THE !ST9TE.S

We have letter from Alexandria, i'm the State of
Louisiana, which informs us that in nine parishes
IN that vicinity, the Jackson majority was 145-In
a of these parishes, Clay has majority of 26l-I
whereas Adams's majority i'm 70 was 529-"a re-
action truly against old Hickory"i
N correspondent of the "New York Standard"
from Mobile of Nov. 16th writes, that the jackson
and Van Buren, ticket has majority of 1892 in
Louisiana.
In Mississippi (says the letter. they have start
ed Barbour ticket, but Van Buren, will get almost
unanimous vote; indeed from many of the counties his
vote is unanimous. In this State they have started Bar
bour ticket but the people wont III indeed one OF the
nominated electors has openly opposed it himself.
Louisiana with two Senators and three Representa-
tves, in oppossn-and the vote almost unanimous for
Jackson both Senators voted for the rejection of Van Blu
rem. In Alabama and Mississippi each with Senator
opposed TO Van Buren,, he got almost unanimous vote
for Vice President How is this? Ought these people
not TO resign their appointments Pray ask the question:
Why do not their own Legislatures ask The cues
ton of Messrs. Moore and Pomdexter?-They have
the right to ask it-and as the Senate Of the IT, s. is
now constituted, we should Think it Was their dty
to ask 1.-THE Senate is to become the great battle
ground, on which the war against the Admnstra-
ton is to be waged-and we should suppose that
Alabama and Mississippi would suffer no one to re-
present them but their own truest and ablest cham
pions.
