Oar Demoerstio friendi bare the renSirlable faoulty of ilwav aeelng and viewing aUrtJaV" Northern friendi io the light of North era Ben ajlth Southern principle; and, per con tra, viewing all 8ootbern opponent, especially eandiditea for high office, at Southern men with Northern principle; and, at a natural deduction of their logic, no Southern man of the Opposition ought to be trusted or elevated to high potitioo. The jchirge rung in the face of the supporter of Mr. Bell, at to hi being aound on the tlavery question, come from hi accusers," like the hypo crite in the garb of a taint, to condemn a for doing thaHrhicb Ww do sot, and that wbicb they are thrice guilty of. Let oar friend thrust . in lb face of the blatant denouncer of Mr. Bell the following record from Mr. Bachanio' hiatory, and ask them to explain bow it it that they oould support Sir. Buchanan with such declarations and tuch principle four yeara ago? If their facet are not brass they will blush ; and if their consciences are not sear over political corruption, they will never make the charge of unsoundness against a man who it a paragon of political virtue aad patriotism' when compared with the author of the following sentiment: Mr. Buchanan aaid in 1820 : " That alarery was a great political and moral evil, and thtnkcd Gojl that bo did not lire io a Stuto where it ex isted." Mr. Boll news slavery in just an opposite light. and attributes the grcatnciand prosperity of the country to slavery. Mr. Buchanan, io his Texas speech in 1844 Mid : ," I yctfoel a strong rep ignnnce, by sny act oC-mine, to extend the limits of the Union .overt new slave Territory." Mr. Bell lavs ; " But humanity to the tlsre, no leu thin ju'tice to the master, recommends the policy of diffusion and extension into any oew Territory adapted to its condition." Mr. Buchanan, in the same speech Mid : " That the scquisition of Texas Would, ere long, convert Maryland Virginia, Kentucky, Missouri, and probably other of the more Northern stave States, into free State, I entertain'not a doubt." Mr. Buchanan, in 1848 said : ' That Congress ad the sovereign and exclusive power to legis late upon tbe subject of slavery in tbo territo ries. Mr.. Bell never gave utterance to any such heretical doctrines, but, on tbo contrary, held a different opinion. Mr. Buchanan, in 1856 denied his identity, aad said t I hat ha was no longer James liucb anan, but the platform of bis party ;" which, ao cording to Northern Democratic construction, contained the worst, kind of squatter sovereignty, to wit: allowing foreigners to vote, and a territo rial legislature to legislate upon the subject of larery. , Mr. Bell proudly points (o his record as' his platform, and says by it he is willing to stand or fall. He made it, and be will stand upon if? It was not made for htm, . Again, in 1856, Mr. Buchanan said :" That the people of a Territory, like those of a State, shall decide for themselves whether slavery shall or snail not exist in its limits. '-"" Mr. Bell says: "That the people of a Terri tory when tbey come to form their State Consti tution, and then only, can regulate their domestic institutions. J he right doctrine. ' Mr. Buchanan, in the- endorsement of the Kansas bill in toto, said : " That foreigners, upon their mere declaration of oath, should vote in the Territories." .' Mr. Bell voted against permitting foreigners the right of citizenship in the Territories, a un just to American citiiens. With such a record against a Democrat, and tuch a sound record for Mr. Bell, who will not say that there is no comparison between .the men, and that honesty and fairness in politics should bush the slander against Mr. Bell 1 Breckinridge Quibbling. In his late Frankfort speech John C. Breckin ridge denies the charge that he favored the elec tion of General Taylor in 1848, (a charge only set up by himself that he might have the fun of knocking it down for the real charge was that he was for Taylor in 1847 and deserted him in 1848.) He admitted that he participated in a Taylor meeting in 1847, but excused the aot on tbe ground that he then thought " General Tay lor's political opinions coincided in the main with those I beld ;" but that when he returned from Mexico in 1848, finding General Cass the nouii. nee. of his own party, he sustained him. 'liow, we have before us, says the Uichmond Whig, the official-report of the proceedings of the Taylor meeting, held in Lexington on the 13th of September, 1847, in which Mr. Breck inridge admits bis participation. Instead of be ing a Democratic meeting, as he artfully insinu ates in bis Frankfort speech, it was a meeting "called without respect of party, and which in the most pointed and explicit manner repudiated all parties. It deplored '.'the excesses ol party feeling and violence which have separated the peo of the United States," and declared that as the sentiment of Uie meeting in favor of the "ele vation to the Presidency of a man who shall feel himself to be'tbe President of tho Wholo People, ! - V'. . , , ,. of Part? J"" b0 caJ" . date of any party, not lend himself to party. schemes." Could a more einphatio repudiation of the Democratic party, a well as others, be written than this? But nioroahan this Mr. ?

