We have rumor in town that the steamer
America has reached Halifax. In the absence of
authentic information on the subject, am inclined
to doubt it, the line is now open to Halifax and
the news would not be long in following the report,
true. The state of the cotton market causes her
arrival to be looked for with much interest.

The Wing party of Alabama has been for years
on the advance, while ours has been retrograding.
So long have the Democrats been in power in this
state, that they have not perceived the fearful i'm
roads of the opposite side. Although we came
losing the State twelve months ago in the
Presidential election, and last summer returned to
the Legislature meagre majority stillthere are
many prominent Democrats who assert that we arc
i'm no danger We know too much of the Wing
strength of Alabama TO console ourselves with such
n belief. The Democrats, in the State at large
have a majority; but a Legislature, nearly ono half
of which IL composed Of Wing members of influ-
cnce and wisdom, acting in solid body for the
SUCCESS of their candidates for the Senate presents
in our eyes serious obstacles 70 the election of two
United States Senators from ranks. For that
reason, we have urged, and do now earnestly re-
commend, that the many aspirants upon the Demo
cratic side (whose numbers are increased almost
every day) will act with prudence and forbear-
ance towards each other, and will make personal
sacrifices for the good of the party, should il be-
come necessary. We exhort them to turn their
eyes TO the Wings, who are quietly, cautiously, but
certainly and effectuay moving TO secure at least
one Senator. II our friends do not act with unan-
unity, but become divided and all start In n
pAL RACE, the ballotings will result in the success
of Wing candidates We hope that the "sober
second thought" will pave the way for reconcilia-
ton harmonious feeling and political sacrifices
which will result in Democratic triumph.-Monf-
