THE SENTIMENT OF ALABAMA.

Slowly but surely the sparks ofthc ol
fire are kinding up again throughout tn
whole Southern country, and as the polltI
clans seem fearful of burning their finger:
the Press is compelled to fan the fame
The arrogant and nsolent tone ofthe Mort
onthe Territorial question, which has rousr'
the righteous Indignation to which th'
milk and water Resolutions adopted b,
their Legislatures have given no fit utter
ance.
Our politicians arc behind the masses il
this matter, and the press alone embodic
the expression of popular sentiment, which
is fur opposition to insult and injury al all
and every hazard-for no compromise which
would betray craven readiness to accept
any settlement of a question involving right
honor, and interest. The Mobile Herald
and Tribune, thus boldly grapples with this
great question and its tone shows where
the men of Alabama stand. Speaking of
the alleged draft Of the Resolutions of the
Congress Committee, the Editor says:
III this be the substance of the ResoIu-
tons adopted by the Southern Convention,
we think there can be no difference Of opin-
inn as To the moderate spirit Of the meeting.
There is more compromise here than would
have been received or profered BY the South
two or three years ago. But, clvlIly tins
section oi the Union is AS helpless as chd
in the arms of its nurse. ltpublic opinion,
in eyes of the free States is either harmless
or contemplate. 1t has talked so long.
without action;t has bent itselfso completely
TO The making of Presidents or other party
purposes; 1t has so implicitly hung its hopes
upon fancicd security in a single man, VIII e
legislative power, (Which is tn" on! y thing
important in the ma,ter.) has been c"ncen-
trating in the hands of the enemy; it has
shown 50 abject reverence for union
without ius,ice.-that VIC have now hardy
ahope that any species Of wrong, except it bc
,me overt act which would rouse slave to
resistance, will work a union among US of
sufficient moral or legal force 10 check the
anti ti,slavery progress.
The civil influence Of the south is pasi.--
Encr"achmcnt on encroachment has ben
submitted tobyus soofien that there is hardly
any room to make stand upon. There Is
no chance now Of getting anything back.
II has all been compromised away, and if
We can peacefully save security for slave.
rs. in the States, we suspect it will he as
much as any man who has watched the past
will expect. For all the rest, we cannot
see what action is to be taken, except RE.
sIsTANcE.
Yet even white all this appears su onvi.
Gus, we find political papers amnng us
revenge for lack of patty tealty
against those wh,. in past election were
moved solely by their superior devotion to
the south. Men sincere in their attachment
10 this section one would suppose would he
eager to pardon such errors--would he
prompt to reconcile The difference which
were occasinned 10y such motives--would
lake such men 10y the hand 50 that the past
would be forgotten in the desire tor union
and preparation in the future.
The truth is, il is just this spirit OF party
revenge which is making the south 50 entire
" helpless; and VIC can see no way o pro-
noting mnanimiy of action until such party
presses be stripped Of their means of mlsdi-
rectng and via,ins the public opinion of
The South.

sDEArH OF A YouNG LADY, BY AccIDEN
rAL Po1sISryG.-A most melancholy occur
