MISSISSIPPI The New Orleans Bulletin OF the 18th
quotes the Ficksburg Sentinel of The last date which
says "the Democratic majority for the whole ticket will
be from to 1900 IL is not particular to the precise
figures, and is not at sufficient leisure to mount
u rooster to play off Chapman
The Mobile Journa! Of the 18th (Whig) says, that
he election in Mississippi has, without doubt, resulted
in the complete Of the Democratic ticket. In

We have case of the Nladsonians want o
consideration in the very question before us
Docs it mean TO say, that Mr. Tylers Message
(about the Distribution Of the Proceeds OF the Pub
lie Lands) does point to this "BaDk Scheme baset
upon the Public Land Proceeds" Does It mean Z
insinuae, that even Mr.. Tyler himself is now u
| favor of such Scheme: Does it even mean 10 say
that Mr. Spencer would cover his support OF this Bank
Scheme, under MIR. Ty!er's Message? Does It even
mean to say, that Mr.. Spencer is in favor OF the
schcme So 1T least understand from It's reference
10 the Aessage-as well lis avoiding 10 make diF"c
ans wer TO our nerrogatury. And II so, then every
thing we have SAID about the scheme is III season, and
about Mr. Spcncer's opinion is correct we shat! op
pose the scheme with spirit because It IS SANCTION
ed by The support, and promoted by the abilities OF if
Spencer-and shall suspect Mr.. SIS course the more
because he is in favor Of any such Scheme. The OH
cal ought 10 have cleared Mr. SIS skirts of any such
plan, if he would show that Cabinet minister lie
was, as he is said 10 have been, anti. Ganh
But the Madisonian is pleased to ask 'one question:
of The Enquirer Does it mean, by assaatng Mr..
SPENCER, to support the Administration OF john
ler or not eve will cheerfuy publish lis denial
gan! But it has put the question: we will answer
i frankly. When Dir. Tylers Administration supports
the Constitution and interests Of his country, we Will
cordially support it, When il carries out schemes that
we dsapprove, will oppose them We owe
much to Mr.. Tyler for his vetoes-bnt we cannot
sacrifice every thing to them. We cannot support
MIR. Tyler when lie does wrong-st, less can we
support Mr.. Spencer. We will oppose The uncon'
stilu,ional measures of both We Will cnl'clse

distinction OF conducting an official paper, nor will We

The Democratic Party have swept every thing so
completely before them, that the great hope Of the
Wings now consists in our becoming intoxicated from
our brilliant success They remind us of the maxim,
that it ia much harder 10 bear prosperity than advers-