George B. Kinkead, Henry Johnson, " Satu'l D. MeCuUougb, E. K. Say re, ' ' F. K. Hunt, John C. Breckinridge. After reading the above,-can any one make himself so blind as not to see that John C Breckinridge quibbled and prcvariratcd, in t manner unworthy bis high aspirations, when, in his Frankfort speech, -he pretended that he sup ported Taylor in 1847 because he believed him to be Democratic in his opinions, and went for Cass in 1848 on the score of principle? r The "Ouly" Comervalive Parly. TbeBreckinridge party arrogates for itself all the conservatism of this country on tho question of slavery." Who was its presiding officer at Bal timore, when Mr. Breckinridge was nominated? Caleb Cushing, of Massachusetts, who became indignant at the idea of the North trying to ex elude slavery from- the Territories, and went off with the Southern faction; whose principles are to force it into the Territories nolens volens. Where did Mr. Cashing stand in 1836 while in Congress ? What is his record on tbe question of slavery " Where has this Northern leader of Southern " fire-caters" heretofore stood f " Bead from " Benton's thirty years' review" page 632-3 of 1st vol., and you will find an extract from his speech opposing the admission of- Arkansas, on the ground that she had slavery recognized in her constitution. He says, " I cannot by any vote of mine ratify or sanction a constitution ot govern ment which nndertakes in this way to foreclose in advance th progress of -ciciUxitio?. and of liberty forever." On that ground alone, on the 13th of June, 1836, he voted against her admis sion as a State. W bat has brought this " change o'er the spirit of his dream?" Caleb then wanted to force slavery out of the Territories; now he wants to force it in. Gorrrpment Officers Electioneering. - The Washington . correspondent of . the New York Herald writes, "the Breckinridge President Committee have ordered, for gratuitous circulation, five hundred thousand copies of President Buch anan's speech. This was proposed by Mr. Flinn, Navy Agent bere, and unanimously-adopted." Thus things go. The very Department that was recently proved before the Covode Commit tee to have acted corruptly is endeavoring to sus tain the powers that bo, in openly participating by such means in the canvass. At the close of Sir. Fillmore's administration there was a large surplus in tho Treasury. The annual expense of the National Govcrment Was only forty militant, and all parties united in ap plauding his judicious administration and the then happy state of things. How stand things now. The annual expense eight) millions, an empty Ireasxiry tnialargc national debt accumu lating, to carry on the (joperument,iiwl it proven to be guilty of the abuse of power vested in it. Still, under these circumstances, we see govern ment officora openly participating to perpetuate the present corrupt state of things. Will not a free people, in justice to themselves, now that lho time has-arriveflpinake a thorough change and restore things to a wholesome condition ? In. oar judgment Bell and Everett will do it. . So Chanc! for Breckinridge. ; One of the Domocratio candidates for the Vice Presidency, Gov. Johnson, is reported to have said in his speech at Jones' Wood, that Breck inridge) stood no chance at the South that he was not cortain of more than one State, and that he could not possibly carry one. electoral tote in the free States and that if Breckinridge thought he could carry any electoral vote North, he had less sense than Johnson had given hiiu credit for. Bui he laid likewise, that the running of his ticket North might secure Lincoln's election, by preventing a union of all conservative unti Re publican voters on one ticket. - .: It i as true us gospel that Breckinridge is not ; i . ; ., , , even iu ine ring in me present canvass.

