ALABAMA. At a large and respedtable meeting of the Democracy of Russel County, Ala. on the 30th ult. resolutions were nuaninouslY adopted expressive of the seniments of 'the meeting as to the policy to be pursued 'y the South on the slavery question. from 'wich we extract the following :-MercurY. Resolved, That we vieia with pleasure - the conduct of those Southern Members of Congress who signed thb able Address to the whole American People. sotiing forth lor rights as Southern States, and owners of slaves. Resolved, That no sacrifice on our pait, bi6asistept with our honor, shall ever be Withheld to sustain our. Confederacy. and that we as Southerners are ready to meet the North on the platform of Compromise; 'but when this Union is to be sustained and receive our sanction upon the smouldering uins of our dearest righis aed interests, and we are called upon to recngnise the tIron heeled tyranny of the majority. that then we shall unhesitatingly withdraw Outselves from a compact that no longer tonsults to recognise our rights, our in. 1rest, or our destiny. Mtssisetpln.-A meeting of the citizens of Yazoo county, Mississippi. without dis tincilon of party, was field at Beuton on the 19th ultimo. for the purpose of res 'onding to the Southern Address. Col. J. ,B. White. (formerly of this State) pre ided, and delivered a very- able andl elo Iguent address, after which a series ofepiri ted resolutiont ivere adopted. from which ire extract the following --Ibid. Readled, That we fully tipproVe of the WnWinents and views expressed in the late sddress of the Southern members of Con gress to their Constituents, and -that the Representatives and Senators in Congress from Mississippi, it adopting the same, bave faithfully reflected the opinions, feel togs and wishes of their constituents upon t'he matter treated of in said address. . Reaolved. That we regard the Constita tion of the United States as a compact, to which the States are parties. that the dif ferent States have equal rights under the Constitution, and are equally entitled to its benefits; that although we should regard the disunion of the States, as Cne of the greatest evils that could befal the nation, we do not regard it as the greatest; re. pebted acts -of aggression and tyranny, hwbiral and flagrant disregard or the pro. visions of the Constitution by the majority, in intenticn and continued disturbance by the majority. and of those -sacred rightt wbieh rhe Constitution was intended to guat ad f rnty; -these would. tn out 6pinion, be evils greatir than a dissolutio 6f the Union, gteat a's that confessedly hon61d be. . Groa'ht.-A large sixd respe'etable portion of the citizens of Monroe County, 'w.'airrespective of party, assembled ai t on the 3J inst. to respond to tht ross of the Southern memhers of Con. gres. .We take thae following from the Miutons unanimously adopted by the ~ icury.

Sure for the abolition of slavery, or the idave 'trade, itn the $St-eb, an'd 'approval by the Presidenit W~ul'd be a palpable abuse of confidence which we re'pose in him, and it would be the right, as well as the duty, of the South, to take immediate steps for effectual resistance. Ta: VAtDE 0r LA!4D is FNEE AND SLavE STTs.--In our last Number we made some remarks upon Mr. Clay's as sertion that the lnnd holder of Kentucky would be remunerated for' tbhe ematncipa tion of his slaves in the increased valtue of his ladds, in which we showed that ir nelighborhood of the Ohio River, Kentucky lands are three and ~a half timnes as v'alua. ble, and lands equally as fatvorahly situat. oel and wvell improved on the lndianu sidle; and also that Keottucky hinds are muel' more valuable then the lands of Ohio, the niodel State of the Etmaocipators. .We htave since conversed with a highly respectable farmer of Jefferson county, a Peansylanian by birth, who informed us that a sale of a well improved tract ol land near Uriet, Indianta, (five miles above Louisville and 'wo miles front the Ohio,) wans made not lotng since at twenty dollari . per acre. An eqoally well improved atdd ~situated tract. cantnot be purchased on the Kentucky side of the River, fot less thati from forty dollars to seventy dollars pet acre. The same gentleman had lately beer spending sotne time in Ohio, nd he as sures us that the value of good lands in Kentucky, is from ten dollna to fifeer dollars above those of Ohio, location, im. provements, &c. being equal. The Farmer who gave us these facts, is, as we have before stated, a Pennsylvan. ian by birth, and is by no means shat mtay be termed an extretne man on the sub *eet of slavery. He informed as of what ekuows to'be facts, and leaves it to othert to mnake thieir own deduction from them. His testimony certainly overthrows the mere speculations of Mr. Clay and the Emaneipationists, relative to what would probably be the value of land in Kentucky. if she were turned into an Abolition Para dise.-Louiseile (Ky,) Chronicle.

