The Inaugural Address Of Governor
Runnclls, Of GTcyas, delivered on the 2lst
December, at Austin, is devoted largely
to the subject Of Federal relations. In
reviewing the progress of Abolition pro.
pagandism, Gov. Runnells does not hesi.
tate to face the contingency and duty Of
separation and independence whenever
the constitutional conditions Of Union
shall not be observed. He says;
"As member oil the con(cdefacy Of

est in maintaining the force Of the com.
pact which binds it together, so long as
the administration ofits conditions con.
tinuo to secure the obi jects for which the
compact was intended, but no longer" -
But in his opinion, the hope Of securing
the execution Of such condtions--tho
hope of much longer contixuance Of the
South in the Union, upon safe and hon.
orabIe terms, is constantly growing less;
for year by year. he says, the South is
becoming weaker, the, North growing
stronger. That equilibrium has been
destroyed which afforded the only sure
and permanent guarantee of protection

A Good Story.
The following good story is told Of an

The following good story is told Of an
Alabama sheriff:
Court was in session, and amid the
multiplicity of business which crowded
upon the sheriff at the time, he stopped
at the door of beautiful widow, on the
sunny side of thirty, who, by the way,
had often bestowed melting glances upon
the sheriff aforesaid. He was admitted,
and soon the widow appeared. The con.
fusion and delight which the visitors ar.
rival had occasioneJ, set off 10 greater
advantage than usual the captivating
charms of the widow. Her checks bore
the beautiful blended tinls Of the apple
blossom; her lips rescmblcd rosebuds upon
which the morning dew yet fingered her
eyes were like the quivers of Cupid, the
glances of love and tenderness which
wanted fine beau (pardon the pun) TO
do full execution. After few common
place remarks
I" Madam," said the matter.of(ac
sheriff, have an attachment for YOU"
A deeper blush than ever mantled the
cheeks of the fair widow, who, with
downcast eyes, whose glances We're cen.
tered upon her beautiful feet, half con.
ccalcd by the flowing drapery, gently
paIling the floor, she with equal candor
replied:
Sir, the attachment is reciprocal"
For some time the sheriff main,ained
an astonishcd silence; at last he said:
Madam, will you proceed'to court =
Proceed 10 court" replied the lady
with merry laugh; and then shaking
her beautiful head, she added: "N No, sir !
though it is leap year, will not take ad-
vantage Of the license therein granted 10
my sex, and therefore greatly prefer that
you proceed to court.
I" But, madam, the Justice is waiting"
"Lel him wait; am not disposed TO
hurry matters in such an unbecoming
manner; and besides, sir, when the Ger.
emony is performed, | wish you TO un.
derstand that prefer minister 10 jus.
tcc Of the peace"
Madam said he, rising from his
chair with solemn dignity" there is
great mistake here my language has
been misunderstood the attachment Of
which speak was issued from the office
Of Squire -, who commands me to
bring you instantly before him, 10 answer
for contempt Of court, in disobeying
