H, The whigs of Talladega county held public meeting in that village on the 3rd inst, at whichthe following resolution, which can be considered a pretty good set. tier to the prospects of Gen. Taylor, was adopted unanimously: ua
 "Resolued, That we re-affirm our conf. dence in the long established and well approved usage of the whig party, in the mode of selecting candidates for the off. ces of the President and Vice President of the United States and that we are pre-. pared to stand by and support the nomi. nees of the whig National Convention whoever they may be, provided that they be men known, tried and approved by the whig party; that they be statesmen of experience, patriots of undoubted fidelity, whigs open and avowed, and willing to be considered the opponents of whig princi- ples that they be, as interpreters ofthe constitution, men of ability, and sound in their construction of all the compromises of that P hN ifa sifl

LOOK OUT.- A man was arrested in New Orleans on Tuesday evening, the 4th inst, and "brought up standing" before the Recorders Court, for making use of indecent language before his wife. The lady in question, not liking the tone of con. versation of her liege lord, had him ar. rested and placed in durance vile. The sslords" had better be on the lookout in these diggins, as the ''woman's law" is now in full blast; there is no telling how frequent the poor fellows may enquire for '.my hat"

E designations of County Judges are taking place in every section of the State. We doubted very much the pro- priety of the reduction of the fees of these officers, and from every appearance our prediction will be verified in the course of a year or so-that men of talent and those capacitated to discharge the duties of Judgeship would resign, and these impor- tant offices fall into the hands of set oi men wholly incompetent for the discharge of such duties. As the present law re- qures that" Judges and Clerks shall keep their offices at the court houses of their respective counties, and shall Keep them open for the transaction of business from nine o'clock in the morning until three o'clock in thc euening, Sundays er- cepted," no lawyer, who considers his time worth anything to him, will con sent to be Judge. This requisition prevents lawyers from practicing in any other coun- ty than that in which he may reside, and under the present system of fees his in- come would not be sufficient to bu his tobacco. f iH'U aaf

iLife.

Oh, what is life7 a dream within dream A pilgrimage from peril rarely free, A bark that sails upon changing sea, Now sunshine and now storm mountain
 stream
 Heard, but scarce seen ere to the dark
 deep gone; tl Ii A wild star blazing with unsteady beam, Yet for season lair 10 look upon. Life is an infant on Affection's knee, A youth now full of hope and transient
 glee,
 In manhood's peerles noon, how bright.
 anon A time-worn ruin silver'd o'er with years. Life is race where slippery steeps arise, Where dlscontent and sorrow are the
 prize, And when the goal is won the grave ap-
 pears. ..rH

H The fishing season has just con- menced at Wetumpka. Buffalo, Cat, and all other kinds of fish that are found in the waters of the Alabama, are caught in the greatest abundance.

TAKING IT BACK !-And old gentle man, on entering the parlor, one evening, where his daughter and her lover were at the time sitting together, observed her in the act of giving the latter token of her plighted affection; for which the farther reproved her, telling her that she must not do so again. The damsel replied, q am sorry to have incurred your displeasure. SO I'U take n back ;" which she did with a smack that rang in the old gentleman 8 ears for whole minute. "Well l" said he, "that'n do; you can set the day"-and left the parlor. fan5. l. os

H In all sections of the State of AL

u In all sections of the State of AL abama, we are pleased to see the Whig party placing themselves in the proper po- sition as to the approaching Presidential election. In Dallas county, the whig par. ty held meeting on Monday the Sd inst, at which the following was one of the re- solutions adopted by the meeting:
 Resolued, That the whigs of Dallas are in favor of the selection of firm, true and loyal Whig-of one, ,chose piescs, opinions and principles, are reu kaoscn to the country, to be the candidate of eur par ty in the approaching Presidential elec- tion."
 This is coming out like honest men, We care not what man the whigs place as their leader in 1S4S, as defeat will be the inevitable consequence any way, but we would like to have a fair and open contest, and not have to dangle with man who is fearful of exposing or letting his princi- ples be known by his fellow-citizens. We are confident the whig party will never again allow themselves Tylerized.

TENNEsEE.-The Memphis Enquirer of the 7th inst. says "A trial for breach of marriage promise and seduction is now before our Commercial and Criminal Court, which excites immense interest. The examination of witnesses commenced yesterday, attracting crowd of auditors such as has never assembled in our Court room. The parties are Mfr. R. c, Brink ley, wealthy property owner of this city, and Madame ,Rigualt, the handsome widow of a Frenchman who formcly kept little shop on Adams street, near where, the American Hotel now stands. and who af- forwards died in Natchez. The crowd in attendance was 50 great that when the Court adjourned last evening, it adjourned to meet in the basement story ofthe Meth- odist Church.
