The LEGIsLArURE.-We publish, in another
column, the proceedings of the legislature on
the two first days of the session. We announce
with no ordinary pleasure, that G. w. s. PAR
TON, substantial and unwavering Democrat,
from the county of Lauderdale, was elected
speaker of the House, by majority of six votes
over DR.. T. J. Catchings, Wing member from
this county-General Patton having received
the votes of the Union and State Rights Demo-
Gratis. 1t is understood that Dr. Caichngs was
the nominee of caucus comprised almost ex
cluslveiy OF Wings, there having been but few
Union Democrats in attendance. General Pat
ton is former distinguished member of the
Alabama Legislature, and assumes the duties Of
his position, commended US an experienced L.
gislator. The House will not regret the selec
ton it has made. Mr.. F. L. Swami also a
Union Democrat was elected clerk, by n laroe
minority, on the first ballot
The present legislature have high and i'm.
portant duties to discharge; and we trust and
believe that the members have entered upor
them with'an eye single to the welfare and hap
piness the people of the State.

Coalitions In Ohio and Massachusetts,.

Some very interesting and instructive revela-
tons as to the real position of parties in their
respective localities, are made in the course of
debate in the House. The mutual ordinations
and recrimnations of many of these, furnish the
best possible information rs to the controlling
power exercised by the Freesoilers over the two
old organizations. The two most striking in
stances of this, have been the sparrng. matches
between the Ohio members and those from Mas.
sachusetts, respectively. In both cases, the
policy of the opposite parties, and their mutual
completely with the Abotionists, have been
most clearly exposed. We give to-day the Ohio
revelations, and shall follow them up with the
yet more racy ones relating to coalitions in Mas
sachusetts
The Freesoiers who contrive to hold the
balance OF power by bargaining with both par
ties, and skilfuly playing them off against each
other, can well afford to allow this Kilkenny cat
fight to proceed.

| Speaking of the recent Democratic meetings
at Jackson, the New Orleans Picayane says:
Two Democratic meetings were held at Jack
son, on the 9Th instant, one of them the usual
State convention, but they gave very little sign
of harmonzing, among the leaders at least. Ia
the States Rights" convention, although they
gave the go by to the question of secession, they
treated the Union Democrats of the other body
with great acrimony Jefferson Davis was very
severe upon Gov Foote and rung the allltera
tive changes upon Foote, Fillmore, Freesol
and fraud !" "A confederation which seems TO have
aroused the fury of Gov Foote, who, IN The
Union convention returned these eplthet5 upon
the secessionisLs with double Foote power OF
denunciaion. His speech was most remarkable
however, for the open defiance with winch ne
declared his purpose to meet the threatened
course of the senate, in regard to The vacancies
in The United States Senate. 1t rumored that
the majority in the State senate will refuse to go
into the elections, attempting thus to put them
over to another legislature, two years hence In
abiding to this plan, Gov Foote proclaimed in
convention that he was ready fer the war. II
the Legislature should adjourn without eiectlng
senators, he announced that he would exercise
his constituent power, and appoint two Union
senators to the vacant places, and II thcy should
| not elect a senator for the long term, commenc-
ing 1853, he would call an extra session OF the
legislature, in February, 1853, for that express
purpose and if they then refused, he would
take issue with them, and 60 before the people
on that point.
al have said it" said he, " and will not take
back a single word. As true as there is God
in heaven, il living, will stand to what have
uttered"
| This is fair notice of a desperate struggle
between obstinate politicians.
sW Speaking of the delegates to the Baltl-
more convention, the New York Evening Post
says
The Hon. H. e. Murphy, of Brooklyn, has
been elected delegate from the I'd district to
the Baltimore convention. The Brooklyn Ea.
gle intimates that Mr.. Murphy's first choice will
be for Marcy If so, it makes twenty-one votes
certain from this State for the ex-Secretary of
War; assuming that the two delegates at large
are favorable to his election, which is almost
matter of course.
Two delegates are yet to be elected to COM
pete our representation, one for the 4th district,
to be chosen on Friday next, and another in the
10Th district, Otsego and Delaware, who will
probably be friends of Governor Marcy.

The Cotton Plant.

