Fate OF Compromise Men.

Gen. Foote has issued an address to the people OF
Mississippi, in reference to the recent defeat ofthe
Union party in that State. Heis very severe up
on the President and the Secretary of War. Mr..
Davis, charging that the full force Of the execu-
tive patronage was brought to bear in favor of the
Secessionists. This is curious spectacle, and
will form an interesting chapter in the future his
tory of the country. year ago President Pierce
was elected on the flood tide of the Union and
Compromise sentiment Compromise men were
then in the ascendant; now, Dickinson and Bron-
son, Foot, Cobb and Clemens are repudiated, and
:heir respective free soil and secessionst opponents
are petted and honored by the administrations
Should another emergency arise similar to the the
"epoch" of 1850, aspirants may infer from the
history of these times, that opposition TO concilia
ory measures, and "acquiescence" only when re-
,stence is useless, will best secure their political
advancement
