 of the Democfaeyi

 The returns which have come in from the counlry-allhough up tc this time very par tial--show that a thorough revolution has taken place n Louisiana cotemporary with the establishment of new constitution, and that the party which has SO long held sway here, is undergoing tte process ot decomPo- si{io3.

 But the parish of St. James has done won ders--the residence of several of the most influential and distinguished leaders of the whig party, and where they have heretofore, for series of years, held uuaisputable sway. The democratic candidate Is in a minority of only l7 in this parish, and our nominee for Lieutenant Governor has actually a ma jority. We have elected Senator-Col. R. (. Nicholas, formerly U. S. Senator, and now Secretary of State of Loulsiana-oyer pow eriul whig competitor, and divided with our opponents the representation in the lower house. The democratic nominees for Sheriff and Coroner have also been chosen.

 If the vote in New Orleans, PIaauemines, St. Bernard, St. James and Jefferson, is fair test ol wha, may be expected Tn the remain der of the State, 1t will be tie most oyer whelming political victory ever achieved in Loulsiana by either party.

 Ii ;he v0ta in this city, and in the few pa rshes from which we have received returns up 10 the lime of going 10 press. be a fail lest of what k vet to come in, t will be the most overwhelming political victory cvel achieved in Louisiana, by either party.
