MONTGOMERY, June 3, 1851
Politic, IN Alabama The Cotton Crop, &c.
There is an animated and virulent party contest
xoing on here just now between what are termed
the Union States-right party, and the Disunion
Secession party. / think the Union States-right
party have il, and will triumph, by large MAORI
~, in the coming elections of the State. The peo-
pie Of Alabama are not prepared for secession or
&sunion, as yet. They stand, generally, upon the
Georgia platform; and let me tell you that Georgia
ia the Empire State of the South and as she goes,
70 will all the holding States south of the
Potomac The people here, or at least majority
OF them, are willing to abide by and live up to the
principles and provisions of the Compromise bills
as they passed in the last session Of Congress
but 20 this extent, no more Any attempt to
disturb those acts, or TO repeal the Fugitive Slave
law, will certainly be attended with disastrous con-
sequence. 1t will light the torch of civil discord
and inevitably lead to the disruption of the Union,
which hope, through the mercy of that God who
Ills the immensely OF space, and guides revolving
Mr. H. w. billiard. whose fame is identified
with he national legislation of the country will
soon commence canyassing this district, more for
the pun pose, presume, of advancing or promoting
the interest Of his old and valued friend Mr. James
Abercrombe, the present Union candidate for Con-
gress from this district, than for any advantage
that mig ., inure to himself. Mr.. III. is now asso-
eated WIN MIR. Jack Thorington, of this place
in the Z actice of law. From what | have
heard and read of the Sc fire-eatng' nominee for
Congress, OF this district, | should be losh to
come IN contact with his breath, as it might prove
"a consuming; ire. | think, however the = fire
eaters, a. they are termed here, feel quite uneasy
and are dlsro sed TO blink the question of i'm mediate
secession and get on to small corner of the
Georgia pia form" Both parties are looking
forward 10 ttc conduct and action of south Caro-,
lima, a: this oment, with feelings of intense nte-
rest, and fearful imaglnatiOns-nOt upon constitu-
uonal grounds or the compromise acts but affinity
and fraternity. ! do not apprehend any danger
from that quarter myself, as | have no idea that
South Carolina will secede. IL she should the
State would soon become a waste, bowling wilder
ness" Sic Is. already, nearly ruined by her multi
flying insanity. do not think she ever has enjoyed
or received much sympathy from her sister States;
disunion-to-morrow, / persuaded there would
be found within her own borders heavy prepon-
deranee in favor Of the Union. But enough upon
the subject ofpolitcs for the present.
Mohtgomery, at this time, is one of the most
foutishIrg cities in the southern country. she is
fertile m resources, and they just being in
rapid process of Development. Mr.. c. c. Orde-
man, principal architect and civil engineer of the
place, and man of merit, informs Inc that he has
as much or more than he attend to in his line
However, will not attempt to discuss or sketch the
men and things of Montgomery in this hurried dis
patch.
The prospects of an abundant yield of everything
in the agricultural way in this section, never were
more hattering and, if no disaster should occur be-
tween this and . gathering time" such a crop OF
cotton the world never saw. You may set down
the yield for the next year at at least three millions
Price, sc. per pound.
As have not selected any signature over which
TO write, you may deal with me in accordance with
your own good judgment In the language of our
late lamented hero and civil administrator Gene
raj Taylor, " ask no favors, and shrink from no
