"THE GRoAEs or THE BRIToNs. ."-Om neigh bor is full of the most tender reproaches his poIit cal friends throughout the State. for not verifying his bold predictions of the of the ocos under the guns of the General Ticket system. He rebukes them for having failed in their DurY--is aghast at such lukewarmness in such CAUSE, and ayers that ''diierent spirit must prevail among the whigs of Alabama, if they expect to be successful" The Advertiser forgets, what appear to us to be TWO very self evident propositions. First, that te whig vote boiled throughout the Union on the Pre- sldential question will NEVER be boiled again. So many discordant and heterogeneous interests ne- yer be re-combined in favor of whiggsm, any other ism. Extraordinary circumstances in the times, mo- ney without stunt, fasehoods without end, and hum bug discretion, produced an extraordinary reyolu ton. The formation, the vote-the whole history of the hard-cider party ,was phenomenon-not event of national causaton-under the same circumstances, it could not happen again. How can it happen then, without those crcumstancesl
 The party that elected General Harrison, was party formed for the occasion-it was virtually dls solved on the d;W that his election made certain. True, they held together 10 rejoice over the victory o the aited forces-but the seeds of dissolution were there and began to germ from the day sf the inaugu- ration. Firs,of the myriads of selfish office seekers, one (the one who gets ofce) of thousand, will remain to support the administration,-a the 999 will be indifferent its fate or desert another par ty with their hungry bellies and active hands. Next, comes the split between the democratic and federal wings, bank whgs and anti-bank whgs, state rights wings and consolidation whigs, tariff, distribution, internal improvement whigs, and whigs who anti to all of these schemes. Oil and water will comminge more harmomousy, than the supporters of the | administration. The cabinet is an epltome of the parry. The political history of the President is at variance in almost every line with that of hIs most
 influential cabinet advisers.
 Inyiew then, of the apathy of the whigs of Ala bama, the Advertiser should remember these things. We think they plausbly and reasonably account for
 the difference which he aments. At the Presidential election every vote which the whigs could command, was put into the ballot box-they were beaten 5000 votes. How could they expect to do better now? The administration have since then disappointed the try, both in sins of omission and commission. They have not done what was promised, and have done what they promised not to do. What then, did the Advertiser rely upon to concentrate and rally into vigorous action, party which had been overwhelm- ed with defeat under the most favorable auspices, which it could ever expect beckon them yic- torops exertion! Upon nothing, we answer, except the supposed unpopulrity of the general ticket sys tenn. Certainly, broken reed to rest upon, seeing that the expectation was based upon the deserton, by whole party noted for their devotion to princ pe of the great and cardinal of popular liber- l ty and political equality, from a dislike a measure of expediency.
 For part we believe the whg power in the country, is broken. Nothing save it, but pro- figate administration of the government. vast Hamiltonian scheme of policy, involving national debt, funded system. paper money connected with the government, the distribution policy, holding out enormous bribes to the state legislatures, may secure the whig party power and reelection for second term. We mean, in other words, that the adninis- tration may corrupt the political leaders and thereby cheat the people, but that if far election is held upon the merits of the and principles of the whig party that they will be beaten as surely as the shines.
