attempt upon the part of Judge l’s friends to
make him put a better southern l ights man than

has asserted, as far as we have seen ot heard, that
he is either a stronger Southern Rights man. of
a sounder politician than cither of the two distin

self, claims no such precedence—he ottd they are
all ready to admit, and do admit, that he bn- no

claim Jo poliflent orthoddfcy, than these or any
other prominent men In the Democratic ranks of

In commenting upon tho proceedings of the
Democratic meeting, held in this county, some
weekssiuoc, wo used tho following language ;
“A {inferenceof opinion existed as to the pro- i
prioty of passing resolutions touching our Feder
al relations. The majority, however, thought it
wise to give tho Administration the charity of its i
silence upon many of its measures. ’’
This has been quoted and hawked about by the \
opposition press with a good deal of gusto and
apparent satisfaction. Tim words used express
precisely the meaning intended and no more.
The policy of the administration in regard to a
Pacific Railroad—its abduction of Walker from
Nicaragua—its advocacy of a tariff ami educat
ing Africans—meet our hearty disapprobation.
At tho same tieic.4t would bo unjust and ungou
ts rous in tho Democratic party to withhold its
support from the Administration in many of its ;
leading measures. Could the Democratic party
have expected more of the Administration than
its noble stand for tho admission of Kansas into
the Union with a pro-slavery Constitution? Did
not Mr. Buchanan send iu aim ##ag# to Congress
urgiug the admission of Kansas, when she first
applied for admission? Was not the South sat
is licit with his course, and did not praises go up
for him from the Southern Rights presses? Were ,
they not prepared to hoist the tlag of dissolution,
if Kansas had been woutonly rejected? Surely
•Mr. Buchanan deserves some credit for this or
Mr. Douglas deserves no blame? Resides, Mr.
Buchanan suppressed the rebellion in l tali in a
manlier worthy of praise. Ho settled tho ques
tion of the right to search our vessels with tuorc .
advantage to American commerce than any other ,
President. He vetoed the groat land-swindle bill,
which appropriated lands to tho amount of six :
millions of dollars for Agricultural purposes. Ho I
vetoed likewise a hill appropriating a large sum
of money to clear out the St. Clair fiats. Thus,,
it will bo seen, that his administration has not |
been a failure. The Democratic party will “give
unto Cicsar the things which are the.-ar's” —they
o ill do “justice though the Heavens fall.”
They cannot repudiate the administration in
toto -neither Can they endorse it unqualifiedly.
V proper mean must be observed, which, while it
does not commit the parly thoroughly to its sup
port, does not condemn it in express terms. The
very nature of the ease suggests such a course
for Lit*Democracy. It ouu#i#t# with truth, jus
tice and integrity aud to pursue any other w -old
bo unwise, ungenerous and dinrger>us so the sue
cess of our party ovor that, which huß uo other
bond of union but tho spoils, nor the dignity <>•
bear even a name.
Letter ol ,1. L. Fugli, Kw|.
Wo have read with ix*al gratification, tho letter
of this gentleman to the people of the second
Congressional llistrictof Alabama. Ifcjsprecise
ly Stuck a letter, as any one acquainted with him,
would have expected from his pan thrown oil'in
his accustomed, open-hearted and sledge-hummer :
wuy. It contains an curnostaud patriotic appual
for harmony to the people of the tiourii —conjures
LluiM to forego. Uioir petty divisions and partisau
f'-llios, and unite as brothers in demanding tile ful
measure of thcii* rights.
In reply to the questimi, ‘-where lies the safety
->f the South in the Union !” Mr. l’ugh responds,
“not in National Organizations,” hut in the union
of tho hearts and arms of her own sons, lie thinks
that tho only men in the North who arc prepared
to conocde to us our constitutional rights, belong
t > tho Democratic Party, but he distrusts tho abil
ity of any National Organization to preserve the
fortress of Southern Bights against sacking by
the Abolition vandals. The two systems of civi
lization maintained by the Northern and Southern
portions of tho Union arc diverse and hostile and
cannot be made to harmonize under one govern -
ment. The fact that they have eo-existed thus
far he explains by referring to the “many Cowpro
mise* In which Southern Rights have been
Micriticcd upon the altar -d'param unit Union ism i
uud National party harmony.” in remedy oft hi*
state of things, Mr. I'ugh says:*
“Then let us labor together to spearo Union
among ourselves, ('ease these disgusting quar
rels about party names and discourage strife for
party ascendency. There ought to be but ‘-tie party
at .the South, and that party should plant n.-d
upon the Calhoun doctrine of State Rights; and
whenever these rights are invaded or receive no
! protection in the States, and Territories, and up
on the high seas, or whenever ;t Black Republi
can is elcvtetl President of tho Foiled States, that
party should be pledged uninistakeably to a did
suluju-n ol the Union, by separata or joint State
action.”
In conclusion, wo subjoin tbb tvtfo last para
graphs of the letter.
‘•I do nnl pretend to claim more for tho dm
eratie masses of Alabama than 1 am willing to
concede to the musses in this state outside of that
organization. Jt is not my intention to institute
fttTciisivo comparison, but to induce our people to
discard the old party prejudices engendered by
pa t struggles, and unite in the preparation of
the present dominant party ill Alabama for res
istanee by secession, whenever the contingencies
happen which I have enumerated. And I sub
mit to every fair mind, unclouded by prejudice,
whether nr not my proposition is reus*.liable arid
practicable. Admit-thatonr principles and pur
poses are all the same—that we have an institu
tion upon tho preservation of which depends our
very exist a lice as a people, then your want of eon
fid cnee in the integrity of the denioenafic party
of Alabama is the only difficulty in the way of
harmonious co operation. V\ bemtver you place
your refusal to affiliate with us upon that ground,
then commence* tho work of detraction, diminu
tion and recrimination, comparin'’ antecedents
Ao., and judging from tlm |w*t I should say it
was most likely that game would result unfavor
ably to tbo opposition.
I have no doubt but what the gallant and pa

