DEAa STA:
Wehave inst heard the result Of your election. and
need not tell yon Of tie interest i excited, or I'll
satisfaction il has afforded. You have had hard
struggle 10 Mississippi, and nsust nobly have you
sustained yourselves Thanks! thankAi in the name
OF the whole Democracy Of the Union. II nay ma
tive state has not inflated your exampe--F she sep
arated nersclftar tnIe fr,m the great Democratic
interest il was bccalSe she yielded TO local feelings
and hoped for the honor OF giving another Chief Ma
gi.tate to the Union. Tue great boly of the pco-
pie Of Tennessee honestly believed that Judge White
could be elected 10 the Presidency anl contdiug in
his integrity, they catered mSt zrlously in his
canse. So il was IN Mlssissppi-ioW Tennessee
emigranis SUSTAINED Judge White because he was
TeRmesssGH, an The same prncipL they would
ed men IN that State. But now when they have
seen the result, doynu suppose they will continue to
swell the numbers of the Wing arny' Certainly
mt How,ver disappointed, cllagrncd and would
be leaders may aci, the great mass Of lie White men
in Tennessee, Mississippi and elsewhere will dissolve
their temporary connection with the icderalsts. In
your own state, we know that all the old nationals
and nuIes, the Wcbsteriies and Calhoun men de-
clared themselves for White. Not that they loved
the man, not that they approved his principles, but
because they tcouid do any thing 70 defeat Mr. Yan
buren,. The honest Democratic friends Of the
Judge, the men who were controlled " state pride
aud Tennessee feelings, of course did tot reject
their aid. But the election is now over; he Judge
has been beaten by the Democratic party, AID de-

showed most conclusvely that Nr. Cahoun's object
was to create perpetual surplus revenue for dstri-
button. HI contended that the act OF last session
called opposite, was now admitted to be distribu-
tion bill and that the only way to prevent surplus
revenue from accruing, was to cut down the tariff
sndFestrict the sales Of public land. He showed
that the surplus in the treasury arose from the ex-
iiaordnary sales 10 spectators Of the public lands
and argued that suspension Of those sales. or r.
strictieR to actual settlers, would avoid the difficult
es and dangers apprehended irum excess of rev.
enue. Mr. clay briefly followed, evidently IN bad
