Oca Cnoicg. A uioutb $go we announced
that we would not ba premature in our choice,
and that wo were willing to sucr.fion our prefer
ence to defeattbe Abolitionists We also itetcd
that wt would endearor to ttaintain nationality
gnt faction.
Now that we tea no earthly chance for a recon
eiliatioo between the two wiug of the Democrat-
ie DartT fcotb of Vblcb bava abanaoncd ui an
dmiAeUbrwai hod there by alienated taooon
fidenea and aympathy of every lover of (he
Union, and in an evil hour permitted a blind
idolatry of men to awallow np their derotion to
priooiplea aa well aa tbeir dcaire for the hatmony
and luccear. of tha great national brotherhood
and that (bey really occupy a position ot autagon
ism to ni. and are led on by men from whom
we bad reaioa to eipeet better things we have
come to the conclusion that it is more .patriotic
to rapport the Bell and fcrerett ticket
We bare not adopted tbia course without first
calmly and anziooily aurrermg toe political con
ditioa of the country, aad more especially the
circa mitaneea which ' are unhappily distracting
and dividing the oooe great Democratic party.
The seeederr Convention and tne acts ot tait
bodv bava no claim upon as aa a Democrat. That
orrauitation was irregular: ita doings not. only
bare no au toon ty, but are subrernve ana destruR'-t
tire of object for which the great Democratic
party iu organised. Conventions grew np as a
necessity to harmonise conflicting opinions as to
men and measures, so that united action might
be veenred for tba maintenance of, principles.
Delegates have an unquestionable ngbl to with
draw from a Convention, and StaU-s to secede,
and both to make platforms and nominate candi
dates; but by doing so in violation of the usages
of tbeir party, they place themsclres beyond its
pale, ana assume the character of bolters and
diwrnniiers so far as tbat party is concerned,
and throw it permanently in the minority.
It is useleee to deny it, the integrity of our
government, the security of nur rights and insti
rations, are threatened with fue most appalling
perils; sectional fanaticisms are rapidly advan
cing to their otertnrow, wincn, it nut now
checked in tbeir mad career, will rarely effect
tneruiaof tbeuepublie. It therefore behooves
every freeman and patriot, at this uiouicntou"
crisis in our history, to exert the highest sod
most earnest efforts of an unbiased judgment n
warding ofl the dangers aod defeating the eno
tnies of our. rights and liberties.
Tba Candida tee we today present to our reader
stand upon that impregnable platform uf princi
ples so dear to the whole nation the vmmi, me
ComttitMttoH, ad the Laut, and we support
them from a sense of personal responsibility and
devotion to tbe rights of the 8outb. as secured
by tbe Federal Constitution, and also with a due
deference to tbe aeatiment of the people of the
parish of Vermilion, and, aa we sincerely beiievc,
of the whole State.
The platform of the National -Constitutional
Union party, approved and accepted by Messrs.
Bell and Everett is in tha broadest sense a na
fionaf platform; a frank and manly avowal of
we principles wnicu aciiuua uu yj, cumcij
free from generalities and ambiguity, aod suscep
tible of but ene interpretation or construction ;
and in these particulars essentially superior to
the platforms of tbe new tangled dogma ot squat-
. t . t i i. . : j : .. T
ier aovereiguiy or ui uo uia cutuu uuumuuuu
It is a platform too narrow for political trimers,
tricksters, and demagogues, but expansive enough
lad strong enough to meet the approbation aud
challenge the confidence of every true citizen
who rinoerely desires to maintain tbe Constitu
tion of tbe country, tbe L men of tbe Mates,
and the enforcement of the uws.
Placed upon this platform wo hare two stale
men well known to tbe nntica dv tne uistin
guisbed services they have rendered to the coun
trystatesmen of profound wisdom, ot tried and
approved integrity, of sound constitutional views
upon all questions affecting tho welfare and pros
perity of our great Republic With fuch a
platform, and such candidates, we enter into the
contest, buoyant with hope, aod confident that
the gallant and generous dutondcrs of the U nioa
under the Constitution, will rally with enthusi
asm to the support of the glorious ticket which
waves to-day at tbe bead ot our columns.

In the same issue of tbe Abbeville (La.) Me
ridional from which tha above is taken, is let
ter from R. F. Patten, a candidate for District
Attorney, defining hi position in regard to polit
ical partie. He says:
" I am a Douglas Democrat in principle. I om
also supporting, and voting for, Bell and Everett.

