lUnneli of the Central Bank after the payment of its
debts, i. Bet apart as a permanent Education Fund,
lit Mima I Income of which, is to be distributed to
tki irveral counties of this State in proportion to tho
■inker of poor children therein, as set forth In said act
Tbediitribution is to be made by the Executive, and
to enable him to do so, the Justices of the Inferior
Cnortof each cnunlyare required to report to him, on
erbefore the first Monday in November of each year,
tbe number of poor children in their respective counties
between the ages of eight and sixteen years, whose pa.
tenia arc unable lo educate them.
It is to be hoped that the duly imposed upon theJus-
tcea of ihe Inferior Courts of every county in the Slate
kubeen discharged, ns we learn, that, in compliance
fitli the law, a distribution will be made, of the divi.
dsods from the Bank Slock, before the first day of
Jtmiary next. Afler that time, the distributive share
if each couniy will ho paid lo any person presenting
•cerlified copy of an order of the Interior Court au-
Ikoriiingsuch payment.
Tbe amount to be distributed wifi be small, but
wall as it is, wo hope that it will do some good.
No fund has yet accrued, in accordance with the
provisions of the same act, to pay off accounts of
Ttachers for services in 1842, and 1843. But the
Janices may, at their discretion, apply the funds
received as above, to this purpose, to be reimbursed
cal of their share of future distributions from sales of
reverted lands.
We are Whigs, and desire no other Name.
We are Whigs—members of the great and glotioue,
though recently defeated. Whig Party—knowu and re.
Cdptised as su.'h, and neither desire, ourselves lo, nor
*ish to see our associates assume any other name.—
Tkitname under which our forefathers fourlit for, and
•thieved, American Independence, and lin! name, un-
Jcrwhich there w as a rally of freemen, by thousands,
remNnrili to South, and from East to West, to pro-
rede the election of tho purest and greatcel American
oTateshan now living, is the name by which we de-
lire to lie recognised, through all time. Not only do
*e contend fur the name of Whig, but recognising tho
Nreop/ciof Government advanced by our great leader,
“mut Cuy, we would hold on to them too, wi'h the
«ree Iteidfastness that the Christian holds on lo his Bi-
wtorllio Massulnian to his Koran. We desire noother
Wne—we arc fast wedded to Whig principles.

In many sections of the Union, but particularly in

Politicians and the country. In numbers, they

Ct AY. 1 be i /brefgn rote was against him—it waa brought
to the polls by parly leaders, and almost every man of
them, voted for Mr. Polk. These foreigners, it seems,
could not differ as oilier men differ—they could not go
to the poll! as others went—but in a body, they wore
marched lo the pulls, and, in a body, lltcy deposited
their votoe against Mr. Clay. But this it not all.
Public meetings were held by them, not as American
citiaene, but ns foreigners, Frenchmen, and at these pub.
lie meetings the policy of our laws was assailed, and
it was even argued, how their repeal would benefit
France 1 By such a course of procedure, Mr. Clay
lost the vote of New York, the Wh g party tuffered
defeat, and ills now urged.upon them to connect them-
selves with tlie Native American parly, and under that
banner—a bannor that was most selfishly unfurled on
the day that Mr. Clay loot New York—do battle for
the future. For one, with tho lights bofore us, we beg
leave to declino such an association, such an abandon
ment of Whig principles and the Whig Parly, and we
shall give a tew reasons therefor.
In the first place, then, wo have really no desire to
expatriate foreigners; and to any amendment of the con-
stitution of our country that does this, we aro opposed.
To remedy existing evils, for we believe evils of the
character complained of,do exist, and that they require
remedying, we would change the constitutional prov
sion for the naturalization of foreigners, back to seven
years, and otherwise make enactments, so as to more
securely guard against illegal voting, and its consequem
and awful crime, perjury. As for preventing foreigners,
after they have become naturalized, front holding public
office, we cannot see into Us utility, while its liberality
and justice arc questionable. We lament, and the
country will, and does now, suffer from, the manner in
which foreigners have thought proper to exerciBe their
right of suffrage ; but lo deprive them of the most sa
cred of al! privileges to a freeman, is in direct opposf
tion lo true Whiggcry, and we must beg leave to de
Cline advocating any such cause. Time, and laying
facts before the country, will soon cure the evil. These
very foreigners will bdoii seo that they have been made
tho instruments of democratic demagogues, &. office seek
I ers, and will themselves, if left lo their own free choice,
array themselves under Hie very banner winch they ral
lied to trample in the dust. At least, when reason go
verns, it may not be expecting toe much to hope that a
large portion of them will be found among the Whigs,
contending for a good Whig government, faithfully and
Ituneslly administered.
