FOR THE TIMES AND SENTINEL.
‘'That Whig lick”—lts author, and Aiders and
Abettors.
Messrs. Editors: About the most amusing (because lu
dicrous) thing I have seen lately, is a short ‘article iu the
Enquirer of the 17th inst., in relation to that “Whig trick.”
And were it not that Mr. Flournoy has attempted to rival
l.aron Munchausen, in his effort to palm off upon his
readers fiction for facts, 1 would not now trouble you
with this “memorandum.” But here’s to the matter.
The incident alluded to in my last, in relation to a certain
Scott Whig and a certain individual calling himself a Union
Democrat, occurred within twelve steps of the door of the
Enquirer office. But this is not all. This “leading” Scott
whig was heard to speak of this “movement” the next
morning as if he knew all about it. Besides, 1 have heard
this anonymous hand bill spoken of frequently, and enquiry
made as to who was its author; and 1 have heard of but
„uc individual calling himself a Union Democrat, responsi
ble for, or connected with it. When, then, it is known that
this self sty led “ Union Democrat” is an especial favorite ]
of the Editor of the Enquirer —that he has “puffed” this
individual extravagantly in his paper, no less than three
times (if I mistake not) in less than three years; and that
tli*ir intercourse and intimacy ri still such that this individ
ual can he found “almost any time” or “any day” about
and around the Enquirer office—under these circumstan
ces, and to those knowing the parties, is it not drawing j
rather too strongly upon the credulity of reflecting men, or j
men of common sense, when they are asked to believe that ;
“whigs knew nothing about the move, had nothing to do
with it in any shape or form” ? It appears so, to Robert
Short.
But there is another point in this editorial, and hut for it,
perhaps this deponent would have “said nothing.” In the
face of the published account of the proceedings of the
Fierce or Democratic meeting which appeared in the
Tirnes and Sentinel of the 13th inst., the editor of the En
quirer speaking of the Union democrats, says—“ They j
nave been excluded, so far as this county is concerned,from j
participating in tlie selection of candidates for Governor and S
Congress, and virtually told they are unworthy to mingle j
their councils in the approaching Conventions, with the j
unadulterated.” From one so ready to tender advice to
others, “of thi > fact. our neighbor should have informed
himself before mentioning such a covert and sweeping”
statement. But he would not he “informed,” though the
“dead be raised.” The editor “would not be comforted,”
because u /iis child’s” name was not there—and such being i
the case he drew upon tho imagination in the face of a fact.
Jl the editor had “informed himself” he would have learned
that Union Democrats were not only not excluded, but
they were invited to attend the meeting. Had he “inform
ed himself” he would have learned that among those at
that meeting and who participated in its deliberations,
were tiie Hon. Marshall J. Wellborn and Dr. J. F.
Bozeman, tvvo ot the most prominent and sterling IJn on
Democrats in the county. These gentlemen are men of
intelligence and ofhigh standing—and in the private walks
of life, few have made “so high a mark” witn their fellow
citizens, and “none stand higher than they.” But the po
litical position of such men attracts not the attention of
th<* editor of the Enquirer. These gentlemen and other
Union Democrats, do not put themselves “in the market”
and keep themselves “in the market” and are alwaya“up to
the highest bidder”—or refuse to act with a party that their
P incipleslead them unless that party ‘bargains’ with them,
and “agree” to give them office. They think for themselves
and act for themselves ; and look to a consciousness of
rendering “good service” to their country, as their highest
reward. They do not hang around the editor, and know
his wishes and do them,and ask for puffs. No, not they.
And lienee, though the e gentlemen were present;
and one of them appointed on a committee to select dele
gates to both Conventions ; and this one was actually pub- j
fished as one of the committee, and appointed delegate to
the Gubernatorial Convention ; yet according to the En
quirer, these Union Democrats “nave been excluded, so fai
ns this county is concerned, from participating in the selec
tion of candidates for Governor and Congress,” &c How’
blind—and how uninformed ! Had some of those, who
“pull the strings” with, and for the editor, been in that
meeting, by his counsel and advice, he would have seen
“straight©!.” Or had his frk-nd “Sandy” been there, per
haps he could have “heard of” or “recognised” “Union
Democrats” in the meeting ; but as it is, he now “sheds
tears.” Well,
“Birds of a feather
Will Hock together,
And stand up for each other.”
And “ by their fruits ye shall know them /”
Yours, Messrs. Editors, till another time.

