Dull Times in New York.

The New York correspondent of tho Philadel-
phia Ledger writes:
"The dry goods dealers, who woro cheerful
faces about the first of the month, say February
is advancing without bringing with itany increase
of business, while tho advices from tho interior
continue diseoursgipg. Statesmen wander about
tho narerooms with nothing to 20. The leather
an hide, tho drug, and medicine, and the hard
ware men, all join n pretty much the same chorus.
There arc good many Western men arriving,
but thoy are hero as lockers ON, as yet, and net
as purchasers. Ths inclination is to hold back in
expectation Of lower prices soon for almost evory-
thing.

Amidst the excitement consequent upon our polit.

In the selection Of suitable candidate FOR Cover

eial and political. press heavily upon us as peo-

the welfare, dignity and honor CT our beloved
State The hon0red names Of many distinguished
citizens have already been presented for the faro-
rable consideration Of our people, either OF whom
would we'll and wisely guide the helm of State,
oven in these times Of trouble. Yet, without
making inyidous distinctions among Alabnma's
gifted and honorod sons nho may aspire to this
high position, it i, believed that ono distinguished
name is bre-eminsntly entitled to be placed con-,
spicuously before tho public in connection with
the Office Of Chief E1ecutirs-the name of tho
Hon. J. r. Tompkin, Of Mobile-a gentleman of
high htorary and legsl sttainments, of command
inG and cultivated talents, and Of diitingui,hed
executive ability, whose social and moral worth,
shining qualities and rising fame are only equaed
by his retiring mod.sty, polite urbanity and manly
magnanimlty. Once citizen of Sumter county,

Always Love.

Because Loves sign is but sign,
Doth it less Loves heart disclose!
Because the rose must fade and die,
Is it the less lovely rose?
Because the night must shroud the day,
Shall the brave sun no more be gay!
Because chill autumn rights the birds,
Shall we distrust that spring will come
Because sweet words are only words,
Shall Love forever more be dumb!
Because our bliss is feeting bliss,
Shall we who love forbear the kiss?
Because those eyes of gentle mirth
Must sometimes cause my heart to thrill
Because the sweetest voice on earth
Sooner or later must be still;
Because it's idol is insure,
Shall my strong love the less endure2
All, no let lovers breathe their signs;
And roses bloom and music sound,
And passion burn on lips and eyes.
And pleasures merry world go round;
Let golden sunshine food the sky,
And let me love or let me die!
