THANKFUL FOR SMALL FAvoRs.

The aorgan" at last chronicles wonderful
victory achieved by the Administration in Wis
consin. It says:
ain Watertown, the Wing and Abolition
ticket was headed Anti Nebraska hand
bill was printed in German, and extensively
circulated, charging that Mr.. Myron B. Will
liams the Democratic candidate for Supervisor,
was friendly to Douglass Infamous Nebraska
BILL the object Of which was to extend Sla-
very &c. SO. Mr.. Williams met them on the
issue Of their own raising, and thrashed them
out handsomely. He was elected by the over
whelming vote of 240, to SO for his opponent,
Heber Smith,
Hurrah for the Administration and the Ne
braska Bill The town of Watcrtown, Wis
oonsin, has given 240 votes for them! If this
success does not exhiIarate the Administration,
and put the Nebraska Bill through, we fear
their case is desperate. After all, is q the or
GAM right sure that there was q victoryl Ii
informs us that " Mr.. Williams met them on the
issue Of their own raising, and thrashed them
out Handsomely" How did no meet them
by committing himself to the Nebraska Bill
Of Judge Douglas The organ saith not
Who knows but be "thrashed them outn with
their own weapons
Meantime, we commend 10 the notice Of the
Administration press the result Of the election
in St. Louis. That does not look very bright
for Nebraska. Colonel Benton, everybody
knows, is dead against the repeal Of the Mis-
souri, Compromise is the Missouri press
that supports him. The Missouri Republican,
of st. Louis, the Wing organ thcre, has been
Iaboring TO run him down on this ground, and
has been silly enough to raise a clamor about
Abolitionism Well what is the result Ia
the city election, just held, Benton carries the
day by majorities varying from Ave hundred
TO fifteen hundred, against Wing and Admin
istration repcalers
est. Louis Eiection.-The St Louis papers
Of Yesterday contain the official result Of the
election Of city officers on last Monday from
which il appears that the Benton ticket has
made clean sweep Of all the Offices on the
general ticket by majorties ranging from five
10 fifteen hundred
aThe Republican appears quite crest-fallen at
its overwhelming dcfeat, after its interruptions
exertions to ruin Col. Benton with his constitu-
ents, on the ground that he is opposed to the
Nebraska bill. We do not know entirely the
Influences which were brought to bear upon
the st. Louis election but we have reason to
believe that the Nebraska bill was very po-
tent one, and, 10 o great measure, caused the
success OF the Benton ticket. five may judge
by the result the repeal Of the Missouri Com
promise receives no favor IN 81 Louis The
Missouri Republican, with its scnselcss cry
about sAbolitionism,, finds itself where it
ought to be, in beautiful minority--the only
organ in st. Louis which lifts it's voice to
break the national faith, pledged years ago,
and without which Missouri would net have
been admitted into the ion"-Adon Tsle-
graph.
FURTHER FROM MrxIco Private letters re-
coived at New Orleans, April 18th, from Mexi-
co, say that telegraphic despatch, received at
Vera Cruz just before the steamer Texas sailed,
announced cessation Of hostilities between
Santa Anna and Alvarez in consequence Of
concessions made BY the former Other letters
say that Alvarez was strongly fortified on the
hill Paregrino, and had every preparation
made for determined resistance and u was
the general opinion that Santa Anna would DO
