Mississippi Election,

1t turns out that the Union majority in Mis-
sssippi is only about seven thousand, instead eff
fifteen or twenty thousand as the submissionists
reported. This portends the election of Gen.
DAVIS by decided majorty-for FooTE is
even more ridiculous personally, than submis-
sionism is theoretically. 1t is bud enough for
mississippi to submit, but it would be too bad
for her to descend to the FoorE of submission
, The following is from the New Orleans Bul-
letin, submission paper:
The RESULT IN MIssIssIPPI.-The convention
returns are all in, with the exception Of two
counties-Coahoma and Green-both Of which
have elected Union delegates. The present
Union majority is 1852 in poll Of 1862
Allowing for these counties, the full majority
will be about 1900 in vote Of $4,000. The
entire Presidential vote of Mississippi, in l84S
WAS 52,459. The total vote for governor il
lsl9-the largest ever given in the State-wa'
56,3S4. The entire Congressional vote of thu
same year was 55,442.

~ 1t is curious that Mr. WEBSTER, in hi

~ 1t is curious that Mr.. WEBSTER, in his
speech but few months since at Syracuse,
made the following prediction:
depend upon it, the law will be executed in
its spirit and to its letter. 1t will be executed
in all the great cites-here in Syracuse, in the
midst of the merit AMI Slavery convention, if the
occasion shall arise"
The prophecy is remarkably specific as to
time, place, and circumstance. And most re-
markedly has it been falshed in every particular.
In no city has ress ance to the execution of that
law been 80 general, violent, obstinate, and vic
torious.
1t is clear TO everybody but the bigots Of sub
mission, that the trainers of the compromise
either totally misunderstood the character OF
Northern sentiment, or wilfully misrepresented
il, when they promised that the Fugitive slave
law should be executed But is there, car
there be, any longer any Southern submissions
30 besotted as to pretend that the compromis,
is not broken? The finslity of the compromis
WAS the other day the motto of fragment o
the two parties in the border States. We hav
arrived at the finally of the compromise sur
enough. II was begun in fraud, it has ended il
blood.

of it as Chase, Wilmot, King, Walker, Cieve'
land, and Rantoul,
Will any Democrat who is one at heart, now
give aid and comfort To his political enemies
and thus give them strength at future time 70
strike us down! Has any one become so EN-
Uttered and aenated from his old friends, that
he would nov prefer the triumph OF those with
whom ne has so long waged violent contest,
and in whose political principles or honesty, he
has no confidence? II such there be go mark
him well and you will find that he goes out
from us, because he is not of us.
While we believe that the South has been
wronged in the late measures of Congress-
while we believe aggressions have been com
mitted upon us; that the citizens Of the North
have thrown obstacles in the way Of the quiet
enjoyment of our constitutional rights, and have
unwarrantaby interfsred with our domestic in
situations, both in and out of Congress; yet we
acquiesce in the decision of our State and for
the sake of having union ut home and giving
strength and moral force to our State abroad,
we assume the ground, with the mass of our
people, that violations Of our rights may occur,
which will amount TO intoerabe oppression.
We believe that the Democratic party, alone,
can be relied upon to ward off those measures
so obnoxious to US all, and to preserve our insti
tutons in their purity. Then, let our rallying
cry now be, the union Of The Democracy for the
sake If The Constitution and The Union Of The
States Let US stand fast and struggle on for
our ancient faith and ancient organization, and a
jealous cooperation with the sound portions OF
our old allies of the North

Il. c. Wilkinson, Chairman, DC:
SIN IL have the honor Of acknowledging the
receipt of your letter of the 18th instant, in
forming me that the committee, which was APP
pointed ty the convention In June last to fill
any vacancy which might occur in the State
ticket then nominated, had met, and found that
the vacancy occasioned by the Withdrawal OF
Gen QUITMAr had been already filled by the
people and the Democratic press Of the whole
State having nominated myself for the vacant
post, and that the committee gave to that noml-
nation their concurrence. Your letter also IN
forms me that the committee were aware that
the state of my health would not permit me to
engage in the canvass
Under such circumstances, have only to re-
ply that my whole political life has been devoted
To the Democratic cause, and the maintenance
of those principles in which originated the party
of strict construction, and faithful adherence TO
the Constitution. 1t is not in an hour when
clouds have darkened our fortune that can re-
fuse any poor service it is still in my power to
render. That cause, and those principles seem
more dear TO me now than in the day of their
triumph. -,
AS soon as my health will enable me, | will
prepare an address to the people, in answer to
the nomination, my acceptance of which has
been taken for granted At present, can only
return my thanks to the committee, and, through
them, to the Democracy of the State. for the
confidence they have thus manifested In my
willingness to meet any responsibility, or make
any sacrifice for the principles have always ad
vocated. and which still believe to be essentla
| for the preservation of that constitutional lib
erty we inherited from our revolutionary sires
Very respectfully, your friend,
JEFF'N DAVIS