We hold on, then, to our old name, and decline any
amalgamation with any new party, by which we are to
surrender either our principles or our name. Let otli-
ers do as they may, fur our part, we are content to do
battle fur Whig principles, and Whig candidates, with
zi al the more earnest because of our late defeat! And

[FOR THE GEORGIA JOURNAL.]
Messrs. Editors :—We are defeated, but reat aacur~
gress, and placed before the Menato in t>omn shape or
other. Indeed, in relation to Texas, it may he a que«-
tion whether ihe whole subject wilt not be brought up
again and placed at imce before both Houses of Con*
gross. It is the purpose of the administration to remo
del all the commercial negotiations with foreign iia
lions, particularly with all those in Europe or other
parts of the world that may be rivals with England.
The Zoll-Verein treaty, therefore, is merely the be
ginning of a series of negotiations founded on the eame
principles which will embrace ihe whole commercial
world, with the exception of England, with whom it is
supposed no treaty can bo formed. In the event of any
collision taking place with England growing out of the
annexation of Texas, or taking possession of the Ore
gon territory, it is believed by Mr. Calhoun that the
breaking up of the cotton trade of the South with Eng
land, which might be injured thereby in the estimation
if some, would still bo placed iu nearly a similar posi
tion in connexion with the manufacturers of the East,
provided wo had treaties with all other commercial
countries, and thereby could take tho position of Eng.
land in relation to the cotton trade of the world.
Another subject of great importance will also be be
fore the cabinet, and that is, what is to be done or sai
about the tariff in tho next message? And also on oth
er questions, what will be said? Wo have every rea
son to believe that a new plan for the modification of the
tariff will he proposed on somewhat similar principle, to
those ol Mr. Clay’s famous Compromise Bill.” It
may perhaps be proposed that a uniform duty of 17J or
20per cent may be laid on al! foreign commodities, to
come into operation in six months or a year, in the
place of the present tariff, and it is supposed that a tar.
iff of this description would he sufficient to meet all the
expenditures of the government, pay the present public
debt, and be sufficiently protective to American manu
factures. Tim present debt is about twenty-five mil-
Jions. The surplus revenue now in the banks, growing
out of the present lar.f£ is about eleven or twelve mil
lions— nearly oiw» half of tbe debt. The whole of the

James K. Polk. 1 he people cannot, and will not res- 1 would be quite sufficient to meet all tbe purposes of 1 he
peel his administration. They feel that he is not right- debt, and ■ ■ ■
fully their ruler, and while from respect lo the office,
they arc willing lo acknowledge him for the time their
licad, yet they teem with loathing front the contempla
tion of a man, who Ia willing to hold the high office of
President of Ihe United Stales, hy the use of the base
aud abondoued means which his party have employed to
secure it for him.
The people have no confidence in him—they have no
affection for him. Placed in nomination by trickery
, , . o.ii i- t . . .. x and fraud—he has obtained his e ection hy the suffracca
aa for our ate gallant leader—hint who, at Ashland, ,,, . r -
c 1 and favorB of that infamuus race of men, the Northern
looks down with scorn upon those who nave so basely
traduced him, and with pity upon the deluded followers
of Democracy — think you, reader, that he will surien-
der up his Whig name, so long as lie draws tho breath
of life? Aerer. Then why should we!
'1 he Itcpnblic.
In tho confusion or excitement incidonl to the recep
tion of Iho returns of Ihe late election, we have neglect
ed tonolice that we have received several numbers of the
“ REPDDLtc." anew Democratic paper lately established
in Macon, and edited by Samuel M.Steono, Esq. Mr.
Strong is a gentleman of talents, and possessing a warm
and ardent temperament will no doubt support the prin
ciples ufhls parly with ability and spirit. W'ocordially
extend tho hand of brotherhood to him, and to his paper
wish all the success that Democratic papersare entitled
to.
NOltTU-CAROLINA.
This State has elected the Clay Electoral ticket by
a majority of 3,945—a gain of 792 votes since August
last. In the county of Mecklenburg, whore Sir. Polk
was born and raised, his vote lell off, from that of Ihe De.
niocratic candidate in August last, and Mr. Clay gained
142 in that county!! Comment is unnecessary.
TENNESSEE.
