THE ELECTION IN MISSISSIPPI.


The election in Mississippi will come
off on the sOth instant, and result be-
yond question, in placing the State
again in its old relation with the Federal
Union. The contest between the rival
candidates is more of az individual than
of general interest. Whether Alcorn or
Dent shall be elected, the victory will be
counted Radical triumph. If there is
a difference, it exists in the personal and
not the political professions OF the two
champions of Radical theory. Aleorn is
doubtless an honest man, but exceedingly
utopian in his ideas of government.
To-day a hot-headed Secessionist, and
tomorrow the worst of Radicals. The
excuse offered for thus becoming the
leader of the blacks, whose championship
he has lsterly espoused, was to get the
tate back again into the Union. We
rather suspecttbat General Alcorn has lit
tie regard for consistent political princi-
pies, aud steers without q rudder
hither and thither, regardless of con-
seouepces. His inordinate desire to
be a prominent man and hold Office
has taken the man by the ears, and be 10
often found in the most inexplicsble at
ti,udes before the very faces Of the men
who have been bis lifelong friends. The
great objection, as We conceive. 70 Gen.
eral Alcorn. is. that be can not be relied
on in an emergency. That is, we can
not count on his taking that chute or the
other. BE is like diver who goes un-
der the water and cannot say, himself,
where be is liable to come to the surface
again. Alcorn is honest in regarding
himself as being great benefsctor
of his people, and is evidently surprised
that all men do not appreciate him as
such.
Judge Dent, the opponent Of Al
corn, is Nissourisn BY birth. lawyer
by profession, and might be regarded IS
q man of fair ability. he is, no doubt.
capable and honest, and would be the
most Ct man of the two for Governor OF
Mississippi. His relationship with the
President would, in the event of his eiec
ton, incline theFederalG overnmeDtto be
more lenient with the people of that State,
and should be considered by those who
cont oil the bslIot.box. Judge Dent hiss
been consistent Union man, and never
violent in bis feeling against the South
eru people. Promises made BY him will
be faithfully carried out, and il is not to
be apprebended that his course here
after will be with the extreme men of his
party. Then, Judge Dent seems to be
the white mans candidate. aud that
alone should have some influence In de.
terminiug the responsibility of the State
in supporting his claims. It, after all,
is choice between evils, and every sex
sible man should choose the least. The
future of Mississippi is indeed gloomy,
and portends protrscted condition Of
present Radical rule. May the iHscru
table ways of Providence divert such 9
calamity from the people.