The Charleston Mercury, aaserta that there are " Humbert of Vongren from the South, who, as the Democratic party goes to pieoc, will form the nucleus of a Southern organization," and and that " there can be no doubt that tho poli ticians, no lea than tho people of tho South, are strengthening in the belief that nothing is left bat taking their destinies in their own keeping." Acd this same journal also intimites that "to' BREAK UP PUB PRESENT UNION and ESTABLISH another of the South alone," is not much of an affair just a pleaiaut recreation to be enjoyed whenever tho conspirators think the time has come to "precipitate" tho country into Disunion, And,' in the exultation of tho moment, in the full persuasion that the train is all laid, and the torch ready to be applied, and success certain, be exclaims, " Let tho struggle come when it may, the South, to schicvo her relief, will have to TRAMl'LE IMJ'X A U.NION PARTY in tllO track to her political emancipation.." The Mobilo Mercury says, not only that " the times are now ripe," tad that "the country is now ripe for the organization of a political move ment," but that it has been " credibly informed that conferences bare been already held, having for tbclr object tbe organization of political move ments io tho South," looking to disunion, j The Meicury also declares that the " plant bavo been set on foot and almost matured preparatory to ac tion." So it would seem that, Mr. Yancey's de sign to "instruct the Southern mind to fire the Southern heart was being accomplished, as, in tho opinion of tbe Mercury, public sentiment was fully "ripe" in May of lost year "plans" had been considered and adopted, and almost ma tured for action. ' . Our Mobile contemporary assures its readers, to confident is he that the Southern mind has been instructed in Disunion doctrines, and tbe Southern heart completely fired, that " the move ment, if judiciously inaugurated, will sweepovcr tht land with a force that no opposition will be able to check." If no plans had been matured, and if those plans were not known and con curred in by numbers of persons throughout the South belonging to the League, how could, the Mobile Mercury so confidently say that the move ment would " sweep over tho laud" with such resistless power 1 In view of these things, does it not appear clear that Disu.nion is decided UPON by the leaders and wirepullers who manage the Breckinridge Democracy I " 1 bere you bare it, fellow citizens ! To accom plish their designs, and to " achieve" the safety ol the south, which really means in their vocab ulary, to continue the present imbecile, extrava gant and corrupt Administration, and political gainblersnnd political libcrtinas in place and power, or to dissolve this glorious Union, they form secret Leagues, lay plans in secret, that they may effectually trampledoicn a Union party and con summate their atrocious designs. ith.some with many, then, disunion is decided upon, tbey can posssibly effect it by threats or by trampling down a Union party." But with 11 their power and iufluenoo, they cannot ac complish it, if the people can be only convinced that this is their design. So let the pcoplo be aroused and exhorted to immediate and decisive action. . " Hon. J. J. Crittenden, On the 26th ult., addressed fifteen thousand Union men and women, at Watkin's Park, Nash ville, Tenq. In concluding his speech, the" " old man eloquent" referred to the formation and construction of the Constitution, and drew a bright picture of the liberty and prosperity enjoyed by the country governed by it, and then referred as follows to the result of a dissolution of the Union: " The poor man would be taken from his cot and forced into tho army, or with a soldier bil lettcd on him, would be forced to suffer insult to himself, and perhaps dishonor to his home. The respect of the world would be lost our flag dis graced, and the glorious title of an An crican citizen would be no protection abroad. On the ! contrary, the ships of the onco respceted-anof feared republic would skulkfiu out of the way bays and rivers and harbors, and fear to meet a I foreign flair UDon the oncn sea.

Tbe child is now dwelling in some of your homes who will lire to- see one hundred millions of free men in this great valley of the Mississippi I know I may not hope to, but I would to heaven I might' live to behold that number of freemen obeying the mandates of this great Republic, and feasting on the bless ings of liberty.

Yes, let us do our duty and preserve for the future and for all timo the rich inheriteuco of an undi vided and free country." . - . AVi;.dora of John Bell. The Xatibual iutAligen'ccr in peakingof tho "record of. John Bell," compiled by the Union Committee of Tennessee, and recently published in tho Argus, which tccord proves his statesman ship, his wisdom, and his reliability to the South, as well as his disposition to' do justice to all sec tions of the Union, says, that " whilst he has been , conservative in his temper, Mr. Bell has ever been cautious in language and prudent in action. If. in obedience to. these Cardinal nualities. he has unmetimea been called tori moderate asrainft I the extreme views of his own section, it has been r i in virtue of considerations which, while they j evinced his superior sagacity) have at tbe sime time illustrated his firmness and his patriotism.'

