The LATE ELECTION IN ALABAMA
The administration presses throughout the
Union are claiming Alabama as then
own, and as having given in her adhesion
to that rank Federal measure, the Sub.
treasury scheme; and although we have
been under the same impression, and had
given over Alabama to the spoilers, il
seems that all have been in an error re.
speeding the matter. The last Huntsville
Advocate, one of the ablest, and withal
one Of the most dignifed and candid
journals in our sister State, thus speaks Of
the result Of the late political conflict
The late election in Alabama, we have
reason to believe has resulted in oPposl-
ton to the Sub-treasury scheme of finance,
and so far as that is Ia test, in opposition
to the leading measures of Mr.. VAN Blu.
REN's Administration. So far as the SEN
timents Of members elect to the Legisla.
ture are known, majority is also opposed
to National Bank. We, therefore, con-
slider the State fairly "oB The. fence" and
ready to cooperate with such policy,
springing from whatever quarter it may, as
viii best ensure the benefits of sound cur
rency and return of prosperity to the
country. We have seen in the papers
numerous calculations Of the strength of
parties, which we know in many par
ticulars to be erroneous, but they are not
of the least Importance as it respects the
influence of this State upon pending cleo
tons In other States, and, therefore, It
would be a waste of timeito attempt their
correction, before the meeting of the LIE.
gislature in November. If the issue. be
made Sub-treasuy orno Sub.treasurv, we
cannot doubt that large and decisive ma
jorIty of the Legislature viii be found op-
posed to it, as the People of the State
most PROFESSIONALLY are.-So far as we
have heard, only one Sub-treasury man,
Judge SNIrH) was elected from this
county, and his election did not turn upon
that question.
Public sentiment In this State is steadily
progressing and settling down against the
measures of Mr.. Van Buren,, who. with
