the State, at the late election that our cause is ey

THE SoUrH ALABAMAN-We have received the
first two numbers of the paper under The above
name, just started at Pickeusville, Ala. Dr. Lyles,
the Editor is gentleman of fine talents and extern.
s've requirements, In politics he belongs 10 the
good old democratic, State rights school. He is as
true as steel on all matters Of national policy, is
warm supporter of the present administration in all
ITS leading measures, and prefers Mr.. Van Buren,
to any other man for tie next Presidency The
paper considering the hurry in which il was got IN.
presents very respectable appearance-we mean
the second number, the first was badly printed. for
which The Editor gives satisfactory apology. The
editorials exhibit both spirit and ability. We cor.
daily extend the right hand OF fellowship to our
nelghoor, and wish him every success both IN ra.
e"nary and political point of view. The democr,
ey Of Old P'ckens and the adjoining counties will
surely sustain him,

could not have been made. Mr. Craig's stsIi'
honesty, integrity and high standing, togeihe VI
his peculiar fitness for the duties Of the QUO
Of Treasurer prove the wisdom Of Gov. McN%
selection.
Mr. Craig is Of course a candidate for e''

permit ourselves 10 doubt his success. IN M,
Mississippi he will receive the votes Of hund''S

CAUTION To THE WHIGs,

We wish our Wing friends throughout the State to
remember (remarks the Hartford Couran!, and we
adopt the sentiments in place Of our own that one Of
the important elections ever held in this State. is
at hand. Last year the Wings throughout the State
rallied nobly at the polls, and brought out nearly their
entire strength, and the consequence was glorious
triumph. The State Ticket and the Legislature were
carried triumphantly. To consummate our victory,
and to rescue Connecticut from the last grasp OF the
loco focos, one more mighty effort is necessary.-
Wings Of Connecticut! win you withhold that effort
VIII you not hurI back with indignation upon John
M Niles, his insulting taunt, that the Wings Of Con-
necticut cannot for years successfully bring out
their strength? Our friends should be aware that the
locos making the most desperate attempts, to car
~ next election in every nook and corner Of the
State and they will stick at nothing which fraud or
corruption can accomplish. One part Of their plan is,
to apply all hei. force to those towns which
" balanced in politics. in order to carry the Repre-
senta,ives 0fhs they boast already and say that
will carry the House Of Representatives.
Let the Wings in oil such towns look to this: The
locos can and must be defeated and with the noble e
forts made by the Wings last year, again repeated,
they will be, and we shall return six Wing members
Of Congress.

SPRING.

Borne slow, on gentle waving wing,
From midas verdant Isles,
See the bright cherub Of the spring
Advance with radiant smiles:
And see stern winter, now in haste,
Call off his sleety train,
To seek his native northern waste,
Where, throned on ice, he reigns.
No more shall frozen letters bind
The treasures Of the year;
But natures glories uncon6n'd,
On every field appear.
Attendants on thy wished for flight,
The children Of the song,
Fair spring, in joyous bands, unite
To chant the hours along.
Thy breath, inspiring love and mirth,
Pervades all living souls;
Rides on each breeze that plays Ger earth,
On every wave that rolls.
Each tree and shrub. each plant and flower,
From thee their beauties bring;
Walked to existence by thy power,
Bright cherub Of the spring.