After the most careful examination, we have no
hesitation in saying that Tennessee has gouo fur M
Clay. Tho vote is very close, ranging bolween 159
and 499—but Iho die is cast. The Globe, and other
Democratic papers, iu and out of Tennessee, clung lo
It, as tongas there was a hope, hut they are begin
uing to give it up. The Globe, iu alluding to a “ re
port” that the Slate had gone for Polk by five, votes'
seems to place very little reliance upon il, aud say 8
it has little or no doubt but that the Statu has gouo for
Clay. Thus it will be 6eeti that notwithstanding Mr
Polk is the next President of the United Slates, ho did
did not even carry the State he was horn in. or the one in
which lie lived.
Vermont.—The Greco Moumain Boys have given a
noble majority for Clay aud Fbblinghoysen. Re
turns from eighty two towns sland thus: For Clay,
12,218; Polk 6,489; Birney, 1.392; showing a ne
Whig gain of 2,928 over the vote for Governor iu Sep.
tember. Mr. Clay’s majority over Mr. Polk will be at
least 19,999 in tho Slate, and 5,999 over Polk aud Uir
ney
Ohio.—The official returns from the Stale of Ohio
show iho majority for tho Whig Electoral Tickoi lo be
0,954. The vote is as follows :
For Mr. Clay 155,113
For Mr. Polk 149,959
For Mr. Birney 8,050
Illinois.—Polk's majority so far, 7,125.
New Hampshire.—Polk’s majority 9230—complete,
New Jersey.—Clays majority 823—complete.
Tennessee.—The Nashville Whig of 14th instant
says: ‘'Our returns aro now complete, with the excep
“tion of Fentress county. Adopting the o'd vote of
••Fentress, Mr. Clay's majority in the State is luur

the Charleston Courier, lias commenced liis correspon.

and he holds the office with the distinct avowal from
these fiend like friends, that his imbecility was the ground
of their adhearancc. Party drill was invoked to elevate
him to office—not willing to roly upon his character,
his claims, and his worth, he threw himself upon the
nervilc dictation of party tyranny. Mon were made
machines of, etript of independence in thought and ac
tion— watched, drilled—put under the eapoinage of
captains and lieutenant*, inarched !o the polls like gal-
ley-slaveB, and voted under the ordera and commanJu
of their masters. Not a friend throughout the canvas*
even uttered an invocation to the name of James K.
Polk, ilis name, his fame, Iii6 deeds were placed out
of view, while the only shout* which rent the air, wera
>r the ideal personage of “ Young Hickory !** Wh&C
would not a man in his own person, feel when contem
plating this humiliating and humbled condition ? Who
is there that feels the noble impulses of a man, that
would consent to be the President of a mighty people—
when lie knew that that people never thought of him fur
office, and that after his nomination he hue only been
elected by frauds upon popular rights, aud by enjoying
the patronage aud name borrowed from another! and
that he had to take shelter behind the cognomen of one,
whoso character he could not liken to, and through
fawning and sycophancy crawl into power, by hie friend
ship. How humiliating must these reflections be t<
James K. Polk ! A man in bis own right, would scorn
to hold his place — but a man who feel* hie unworthi-
ncF8, would take office on any terms, even on these so
disgraceful to an American freeman !
llow unlike this, was the conduct of Henry Clay }
He was the candidate of no midnight caucus. No clique
of office-beggers dictated him to the people—no senti
nel* watched the people, and led them to tho poll*, to
vote by the party’s dictation—no spurious fame wat hii
—he borrowed no man’s name to belter his own—-he
atole no laurels to crown hi* nuked brow, and entwined
no wreath of Young lliclmry around them. He aeked
no God-father for his birth, but he 6tood before the
world, a man in his own person ! How much more<no-
hie and honorable is his defeat, than the triumph of
Jarn'*8 K. Polk ? Who would wear the robei of office,
and wear them as James K. Polk must ? The people
do not respect him, and before long, he will not rcapcct
himself. Tho political offspring of fraud upou a na
tion's suffrages, and glory, lie soon must be a loathing
*pectacle to the virtuous, und the noble of all parties.
He lias no claims upon the gratitude, or affections even
of Ins own party. He was elected by them, as their
party candidate, but not a voter can tell you why lie
voted for him, beyond the fact, that lie belonged to hi*
parly! What noble soul would accept tbe reluctant
hand of a fair one, vo ided by parental menace, while the
heart was another*/ And who would be the President
of tho United Slate*, by the vo ea of freemen, cast for
him alone, because he was tho party’* candidate?
