The great political battle is over. The
revivifying sun of democracy shines forth
in mild and brilliant VICTORY. 1t is what
the orthodox in principle had right to an.
ticipate from the indomitable courage ofthe
republican soldiers. The reports of the
gallant commanders of the different battal-
ions throughout the state, are nearly all
received, and the result of the contest in.
dicates increased strength in the democrat
ic ranks. Compared with the vote ofl643,
it shows an increased majority of some
FOUR thousand. Mississippi once more
stands out in bold relief the champion Of
true and pure democratic principles, despite
the unworthy efforts of few disafected
spirits. We read with the most heartfelt
satisfaction, in the present success, meri-
ted rebuke of all extraneous issues attemted
to be forced into the canvass. In it too,
we find an approving verdict of the princi-
pies, policy and measures of the national
administration, as exhibited in the renewed
vigor with which the sentiments Of its pub
lie advocate have been sustained by the
mighty voice of the people.


We feel proud in congratulating the
democracy of this state upon the glorious
achievement of so signal triumh. But
while we give utterance to this sentiment
we must not neglect to award to our gal
liant adversaries the praise due to brave
and honorable action, though OverpOwereC
by superior strength and numbers. The
democratic soldiers of Mississippi are truly
stern and unyielding. They never will
give up the ship of state so long as men o
worth and principle can be found to mar
it. They are resolved, now and for the
time to come, to wearther all the storms o.
battle, and untarnished by discontinue Or
defeat, to present the sacrifice of their un.
bought sufrages on the altar Ofrepublican
liberty. Let all true men, then, rally
around her. She shall adorn our temples
consecrate our trusts and inspire our la.
bors for the amelioration OF mankind. The
true spirit still animates our people and
the young men, filed with reverence foI
the great principle of their fathers, are
proud to do battle in their defence. Boldly
have we met the measures sanctioned BY
our adversaries-and strongly have we
condemned the iniquitOus tariff, which rem.
