General Taylor an AIobamd.-The signs in
the political h ORION of Alabama are unerring
indices that General Cass is becoming rather
too heavy to be sustained by the Jaihym even
among the democracy of the State. One by
one the leaders who aspire to direct the people
move to the front rank, and are forced by pub
lie sentiment or d" pirate AFFAIRS" to retire
from their position.
Colonel CottIell, an ex-member of Congress
from Mr.. Yancey's district, was appointed by
the democracy the Cass Elector for his district;
he accepted the appointment and entered upon
his duties stumping it through the country,
when suddenly his "prirate affairs" demand
ed his personal attention, and he is " compelled
to resign his office.
Another Elector, Col. Cochrane, of Mr.
IIilliard's district was invited by Mr.. Pugh
the Wing Elector, to accompany him through
Taylor together, but the Colonel very modestly
declined the invitation, and published his owl
appointments few days after Mr.. Pugh's.
| Those are some of the signs Of the times il
Alabama f, they forbodc desperate struggle
for the democracy of that State, and we are
by no means sure that they do not indicate Ger
tain defeat The people are being enlightened
I in reference to the principles ofGon. Cass, anc
according to the JackSonrW Republican, a Dem
ocratic Cass paper, they find his principles ar,
neither democratic nor SOuihern."
