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. ROBERT SHORT. 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. ° u Wl *‘ please tike up the stitches in tills scribble, written currente calamo , and in ad of a hurry.

Heoolved, That we. regard the re-organization of the Democratic party and the cordial reunion of its two wings on terms of perfect equality, as essential to the promotion of its principles and that we deem the triumph of those principles as essential to the existence, happiness and pros perity of the Union.

Resolved , That we do appoint the following gentlemen, Charles D. Pittman, Thomas Arnold, Isaac Lane, Stephen Willis and Col. J. M. Flowers, as suitable delegates to attend the Congressional convention shortly to be held at Newnnn. Resolved. , That while we congratulate the Democratic j party upon I aving at the head of affairs a man of profound j and disciplined mind, of purest patriotism and unflinching | moral courage, yet our congratulations are mingled with i the deepest sorrow, wnen we remember the loss which the | Democratic party and the country at large have sustained in the death of our lamented Vice President, whom for his personal and political integrity we delighted to honor while living and whose noble, enlarged and manly soul linked him to us by ties which death itself cannot sever The resolutions submitted were unanimously adopted by the meeting.
