FROM THE SOUTH.

From the jackson (Bii) Sun, Of the 10Th inst pub
iished at the Seat of Government Of Mississippi We
make The following extracts:
Bargain and Iafrigue-Judge Trotter, since
Witnessing the recent indications Of public sent-
ment II. this State has resigned his seat in the Sc
nate OF the United States. II is evident that the gen.
ueman resigned, because he foresaw the utter i'm
possibility Of retaining his seat beyond the period for
which he was elected last winter. This timely re-
treat saved the Senator from moriifying defeat"
IL is a settled principle with the administration
oil The general government, 10 elevate and advance
every partisan OF Distinction who falls under the
BIN Of public sentiment. Such condemned persons
are invariably placed far above the people who re-
buked them; and from giddy height of executive
preierment, they smile complacenty upon the peo-
pie, nor heed the murmurng waves OF popular indig
nation which roll at their feet Gov McNuu Of
Mississippi, fully acts out this disgraceful policy Of
the Loco Focos II is understood that Judge Trotter
Is 10 be placed upon the bench Of the High Court of
Errors and Appeals, in the seat made vacant by the
resignation Of Judge Wright, and that Wright Is to
receive The executive appointment OF U. S. Senator
it will therefore amount merely to an exchange Of
honors with the gentlemen--a trade made by them
selves tor mutual convenience, and ratified by the
Governor. We consider such bargaining dis
graceful 10 the Statedsgraceiu TO the parties con-
cerned-and direct outrage upon the rights OF the
people"
The election of State Treasurer took place in
State which resulted in the success OF DR.. Silas
Brown, the Wing candidate In Al counties he
received majority of 1857 votes over Col Fall, his
Loco Foco opponent. Really, the Northern
with Southern principles" is making great head
way in his favore South.
NORTH CAROLINA ... .
The Legislature Of this State convened on Mon
day week. We learn from the Raleigh Register
that there is Wing majority on joint ballot.
In the Senate, after two Intellectual attempts to
elect Speaker, an adjournment took place. Messrs.
Joyner, of Halifax, (Whig) and Wilson, of Edge
comb, IL. +. were voted for-and there a was tie
each time There are fifty Senators Deduct the
nominees, who did not VOTE and Messrs. Foy, of Car
teret, and Jones, Speed, of Gates and Chowan and
White, of Anson, Wings, and Mr. Etheredge, OF Gu
ritnck, Loco Foco who were absent, and il leaves
Joyner, and twenty-five for Wilson. II was strictly
party vote, except that Mr. Carson, Of Rutherford,
hitherto countedas Wing, voted with the admins
traon. II either of the absent Wings arrive first
Col Joyner will be elected ii Mr. Eiheredge should
first take his seat, Mr. Wilson will be chosen
In The House Of Commons, VIM. A. Graham, of
Orange, (Whig) was elected Speaker on the first
ballot BY IL votes over Michael Hoke, Of Lincoln,
~. b This was strictly party vote, except that
Mr.. Bedford OF Rutherford, elected as Wing,
voted for Hoke, and Mr.. Siler, of Macon, (Adm.)
voted for Graham.
This state Of things in the Legislature is pre-
monitory warning OF the fate likely to attend the
Loco Foco U. S. Senators from that State, Messrs.
Strange and Bronon.
