As bitter as has been the strife be-
tween the friends of the different aspi-
rants to the United States Senate, and
as acrimonious and as maievolent as it
continues to be, il is not difficult to
forssee, tina: personal feeling and sec
tional prejudice, will interpose mutual
barriers in the coming election, which
it will lie difficult to over come. This
strife about the Senatorial election, is
attracting an anusual share Of attention
in Mississippi, and in other States!it is
n common topic. How must the people
Of other sections of the Union, look up
on the progress of politics in Mississip-
pi? They see man. who has been E.
lected to the higest office known to the
Constitution and laws Of Mississippi,
throwing himself into the political are
ma, and by the might Of his name, and
the power of his mind, uprooting GUS
tom, made sacred by the lapse Of near
century, by entering, demagogue-like
into the fierce political contest for an
office, the hestowment of which, by our
Constitution, has been delegated to the
State Legislature.
McNutt's avowed object is 10 produce
an excitement in the minds of the PEG
pie, so that candidates for the Legisla.
ture will be compelled to commit them
selves before the election. by an ex
preston of preference, and deemine

He has string of appointments foul
months long, and by filling them all,
will have furnished every voter in the
State, an opportunity TO see him, anc
catch from his own lips the honey &c
plasterlngs Of his political sins, and the
denunciations of his enemies. The 9th
er candidates for that high station
seem to lay their aspirations at the fee
of legislators Of the land, dependin,
for their success, no: upon excuses TO
former conduct, nor promises of future
services. We admire the noble bear
ing Of Gen. Quitman, in this matter
for while he avows himself willing t.

himself upon the notice of the people
as clustering, rantiDg, rampant, dem

Lord, how easily the SOVEREIGN
PEOPLE are guIed!~ If man tells
them he is a democrat they believe
him; when, if he should dare TO say was
honest and capable, they would inquire
into that matter. 1t costs nothing for
the biggest dog in the State to call
himself a democrat; and all you can
rely on him for, is fidelity to party
right or wrong. As he has Obtained
his office by simple adhesion to the
popular side, so If any new question a
rises you will find him on that side of
it, which, as we'll as his shallow brains
are capable of seeing, or as luck will
have it, is best calculated to give the
