REPUTATION REGULATED!


MIssIssIPPI.-Though the election of Mr. ToMp-
kINs to Congress from this State is highly satisfac-
'ory and matter of great congratulations the cleo
'lon-and that, too by very large majoriiy-of
Judge oHARkEY as Chief Judge of the Court of APP
Peais is matter of still greater rejoicing
II is the triumph of principle-if is the defeat
ana rom 81 The repudiating party in that State
1t is the return of majority of the people of Mis-
slsslPPl to the paths of Justice and recttude and
the result reflects high honor upon the glorious band
who have achieved this victory
Judge SHARKEY has always been the omen and
fearless enemy of reputation, which he has de-
nounced in the severest terms, contending that the
only honorable course for the State to pursue was
10 recognise her debt and at once impose the need
iul taxes TO meet the interest," and finally redeem
the principal.
He has also been deadly hostile to all the legsIa-
tive efforts to destroy the debts due to the banks by
compelling those institutions to sell out their claims
at public auction by throwing legal distractions
in the way of their recovery.
The whole of the question was fully before the
PeoPle-fhe election entirely Ringing upon IL and
we offer our sincere congratulations to the good
people of Mississippi on the result.
II is well understood that the numerous decisions
in the lower courts, in favor of just debts will now
all be confirmed in the High Court of Appeals,
which the debtors fondly hoped they would evade
had Judge SHARKEY been defeated.-N o. Bulletin.
On the same subject, we find in " the Southron,''
printed at Jackson, the seat of government Of the
State of Mississippi,) the following article, fully
sustaining the views taken by the Bulletin" of the
effect Of the election Of Judge SHARKEY:
he efforts the part of the Desructves to dragoon the
Democratic party into the support of Party Judge have met
with most signal rebuke The People have arisen ia their
majesty and proclaimed through the baobox that the Judi
clary shall be independent Independent Democrats uniting
with that portion of the Wing party which regarded principle
as superior TO interest," have eeected pure upright and
talented man, WILLIAM L. SaAnKEr, by glorious and ti-
umphant majority Hencefoh the country is SAFE because
the Judiciary Free and has been made by the assistance
and united action of the ghhnkng Independent voters of
both parties Let henceorh say that the election Of
the Judiciary not safe in the hands of the people of Mis-
sissippi
God forbid that in congratuatng the people, the whole
people, this most important and glorious result should
take from Democratic brethren that need of praise which
they justly deserve. Without their aid is well known
the Wing party, if united man. could have achieved
this great thing Let it be warning the clique would
have chained them to their and gagged hem again
NEEDLE with the purity and independence of the Judiciary
of this noble State.
We cannot find words to express qualification at this
glorious result. Every intelligent welwisher of the State
will feel pride swelling his bosom which be in
creased by any thing jackson Soutro Nop s.
