The Administration In N1IssIssippI.

The most significant commentary the late
speeches of Gov. Foote, in this city and in New
York. that we have seen, is found in the resolutions
lately passed by the Senate Of Mississippi by vote
of 90 to T. With so emphatic an endorsement by
the people of that gallant State, the Administration
cannot but be highly gratiied The resolutions are
as follows:
4. Resolved, (by the legislature of the State of
Mssissppi,) That cordially approve Of the ad-
mlnstraton of Franklin Pierce; that we recognize
in him firm upholder of the Union of the States
and fearless defender of State Rights expounded
and understood by the fathers of the republic.
2. Resolved, That the policy Of the President,
as exhibited in his message and executive appoint
ments in dlscounenancing all further slavery agita-
ton IN and out Of Congress-, meets our hearty ap-
probation, both account of the consonance to his
known antecedents and pledges before his election,
and because we believe that the discussion of the
exciting questions connected Herewith is eminently
dangerous the institution ITSELF and destructive OF
the best interests of the country.
3. Resolved, That the appointment by the Presi
dent of Misslssipps son, Colonel Jefferson Davis, tc
a seat in the cabinet is ust cause Of rejoicing tc
the people of this State That the President, in Sc
letting him to preside over the War Department
whilst he exhibited patriotic devotion to the inter
est Of the whole nation in the choice of one possess
ing such eminent abilities, at the same time manifest
ed becoming Difference 10 the voice of the peop
OF the South in making integral portion of hi
administration that hero and statesman, who is NJ

ale, than for his patriotic devotion to the interests
