More Whig Triumphs.-It is scarcely neces-
sary to say that in Alabama, we, the Wings, on
ly hoped to reduce the Jackson majorities, and
thereby exhibit the march Of intelligence and
the determination of the People never to sub.
scribe to the most odious doctrines and pratt
ces of Monarchy under the form a Repu6iic.-
But We are proud to announce that there is great
reason to believe we are destined to be egregi-
ously disappointed in the vote of alabama: and
instead of showing only decreased Jackson
majority, that State is about to prove that she
has forever cast aside her Jackson PROPOSES
sions and now stands redeemed and disenthrall-
ed! This is indeed a most glorious anticipa-
ton, and yet not without warrant.
AS is well known to our political readers the
counties Of Mobile and Montgomery are the arg-
est in the State, and heretofore have been con-
sidered the strong holds of jackson and Yam BIZ
reniSn: We have a letter now before us, by
which it appears that in the city and county of
Mobile, where heretofore, the Jackson vote has
heen more than t,oo to one the result at the late
election, is as follows:
Wigs. jackson.

In Montgomery county the strong hold of the
Jacksonmen. where heretofore the Wings have
never presumed to run a candidate, and where
the vote has been unanimous in favour Of Jack
son and Glory, Mr.. BIBBEY the WING candidate
for the Legislature and Mr. GILMORE the Wing
