Since the late election in Mississippi for dele
gates TO the Convention many of her politicians
who most strenuous in their opposition to the
adjustment measures of the last Congress have
come forward and publicly acknowledged the voice
of the State to have been decisvely pronounced in
favor Of acquiescing in those measures and against
any further agitation of the slavery question, so
long as the compromise shall be maintained by
Congress and obeyed by the people. Amongst
other leading gentlemen who have thus come for
ward and grounded their arms is the Hon. WIN.
MeWHLIE, who, as member of the last Congress,
fought the compromise measures to the last, and
in his canvass for reelection. In an address to
his constituents, drawn from him by the result of
the Convention eection, he has, with the frankness
which belongs to his high personal character, avow
ed his submission to the expressed sentiment of
his State-regarding the vote on the delegate elec-
tion having authoritatvely and forever settled
the question" Mississippi (says hey has sgni6ed
her acquiesccnce in those measures, and yield to
her behest" Aerthese and similar avowals, he falls
back upon the old party issues as basis on which
to continue his canvass.
OF Georgia and Alabama and Mississippi, and vir-
tuay declared against secession or any other scheme
of violence we consider the red flag of disunion haul
ed down, and the white flag of peace and concord
hoisted in its place. The people of the South
have allowed their love Of the Union to triumph
over their sense of wrong, whether real or ina
gnary; but let us not fall into the error of sup
posing that because the flames subdued the
embers are extinguished. They may be easily
made to blaze afresh but it depends upon the North
whether they shall go out altogether. It is for
the North to say whether, by the exercise of
wisdom and forbearance, peace shall take the place
of agitation, and harmony and fraternity the place
of discord and hate. Let the North maintain the
covenants Of the Constitution firmly and in good
faith, and we shall no more hear the harsh and
hateful threat of disunion.