FOR THE TIMES AND SENTINEL.
Mobile, May 12, 1853.
Messrs, Lomax cf- EM B —
Sirs : 1 had the pleasure of telegraphing on Tues*
day evening, that a large meeting of the citizens of Mobile
—composed too of the very cream of its men of intelli
gence, talent, enterprise and property —had unanimously
recommended a subscription by the city of Mobile of
one million of dollars to the Girard and Mobile Railroad
company. I attended, tlie meeting, as you may suppose,
a deeply interested witness of its de liberations. For years
this road lias been my pet project. If you will take the
trouble to look back to your files, you will find that five ;
years ago, l commenced writing about it, and have never |
ceased from lime to time, since, to awaken the attention j
of the Mobile press to the importance of the subject, and
through iht* press to reach the ears, the energies and re* j
sources of the Mobile community. At this meeting, all ;
that I had hoped and striven for, stood revealed in full- i
grown development. On returning here last, week, I
found tiie worthy President of the Girard and Mobile Road
was here, and that he had most happily chosen the propi
tious moment tor his advent. Every body was talking,
‘Girard Rail Road’; and when tho meeting was organized,
I found it was carrying coals to Newcastle to otter it argu
ments or persuasions in favor of a project, which was iu
favor with every body. All the speeches w ere for it—not
one dissenting voice or opinion heard. The million was
voted without a struggle, and l have no doubt, another half
million would have been put down on the road to meet a
demonstration that such further sum was necessary to so*
euro the building of the road.
Mobile has slept a long sleep of apathy in regard to im
provements of tiiis sort. 1 know of no place that can hold
a light to her in this respect, except Columbus. We know
how Columbus was waked up, and how thoroughly she
was aroused by the shock to her senses given by tlie com*,
plction of the South Western to Oglethorpe. * A failing
off* of 20,000 bales of the staple, and desolate streets
through one whole dreary winter, proved more potent are
gumentsthan all the philosophy that speaking and printing
could use to reach conviction. It was the ease of the ob
stinate turtle that would only move when the coal of fire
was put on his back. Columbus did wake up, did shake
herself in her strength, and by tills time I suppose your
iron way reaches the salts at Savannah. Mobile, too, has
done nobly, the past few years. Their road to the Ohio
river proves her to bo capable of great efforts, and that her i
people possessed the minds to conceive and the energies to
execute grand achievements in Internal Improvements.—
Their action on Tuesday night has tully redeemed their
character from the reproaches of past lethargy, and this
minute, there is not a community that l know of, more
buoyant, lively and ready for action in this regard than
this; with the exception of Savannah, who, I verily be
lieve deserve, the palm of indomitable energy and perse
vering will. Mobile does not mean to stop with her Ohio
Hoad and her liberal grant to the Girard. The means to
deepen her harbor, and make a ship channel to her j
wharves; and she means to see to it, that when you come
down to ns from Columbus by rail, you can, if you
choose, jump aboard of another train, and whisk away to
New Orleaus in eight hours running time. A road hence
to N. Orleans will be buiit in less than five years. Forth©
prosperity of the Ohio road, I refer you to the annual re
ports of its officer just made, and published in the papers
of this week. The entire line through Alabama, Missis
sippi* Tennessee and Kentucky to tiie Ohio river, is under
contract, with the exception oi 40 miles in Kentucky, for
which contracts tire on the point of being made. Tlie
company possesses a property capital of $8,372,175, with
which to build their road, and the grand enterprise which
a few years ago was a bold conception of a daring mind is
now a thing assured— a tiling firmly fixed oil the bus sos
triumphant success—a fact accompli.
I lie polittcul parties of th ; s district have made their
congressional nominations. Col. P. Phillips, for the
Democrats, and E. Lockwood, Esq., for the Whigs.—
They are both men of intelligence, grea” public spirit,
worthy, high toned and honorable men. Political parties
command respect and challenge confidence when they
oil-r such nun to the popn’nr suffrages. Wh-ch ever one
of them is elected, the district is sure of a most worthy
and ble repn-sen tafive.

ship, and with them go forth to battle under the glorious

In the varied relations of son, brother, husband, father,
and friend, he was an ornament to society ; in his death the
State has lost a most estimable and valued citizen and his
church a useful member, fie leaves a devoted wile and
two children to mourn their irreparable loss: but, in their
deep affliction, they have the consolation of knowing that,
although anxious to live with and for them, he was prepared
for the last great change, and submissive to the Divine will.
A Tribute of Respect.
Whereas, it has pleased the Supreme Grand Master of
the Universe,to remove from our midst under peculiarly
afflicting circumstances our much beloved Brother, it if.