The patriot would scorn the office, aud its honors on
such terms.
Of the four millions of freemen who have cast tlieit
suffrages in the In** election, not ono has voted lor Mr%
Polk, because he was his choice lor office, from services
rendered to his country, for Ins superior qualification*
for office. Thin astounding fact, should arouse him to
a sense of hi* position. Never did the rolling wave,
more surely follow the raging tempest, than does the
downfall ot James K. Polk, follow this fixed fact. The
Nat io.i ha* been cheated out of it* choice, by fraud, by
falsehood ai.d deceit—aud the nation will avenge ila
wrong, hy hurling from place and power, the im|M>ten-
cy which will souk to govern it.
Can the Whig* thou falter ! The victory waa their’*,
but fraud made it another*. We will have it yet—de
feated, we are yet uticonqucred. Boldly we fling our
banner to the breeze, and confiding our cause to the
justice (f the God of lightning and tho storm*, we will
battle on, until victory shall avenge our wrongs. We
have tho Senate—we have a powerful party in the
House—we have a large number of tlie State*—we are
honestly elected, but shamefully defrauded. With
thebe advantage*, let every Whig resolve on victory.
We are the most powerful minority party that ever yet
ha* existed—the adamantine band* of principle unite u*
from Maine to Louisiana. Where you find a Whig,
you may know hi* principle*—not so of our npponen:*.
We have everything to stimulate u* to action, and
though the cloud of defeat hangs over us now, it is but
temporary. Tho next election secures us a glorious
triumph. As an insulted and injured people, intuited
hy the slavish denial of all principle to control a great
party ; injured by the gro*s frauds which have defeated
up, let every freeman engrave his oath upon his altar
and bis fireside, that dor'*°at hIisiII not be hi* again. Let
tho Whig* commence the battle at once, and bofore
even the beneficiary of such political fraud shall be in
stalled into office, open the war upon the party, au4 the
mean* which they have employed to defeat u*.
Wo have great interest* al stake within our State
government. The general conflict must be postponed
until it come* up iu it* order. Our counties roust be
protected from the blasting and ruinous misrule of de
mocracy, and it i* the duty of every Whig In ice that
the same stupendous scheme of fraud which has etolen
from us a rational President, does not fasten upon our
counties the same political imbecility and misrule.
Let every Whig look to this. That Georgia will ever
come under democratic misrule again, noi ono can be
lieve. Our opponent* can never again carry out such a
system of fraud and deceit to aecure tho popular vote,
aa they havo this year. The Bute ia aafe beyond doubt,
and lot the Whigs keep it «p, BALDWIN,
debt, and meet also the expenditures of the government.
There is another important point that will also be
brought before Congress, and that i* a complete reform
of the fii ancial system of the government. Wo should
not,there fore, be at all surprised to see the recent “fi*.
cal agent ” proposed by the President brought forward
with *ome» important modification*, and some financial
system fo under) on principles of the soundest political
science, :« nd calcu'atcd to kepp the present banking sys
tem in cln tek, to as great an extent and more safely than
it could he done hy a National Bunk. What this plan
may bo we have not heard, and cannot divine, but we
have no do jbt something of the kind will be proposed.
Other rofonns will bo proposed at the opening of Con-
gress, probably amongst them a reduction of the Post
Office rates—a reform and modification of the naval sys-
tem—and the introduction of a 1 earn lines to Europe in
the manner attempted by Franco and England. The
most important movements of the administration, how
ever will be developed on the opening of the next se*-
of Coog/esfl, and wiH undoubtedly have reference
to a revival of tho negotiations for the annexation of
Texas, and an effort to modify the tamffiand bring down
the duties to 17,20. or 22 per cent. It i» objected in
somo quarters, that the ascendancy of Mr. Call) un
would lead to '.he destruction of the manufacturing in
terests—to foreign war—and to a variety of other dias-
triou* consequences. We do not see such results
growing out of that ascendancy. We hove no dauht
his policy and his views will swell out into a compre
hensiveness that will astonish many of those whuare
incapable of anpi 'oiating Ins magnificent m+tid and
we should not h«* at all surprised, if iu the course of
events, he were to, following out. tbe system of nog ot
ling commercial treaties with all the world on the plan
the Zoll Yerein treaty, and in connexion with the no
quisilion o! Texas and the Oregon, to put England inti
such a position a* to lead to n sudden aud overwhelm
ing outbreak or revolution in that kingdom. In the
process of maturing the event* necessary to produce
much a contingency, the manufacture* of the East will
noi he injured, but will be benefitled by having created
for (hem a wider market for I heir product*, and the
chances of obtaining the whole cotton trade of the world.
