The Southern Elections.

VIII The Boston Post please have the
political assurance" to furnish MS with list
OF democratic papers which support the cleo.
ton # Gen. Foote IN Mississippi, and also the
name of one Wing paper which opposes his
eec,on' Although Wings were not nominated
for Governors by the Wings and Union men of
Alabana Mississippi and Georgia, It Is well
known that there Is a fair number Of Whg can
didates for the other State and local offices
Three or four Of the Union candidates for Con
gress III Alabama are Wings but as the con
test Is not confined to party issues neither of the
old parties has nominated candidates OF It's own
III Alabama. Georgia and Mississippi In Ar
kansas, North Carolina and Kentucky, the con-
test partakes more OF a party character, and the
candidates accordingly are divided more on old
party grounds.
The Boston Post certainly cannot be ignorant
OF the fact that Mr. Dargan, who was proposed
for Congress by the Democratic press OF the
Hid District of North Carolina, has withdrawn
IN favor Of G.. W. Caldwell, the regular Dem
ocratic' candidate, aud an ultra Secessionst.
who was defeated IN lsi0 for his DIsunion views.
Caldwell is supported by the Charlotte Trp
.SortLyon and prints of that stripe. and Gen.
Dockery Qnion WhIg) is his opponent.
As to Gov. Trousdale, OF Tennessee, he does
not hesitate to say that he dIsaPproyes OF the
Compromise, and that he is for repeating that
part OF 1t which suppressed the slave trade in
the District In his electIoneerIng appeals Gov.
Trousdale (who Is supported by every secession
press IN Tennessee) bitterly assails President
Fillmore, and also all the friends Of the compro
mise III Tennessee. The Memphis APpeai con-
ans a report ol a recent speech Of Gov. Tr0us-
dale, from which We make extract
The Governor also showed BY Mr.. Flllmore's
own letter, md BY Wing authority, that aif Fil-
