The Huntsville (Ala.) Democrat, . staunch
Southern Rights paper, has the name Of II. w
COLLIER for governor at his head.
II also accompanies his nomination with the
following remarks:

before last Satisfied, therefore, that he Is no
tame submssionist," but that he persists IN de-
nouucing the compounds fraud MS unjust and
oppressive, and is prepared 10 re lot, by State
legislation, aud every other practicable, con ,ttu-
donaI means, the aggressive policy Ut the gen
eral government, in order to restore our equality
and preserve our independence, we nail his
name 10 our mast head, no our candidate fer
governor. With candidate, whose moral char
acter is not only pure but above suspicion
whose mental ability is acknowledged; whose
political integrity il unimpeachable; whose
reverence for the Constitution, and srch con-
uitafion0l Union AZ our fathers handed down 10
US, il undoubted who is for etfectual resistance
TO Northern aggressions, aud maintains the
right of secession AS last resort; who Is a De-
mocratic Republican OF the school OF Jefferson
and Msdson--with such candidate, We say, We
have no fear Of entering the canvass, no MAJ ter
whom the Clay, Webster, Fillmore g. Co.,
Federal submission candidate may be. Let him
be renegade Democrat, thirsting for federal
honors and ready to barter his principles q for
place, or a ful-blooded Federalist dipped in
Union" whitewash for disguise, We believe
Gov Collier will distance him.
Tie only thing that can possibly prevent his
triumphant ret lection will be a division Of the
Southern rights party by running more than one
candidate. We observe that Col. Yancey has
been nominated by the Southern Rights Asso-
citation Of Dallas, and Col. Terry by the South
ern Rights Association Of Barbour. We arc
confident Col. Terry will not permit his name to
be used, to divide the party and defeat Gov. Col.
her; and We hope that Col. Yancey will be con-
tent with beating the submission war horse Of
RUSSELL The humbug cry Of Union will hard
ly, We think, enable the submissonsts to toll
enough Democrats into the federal camp, to ena
bic them to make respectable showing on The
first Monday in August. We call upon all true
State rights men, Democrats and Wings, frend'
of the Constitution and constitutional Union, t.
reilly for Henry ". Collier,and Southern equality
and independence, and save the State from III,
curse Of federal rule, and the disgrace of uncon
ditional submission to federal encroachments."

A deep and mighty shadow
Across my heart is thrown,
Like a cloud on a summer meadow,
Where the thunder wind hath blown
The wild rose Fancy dieth,
And the sweet bird Memory fieth,
And Ieaveth me alone.
Alone with my hopeless sorrow;
No other maze know

But the dull words will not flow
l pray, but my prayers are driven
Aside by the angry Heaven,
And weigh me down with wo
