TROUBLED SOULS.

in consequence of the nomination Of Gen.
eral Taylor for the Presidency, by the
wings
Our immediate neighbor and cotempora.
ry, few weeks since, was very much
troubled, for fear the wings should get
themselves into trouble. He feared they
were deceived as to General Taylor's poll
tics, and impored them to remember Ty-
Ter; and, we believe, it was him who also
expressed his doubts as to the propriety of
the move, in advance of General It's
known wishes on the subject as it might
have tendency TO embarrass him in his
operations in Mexicol We have no reason
TO doubt the sincerity of the motives Of
our neighbor, and hence the conclusion is,
that he desired The success of the whigs;-
but others, more uneharilable than our
selves, put different construction on his
efforts, and think he is really fearful the
wings, under the banner of him "who me-
yer surrenders," will effectually route his
party, and hence his bold game to mislead
them!
saint Hampton" of the Metropolitan
became almost indignant and was deeply
panied, that his old friends and neighbors
in this county. should have made such fools
of themselves, as to recommend man for
the Presidency, of whom and whose princi-
pies they were profoundly ignorant. He
too, was fearful the wings would get them
selves into trouble, and raised his voice of
warning-whch, alas for the good it might
have effected, had been heard little too
often in these parts to be needed!
Thus it is in different parts of the coun-
try. Some Of them are almost ready to
pledge themselves for Clay or Webster, if
the wings will only drop Taylor. Others
try different mode, and proclaim old
Zach a democrat of the first water! In
Tennessee, for instance, they charge the
wings with trying to deceive the people. by
saying Taylor is wing. The leading 10.
cofoco paper in Nashville, claims him as a
democrat, and says if he is ever elected
President it will be by democrats-which
we think is quite probable, as many who
have heretofore acted with that party are
:. sick of Pokism, and will no doubt be for
old Rough and Ready in the next canvass
S with rush
Poor troubled souls! we hope they will
5 soon become reconcled to their fate, and
look after their own affairs. The wings
are getting along well. as the late elections
show, notwithstanding their fears and
cautiona.
ODD FELLows.-We had the pleasure
of meeting with the members of this fra.
terni,y at Huntsville, last Saturday.
The brethren proceeded in procession
from their Lodge room to the Church,
:. where an Grafton on the objects and aims
of Odd Fellowship was pronounced, by
the Rev'd F. A. SAVAGE, of Glasgow, to a
very large and attentive audience. The
subject was ably handled by the orator
and from the interest manifested, we doub,
not will be of great benefit to the Order.
After the exercises were over, the mem.
bers par,ook of collation. at VIM. M.
WITHER's Hotel, which was prepared with
great taste and profusion.
Col. BENToN-We understand some Of
his friends, on his arrival at Jefferson City
6 really entertained serious doubts as to
whether Col. Benton was sane or not!-
We mean just what we say-as we under
- stand his actions, upon his entrance into the
r city, were such as to excite such apprehen

but all who saw him.
n Actions are said to speak louder thar
r WORDS: his speech, however, is satisfactory
to US.
