NORTH ALABAMA.

From the Montgomery Advertiser, 9TH
In a late paper published in North Ala
hama. we observed a call for the "uncon-
ditional Union men" Of the 9th Congress
sioual District, 10 meet at Houston, Winston
county, on the 10Th Of the present month,
"to consider the present state Of affairs"
The "call" is signed by THos NJ. PETERS,
JONATHAN FoRD, and +. L. CRANIER.
We do not notice this movement because
we believe il is at all formidable in its char
acter, OF entitled 60 a respectful considera-
ton; on the contrary, il judged 10y its mer-
its it does not deserve notice at ALL This Is,
we believe, the second attempt that has
been made TO organize the nucleus Of So
called Union party in North Alabama, the
first having ended in miserable abortion,
rs viii. the present movement One Col
HUMPHREYS has tried the experiment of
organizing Union party, based on the
prescription of his neighbors, but that has
failed rs all such schemes in that portion of
the State must do. The consistent and re-
spectacle Union men Of every section Of the
South are bitter enemies to all such politi
cal movements, as that under considera-
ton. They regard, aud know, that the war
being at an end, all the questions especially
that of sccession-wcrc finally, and for all
result OF the contest 90 The South.
These soi disIut Union men, know as well
rs we do, that there is no necessity for the
organization Of such party as hey propose
la any part Of this or any other State in
the South, because there is no such an idea,
much less party, AZ that Of disunion; and
the individuals or men. who asSeverate il
are either hypOcritcs or liars Of the deepest
dive The miserable faction that has been
trying 20 thrust its crested head into the po-
lilical councils of this State TO disturb our
harmony and create discord, will yet meet
with the fate it deserves.
The real and true Union men of North
Alabama were well and ably represented in
the recent Convention at Selma. The dele
cations irons that portion of our common
State were composed Of the very best and
most patriotic men. The sentiments they
uttered, we believe expressed those Of their
section Of the State, and were suck as all
good men. oC all parts of the State, can con-
sistently endorse.
We repeat that there is no such an organ
izauon, not even the nucleus Of a disuniOn
uartv in any portion Of Alabama; nor do
We believe that the contemplate clique, un-
der the manipulation ofHUMPHREYs 4 Co,
will ever attain % the proportions and dig
nifty even Of faction, much less OF party.
That South, Middle, and North Alabama
are in perfect harmony, was evinced in the
cordial cooperation by delegates from an
parts OF the State at the Selma Convention,
in the general proceedings and resolutions
adopted, and in the confirmation OF dele
gates recommended by previous meetings in
the Northern counties and districts.
We have deemed il due 90 a valued por-
tioB Of Alabama, heretofore much repre-,
scented and misunderstood, 10 indite these
cursory remarks. There il no encourage
.ment offered 20 radicalism In North Ala
hama, or 90 secession in South Alabama
The people who are worthy to be relied on
throughout the S,ate-and t.Iey are ninety
nine hundreths-are inclined 90 keep thcii
honorable pledge 10 observe the results o.
the war
