Is quite evident that the modem wing party
will hold q coayeution and it Is quite as
clear that those wings who sustained Foote
in the late election, will sustain the whg
n9minee 81 National vhg convention for
the Presidency,

and public prollagacy never go onpon'shed,
But where are the pool dupes Of Foote,
known as Uajo9 Democrats, to 60 ? VIII
they fall back upon the platform OF the old
Jegeyenuian Democracy--tGe tsuc lFhic
platform OF the Revolution-the present
platform ofthe States Right party of Alissis
sippi 1t is douot.ui, III fact they are more
likely to affiliate with yhe modern whig par
ty, because their principIes are nearly jden-
tlral. ri Foote should ellthent, with his
hand upon his breast, that there was treason
contemplated, and tho Union was endan-
gered, they are just shrewcd enough to be-
leve it ...-.
Beyond all question Foote will attempt
to dragoon his party intoihe support of some
Northern Democrat for the Presidency. He
may succeed in this. He is just now very
powerful, and in the opinion OF one of his
warm federal democratic admirers he is the
greatest man in America, not excepting
Tom Benton or Andrew Jackson Donelson,
If Foote can make the wings believe that
success without him is doubtful or that il
throw him off, he will turn traitor to them,
fand the know he is capable ofsuch conducD
and endeavor to place the State in thehands
of the States Right party, he may frighten
or bully them into the support of Northern
democrat for the Presidency.-B it is
doubtful whether he can succeed. He must
drive off another body Of wings who have
supported him with great reluctance. There
are some wings in this State who voted for
Foote, who are now forever done with him,
And it is very questionable whether he is
now capable OF dupng any party in any
Srate.
In sober earnest we are not prepared tc
beliexe that Foote will ever be admitted tc
a seat in any National Organization oielthel
party. His lreachery TO the party which
placed him in the Senate will never be tor.
gotten or forgiven. He can expect no kind
Offices at the hands of men he has betrayed
and slandered
Should he present himself or his creatures
at the door of National Democratic Con
vention, he win do it without credentials
lie cannot muster men enough TO entitlC
him or his creatures to respect, and hewouit
be excluded. Can he obtain seat in q
whg National Convention We thnI
not.
Where will the Union wings of Missis

seek their abolition allies at the North, anC
attempt to reconstruct their old association
and raise old party issues. AL the Nortl
this will succeed, and some few wings ma

The States Right wings are, as we hav'

tions cautiously and pr0dently, well nfor

matters little with such men by what nam
they are known. In the language o. tha