qUCßtod by Gcu. J. N. Bethuue to state that ho
Is an Independent candidate for Congress in tho
2d District, find Bays “he makes the question of
Freo Trade and Direct Taxation the issue, and
will nddress his fellow uili/om* upon that topic.”
We sco by tho Corner Stone, however, that there
is # another issue pressing itself'on the General,
in tho shapo of a summons from the Mayor’
Coart, to allow cause why ho should not be fined
for violating the City Ordinance* in (selling veg
etables before market hours. Beit known that
tho City of Columbus, with a view, we suppose, to
improving their market, have established tho
same regulation* which prevail in Mae on, roqui
ring marketing, in certain hours, to bo yoikUmlex
clusively at tho market house. General Methane
lias felt called upon to resist this ordinance as
tyrauieul and illegal, lie has made an issue by
instructing bis gardener to soil vegetables with
out regard to it, and ho responded editorially to
the summon* to answer, by saying that he ‘can
not afford to waste time in disturbing Mayor Wil
kins and the Clerk of tho Council in their inno
cent amusement of pronouncing and recording
tines against him.’ lie is going to test tlio con
stitutionality of the Ordinance, and lie argues
against its policy and legality to the length of
throe columns. Thus the General has another
issue before him, aud wo think if is more •! :i live
issuo than thu ‘direct taxation’ bu*inuss, which, if
tho General could succeed in establishing, he
would only entail upon himself the execrations
of Ilia constituency. Here, on tho other hand, is
an issue upon tho soiling of eggs, butter, chicken*
and vegetables, at all hours and at all places, a
question manifestly within all comprehension;
of general interest mid of a substantial character.
Wo mean no die respect when wo advise the Gen
eral to put himself on this chicken question, and
there never was a rooster Imtebod yet, too gallant
or indomitable to emblemize the spirit and hold
ness of Gen. Belliuno in bis principle .
We should be sorely tempted, if we lived ill the
.Second District, to give our friend tho lift of a
single vote at least,, not becaiiso we agree with
binioneither of those questions, Imt simply in

