ALABAMA.

An intelligent correspondent Of the New York Ex-
press, writing from Mobile, under date of Sept 9Th,
says:
In November next the Wings Of Alabama a por-
ton of which have been for years struggling against
an overwhelming majority will make such effort as
becomes them and the principles they advocate, now
that they success within their reach Mr. Van
Burens majority Judge White in 1886 was about
1900 In that election the nuers all voted with the
Wings for the latter gentleman, and they numbered
at least 900; of this number at least 600 followed
Mr.. Calhoun when he took his last somerset, making
the actual Van Buren, majority IL months ago about
10000.
The popular vote our last election cannot be cor
rectly ascertained, as, in many of the counties IN
North Alabama, where decided Loco Feco majorihes
We're known to exist, Wing ticket was run, al
though in November they will show respectable mno-
rites The vote in several counties was not within
several hundred Of their full strength
From estimate made Ivy those who possess the
most accurate means of knowing, the Loco Foco ma
jority cannot be 5000 and if changes 90 on
the next two months they have done for the last six
shall easily brush away that. In this county alone
we number over 100 that have deserted Mr. Van Blu
rem and repudiated his measures, You may set down

MIR. l.. closed his remarks by adverting to the
subject of abolition, and expressed his astonish-
ment that appeals upon this subject should be
made TO the people Of the slaveholding States'

humiliating and degrading that they, the sons 2,

Burke, that from the peculiar structure OF theif
society. their perception of the principles and
blessings of freedom were more acute and IN
tense. and their chyalrous determination 70
maintain il, under all circumstances, was neces-
sarily more lofty and unbending than any other
people upon the face of the globe, should now
be told BY the political hucksters OF the day. that
they must look to the Executive veto for the pro-
lection of their rights, growing out OF slavery
rather than to their own right arms and ample
means! am amazed, said Mr.. L., that any son
of this section of tie Union, OF the ever gallant
and chivalrous South, can utter such servlle
sentiment without blistering his degraded lips
What we, the descendants Of Revolutionary
sres-we, whose impress is so strongly stamped
upon the Constitution of our country-whose
influence has ever been SO strongly felt IN all
governmental action under that Constitution,
and who have been known every where as

them, are now to be told that we must look to

crumbling party-ln short, to Martin Van Buren,,
for the protection of our rights and property, II
not for existence itself! Monstrous The South
hold their rights by another tenure than the Pre-
sident's veto, and will herself defend them by
other and far surer means. She rests upon her
self-the invincbty of her sons, for that which
Federal President can neither give nor take
away. Away, then, with this vaunted but hol-
low and serf-like humbug of the veto Rely on
your own arms for safety, and mstrust all who
would delude you into the belief that protection,
if il ever be wanted, can be derived from any
other source Richmond Hhig.

MR.. LEGARE AT THE LOG CABIN.

We present sketch of Mr. Legare's ideas on
a single point or two-of his ideas. But who
shall succeed in conveying TO the reader any con
ception of his manner, or of the sensation which
his parallel between Lord Durham and Poinsetr
enforced by that inimitable manner, produced on
his audlence2
Mr. L. then alluded 10 the army bill, as it was
called, disavowing, however, all intention of
examining the plan Of the Secretary of War
He should notice briefly the cpisle of the Presi-
dent upon the subject 10 the Virgnans, for the
purpose OF calling attention 10 the extraordinary
character of that document. Mr.. Van Buren,
descending from the dignity Of his station, re-
sorts, IN that paper. 10 low vtuperation dema
goglsm and slang, in a manner that could not
fail to make Americans blush for the degrada-
ton. In expressing his opinion upon the con
stitutionality Of the proposed measure, he saws
that If this, if that, aud the other, be thus and
So why, then, he thought, on the whole il pfphf
not be altogether IN precise accordance with the
provisions of that instrument "A sort OF Jesuit

In illustration Of the paltering conduct of the
Executive in this matter Mr.. l.. called the es-
pecal attention of his audience 10 the conduct
OF another Governmental monarchy, too-on
subject OF strong analogy. About three years
since, it would be recollected that Earl Durham

public sentiment prevails that this restriction has by

to the conclusion TO suspend for the present adopting
the measures indicated by the said orders for the en-