Only look ar.the necessary result of interruption of the
commercial intercoms* between this country and Great
Britain. The interdiction of exports of Cotton from
the United Sla'e* to England would of necessity, h ad
in a brief period lo a revolution iu the manufacturing
districts of Great Britain,—the utter prostration of her
trade,and the ultimate overthrow of the empire whil
to the man ii fact tiring interest* of this country it would
give the position now occupied by England, with res-
peet t<i tho cotton ’rado of the world.
From the information we receive from Washington,
and from the character of Mr. Calhoun’s groat mind, we
are disposed to think that the opening Message of the
Presidext will bo one of tho most important document*
of that kind that emanated from any administration
since the foundation of this government.

ATROCIOUS FRAUD AND INFAMY f t
We alatoil ytstfiCfUjr tlisl ominous whispers were

PENDOUS SYSTEM OF FRAUD, PERJURY AND
SCOUNDRBLiSM in the pnrisli of Plaquemines,
when hy that Parish, with a voting population ol less
than fivu hundred, would be mad2 lo jfive one thousand
or twelve hundred Locofoco majority. We were laugh
ed at by a few honest Locofoco*, who could not con
ceive ot ilia existence of such villainy, but we have
received our information from sources too authentic to
doubt the fact. The system has been carried out.
THE INFAMY HAS BEEN PERPETRATED. As
to the mode in which it was done, Ihe following com
munication from a gentleman who was present at the
voling will best demonstrate.
ll there be anything in the annals of outrage and
wrong more utterly revolting and hideous than the con
duct ol the presiding officer* of the election at Pla-
quemiue, it Ins escaped nur search. If it be tamely
tolerated ; if it be submitted to with meekness, the
people of Louisiana may as well fold their arms and
surrender their government to the loafer* and vagabonds
the off-scouring* of society, tbe Ice9 and refuse of the
community, who control \lie ballot bo*.Wftd thrust in
their spurious vote* in defiance of law rfhd justice. If
this gross system of imposture aud cruno prove irreme
diable, we may bid farewell to tho dream of sell-gov-
eminent and popular institutions. Let the honest citi
zen ot every party look at the naked fan. TWELVE
HUNDRED LOCOFOCO MAJORITY in a parish
which never gave four hundred votes—and from three
hundred aud fifty to four hundred residents of New Or
leans who cast their suffrages here on Monday, allowed
lo tale double ui Plaquemines on Wednesday !
We have much more to say on this subject, but must
content ourselves for the present with calling attention
to the simple statement* of fact* appended :
“A number of young Whigs, night before last, having
learned that the Locofoco* had freighted a steamer
with objects wearing tho human form, (men they can
not he called,) for ihe purpose of pipe laying the parish
of Plaquemines,determined to watch their manoeuvre*,
and lo ascertain their destination ; and to accomplish
this object, chartered the steamer SwiJ'lsure, which they
got uuder wav about one o’clock iu tlw morning, some
three hour* alter the locofoco boat had put out. About
three o'clock a dense fog impeded their progress, and |
they were foiced to lie to some two hours. .At six,the
mist having cleared away, they came in view of the
object of their pursuit, made fast to the left bank of the
river. The Swifisure landed on the opposite side and
despatched a boat over, which shortly returned with the
information that about 150 persons were being quali
fied to vote, and that their destination was P onte a la
Hache, where a poll would be open' d at 10 o’clock.
The Whig* immediately got underway for that place,
and the boat was soon landed opposite a staff bearing
the American Ensign. Before, however, she could be
made last, the Sheriff of Plaquemines ordered the boat
to be removed, in an uuthoritative tone, saying it was
his landing, and that jt must bo clear for a boat which
lie soon expected with voters on board. Not wishing
to create any disturbance, the Whigs advised the cap
tain to drop down to tho point, which he did, while
they remained on the ground claiming the right, as
American citizens, at least to remain at the polls as
spectators. In a few minutes the steamer Planter,
Captain Lodwick, neared the shore, his boat swarming
with beings who made the air ring with shout* for Polk
and Dallas. So thoroughly crowded was ihe boat that
iu their descent from tho upper deck, oue man had to
leave each side at the same lime r t» prevent hercreen-
ing over, (luce on land they were marched or driven
like a heard of swine to the road, and there formed in-
lo a sort of a line lo await the arrival of tho Agness, an
other boat iu the Locofoco employ. She, however, d d
not detain them long, aud came booming up with a
crowd similar in character, though fir loss in number,
headed by Judge Leonard; who had so far forgotten that
dignity that is reckoned to appertain to hi* office, a* to
hurrah and amalgamate with men who wore journeying
to trample upon the Constitution and desecrate that
instrument the AwericaM 4 people pr.ze above .all earthly
blessings—the Ballot Box. The “Movereigners” from
the last boat having touched terra firma, foil in the
rear of the hue first formed, aud with a sort of demo-
mac yell rushed to the polls, and commenced thoir work
of porpotuatingfreedom. 'This was about twenty min
ute* after nine, and before half past ten — a 1 t lo over
an hour—over 450 voices had spoken for ‘’Polk aud
Dallas” aud "Equal Rights.”