Its coanoo Oi DVU jur aissuan ia iuuou nwi
than that of either Breckinridge or Douglas,
Judging from the present aspect of affairs it is
difficult to imagine any other result,, than that
Arkansas will cast her eleotora! vote for Bell snd
Everett. Everything now indicates this result.
Tbe nominee of each of tbe Democratic Con
ventions to nominate candidtites for Governor and
Congress bava been defeated, exrept liindman
in the 1st district, who was nominated in opposi
tion to the wishes of tbe old party leadors. The
old party is now in confusion. They have no
nnity. Tha reaent election baa left tbsm bittter
ly sxaapeTAta4.AgsJaat .tbo Demoersts whom
they term disorganizeit, whilst the diaoigtnicers
themselves triumph over tne om aynauy ucm
oerats, with exulting jeers and taunts The
leading Rector organ calls it ' the old die-nas-
ty."
" The nomination of Bell in tha midst of all
this had a surprising effect.. , All at once it was
perceived to be the thing. . It touched tbe deed
Cooes of all tbe old latent Wbiggery, and it is
arousing in astonishing fashion. It did more
than that. It affordod a noble party for all the
disaffected of the Democracy. All the old Whig
sentiment aow boldly asserts itself. Much of
tbe old Democracy, disgusted with tbeir own dis
sensions, ia willing to take refuge here with a
pure, patriotic, national party. Bell himself
crestea an enthusiasm beyond wbat could have
been expected. It is spontaneous, and lasting
grows indeed with each day. sincerely think
that be would carry the State agaiost 'a single
Democratic tieket. .
"As an instance of what is going on I will state
that last Saturday we had a rally here and formed
a Bell and Everett club. It was joined by some
fifty persons who have heretofore acted with the
Democrats. . -
" Col. Epperson, a prominent Whig leader in
Texas, it at present in town (or baa. just left )
lie will in all probability be one of the electors
for that State. He reports tbat it is now certain
that there will be a fusion of the Bell, Houston,
and Douglas men in opposition to Breckinridge
there. If so, Texas is probable ior Bell."
A Tetrrao for Bell aod Eurctt.
Mr. Editor: I have just returned from a visit
to the southern pari of tbe State. I think the
recapitulation of a conversation I hsve bad
with an old revolutionary soldier, would be of
some interest to young America. He soys: I
was one of tbe number, that exchanged the
fjuiet.and comfortable home and loved ones', for
the bustle, noise, and dangers of the field of bat
tle, liavo 'seen the warm blood of friends flow
profusely. Have beard tbe dying shrieks of tbe
brave. Have seen the lion coming from his
lurking place, weaiing bis red coat, and like Go
liah, challenging the world to battle. Have seen
a David meet bim in tbe plains, and sbow bis
valor iu his destruction. Tbe battles over, we re
turned to our homes, and voted Washington for
President. Sinco then I have ever been a con
sistent Democrat, but now am for Bell aod Ever
ett, as in my judgment their's are the only prin
ciple that can save the Union, that I with others,
exposed, endangered aud lost their live to pro
cure. While the old man thus spoke tbe tears
of devotion to his country were making their
way down his furrowed cheeks cbeeks that have
been bedding, blooming, blushing, fading for
over one hundred years. . Mora snoo.'

We hear that great revolution is going on in
Northern Arkansssin behalf of Bell and Ever
ett. A private letter to a business bouse in New
Orleans, ssjs the Crescent, reports that many
Democrats, in oonsequonce of divisions in their
own ranks, have determined to support the Union
ticket, aod that the cause is steadily gaining
ground. It really seems thst we will have to put
down old Democratic Arkansas, too, along with
the rest for Bell and Everett.
Florida. -
A letter from Molton, Florida, dated 3d inst.,
asys : '
" We now claim Florida ior Bell and Everett.
The split in the Democratic party, and the dis
union proclivities of tbe Breckinridge side, and
the squatter sovereignty of the Douglss side, are
playiog smash with tbem. Tbe people are for
union and equal rights in the territories."
Row And Tkrn.
