PRIDE or OPINION. = In government like
ours, dependant upon human reason, how few
reflect upon the extent of evil that may be in
hicted upon1 eir fellow citizens through
sspride of opinion.r As our prosperity de-
ponds upon the correct administration of oul
laws, and pursuing the policy that ensures the
happiness of the greatest number, SO much
greater is the necessity that we should in the
selection of our agents and determining upon
our policy, consult orr judgments alone, unin.
fluenced BY any extraneous cause. We hold
it to be the duty of every man who loves his
country better than self, to abandon any man
forsake any policy the moment he discovers
they are working counter to the interests of his
country. We have heard numbers cast then
tests upon men whose views upon the cardinal
principles of our Government and its policy.
have changed, and who esteemed If their duty
to their country TO act upon, and openly avow
such change. The fear of the ieers and laugh
ter of their fellow men, no doubt, has deferred
many from abandoning principle when fully
convinced of their error. Such should not be
the case. Al men should be above the 'sn,iles'
of those who wond deride their fellow men
for forsaking what they honestly thought was a
wrong principle, and advoc ating the right, tho
the two were the antipodes of each other
The blush of shame would never mantle our
cheek in avowing change of policy or princi-
pie, and would look upon the man with
scorn who would attempt TO treat with ridi-
cule for doing that which our country demand
ed of US.
There is no cause for shame-there is MOTH
ing wrong in forsaking men and measures
when satisfied that both are wrong. Would
the farmer be ashamed to acknowledge that he
had abandoned the new policy which he had
adopted of cultivate is lands, that nearly re-
suited in his ruin! Does the merchant feel
shame when he says, l have abandoned the
policy of selling credit, because it has or
will ruin mel No! Yet there is no differ
ence between the farmer, merchant and poll
tician. Then why should man, a republican,,
freeman, hesitate 10 abandon policy that is
not only ruinous to him, but is infllcting upon
his country whitening blight that years cannot
heal. Is it not the duty of every one as pat
riot. to be governed by principle, and principle
alone in the selection of their agents. Is it
not their duty to support that policy they be-
lieve to be right. Then away with ''pride of
opinions and treat with scorn the man who
would sneer at you for having changed your
views of any principle or on any subject.

%Uo ALL HAIL! ALABAM Al!


The General Election throughout this State
took place OIL Monday last. So faI as heard
from, the Democrats have carried every thing be.
fore them, and the opinion prevails that no
Wing has been elected to the Legislature this side
of Tuscaloosa. In Franklin, Lauderdale and
Lawrence, where the Wings boasted of their
superior strength, they have be6n badly, if not
shamefully heated; indeed the Democratic MAJOR
tiles are overwhelming in every direction. In
Madison, Jackson, and Marshall, the Wings pre-
sented no icket; and out of 5000, supposed to be
about the aggregate vote of these three counties,
they will not be able to carry more than 400 votes
for Harrison. This is the first time for many
years that the Democracy of North Alabama has
been aroused--and Even now they would have
remained in comparative lethargy, but for thu re-
cent exertions of the Hard Cider, Log Cabin, and
Coon missionaries and orators who have traversed
the country and labored necessarily to prove
that the imbecile Federal Wing candidate
for the Presidency should be perferred to the em-
inent statesman who now presdes at the head of
this Government. The people have now tpo-
ken, and so far at least as North Alabama Is con-
cerned, modern Whiggory may be considered as
PROSTATE, and we hope the leaders Of thai odious
faction will no longer insult the Democracy, with
further attempts 10 deceive or impose on their un-
derstandings. The day ofthe election was one
ofcontinued showers in this division Of the State,
which prevented a general attendance at the
polls.
The Wings have elected their candidate in the
city and county of Mobile, by diminished MAORI
ties.
