The Washington Star in giving the returns as
above from Mississippi, says:
HE MISSISSIPPI ELECTION. The despatch from
jackson, Miss, which we publish to-day, is from
perfectly reliable source 1t tells the tale of the fail
ure OF the disappointed office seekers and the reasu-
ry piunderers to create in the minds of the people of
that State want of confidence in the real nationali-
ty of the Administration
The Wings were not beaten in this election, as
there were no candidates running as Wings. The
issue was between the Administration and those who
being rejected by the two great parties, have as
sumed to cheat the people into elevating them to
place. by protesting to take the Union under their
special protection Their rout is complete and over
whelming."
So Mr.. Foote is at last laid upon the shelf He
united, in the late contest with the Wings of Mis-
sssippi, and demonstrated for the dozenth time the
Importance of saving the Union but the people ap-
plauded but little and had the hardness of heart to
vote him down. Certain politicians in New York
have also been playing or less into Whig hands,
and the result is the triumph of Sewardism in that
State We undertake to say that the Union is very
safe just now; and that this thing of fighting over
the battles of the " compromise, whether in Mis-
sissippi or New York, not prorided for in the
last Baltimore Contention. Neither can gentlemen
hope to deceive the people by praisng the honest
of {IoD IL,
Cabinet and lecture him about the acts of his Admin
istration. He is responsible for his Cabinct he is
cypher, but man of plans and of nerve; he is the
Precedent and his real friends will thank no for
conceding to him honesty of intention while bis acts
are denounced and efforts made to prejudice the
people against him. This is the same policy pursu-
ed towards Gen. Jackson. He was honest-he meant
to do what right said Tallmadge, and Rives, and
Leigh and Aangum-but that fox" Mr.. Van Bu-
rem, would not let him! The next thing was calum-
nv and vituperaton. Let Democrats everywhere
profit by the experience of the past. Our main hope
is in holding togethern crushing in its very incep-
tion all treason and disorganzation-ins standing by
Gen Pierce so long as he occupies the platform on
which he was elected. The disappointed may fret,
the ambitious may fall away and strike out into
new paths, and those who think more of "spoils
than of principles may take groundaganst the Presi-
dent but the uncorrupted masses will rally as afore-
time around the cold Guard" and the schemers
and plotters will he overthrown.
eJg The Register of Wednesday last propounds
sundry questions to the Standard in relation to New
York politics If the Editor will turn to our paper
of the same date he will find views presented at
| some length on the subject.
The Editor asks US, among other questions If we
"wn join the Administration in hunting down the
Union and compromise Democracy of the North y
and at the same time " hug the freesoilers to our
ssbosom The Administration is not engaged in, nor
does it contemplate any such hunt 1t has been act
ing in good faith far it could act with propr-
ETY., to keep down the slavery agitation North and
South We. published statement in our last, to
which we invite the attention of the Register show
ing that the Administration has appointed to office
| in New York three Hunkers to one Barnburner; and
no Barnburncr has been appointed who did not stand
fairly and squarey the Baltimore platform. The
Register fears notwithstanding the recent triumph
Of the Sewardtes of New York, that the policy of
the Administration will at last unite the Democracy
| of that State, and thus extinguish Whiggery and
| Seward once for all and if the Barnburners had
| been thrown, by recent movements, into apparent
| opposition to the Administration, many of the
Hunkers have been, the Register would have taken
their part to greater less extent and would have
approached the President for alleged neglect of their
claims to notice and preferment
The Register is the last paper to charge others
/ with sympathy for freesoilers. That paper knows
that there is not Barnburner in the State of New
/ York who is not sound upon the slavery question
/ as Miard Fillmore, while the mass of the Wings of
| that State are Seward and 81 higher law men. By
the way is not the Register reoced at divisions in
I the Democratic ranks, and consequent Wing vic
tory, which must result in the reelection of William
H Seward? And does not the Editor already foresee
that he will be required, pain of political exco-
muncation, to support Mr.. Seward as the next Wing
1 candidate for the Presidency
