- - .: OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Tuscaloosa, NnyI2l.--ln pursuance of the reqnisi-
ton of the Constitution, both branches of the General
Assembly Of Aiabanr Convened in the capitol on Mon
~ last the 10th instant A quorum OF the members
appeared and boh Houses regularly organized and
proceeded 10 business. e.. =;
In another WELL DC OF INC
proceedings Of both Houses, upon all such measures
have vet occurred of general and interesting claractI
In the Senate. it will be perceived that the Hon muc
b. Moore, Of Pckens WAS elected President This cleo
ton although of considerable Importance yet did
not attract much interest, from the fact that both ut lie
gentlemen, who candidates. were nearly OF the
same political opinions and sentiments
In the House OF Representatives. It will likewise be
seen, that the Hon. James w. McClung, Of Madison,
was elected Speaker by majority of votes his
competitor John D. ,Phelan Esq Of the county.
In this election much interest taken. and it &C.
morally, until few hours Previous regarded as likely
to be test of the strength Of the Van Buren, and White
parties in the House of Representatives. MIR. Phean
was considered the Van Buren, candidate, and Mr. Nc.
Clunr the White candidate. MIR. McCung, it was true,
was Representative from Van Buren, county, and had
been instructed by his constituents tn support Mr. " b.,
in his Legislative capacity, which instructions, it was
said he considered valid and felt bound to obey He
was however known TO be White man in sentiments
and feelings (heng nearly connected by conSanguinity
to Judge White) and likewise regarded by tn"
White pary as favorable their views and measures.
He was con >ccuen,y selected by them their
ddatc This, however would have effected nothing. ~
itsclf-for the White party were i'll minority IN the
House. and, without the aid OF srllr OF the Van Duren
men, could never have elected Speaker. They there
fore endcavored prevent The election being made
test and for the purpose of obtaining of tho Van
Buren, men v'i1etor Mr. McCung, it was frequently
protested that that gentleman Van Burcn uan: IN
his Legislative capacity and his superior aye and cxpe-
rence were also referred additional reasons for his
support Influenced by these p.otestatons, several Of
the Van Buren, party induced to regard the tec-
ton as no longer test aud to vote tor Mr. McCung
Of this number were the tour of the Jackson county
drleua,ion ono Of the Madison delegation. Had these
flee members who all Van Buren, men, voted for Mr.
phelau he would have bern elected by majority OF

This election although i. did not result in the choice
