TeIegi aphic SUNNI ry-Good News from
mississippi.

We refer our readers 10 our Geographic advices
for the good news from Mississippi 1t will be
recollected that, after the passage of the compro-
mise measures by Congress, Governor Quitman,
believing that those measures involved a series of
outrages upon the equal rights of the Southern
States, called extra session of the Legislature,
10 consult upon the policy of Mississippi in this
crisis. The alternative involved, is either to con-
cent 10 the adjustment, OF TO repudia.e it, and
proceed TO the initial steps for seeding from the
Union.
In conformity with the call of the Governor, the
Legislature has convened, and has been for nine
days in session. Their proceedings, though ind-
eating, as far be judged from dispatches,
good deal of excitement, are yet of very good
complexion.
General Foote had delivered in the State House a
speech in defence of his conduct, which appears TO
have been received with enthusiasm.
Considering that Mississippi originated the Nash
vile Convention, by resolutions adopted in con-
venton of the State, and that she has always been
regarded as second only to South Carolina in her
extreme constructions Of State rights, this is cheer
ing news. The position OF Mississippi is important
10 the Union. II she sustans the ulra doctrines of
South Carolina, il will only require the latter to
move in order to light up the beacon fires
of secession from the Atlantic to the Misss-
sippi but if the State of Mississippi consents
20 the adjustment, the cordoa is broken, and
the fiery little commonwealth of the Palmetto
State will have time for cool reflection in being left
alone Georgia, at the State convention, called to
meet upon the same subject, next month, will,
PROBABLY, have large majority in favor Of the
onion; and Alabama waits upon her move
ments Texas is al. right, by an overwhelming
majority
With all these cheering Indications, it is ap-
parent that the only remaining immediate danger
10 the Union, is from the Northern nullifiers,
and the extremes to which they may drive the
agitation upon the Fugitive bd during the approach
ing session Of Congress Let the Union men
stand firmly together The great danger is in