A eorrcPDondent of tbe Augusta Chronicle re
minds us oi the fsct thst Mr. Toombs, the chief
upholder of Breckinridge in the South, now
shouts, " Tbe cry of Union is treason to the
South," aod in 1811 he said, while opposing the
admission of Texas, becsuso (he measure tended
to disunion : ' I prefer the Union without Texas
to Texas without tho Union."
Tote on the Cars.
A Tote wss taken on the Naohville train
Wednesday with the following result; Bell 20,
Douglas 15, Lincoln 8. Nathcille Banner.
167 The New York Express says: "Every
body in Louisiana appears to bo coming over to
Bell and Everett. We get a new Bell and Ev
erett papoi from that region about every other
day. We never eavr anything like it Tbe
whole country is evidently stirred to its pro
foundest depths. The other day the Commer
cial Bulletin gave us the names of sixteen Bell
and Everett papers in Louisiana, then it recorded
the advent of another,, and now it announces
one more.' But this is not all. Within the
few days past many distinguished men in various
Kits of the country, who were previously on the
imocratio side, have declared for Bell and Ev
erett. Among these are E. M. Yerger, Esq., of
Mississippi, Hon. George T. Ward of Florida,
aod Hou. Haze Kich Thompson, of Louisiana.
So we go. Ring the Bell !"
jtigT A letter from a gentleman on a visit to
New York, dated Sept. 4, to a ftiend residing in
Montgomery, Ala., says : .
"When I came North, a month since, tho al
most universal opinion was, tbat Lincoln would
be elected : but tbe thing has entirely changed,
and strong hopes are entertained, on all hands,
that the country will be saved that 'digrudation,
and it is settled on all sides thar the Bell aud
Everett party is tho ouly one that can do it."

a new Dell aud Everett paper just established io
lactutd, lisliominiiO county. iUissis.sippi. Ibis,
one of the stronest Democratic counties in Mis
sissippi, will give a large majority for Bell and
Everett. , '
POLITICAL CflERESrCNDENCE.
A correspondent at Montgomery, Ala., sends
to the Nashville Banner the follwii.g cheering
letter: :
" From the signs of tbe times the Union can
didate Will sweep this State. Our merchants
are now returning from the North, snd they uni
versally concede that Bell and Everett is the only
ticket that can defeat Lincoln. Men tvho left
here a few weeks ago in favor of Breckinridge,
return loud in their praise of Bell, and are going
to vots for him. Tbe Hon. Henry W. Hilliard,
who ia now on a visit to New York, has declared
for Bell and Everett the Constitution and the
Union. Col. Tho. H. Watts, the most influen
tial man iu Middle Alabama, and law partner of
Mr. Judge, has just returned from Texas, and
brinea elorious news of the prospects he saw
every where, for the Union candidates. As soon
as the. health of Mrs Watte will permit, he will
take tbe stump for Bell and Everett, and will do
great good. Every body kuowa bim, aod to know
him ia to love him. You may place Alabama
side by side with Virginia, Maryland, Kentucky,
North Carolina, Mistdsaippi, and your, own glo
rious Tennessee, for we' intend to carry tbe atate
for Bell and Everett, and teach the Disunionists
such a lesson as will cause them to lie low for the
future. An overwhelming defeat is now staring
them iu the face, and they are growing desperate.
It fond of the Union, in all tbeir speeches You
J may rely upon it, thst half yon see in the Mont
gomery Mail of tbia place, is not true. It is a
Breckinridge, disunion paper, and the editor
(J. J. Hooper) has become very desperate, for it
is generally Known, that bsndreds ot his subscri
bers sro constantly stopping his paper on account
of it, disunion aentimenta."
" A correspondent at Majnolia,' Ark , writes
hopefully f our cause there aod tba prospect of
even carrying the State.
- A correspondent at Covington, Tcnn.; says :
1 " Out candidates, Bell and Everett, are gain
ing grownd ia this county. I know some Demo
crat that will vote for them.
" Tbe Democrats here are quarreling a good
deal, and we have a good time of it listening to
them." ' ;.

Ah entbusiastio Bell man write from Bower's
Mills, t'js , as follows:
" Tbe late elections in Kentucky, Missouri snd
Arksosas have had a torriblo effect, and has put
onr friend Msj. Breckinridge on tbe decline, and
all good Georgians are coming to tbeir sens ss
well as eyesight, for they see that Bell is tbe only
man that can defeat Mr. Lincoln. One thing ia
certain, Bell will carry Georgia by at least 5,000
majority over all others. The vote of Georgia
will stand as follows: Bell 56,000; Breckinridge
88,000 ; Douglas 13,000."