The first number of this new monthly journal
was issued in this city on Saturday last. 1t is
published by C. G. BAYLOR, esq, at So per year
The objects of this journal are ayowed to be
to promote the industrial and commercial well
fare of the South, and through this means to
achieve the social and business independence of
the Southern States. This it is prepared to do
without political controversy or partisanship, and
without the exhibition of any feeling of hostility
toward other sections of the Union.
In Mr.. Baylor's views on this subject we fully
concur. The climate, the soil, all the physical
characteristics of the South, as well as her peo-
pie, are endeared to US by every tie of affection
and admiration and our every wish for her well
fare has been based upon the hope that her ulti-
mate and triumphant warfare with the North
would be in the amicable contest for pre-emi-
nence in the arts of peace-in the physical moral,
and intellectual elevation Of the millions.
The project of Mr.. Baylor must lead directly
to this effect May he be successful in it. May
the cotton gin and the cotton jenny be brought
into close vicinage and may every harbor of the
sunny South be whitened by the sail of COM
merce and gladdened by the voice of many q

AFFAIR. In Georgetown.

GEoRGETowE, April 26--12 m.
We had the pleasure on last Saturday Of exam
lining the plan of Professor Solomon for WIRE
suspension bridge at some point near the Aque-
duct. This plan has been examined by number
of scientific as well as practical men, and meets
with the decided appreciation of all. We have
been informed that it will be submitted to the
two houses of Congress for their inspection, and
it is hoped that they in their wisdom will see the
great propriety of adopting it. We believe that
bridge at this point, upon Mr.. Salomon's plan,
would entirely supersede the necessity of recon
structing either of the old ones and be entirely
free from the many accidents by freshets that
have so frequently befallen them, and remove Sc
rious impeachment to our navigation, and the
cause of vast amount of damage to the prop
erty Of many of our citizens
We had the exquisite pleasure this morning of
helping the inner man to some fine ripe straw
berries, taken from the garden of Mr. William
Knowles, on Washington street; they were of the
monthly species, large size, and delicious flavor.
Mr.. Mathew Duffy, very useful citizen of our
town, and one of the most skilful architects in
the District died yesterday.
About 4, 900 pounds of roll butter, from wagons,
sold this morning at $50 per 100 pounds, and
900 dozen eggs at 173c. per dozen.
We have been informed this morning that the
late freshet has seriously damaged our channel
on this side Of the Long Bridge.
There is no change in the -four or grain markets
since our last report.

Contagious Diseases.

We are informed that on Saturday evening
colored man was found dead near the IRON bridge
in Georgetown. having died from the smallpox
and exposure. The poorfellow had crawled TO the
edge ofthe creek to quench his thirst, and SO died.
II is said that he had been fishing at some land
ing on the Potomac, where he had taken the dis
ease, and, being driven thence, made his way to
town. Coroner Woodward held an inquest over
the body, and the verdict was in accordance with
the facts here given
This is sad and pitiable case, but let it not
move our compassion without profit Provision
of the most ample kind should be made in this
District for the care of persons afflicted with in
fictitious diseases Mercy to them and to the
healthy alike call for this. Had the case of this
poor creature been known in Georgetown, he
would have been well taken care of, and provided
for with such facilities rs they possess, though IN
volving danger to the whole community. 1t is
hard case when the members of a household,
afflicted by the illness Of one of their number,
find themselves Stunned by all others; but to the
isolated wretch, without kindred or friends around
him, it is often terrible indeed.
Is there not some humane and enterprising
individual who would, if aided by the community,
establish refuge for all who are afflicted with
diseases Of this description? Such n person
would be entitled to the gratitude and respect of
all men; and his task would unquestionably be
rendered profitable to him ms well rs to the

Postm ter General Hall.

We have, for more than month past, heard
it rumored that this gentleman was about to re-
sign his present position; and few days since
this rumor found its way to the public through
a letter to Northern paper. But Mercury, of
the Baltimore Sun, who is undoubtedly well in
formed on this subject, says:
In regard to the rumored resignation of the
Postmaster General, am well advised that there
is no foundation for it. 1t is generally known in
the department that Judge Halls official arrange
ments for the future are such as to discredit en-
tirely the rumor referred to.
