From the Nep York Tribune. THE MTSSlSNIppI EI EGsPION

| The result of the late Election in Mississippi is now morally certain. The Loco loco party early assum- ed that the State should not pay either principal or
 interest of it's Bonds issued under authority of it's Lo- co.toco Governor and Legislature 10 form the capital ol its great Union Bank and now held in Europe. The Wing party at it's State Convention, unanimous. y resolved that the Bonds, however wisely issued were morally and legally binding on the People of l Mississippi, and must be paid. Every one of their candidates were in favor of paying. Ofthe Loco-fo. co candidates originally nominated some were in ia. vor of paying but the sentiment of their party set strongly against them that they constrained to decline, and full cke! of Anti Bonders' was made expressing one in the canvass. It was every where discussed by the rival candidates-tle Wings in fa- yor of paying. the Locofocos against it. The old Wh,g Counties have, with scarcely an exception, gwen maJontes for paying; but the new Counties, which were always LOco.focO, have gone so again, and by increased majorities. Tucker, the Loco.foco and Anti. Bond candidate, is elected over Shattuck Wing and Bond paying, by about the same majority Governor, obtained over Turner, Whc, in Is39-say 2,5OO 10 5000. The other candidates of the party who IS probably beaten by split. We have no req son to doubt that the Legislature is also Loco-foco and against paying the State Bonds.
 Our readers may be curious to know what kind of pretex IS set up tor refusing to pay debt incurred by authority of the Legislature and Governor and for which the unfortunate bond holders have given full thIs: The Legislature directed that the Union Bank should go into operation as the State Bonds for Five Millions at five per could he sold a, l par. The Sa e's Commissioners proceeded to neso. liate the stocks on the best possible terms-taking therefor al par drafts Eastern cities having some tune 10 run. These drafts passed over to ihe Bank, pad out by n Tn discounts cash, paid in full hy the drawers, and were in fact better than money in Mississippi. Yet the pretext set up is that the bonds were sold under par by the States agents and being so solo, the State ought not 10 pay them This IS the 2Found and all the ground, so far ca n understand II, which the Loco Focos of Missssip- pI have voted to repudiate their State Debt.
 ouch oelng the tnGf, we watch with much interest the columns oi our Loco-foco coemporares in other States to see how they regard this matter. For, it must be evident # this pretext sulfces to cancel a State Debts, there canno be wanting pretexts for q similar course m other States, whose debts are more formidable and more embarrassing than those of Mis- ! slssipP With wha: feelings do the Loco.foc Press and rarty Tn other States regard this repudia'ion
 nal neeting has condemned e course o their pariy 1 in Mississippi. The New York Smn, whose propre- tor IS very heavy holder of State Stocks, thinks Re- pudlaton naughty !lnng, but expresses the facts on thcm The Standard, while shouts the vic- tory strives to conceal the grounds on which it was won; and recklessIy asseFts that Judge Shattuck 8 1 deteat for Governor IS owing 10 imputat0ns on his | persona character and dealings. Nothing could be | farther from the truth MT. Shntiuck is the Presiding Elder of the Methodist Episcopal church in Misss- s'pp, as well as Circuit Judge and man of lofty in
 egrIty and just popularity. We confident he will have the largest vote of any candidate the Wing ticket except Col. Bngaman for Congress- l He EUe""S 4 OSt IS muH7i me AtOdny ArsuS OtO, but vocerous in exultation the reto,y But the Washington Globe man is the s'urdest rascal ln the land he plays no sneaklng game In hIs Friday evenings paper. he backs his Mississippi alss very fairly, quoting in their behalf an opinion of THOMAS JEFFERSON that credit in Europe is njnry to us, as an excuse for cheating Foreign Creditors, and follow ing it up with Money Article from Bennetrs Her old, m which swndling is commended ol course: In this article, MT WEBSTER opinion that Bonds issued by the Territorial Legislature Of Florida Nhough that Legislature was not authorized to contract loansl would be binding unless Congress should promptly in- terfere and forbid the proceeding. is perverted into opinion in taUor of Repudiaion ! and the writer ex' ungly exclaims-
 "This covers the whole ground, and admits that Congress can repudiae a contract for abuse Of the powers granted. This is all that Mississippi cOne nds for, It Congress can. consistently with good faith ard propnety: Lpud,ae Snder any e,renms,ances sa power. After the high authority of Daniel Webster and the esample cf MississiPp', it may well
 be feared that other Sates ni adopt the same course
 All this, be it remembered, is not merely one ot the money articles of the Herald but is incorpordted Gp ProUingty into the leading article of he leading Loco Eoco journals ef the Unon. What wonder that State Credit reels and State Stocks tumble under aIch blows as these. And yet the Albany Argus and it's satellites are dishonest enough attribute the decline of our State Stocks to Whig erfrGpogGnce! Who can fail to trace it directly to Loco FocO dishonesty?
 FATAL DuEIs.-We regret to record two more vic. tins at the shrine of the unsuitable Moloch of dueling Yesterday, encounters took place betwt four gen. l tIemen or ms clIy-aH of them highly respectable and honorable.
