TO THE WINGS.

we take time by the forelock, TO caution
the Whigs against pledging themselves
hereafter 10 the support Of any mar who
may offer as a candidate for any Office
Whatever, until they know who are in the
field; and especially against pledges TO in
dividuals who are not members Of the
Whig party. For, in either case the prac
VIce is bad one, and we have known ma.
ny, sorry for il nferwacds-when il has
been too late. This is the more necessary,
because the wings are moi as well drilled
as their opponents, who have only to issue
command and il is instantly obeyed for
their organization is compleie-from Maine
20 Louisiana and it is only requisite to
say do this" and il is done.
These remarks are intended 10 apply to
every Office in the State and County, from
the highest to the lowest. And il is to I,e
hoped that no wing will be thrown off o.
his guard in this matter; but will bear tho
same in mind, and most relgiously adher,
to the injunction.
Il is furthermore hoped that there will
never again be more than one candidate
for any one ofice-who shall be chosen
by a Convention to be held for the pur
pOse--from the number Of candidates who
may previously offer their claims-with
out which, as parties now tally, i will be
almost impossible TO succeed. And We
shall regard any man Us an enemy TO the
wing cause hereafter who will not adhere
TO these maxims.

FEMALE INFLUENCE.

However dubious may be theopinions of
some, in relation to the article which
heads our column, there can be no doubt
on the minds ofthe truly wise, ofthe effect
it has upon the world at large, whether
exercised for good or evil. Woman,
though inferior in point ofphysical strength
to the. other sex, is endowed with faculties,
in other respects, commensurate with the
greatest power of lordly man; and, when
opposed TO him in the proud march of a
sinful or ambitious career, has often pro-
we'd superior to his own self wiII-or
when exercised to excite him 10 deeds of
patriotism and virtue, has as frequently
crowned him with honor and applause.
In every age ofthe world, may be found
evidence ofthis fact. Turn to the garden
of Eden, where, the feet Of our first par
en.s were divinely planted-even by Him
who said "Let there be light and there
was light, and there yOu will see. in the
immediate presence Of their Creator-with

We insert in our paper ofto-day. a COM
munication on city affairs; and we would
be pleased TO see, in case the city fund is
sufficient, which we somewhat doubt, some
ofthe recommendations therein contained,
carried out by our present Board ofPolice-
men. We had prepared an article on the
subject of public safety from fire ourself;
which we should like to have read and
considered by the Board Of Police, as well
as the citizens in general. 1t is always
much easier to guard against an evil than
to arrest it, when it once breaks out; and
sad experience has taught as that fire j.
captain in any crowd.

FIRE.--As the winter season is ap-
preaching, when this element as usual
will be much in use, il behooves every
person 10 be very watchful over their'pr
misses. The fate Of Mobile, and many
other places that have been consumed of
late, teach severe lesson; and should
fire break out here, ten chances to one
that we are entirely burnt up. And that
such will be the case sooner or later we
very much fear. For, we have no pro-
lection, the buildings are generally of wood
and there is much combustible matter in
our midst, which if once ignited-all must
go. To guard against an event of the
kind, we would suggest the importance oil
providing every store, office.and the like
with good substantial fire fender, and
the paying District attention 10 the use Of
kitchens, as the servants entrusted with
them are sometimes very careless. The
several livery stable owners, also, as vel
as the proprietors of hotels, cannot be tor
cautious. Fires frequently originate il
these establishments that do immense mis-
chief. And we would also include tn
owners of blacksmiths and carpenter
shops, bakeries, &c.
, There are also many who have stoves
TO warm rooms, very carelesssly set up
the pipes of which come almost in contac
with the wood, and make no projection
beyond the ceiling. There is nothing
more dangerous than the like.
In fine, would it not be we'll for tn
v Board of Selectmen to organize sir
: Department" and prescribe the mode @
e regulating these things, so far as practic
able? 1t might prevent much mischief
e and they certainly have the power.

Montgomery, A1a.-A meeting of the
citizens of this place has lately been held
10 take into consideration a Resolution
passed by the President and Directors of
the Branch of the State Bank to bring suit
on all paper belonging to that institution,
amounting to 100000. 1t appears that
theBank has only acirculation of 5000, 900
and has six hundred thousand due her-all
of which had been placed in the hands of
the Attorney for colIection-which, ac-
cording to The laws Of that State, is by
very summary process and, under exis-.
ting circumstances must ruin the citizens,
as, in consequence of the low stage Of the
river they could not now avail themselves
of the present cotton crop.
The meeting was large, respectable,
and adopted strong Resolutions against this
rigid, and in their estimation, unnecessary
policy on the part Of the Bank. The State
Journal is also out in very strong terms
against the same, and thinks that the State
should either furnish a currency or sell oul
TO Joint Stock Companies.

following results for Monroe County.
Besides the above, the democrats have
elected their county officers down TO

sure enough, it is this; and the writer
deserves to be pa raded around the county
line on a rail for the same. The writer
says. besides the above the democrats have
elected their county officers down to
ranger where they had candidates. Now
what the ID use have they for county
officers; when court has not been held
in the county for more than twelve months
because the rascally sheriff, OF two &C.

But the same writer goes on TO say
that the Wings are little sullen" &c
And how, we would ask, could they ap
pear otherwise, when they saw no pros

hole or corner in our country that he has
not visited, and although not very CON-

timesship has been an intimate acquain-
lance of ours for several years; and al.
though not the most agreeable Of our CON-
panions, is nevertheless not so disagreed
bic as many are wont to describe him. His
friendship is both peculiar and remarkable,
and mole general than that of any other
character. He has great partiality in his
composition, and treats all as they like
either good, bad. or Indifferent. On some
occasions he is known to be very generous,
and on others, short, Grabbed, low and

TO what is civilization and Christian

whatever she may undertake, no wonder
THAT her influence is great indeed.-She
views with delight whatever is her duty to

but appreciate her sex, and yield submis-

reverence and esteem the standard they