On Tuesday night last, a tire occurred in till -
city, more destructive, perhaps, than any which
hasevor visited iis. It originated aboutH o'clock
in tho Alabama Warehouse. ’ Appearing first in
the Northern part of the yard of the building near
tbo w.iltvviib'li separates it from theFoliluuie ware
house, it spread southward with astonishing ra
pidity, and soon tho whole area was a sea of flame.
Indued, from the almost io:laiitaneoußeomjiiJti<*ii
of the. whole nun s, the opinion is very general,that
it must have been tired in several place*. Thai
it was the w*rk of ait incendiary, there’ is vex.v
little room to doubt Tho conclusion is supported
by the tact that the tire was Hint obserVud in u
portion of the yard where lire wait never earre i.
a* by what we have already plated in retereon;
to the rapid envelopment of tho entire *tructur<.
IT fe tin’ common belief that the tire was eohiinu

Political Movements.
We noticed, the other day, a coll for u politic
al mooting in Culuuibu*, Georgia, of all who aro
“oppoiHid to tho administration. Well fhlu meet
ing ot tho opposition and “the root of mankind, '*
ha* curio off, shown its baud and developed it*
proportions. It turns out to bo tho “gamp old
coon” which ventures to poke it* nose out of it*
hollow aud look around to sec what gain to it
self uiuy*be eked out of cxinting Democratic
trouble*. Our “old coon” present* himself in u
plight rather to excite compassion, inn ing an
exceedingly emaciated, attenuated and Hturvud
look, and consequently vory hungry for any sort
<f political luntdi it can get. Poor old follow 1 Hi*
feeling*, when he look* upon thu old party which
in “Tippecanoe and Tyler too,” woe
slick and fat and sauoy like himself, and which
i# now but the shadow of what it wax, may bo
mure easily imagined than dotierilied. Alas, and
ala*! for those palmy day* when the tramp of a
great party (tiutditnl with bard cider and anima
ted to deeds of heroic daring by tho huiry banner
of the “coon skin,” fluttering in tho breeze, and
waving like Navarre's white plume above tho
roar of battle) woe heard upon every hill nnd
valley, inarching down upon tho confused dem
ocracy u tho tunc of In a, Vna, little Van it a
lined up man ! Poor conn! what wonder that ho
mourns for the day* of glory that are past, and
like the la#t Moor, turning upon hi# loved Alham
bra with a final look, peeps out of hi* gum tteo
hole, aud give* bUtefbirtli to “<•/ ultimo tntpiro.”
As Boabdill never regained hi* romantic and
luxurious Granada, so this poor ghost of a coon,
only “revisit# the glimpfcs of the inoou” to frigh
ten whistling schoolboy# with hi# unearthly looks
and sepulchral word*. He is a “gone coon,” for
after the exceodiiigamount of mischief ho was tho
author of, while running wild iu the days of “Tip
and Ty,” . and the abominable scare ho guve tlio
Democrats, the latter no sooner caught tlio “var
mint” than they cut his tail short oft’ (sparing his
head) believing it to in- impossible for a Jlob
tailcd coon ever to cut up such untie*, raise such
a row in thecouulry, and “turn aboutpuid jump
about” at such a rate ft* he of the long tail did
of yore. So it ha* proved. Tho old coon has
had no tail to wag siiieo and whenever he appear#,
as be did tlio other day in the Uoluiuhus meeting,
lie come* like Boiiquo’a'ghost to iho tea St, an uu
weleuiue guest and an appetising intruder,neither
useful nor “rnniJiuutul at meeting of live aud
whole people. (.'hop-fallen aud curtailed a. j eiir
coon is, lie must have been mortified aud hurt at
the slim show at doing unything, made by hi* old
T riples in tho t'oltunbu# meeting. Tlvey jut re
solved that the Fcdernl Administration was a
very sinful concern, llmi tliey were “agin” it
and would join anybody who wa* “agin ‘ it. It
was their duly to nut it dmeu. aud tliey resolved

these gentlemen “rid the eouufry <f tC* misrule”
it is bound to last, if the President lives, till
March Ith, iHftfe and yet these -genth nivn * are
organizing to get “rid of it.” This i the whole
of their programme. Everything else a* to men
or niOHflures is left blank.
They appointed delegates to a eonvcmtfori to
“rid tlie country of tin mi.Mulexd such un ft<iiniu