duced, and desiring to manliest our sensibility on the mourn
ful occasion :
Be it therefore, Resolved, That in the death of our Broth

ioss. Asa friend and brother he was frank, open and gen
erous ; as a Mason exemplary, as a husband kind and af
fectionate ;as a father fond and dealing, ft may truly be
said ‘‘that those who knew him best loved him most,” and
we rejoice in the beliel that our loss is his eternal gain.
Resolved, That we sincerely sympathise with the widow &
orphans of our departed brother in their severe bereavement
and cau truly say, “be comforted, wipe away your tears,
your husband and father was a worthy Mason, and Masons
know their duty.”
Resolved, That the members of this Lodge as a token
of respect and esteem they feel for the memory of our de
ceased brother, will wear the usual badge of mourning for
thirty days.
Resolved, That the above preamble and resolutions be
published in the Times and Sentinel and Enquirer of Col
umbus, Ga., Masonic Signal, Montgomery, and also the
Chambers Tribune be requested to copy, and that a copy
signed by the Master and countersigned by the Secretary
with the Seal of the Lodge affixed, be transmitted to the

From South America. —The following letter will show i
that Earthquakes and Civil Wars are not all the calamities
they have to provide against in that quarter of the world.
Diseases incident to our own elimate, also find their way
there, as will be seen by the .cmedy they seek for protection.

1 o Dr. J. C. Ayer, &.C.,
Dear Sir: We have the pleasure to report on your ship
ment of Cherry Pectoral to our house, the whole quantity
sold, and a pressing demand for more, which must await
the arrival of further supplies. Its success in curing diseases
ol the lungs, and its consequent notoriety, has excelled any
medicine ever used in this country. Most of our remedies
here are imported from England, and some of them are
rich and valuable ; but no product of medical skill from that
or any other quarter has ever won so fully the confidence of
our population as this b -autifui preparation of yours.
The article has attracted particular attention among our
most distinguished citizens, irom the fact that General Bui
nes, Pre-ident of the Republic, and the highest officer in
the State, was cured of a severe and dangerous affection of j
the lungs, by its use. He allows us to send his name, and
wishes to add the acknowledgments of gratitude for Iris I
relief.
We have the honor to be, sir,
Very respectfully, vour ob’t serv’s.,

HOP E COTTON FACTORY,
PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA.
r pilE subscriber being desirous of giving his whole attention to
X his Iron Works at New Castle, Pa., wishes to dispose ot tho
HOPE COTTON FACTORY,
This establishment enjoys an unrivalled reputation, and the
Hope Yarns always find a market, in preference to any others not
manufactured at Pittsburgh. The mill contains a little over eight
thousand spindles. The machinery is all iu perfect order, and
now in active operation, having all the latest improvement lor
making Yarns of the best quality at the smallest expense.
The property is bounded by the Alleghany River and Penn
sylvania jCanal, and consists of about five acres of ground, with
me Cotton Factory buildings, machinery and twenty live dwell
ing bouses. I wid dispose cf i’ entire,or I will soli the machine
ry, and the ground and buildings separately.
1 am prepared to sell 01 the most favorable terms, requiring
but little cash, and giving very long time, and easy payments, on
the balance.
To persons who contemplate engaging in the cotton business
in the West or South, this offers an opportunity seldom to b met
with. The same amount of machinery could not now he supplied
by manufacturers in less than twelve months, whilst this could
be removed and put in operation at once, with a reputation and
line of custom already established, worth thousands to a cotton
mill, and which it takes years to acquire.
I would subscribe.a large amount of the purchase money as
stock, in a company that would conduct Hie business here without
requiring iny personal attention.
The property, from its convenience for procuring materials, is
adinirablv situated for the manufacture of
MACHINERY, LOCOMOTIVE ENGINES, &c
To a company formed for this purpose, 1 would give the most
I beral terms, and it desired, would also subscribe a large amount

AUBURN WATER-CURE.
TIIIS Establishment is now open for the reception of patients
The location is pleasant and healthy, being on the great
Southern Mail Route in Eastern Alabama, and is about a hundred
yards from the depot, immediately adjoiniug the Railroad.
‘I he efficacy of the Water Treatment in all acute diseases, a
Fevers, Scarlatina, Measles, Small Pox, &.C., is so complete and
rapid as to seem almost miraculous; while in chronic diseases,
i. e. all diseases of long standing, as Gout, Rheumatism, Dyspep
sia, Neuralgia, Scrofula, Consumption, 6c c., it is the only effec
tual mode of arresting the progress of the disease aud eradicating
it from the system.
In the peculiar diseases of Women, the Water Cure is a sover
eign remedy, where all other remedies have failed, and iu child
birth it procures immunity from untold suffering.
Patients should bring one qnilt, a comfort, two pair blankets,
two sheets and several yards of linen diaper for bandages.
Terms according to treatment and attention required, payable
weekly, invariably. Consultation fee, $5.
