isiana, from the worse bondage and
slavery ever inflicted on people, in
this, the nineteenth century, we have
full and nearly complete returns 81
the elections, which in due coutse
came off on Tuesday, the Sd inst, h
% States of the Union. This cleo.
tion was for 212 Members to + b e
44th Congress, and for Governors and
Members of the Legislature in many
of them. The next Congress is com
posed of 292 members, of which up
to the recent elections 63 members
had already been elected, 80 Radicals
and 80 Democrats. These States in
the present or 43d. Congress were
represented by 46 Radicals and II
Democrats, and the Radicals had a
majority in this House Of 1Q1 mem
bers. But now this is all changed
and reversed, the under ground swell
has come, with the tidal wave of De,
mocracy, and once more our grand
old party is victorious and our rights
indicated. = ,s,...t
We now propose in heralding this
triumph of our party to place on
record, for the special benefit of our
numerous readers, who cannot always
get New Orleans paper, a few sim
pie facts and figures by States, which
go to make up this Democratic tri-
umph. We commence with the En-
pire State of
NEW YORK.

we elect our Governor by $4,000
majority, have gained 10 Members of
Congress, have a majority on joint
ballot in the Legislature, thus secur-
ing the election of a U. S. Senator in
place Of Fenton, Republican. And
now the grand up-heaying comes
from the "old Bay State,'' iuo
MASSACHUSETTS. nj3
Here our victory is unexpected,
unprecedented, more than glorious.
The avalanche of Democracy in this
State is fearful, and we stagger in
penning it: Democratic Governor,
a gain of six Members of Congress,
who are pure and straight Democrats,
and two Independents, opposed to
Grantism, and the defeat, sound