Well have resolved to go to sleep, until in tbo
fullnemi of time und the revolution ol'the feasoug
the spring of 1801 rolls round, and then difAa up
and Hud them selves at the gate of their political
Mecca.
But feme sparks struck out in debate ou this
animated platform went to show Diui tin: “oppo
sition” are not quite agreed ou oil point* of polit
ical theory and policy. Ouegentleman, for ux
ph>, was opposed to “agitation” of the slavery
quenUoii, and “soetitui#! feeiing,” Another gcu
tb man wished it distinctly umloretood that he
was for protection to slat e property in the Terri
ritorios. Here wur a dead fecit, tor this protec
tion. that one wuuledb the identical type of that
agitation which tho otfe-r deprecated. One gen
tleman wus against Cuba, but a uu-uiber bawled
out, “Ob,yes, get Cuba!” fho same geutleiuau
condemned Mr. Bmlmr.un for. “eutouraging”
W'nikur and the tiilibu.-tors l Well wo think iho
“opposition” w\il avquit die Presiduut of jbat of
fence ill thin latitude.
The moral of the story is, that opposition to
tho Democratic party has no ground to stnud on,
•ind call tiiui nope in the South. If wu bad leen
favutpd with a popular aud loyal udininjftration,
.the .South would he a* nearly a unit in it* politic*
as can ever take place in u country where free

Few people are, perhaps, aware of llie real beau
ties of our city, especially its suburbs. If was
our pleasure to pay a visil t/ tho restdciuw of our
esiucined fellow-citizen. Col. Seahorn Jones, three
miles from the city, on Monday morning, un busi
nuss matters. Kre the bright aud glorious sun
had arisen from hfe couch, we were ou the road
amongst the green forests, vocal with a thousand
notes of praise troui the leathered warbler* of the
forest. A short rldg served to bring us befere tho
Fiduiiul’s hospitaldeuiaiision, passing ou the road,
the handsome and newly erected edifice qj his
sou, lion. J. A. Jones, whose groiiuds are moat
beautifully luferuod, with llowers, shrubbery, and
an embryonic orchard. SVe were met by Col.
Jones on his door step, add ijl directly tu the in
spection of some us tine stock in the cal lie line as
wo ever have seeu. For our especial bene lit, he
caused tube measured the milk taken fruma full
breed Ahternny cow, which he is olid iug for sale.
The result was, alter the milk hud stood suflicieiit
ly lng for all the foam to subside, two-gallon*
of very rich milk. From the Colonel ami hi*
amiable wile, wu received much valuable infor
mation upou the pro-pur management of milch
cow*, a* well as the proper laud of food they
should have. Having tinishod our look at the
< ows, we were shown the huh pond, a west pie
turusquo spot ; where screened trow the scorch
ing ray* of ilicbuii, one may sit at early morn,
or dewy eve, and study practically thu doctrine*
of leak Wni ton. But one of the most interest
ing arrangement* of the grounds ol the Colonel
wu* tlm tbrcing>pnug water into, and throughout
his dwelling, by the use of u hydraulic ram. It
was the first wo hud ever seen in use, and wu* as
tonishing to u*, tu watch the regularity of tlm op
eration of its pulse-like valve, acting a* a force
pump, thus forcing the water wherever desired and
to any height.
1-muiediuteiy in front of the dwelling, aud sur
rouuduU by a iimacoileotioji of oboioo llowers and
shrubbery, selected and cured for by his estima
ble lady, is a beautiful and magnillcent fountain,
from which tho water play* in graceful streams,
imparting u. most pleasant and balmy feeling to
the Uiui uing breeze.— Son of yetterday.
