Come apwnasnnd Lon !.

The long anticipated event has arrived. when
Gov. Foote was to announce himself in effect a
Whig.
Alta political meeting in the eastern part of the
State--at Black-water, Kemper county we be-
live--the question being put to him. which of
the candidates for Congress in this district, he
would support, declared most emphatically that
ne should support McClung. Is ii possible that
Democrats will any longer think of supporting
him? No il is impossible for devoted Demo
crat who cares for principles more than men.--or
who even cares anything for principles. to look
upon this. political demagogne with iavor, or
even respect. A true and genuine democrat, we
care not whether Union or State Rights or
whatever may have been his previous admiration
Of the man, can no more support or respect Foote
now, than he can the veriest political gambler
that ever undertook TO impose upon an honest
and Independent people. Just look at it; a man
claiming to be true and genuine democrat, and
a leader--aye, Governor at that, supporting a
red mouthed whig for Congress, than
whom no man ever possessed stronger whio
notions, or was more denunciatory Of democracy
and its principles. The fact mat McClune is a
man of talent and genius. is no reason why a
democrat should Support him. even if their can
didate were hls Inferior, which happens not to
be the case.--out on the contrary, the very fact
OF his powers as a debater should make every
deno<rat suspicious--aye, not only disirustfu
o. him, but actively oppose him. A man would
not be so chargeable of desertion of principle
who would support candidate for President OF
the United States who was opposed to him in
politics, as would he who would support CON
gresham of opposing principles The former
can but execute while the latter makes the laws.
We have ever asserted it as our belief that Foote
would come out openly and unequivoealIy for
the Whig party, if thereby he though he could
increase his chances for personal aggrandizemeEt.
And now he has verified the prediction. Yes.
this same Honorable gentlemen IS going about
the country trying to rake up past differences,
claiming TO be democrat,-but q the same time
declaring that the old party issues are dead--be-
yond the hope of resurrection. That to him they
are dead-aye, very dead. we have no doubt.
Nor have me any doubt that the jewel so much
valued of DID, honor, is dead in his bosom; and
there lies like rock upon his bleeding and putri-
flying conscience. Where is the Democrat who
can stand this, though 1t cere fouad in brother.

ANOTHER LARK

Just as Phelan retiTes from the field of blasting
we hare another mighty genius springing up in
the Tishemingos, who feels 1t his impertive du ty
to make himself known alittle wider and little
stronger, by falling into the wake of the tower
ing bark that has just past. As the crowd which
gathers upon their native shore to witness the
departure Of the weather-worn steamer, upon
which are gathered departing friends,-as they be-
hold the proud flag sinking beyond the blue PLAN,
are most likely to catch The least sound or object
that comes to the ear, or the eye, so B. N. Kin
yon knows it is with the political world.--and,
taking advantage of the political calm which
at present exists, has launched forth his mighty
billow- bounder, the extent of which no man will
ever spend time to explore, save as matter of
the history of the times. It has been remarked
| by some one that there are those who have such
an inordinate desire for notorety that they would
rather wallow in the gutter TO attract attention
than not to be noticed at all. 1t seems to us that
| this man Kinyon might, not very unjustly be
classed among that simple-souled set. After all
that has been said about the May Convention,
its proceedings and its nominees. Mr.. X. under

therewith--the situation of Foote--the dreadful
effects of secesson-the slaughtered and disgrace.

