The last number Of the Democrat contains
a low and abusive. article. intended for. us
whichis better commentary on the pusiIan-
unity Of theviIe and degraded author, than an
the newspaper paragraphs we could possibly
write.
To it, therefore, we recommend all whoare
fond ofthe biltingsgate, and " still more con-
temptible beauties Of the ball roller who pre-
sides as the editor-of that print, as presenting
every thing that is calculated to gratify the
filthy cravings Off vicious and corrupt TASTE.
The editor ofihe Democrat bounced about
last week, like a parched pea, or a worm on
hotshOvel. Small insects generally hop, es-
pecialy when scorched little.

Tor not publishing more Marriages. ..WeIl,
now, said we, this is pretty question to ask a
PRIMER. We publish all that occur within our
knowledge and we have heard of some being
published that never took place. For ou
lpait, we would gladly devote whole column
to Hymen every week, if the bells and beaus
would devote as much to Cupid. But we be-
lieve, for the present at least, that the downy
god has forsaken our city, and that Hymen'f

borders. A full year has rolled around since
the Alter was honored with sacrifice; and
from present indications, another viii intervene
before an offering will again be made. The
spirit which once possessed our young friend:
has entirely vanished and either sex appears
to have sworn to eternal celibacy.
The old men and women are both sombre

The corporation of the city Of Mobile APP
pears to be overwhelmed with large debt
which is likely foreman on hand for some
time, or not paid at all. A late number of the
Advertiser and Chronicle. says; in speaking Of
this matter-"There are but two suggestions
that present themselves to our mind: The
first is, to declare the city Bankrupt, and make
an assignment Of all property whatsoever, for
the benefit Of creditors, begin the world anew,
Or G that be thought unadvisable, apply to
oar State Legislature for relief" *
The former Of these suggestions would be a
vry easy arrangement to make; but the latter
may be considered as quite impracticable. II
we mistake not, there is very little sympathy
hIt by the Legislature Of Alabama, for Mobile
any way and much less, when called upon to
pay her debts. Was the State deprived Of
Mobile however, the loss would soon be felt,
and proper estimate placed on the value Of

TO THE PUBLIC.

TO THE PUBLIC.
HAVING been desirous of securing the
II Public against losses by the Real Estate
Bank of this place, the undersigned with the
other Directory ofthat Bank had..an investiga-
ton made as to the necessary amount from
each Of the Stockholders, that would be requi-
red to relieve the Bank from Its present en-
barrassments, and upon full and fair investi-
cation, it was ascertained, and finally Resolved
by the Board Of Directors, and the most ofthe
Stockholders being present, "That it the
Stockholders of said Bank would pay Inte the
Bank the amount of their individual indebted
ness, and forty per cent. upon their Stock, it
would relieve the Bank and that any Stockhold-
er doing so, should be relieved and released
from all further liabilities for, and on account
of said Bank"
We have therefore, to inform the communi-
ty, that we have paid in our individual indebt-
edness to said bank and forty per cent. upon
our Stock, and the Bank has released us from
all our liabilities for said bank. Having there
fore acted in good faith towards the public, we
hope the community viii not hold us any fur
Their responsible for the debts of said Bank, I'M
til they have lost all hopes of collecting them
from those that are properly liable.