Amongst those who had been freighted fro in this city,
were a largo number recognised by the Wing* a* res
idents or sojourners iu three municipalities—ihe i*rg-
eal po;hon I rom Iho scr.und — «>f whom, rtnnto !»a«.
tivo-thiide voted on MondViv. Of that fact, however
we will leave it to the authorities, with the assistance
of the committee to ascertain. Wo are assur' d, nev
er, holes*, that a considerable number of them have
been booked by the Whig* who were there at the time,
aud that their names are down lor double aud f. audit*
lent voting.
The conduct of the Sheriff’and hi* minions deserves
the contempt of every American who loves hi* country,
be he Wing or Loco loco. Tho little party of Whigs
waa pointed out by him to every infuriated Irishman or
drunken fisherman, as men v\ho had come from tliecl v,
to cont)"ol the vote ol Plaquemines. They were hissed
at a* they moved about the ground, amt when at last
some one or two of them squeezed through the crowd
to the table on which was deposited tho precious recep
tacle of freemen’* voices, he peremptorily ordered th**m
— “if they had voted to make room.” O.ie or two, how-
ever persisted iu staying, claiming the right a* Na*
tive American Citizen* to stand by the box that was
so last filling vv.Ili fraudulent hand*. Finding that ev-
ery thing was going as the loco* willed it. without jus
tice, without precedent, Ine Wh g* gave up.iheir places
aud left the room, so grossly polluted, under the sane-
lion of judicial and other officer*, and conton'eil them
selves hy taking the name* ofsucli voters a* were sup.
posed to have exercised the elective franchise on Mon
day.
The reader will, judge from, the time consumed in
polling Bi»U votes what forms of law were observed m
the proceedings. A gentleman informs us ti at whilst
he stood by the table some fifty were taken and deposi
ted in the box, with, no-other questions linn, “what
name.” The tickets were invariably opened, the judge
saying that in that independent precinct, no in in ought
or should vole a ticket that was folded up.
Oue circumstance connected \v:li trie Sheriff is amu
sing, notwithstanding tho disgust with winch every can.
did lined will view it. Tho engineer of the Planter,
who,.by the way, is a good Wing, and a Kemuck an —
ask' d the fcyfiriff if a. man who Ind run lour years on
R* d River was entitled lo vole. The Sheriff, thinking
no Wh-g could be found in such a crowd, told him,
“most certainly sir, you have a right to vote hi the par-
ish ol Plaquemines;” but when lie opened the ticket
and louud “Clay and the Union” on it, he decided that
the R'-d River gentleman, could not poll a vote iu his
parish, and with that ordered Inin irom the poll.
There were a few men in the Locofoco ranks whose
faces bespoke the mortification and shame that had
mastered their passion for success ly any means. They
could not look up from the ground, but followed, as if by
instinct, their file leaders to the polls. Even John C.
Laure, the leader of the motly crew, felt, or pretended
to leel, abashed. Judge Leonard wished, in his own
words, “lh.it the people of New Orleans would attend
to their own business aud let us atten d to vors !" He
seemed at one tune very much hurl at the proceeding*,
hut al the next moment, the thought ol victory would
flush his face, and his regret seemed lost in the dream
of ecstacy.
The returns of Iho election, as derived from the Par
ish Judge and Sheriff, show a majority lor Polk of ltU5 #
The entire number of the white male adults, accord
ing to the ceiiMU* oi 1640, in tho parish of Piaqueiiinic,
was FIVE HUNDRED AND TillRTY-EIGHT.--
Under the stringent law sol this stajem regard to dec-
! tion*, not over ihreo-iourih* of that number could pessi-