A yVora to Union Democrats

We do not suppose that many of those demo-
Gratis who acted with the Union party III '5l
have any idea Of supporting the yvhig party in
the present canvass. There cannot be any rea-
sonable excuse for their doing SO, and without
reasons, we think democrats arc the last men to
act. Letus for one moment look at the question
in its true light Is there any question before
the people involving The issue upon which the
party divided in 1851? All will say, no Then
has the Union wing been ostracized BY the
stroneer--State Rights wings Let him who
thinks SO, look at~the present State ticket The
effort on the pert Of the State Rights men in the
late Convention, to do justice TO, and satisfy
their Union brethren, ceme near defeating the
party IN the present canvass What is il then
OF which they can complain? Nothing save the
non promotion of their old leader, Henry s..
Foote. And why are the State Rights party un-
ing to do this, since he claims to be Pierce
democratic Because they have no confidence IN
the sincerity of the man: nothing else. And
have not their fears proved to be we'll founded
Instead of doing what the most of his followers
have done;-leave the vhig portion of the Union
party 10 pursue their old issues by themselves
without hanging on to their skirts for promotion
he has refused to lei 60 their support, and not
only clung to, but actually aided the whig party
in their attempt to Dreak down the democratic
party. This. he pretends. is from generous
motive. What did the vhig party lose by the
Union question: for which they are now entitled
to The support of Union men? Did they not Sc
cure more Offices than they had held in the State
for yearsi But, for the sake of the arguments
allow that they had a claim upon the Union
democrats for friendship and support,--did they
not forfeit ii all in their late State Convention
Did they not refuse to nominate single Union
democrat on their tcket2 Did they not compel
their State organ to take down the name of ey-
cry Union democrat on its "Union Ticket, and
place in its stead a federal whig Then where
was the sincerity of the party in their loud ap-
peas OF sympathy for the ostracized Union par
ty?" Do you suppose they care any more for
Fooe than any of the rest of you-any further
than they can use him to break down our party?
Not one whit. The whole matter lies in nut
she'll, viz: Foote is hanging on to the whig party
for elf-interest and promotion-the whig party
are nursing him as viper that is expected to
sink his fangs into, and destroy the emocratic
party--both Union and State Rights. The only
question then is, will the Union democrats sui
fer this, even to the election of Col. McClung in
the place of Col Singleton? or the success OF
our State ticket, we have not doubt Will
any democrat support McCiung?

Hon. .. R. Adams.

A report has been very industriously crcula-
ted by the Wings, in which il is stated that
Adams, of the Clarion, had declared in speech
at Quitman, Clark county, his opposition to the
State ticket-ora portion Of it at least. This,
like most OF their statements. has turned out to
be falsehood. In the last Clarion we find the
following notice of it:

gencer, makes an 0ff-hand speech which we de-
Iivered in that town on Saturday last, the theme

resented, and our continents are perverted IN

to the truth, the editors pen has 50 exaggerated
as to make the ideas almost entirely his own.--'
The object evidently is to manufacture little
capital for the Wing party, by widening presum

WHAT THEY THINK OF HIM ABROAD.

WHAT THEY THINK OF HIM ABROAD.
Nearly all the leading newspapers of the Union
which have spoken of him al all, have spoken
censuringly Of Gov. Foote'S late political course,
at least, so far as we have observed. They
look upon him figh;y, verbose and incon-
stant demagogue. Listen to what The New
York Courier and Enquirer" says OF him:
.Were Gov. Foote candidate for any State
office. or even for seat in the Lower House of
Congress, every friend of the compromise would
be pleased to see his laudable course on that sub
iect again endorsed by the State of Mississippi;
but the Senate of the United States is most
dignified and responsible body, and Gov.
Foote'S fightiness OF mind. profusion of words,
and INCONSISTENCY of character. render him emf
nentlY unfit for seat in that august body We
hope sincerely hat the State of Mississippi will
not inflict upon the public any such unneces-
sary annoyance as the reelection of Gov. Foote
to the United States Senate.

c. Ion-the Washington correspondent of
The Baltimore Sun, under date of July 7th., gives
the following interesting news items:
sThe efforts of the Administration to adjust
the fishery question in a satisfactory manner, are
worthy of all commendation and support. The
neglect of this matter heretofore has undoubtedly
brought il to very dangerous crisis. The course
of the Administration on the subject was decid-
ed upon in the Cabinet meeting, last week. and
il is said to combine moderation with decision
and frmness. 1t will necessarily require some
time to effect the diplomatic arrangements now
in contem plation and meanwhile it is of the
utmost consequences thai the American fishermen
whatever may be their luck, viii keep their pow
der dry
1T is now rumored that the administration
has finally adopted the Union as their exclusive
organ, and that it is to be under the editorial
management of Messrs Nicholson and Eames
Every one knows that no administration can get
along without an organ. Gen. Taylor's admins
trarion put themselves above organship for
awhile, and the result was the correspondent Of
