ANOTHER LAMP Blown CURVE have
as yet but imperfect returns from the election
from the Mississippi Convention; but enough
is known To leave no doubt that the Union
men have elected majority Of the members.
Thus the last hope of cooperation is extin-
guished, unless we choose to cooperate in sub
mission. The .uississippian, the strongest
Southern Rights paper in the State, strikes the
flag OF resistance in the following terms:
"TnE WILL OF THE PEoPLE.-The scattering re-
turns of the election, which took place on Monday
and Tuesday last, for members to the convention
to assemble in November TO take action with ref
erence to the Compromise schemes of the last Con-
gress indicate the decision of the people in favor
of acquiescence. Without stopping to explain, or
to inquire into the causes which have led to this
result tits sufficient to present purpose to an
nounce it. Although there were many extrnneous
subjects introduced into the canvass to influence
votes. and to divert attention from the real ques.
tions at ISSUE yet it is idle TO cavi to murmur
at the decision. II our present opinions as to the
result of the election are realized, shall regard
acquiescencc in the so-called plan of adjustment
as the settled policy of the State.
"The sovereignty Of the people is the great fun
damental principle of the Democratic creed to
which we adhere. All good citizens should bow to
ballot box. In the first numbered this paper which
issued after il passed from the hands of its late
conductors, in closing an article on the subject of
the convention, we held this language Let the
whole subject all the testmony-the more the bet
ter-go before the people. We pledge ourselves to
abide by their decision This pledge we are pre-
pared. in good faith, TO redeem. Considering the
question definitely settled as to the course which
should be observed in relation TO past wrongs, we
shall henceforward look to the future"
From The Montgomery (44Ia) Journal, Sept. s.
MIssIssIPPI ELECTION Triumph If the Southern
Rights Union Cause The election for State con-
vention in Mississippi, called with the same view
as the one called by the Governor of Georgia last
fall, was held on Monday and Tuesday last. Both
parties--the Union and the secession-ran regular
tickets in the various counties So far as we have
heard, the result is brilliant triumph for Union
and the party of acquiescence in the Compromise
on the principles of tho Georgia platform. By
slip from the Columbus Democrat office we have
the result in Lowndes county, which had been
claimed for Quitman and Secession, thus chroni-
sled
"BRILLIANT VIoroRYi- Old Lotcndes true as
Sized We have met the enemy and they are
ours! Lowndes county sends greeting to her sis
ter counties the glorious result of the election on
Monday and Tuesday last. IL ID the first gun that
has been fired since the disunon question was rails
ed, and hundred and ninety majority for the
Union candidates tells the tale of glorious VIC
tory Brilliantly rose the Monday
ing, and brightly he descended in the west on
Tuesday as hundreds of good Union men shouted
the ralying cry of Union and victory!'
The Union members elect from Lowndes are
Barksdale, Bilups. and Cobb.
By slip from friend in Columbus we learn that
the Union majority in Noxubee is 22l, in Monroe
Bill, Madison 40, Winston 10, Pontitoc $50, and It.
awamba 300.
The Union majorities in these counties are much
larger than calculated on 1t is evident that
Mississippi will place herself by the side of her
sisters, Georgia and Alabama, and by vote equal
ly as decisive.
