Foote, after having caught a great many Of
the good people Of Mississippi, in the enormous
gull trap built and set by him, in l%s51-eyen
enough to turn the scale Of the election Of go
werner inhis favor-4now comes out, in a letter
published in the National htetigeneer, and
humiIiatingiy says In my present retired POI
sition, II isa little disagrceable," etc. aRetir-
cd position indeedl Is this not a severe ro-
buke 30 those who 80 anxiously urged Cover
nor Foote's pretensions upon tho people, for
Governor, IN 1851 Il it not now very I'M
kind ia him, to say to them, in effect you did
not elevate me by electing me your Governor,
but have made imposition a retired onei
EsrThcre i one thing to which we would
respectfully Invite the attention Of southern
wings, and that Il, the opinion advanced in
his nsessage by Gov. Crosby, Of Maine, as he
is himself q wing, Referring to the late Pres
idential election, he spoke Of it as an event
which must crush the reasonable hopes and
schemes Of the agitators and disunionists for
this generation, at least and strengthen the
faith ofall, in the pcrpetuity ofthe Union"
Pretty good whig testimony, that! Read
and reflect on Il, all ye who feared Franklin
Pierce might be too much influenced by north
ern fanaticism, or might be already biassed
against the institution Of slavery--so much SO,
indeed, as to lend himself to schemes for its
abolition.

re- Governor Foote's recently expressed
opinion, in reference TO tho senatorial vacancy
in our State, is stilla subject Of much remark
"a majaity Of our exchanges i~nclining to the
opinion that the Governors appointee to the
vacant place, viii SO 10 Washington on a FOOLS
errand. And, certainly, we cannot see, with
all Mr.. Foote's reasoning on the subject that
the present vacancy is such a one as is contem-
plated by the constitution, and which author
ICES executive appointment. A state Of things
like that which now exists in our State, was
never contemplated by the constitution-,hat
the Legislature should pass over the time for
electing to GIL a regular prospective vacancy,
andrefase to take any action in the matter
consequently, there is no course in the premi-
ses indicated, and our governor might, in our
opinion, as well send an Envoy Extraordinary
to His Imperial Highness, Faustin list, of Hay
ii, as to send his friend Kinyon to the U. s.
Senate. .afas 1ie
Again; supposing the Governor at present
possessed Of the power, would it not follow,
that in every emergency arising from neglect
of Legislative action, and for which the consti- !
tuition has not provided, that the power to act
would next rest in the hands Of the executive
Of the state-and this being the case, thereis
no abuse. Of ~pFerogatiye which might not be
possible.
