Gov. Toote on the Administration

Gov. Fooe, OF Mississippi, in reply to the invitation
ofthe committee Of the National Democratic Jubilee
held in the city of New York, the 23d of Novem-
Der, writes scathing letter upon the Administration.
The receipt OF the letter delayed and it ij not
appear in theiNew York papers until Friday lasl We
publish it in full below aad commend it to the aten-
ton OF our readers. The prominent part which this
distinguished member of the Democratic party has
borne against Northern and Southern flnaicism give,
importance to his letter. While Senator Of the
United States he hied zealousy against the assaults
of Free Sosm on the Compromise Measures and tho
Union. In the canvass for Governor of Mississippi
he struggled hard and trurnphantly against the spirit
of Secession which then threatened to sundcr the
Union. For his course both in the Senate Of the Uni
ted States and candidate for Governor Of Mssis-
sippi he received the highest gppova from the Ma
t.onal Democracy Of the whole cosntry GOV Foote