A correspondent st Altamont, lenn., says:
"The Bell fever is ranging, and unless we are
much mistaken we will gain 400 votes tbia time
in Grundy."
From Bellsburg, Tenn., a correspondent says :
" Bell and Everett will do a good business io
this section. I am in the 'State of Dickson,'
and my district polls 100 votes, of whioh Bell and
Everett nre certain of eighty."
- From Lexington, Tenn., we have a long and
encouraging letter, from which , tho following is
an extraet :
"Thinking, probably, it would interest yon to
hear from West Tennessee, I choose to write you
a short letter. Tbe canvase thus far is resulting
in our fuvor. The Breckinridge men are so se
vere on the few Douglasites, that the latter boldly
repudiate any coalition with them. Bell will make
a gain in this county orer the vote thst tha gallant .
hero of the Ninth, E. Etheridgo, received last
summer. Mark this, will you? We are all
jubilant, and the masse entbusiastio in support
of Bell and Everett. I have been in scvoral
co'inties lately and can safely say that our cause
is paining ground. I have taken particular pains .
to find out tbe true status, of parties. In tbia
county Bell's vote will be about 1 ,450 ; Breckiu-'
ridge's 500; Douglas 175. Now, if the Doug
alsitessec no hope for tLeir candidate some of them
will vote for Breckinridge, snd others for Bell.
Yet, some of them are fixed in their determina
tion to vote for Duiilas ar.y way. At onr flag
raising on Monday several Douglas aod one Buch
anan Democrat assisted. .Three Democrat told
me on that occasion that tbe safest vote was for
Bell, and that although they had never given a
Whig vote in their lives, tbey intended to rote -for
Bell aod Everett"
A correspondent at Hickman, Ky., says; - '
" Kentucky is all light. I don't ssy this for
political buncombe, but I know it. . In this coun
ty Bell will gain 100 votes out of 1,000 voter
in the county."
A correspondent st Columbia sends the follow
ing, dated the 4th : .
" A day or tvro ago in traveling from Colum
bia to Pulaski, I wss disposed to see what was
the voice among tho passengers on the Central
Southern Railroad. . The vote stood Bell 22;
Breckinridge and Lane 8 ; and Douglas 2. The
Douglas men were from Huutsville, Ala. I have
a contract on the C. S. R. Road below Pulaski,
and travel onee a week down to where my hands
are at work, end fiud tbe vote as to proportion
fitnilar to TTie above vote. Bell snd Everett'
stock is on the rise daily in Muury and Giles. I
have beard several Democrats state during tho
last ten days, that they expected to vote for Bell
and Everett."
A CART.IL ILtl'STBiliO.V.
Judge Orr, of Missouri, the Union candidate
for Governor, in a recent speech in St Louis,
thus illustrated the game of the Breckinridge
men: " "
The Democratic platform declares their oppo
virion to the agitation of tbe nigger question ; aod
yet you can't put a Democrat on tbe stump ten
minutes before he is agitating tne auoject witn
all his might They endeavor to alarm the peo
ple by telling them that their institutions are in
danger, and that they aro the ones to protect
them; But the people are beginning to know
them as well ss the, lion knew the donkey with
whom he was traveling. Tho pair becoming
huncrv. the donkey proposed that they should
turn aside to a cornfield. They did so, and
the donkey, hating feasted to his content, wss
preparing to leave; but the lion said; "What
am J to do? I cannot eat corn;" . " True," said,
the donkey ;' " but if job will lie in ambush here,
I will go into the thicket yonder, and frighten the
deer with a bray, so that yon can catch one as
they attempt to escape." Tha Hon agreed.' and.
tho jackass, goin? into tbe thicket, brayed so ter
ribly that all the deer in it came running out.
The lion seixed one and made a meal of tbe prey. .
Op coming back, the donkey with much conceit,
asked, Didn't I scare them 7" Y," replied
the lion, "and you would have acifred me, too, if
I hadn't known who you were!" Just so, we
might be frightcnedby the predictions ol danger
to our institution by tbe Democrats, if we did not
know exsctly what value to set upon them. '

of England, was busily engaged, a poor
