THE ELECTION 1EsTERDAY.-The vote at
the election yesterday for directors in the
Jackson Railroad Company was decisive
one, and has some very gratifying points,
The most auspicious of these is the union Of
interests by which the result was accomplish
ed. The vote Of the State of Mississippi, by
Gov. Pettus, that of the State of Louisiana,
by Gov. Moore, and that of the city of New
Orleans by Mayor Stith, was cast in accord
ance with that Of majority Of the private
shareholders Interests that have appeared to
be in conflict, and which an unwise policy
have brought into collision, were united in a
harmonious effort to preserve this great work
from the contention of factions, and place it
in position where it will command universal
confidence, and combine a full and jealous
support for its successful management The
frank action OF the Governor Of Mississippi il
a welcome warrant that the questions hereto
fore in dispute in regard to the relative power
of the States, as shareholders, will be dealt
with in liberal spirit, and we are sure that a
Louisiana Legislature will deal justly and
generously with them.
The course of the Mayor has contributed
in no small degree to combine the interests ol
all parties to the stock in desirable accord
The manner in which he assumed the respon-
sibiIty placed upon him by the law, deter
mining to execute his duty with single refer
ence to the benefit Of the private stockholders,
the city and State, finds justification in the
singular unanimity Of the private stockhOld-
ers on question that has excited general in
terest. That he finds his Judgment ON the
counting Of the ballot sustained by so large a
proportion of the privaN stock, must convince
every citizen of the correctness of his deci-
sion. They, with private interests to guard,
would scarcely have exhibited so great union
of sentiment, unless change had been deem
ed expedient.
The union Of these varied interests re-
moves all suspicion of political influence en-
tering into the election. The successful tick
ct itself is pledge that nothing of this ma
ture exists.
We hail this union of counsels as an omen
that the new management will be supported
in the adoption of so discreet and energetic a
policy as to inspire capitalists with confidence,
and while securing the due execution of all
the obligations of the charter, raise the value
of the stock, to afford a prospect of reward
for their great sacrifices to the patient stock
holders.
At present, however, we only desire to con-
graduate the public on the gratifying union
of interests by which the result has been Sc
cured.
The rejection Of the vote Of the Governor
Of the State and the Mayor of the city has
had no influence upon the election. 1t has
been decided by the private stockholders by q
large majority.

WHAT ARE THEY Come To Do ABOUT IT ?
1t seems, according to private letter from
Cassus NJ Clay, published in the Post of last
evening, that he is again in hot water in Ken
tuckv. To US it seems strange that he has so
long been permitted to pollute the soil of Ken
tucky with his negro equality doctrines. No
man has a right to live in any society whose
principles are destructive of the peace and good
| order Of that society. Now, 1t Is evident to
| every one, that anti-slavery principles are
subyersive Of good order in community where
] slavery" exists, and hence, Cassius NJ. Clay
| is an enemy to the domestic tranquility Of Ken
tuclzg and ought long ago to have been eX-
! peiIed from the State. The Post says, If he
| is attacked he twill not be allowed to stand or
| fall alone This is rather ominous, and we
| feel a little curious to know what the Aboli-
| tionistS propose to do about it. II Clay be
| compelled to leave Kentucky, do they intend
| to take up arms in his behalf? 1.-The vio-
| lence," says the Post that shall strike down
so magnificent defender Of justice and free
dom, will inevitably provoke fearful recon-
pense" The Tribune says:
"The attempt to expel Mr.. Clay from Ken
lucky has been tried before, but only to recoi
upon the heads OF its authors. The hour when
| CaSSiuS VI. Gay Is eAileu from his natlFe Oldte
will be a sad one for Kentucky. From the
Free States of the North'and the Slave States
| &c the South, klaeRS rstsG sg1deat fcieaA;
azsss ~ g . dsfsass, and ms expatriatiof
| will cause the name OF Kentucky to become
a kissing and by word throughout the land
But we hope for better things from the STATE
Of kentucky. 1t cannot be that the land o
Clay can be so utterly besotted as to allow
mob law to rule throughout her borders"
Now, it seems to us that Mr.. Clays pre-
sence in Kentucky is solely a question for th'
citizens of Kentucky, and one which is jus
none of our business. Ifany society or neigh
borhood think mans political, religious o
moral teaching prejudicial to its peace and Sc
curity, we suppose they have the common
right of sclf-detense, and may invite him
leave for place where he may find more con
genial companions. IL he wants more tina
enc wife, he can go to Utah, and if he preach
es to negroes equal rights with white mer
let him go to Massachusetts,. This may
hard and cruel, bit we don't happen to Sc
it.--N \. Day Book
