnessed were various;
and some Of them not calculated to give one
an elevated opinion of his kind. The weighty
influences, we have frequently alluded to, were
apparent on almost every hand. Honest men,
Industrious citizens, who are willing to labor
for q living, came, voted, and left the respective
precincts, and proceeded to attend to THEN
usual business, as decent men always do
Not so, however. with the laZzaroni--tle moral
black vomit--lhat seems TO be the inevitable
curse Of every large city, giving strength to
Jelferson's s~cathing remark, that cities are but
"ulcers upon the body polite" They huny
around the noble polls. They blasphemcd
every thing that a rigteous man looks upon
with veneration; got drunk when the opportunity
was afforded them, and would have sworn to
any thing for a''consideration.n But, we would
pity, rather than condemn, these unfortunate
individuals, although the city itself, or rather,
those interested in it, is deserving of q greater
amount Of COMMUNICATION. God help a city
when the gutter scum--the moral black vomit
that 4 large accumulation of human beings in
one locality eagenders-take the largest in
terest in its affairs, and give tone and direction
to their administration.
This may seem strong language. But, it is
not strong enough to do justice to the subject.
No honest man will dispute this. As long as
election days are made the saturnalis Of loafcrs
and vagabonds, and as long as money, through
them, can control the balances Of power, just
so long will the present pernicious state of
things continue, until the ballot box in the city
will become SO contemplate and degraded, that
gentlemen will eschew it as thing they cannot
approach without danger OF decentralization.
In conclusion, we wish it to be distinctly
understood that the foregoing paragraphs were
written when we knew nothing in regard to
the state of the election The disgust, inspired
by a somewhat lengthy stroll, alone gaverise
to them.

Fatal O.Ms.-With power and pelf against
them, (says the Crescent in the late contest;
gold and the inspectors, the police and the GUS
tom-house, fraud and force, the bottle and the
bludgeon, the grave and the grog-slop-it was
vel. nigh impossible for the wings not to be
Worsted.
Their consolation, however, is, that these
things cannot continue. Only what is good can
be lasting. Not even their difference in princi-
pie more distinguishes truth and falsehood, than
their different power of permanence. If error
were capable Of becoming fixed, it would almost
cease to be error if truth could change, it
would be truth no longer. If grog and gold
were to become the lords and rulers of this me.
tropo!is, grog and gold would have to learn to
act on some principle; or presently they would
subvert themselves. Thus they must either
alter their nature or pull down their W
power.

A Great Blessing 10 the Afflicted.

o. The number and formidable character of
diseases of the Liver, have long challenged the
attention of medical men. Some of these disea-
SEES, classed under the general term of consump-
ton, have been supposed incurable and the un-
happy patient allowed to die, without medical
science to offer him a hope of recovery. Happily
this can no longer be the case. A remedy has
been found which will cure all complaints, of
whatever character, arising from arrangement of
the Liver. The pills discovered DR.. McLanc, of
Virginia, act directly on the Liver; and by cor
recting its operation and purifying it from disease
cuts off and extirpates the complaints which have
their origin in the diseases of this organ. Rene
dies hitherto proposed for liver complaints, have
failed to operate upon the seat of the disease; but
DR.. McLane's Pills make themselves felt upon the
action of the Liver, and by cleansing the fountain,
dry up the impure streams Of disease which thus
derive their existence.

seemed to induce q wakefnl state for a short

yals OF valentines. until he was brougt home
on the l4th. 1t is stated that he talked very
little inquiring after his mother, who had been
dead years, his father and brothers, whom
he seemed partially to recognise. He com.
planned of great internal heat, and soreness Of
his throat and stomach. On the morning Of
the day ofhis death he called for food, and ate
a hearty meal, and from that time seemed to
be in pain until about 2 o'clock 2. ~, when he
died without a struggle. His age was thirty.

UBy the late arrival from Europe we learn
the fact that the Austrian government has sig-
nalized itself by a backward step in civilization.
1t has restored disabilities which the barbarism
of the middle ages imposed upon the Jews, and
which were only removed by the revolution of
1S48. The Austrian government seems deter.
mined that no benefit shall accrue to any class
of its subjects from that revolution. Hereafter
the Jews in Austria are forbidden to hold real
estate in their own lame, but all property Of
that description to which they lay claim, must
be registered in the name of Christians.

STANDARDIZATION Brady was as jolly a fell
low as ever cast a spadefuI of clay out off ditch
and he was bound to "enjoy life" if there was
any way of doing it. When Tom was young
he always took the lead in the sprees and "bits
of fun" which were got up among his acquain-
lance. Many a friend had Tom, and we might
add that he had a few enemies, for he never
left q row without giving somebody a broken
nose. But at last, Tom was sobered, and, as
he often remarked, "was clean beat" for he fell
in love with Il woman and married her, "with-
out iyer askin' il she was Irish" The 'divil 4
bit" Of peace had Tom from that day, for she
could scold like all creation.
One day 4 friend hearing her "go on" for a
while, sIyly Intercepted Tom as to her nation
ally.
"Faith, an its mcseIf that would like to know
that same" said Tom. "Och hone; that ! liver
should have married her without askin' if she
was Of any nation at all at ALL"
why, Tom, isn't she Irish?"
