title me to your gratitude and outrage
This was the plea of thecandidate, and
the votes responded to it cordially at the
polls The greatest test of merit, the
highest standard of qualification, is to
have lost leg or an arm, an eye or a
hand, in arms against the Government
The Provisional Governor, Mr.. Par
sons himself, panders to his knowledge
of this fact, and goes out of his wsy'in
his message to nggest 10 the Legislature
that especial care must be taken of the
battle flags oflfebAlsre gime nts left ia his
possession, which he calls " sacred SOU

Responding to this idea, tbs. Legisla-
ture gives the use of the hall of the
House to meetings of sundry gentlemen
who propose to form State historical
society, to preserve the records of the
deeds of the soldiers of Alabama, and to
raise fund to build monument to
those who died in the confederate SER
vice. Perhaps nobody would have se-
riously objected to all this, but after one
or two meetings the society appeared to
have tr ansformed itself into a regular
secession debating club, and any one
that listened Co the aepeakers could
scarcely believe that they had lived in
the land during the last twelve months. !
The House of Representatives is par
ticularly full of the secession element.
1t requires the most skillful manipula-
ton of Governor Parsons and the Con.
gressmen elect to keep the House with

elect the Hon. George s. Houston SEN
stor until they we're, over and over
again, assured that he could not take
the "iron- clad oath. Gov. Parsons, it
was well known, could not take it. No
man who can take it can be elected TO
any Office by the Alabama Legislature.

We have heard the following, which

he said truly. The people will share
in bis belief, at least if we are to judge
of intention by works. The fact is, a
large portion of the Legislature owe
their position to rebel influence and
rebel votes. 1t was expected soma re-
turn would be made for this by giving
some of the Offices to their expatriated
patrons But the places and the money
they wanted them selves, and only found
two inferior positions for those who had
put them in Office. That they may be

place, it will be seen that the State Gem
tral Committee have called a Union
State Convention on the I'D of Febru-
AIRY for the purpose of nominating can
didates for the State offices to be filed
at the next general election. The Off
cers to be chosen are Auditor, Treasure

Instruction. The day selected is most
fitting one, and the call win be heartily
confirmed by the Union men Of the
State. Immediate steps should now be
taken to secure thorough organization
and initiate the ensuing campaign.