Judge ol his surprise, when he recognized in the lady the keeper of a house of ill fame, at Augusta, Georgia. The lady mnotioned the gent to say nothing, but he was not to he coaxed, atid calling the keeper of the house, informed her of the character o, the lady. The good landiady was horror stricken, and begged.thtat the matter tmighi be kept secret; but the story had got aroundi the house, and the ;excitement was great, A policeman was sent for, but before he arrived the matter wvas settled, by the lady expressing at willingness to depart quietly. A carriage was sent for, and the aoi disani planter's wife departed for a mansion more suit able to :her exalted station.-New York Star. IJMPROVEMENT tN DENTisTaR.-Messrs Hill and Blackman, of Norfolk, Ct., have recently patented a new invention in den tistry, which consists in produicing com~ pound substance for frilling cutrious teeth, knowvn as "Hill's Stoppinge," possessing the valuable characteristic of being plastic when introduced int6 the cavity of tooth, and hardening as soon as it is packed. It frs taste les--inadorous, anti innocuous and as perfect a protection as can he, beintg completely inpermeablo to any fluids of the mouth,. and subject to no chemical chage.. . It is comparatively a non-condoelor of heat and cold,-dues not shrink, nor be ,.me rdienlrerd-ls ey nadhesive, and will cling to the walls of a tooth with won- I derful tenacity, and will remain in mere shells of tecti, without difficulty. It is more easily applied than any other stop ping, and can be made so near the color of a tooth as to escape detection in the mouth, except on a closeexamination. Its specific gravity is loss than g<.d, aid neac er ihat of the natural tooth. It is, in its natural similar to the tooth iself, and pro. fererable in many respects to metals of eve'ry description. The inventor observes:.--We believe it is destined ere long to revolutionize the pradtce ordentistry, with respect to filling carious teeth,-and to supply a place which uothiag else has yet been able to fill, being more easily applied than metals can be, both with respect to the comfort of the patient, aud the convenience of the operator. It. till sava a claks of teeth liherto doomed to inevitable destiuetion, and thereby save a vast amount of human suf fering. It is much less expensive. and therefore more extensivel ,applioablo than gold. *Farnmer and Mechanic. No TiME 'TO Woo.-A Business Con. tract.-The great Surgeon John Abernethy is stated thus businessdlike to have wooed and won his wife. It is certainly a very sensible way, though no donht it appears very odd to idlers, or persons of sentiment al minds: "The reported fashion oT his courtship and marriage is extremely characteristic. It is said, that while attending a lady for several weeko, he observed those admira ble qualities in her daughter, which he truly esteemed to be calculated to make the marriage state happy. Accordingly, on Saturday, when taking leave of his patient. lie addressed her lo the fhollowing purpor:-" You are now so well that I need not see you aTer Monday next, when I shall come anid pay my farewell visit. But in the meantime, I i% ish you and your daughter serionsly to consider the proposal I am about to make. It is abrupt and nnceremo'nions, I tam aware, bdit the ex cessive occupation of my timne. af''ord me no leisure to accomplish what I desire, by the most ordinary course oraiteniion and solicitation. My annual receips amount to :-, and I can s'ettle E-ou my wife; my character is generally known to the public; so as you may readly ascertain wlat it is. I have seen your daughter a tender; aff'ectionate assiduous and careful nurse, a gentle and lady-like member of your family; such a person must be all that a good hushand could covet, and I ofler my hand and 'fortune for her accep tance. On Monday. when I call, I shall expect your determination, for I really have not time for the routine ol courtship." . fi this way however, the lady Was wooed and won, and the unsion proved a happy one in every respect." aT Tite columns of the Pres? throughout the oiintry seem to be filled ivith notices of cures and spetifics for all diseases flesh is heir to, that. one scarcely knows 'what to do it case of disease, for fear that in using one medicine, amther and better may be overlo.kAd.- But fiom the rem'irkable cures, high order and vast ambimt of testimnotiy daily bronght under our perannal notice of the extraordiunaly ef'eiacy of DRI.