Political parties must needs be and arj essen tial to the prosperity and integrity of tho govern ment; yet in themselves and separately conaioV cred, they art an evil, bt cause they tend to run It is impossible fur any considerable body of men to unanimously agree upon all questions of mere policy." They mayall be honest; theymsy all desire to effect tbe greatest amount of good to the greatest number; but it is impossible thai tliev all agree fully upon the policy to be pur sued fur the accomplishment of the desired end. Ilenco, there will be different plans, and etch plan will constitute a party. Before tho Bevolution we had two parties, and however we may now censure tho Toiics aad praise the Whig, we must believe there wero honest men in both parties, whose purposes wero good and who desired to act for the good of themselves and their children. They widely dif fered as to the means, but bad tho policy of tho Tories succeeded and not that of tho Whigs, ,1.. -i.i il l i 1UD VCIUIlb Ul IHV nUlIU WUU1U 1181 V lCCU ,T versed. There ia thia censure, however, which justly rests npon . the Tories : attar their policy ' was defeated after a majority of tho citizens in all the States had resolved to annul the right of iriiir. legislation over hip American voioniea ' they should hare aoccded to , the majority and united with the Whigs, in the defense of the De claration of Independence. Parties are necessarily short lived. Princi ple! may not change, but the cxigencicl of the circumstances may, and new principle be in volved. These changes ore frequent ; and since' two men may agree npon ono principle and dif' fer npon another,, it is nothing uncommon, and. should not be considered strange, that upon tho introduction of new principles or new exigen cies in the management of public afiaira, men once standing together firmly and unmovably, should be found face to face in bitter contest. The Whig were successful iu.the atruggle for Independence ; but so soon ; as our Indepen-. dence was acknowledged and the question was asked, what next to pet pttuate this Independence new issues were involved and new parties formed iruong those, who had waded through the bloody Revolution shoolder to shoulder. These parties not only exist of necessity, but are necessary for the good of the whole. Were all to agree upon . any onc policy, the wheels of government would be like a train of cars running on a continuous down grade without brakes, which would in time dash itself to pieces with its own accelerated velocity. Parties generate discussions and sift the. truth frani the'iallacieir." Free discussion ia one ot the chief glories of our government. - The Declaration of Indcpcnce has been tigned and sent forth to the world, enemies were upon our shores and in our midst to extinguish tbe feeble spark which was about to kindle into a . blaze of freedom ; the cause of one Colony is. tho cause of each and all; it is ncccssiry to form , Articles of Confederation for mutual protection ; there are debates and divisions on different prop ositions, but tbe articles are formed on princi ples so broad and general,, as to enable all tho States to subscribe to themr ' - - Tho new Confederacy is just beginning to work. It is an experiment. Tho exigencies of trying times point out the deficiencies of the then existing Articles of Confederation, and con flicting interests demand amendments. Radical changes always create nartisans. Hence, in form ing the Constitution of the United Suites, in i. ! l il i : i I l- .l:ir.! . wuicu suuu ruuiuui uiiuuges were iuuuu, umuuug so essentially from the previous form of govern ment, new parties were again made And here originated the first regular political parties, the Republican and Federalist. Theso parties con tended and contested and continued, until, in the onward" march of the Country, new principles wore involved, then old parties gave way and new parties wero funned. The Democratic par ty succeeded the Republican, the Whig succeeded the Federalist, in the main, though principles originating the new parties wero quite different from those creating the first. Of tho Federalists, the principal leaders were Washington, Adams, Hamilton, and Jay; among tho Republicans the lcaduig men were Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Burr, and Gallatin. But though ihe Federalists were succeeded by the Whigs, and the llcpubli- cans by the Democrats, yet it does not follow mat every reueranst oecame a u nig, or tnai every Republican became a Democrat. - In tho breaking up of old parties by the intoduction of ncw theories, the people join issues as to the fu- ture contest and not as to Ihe past. Selfishness 1 mnr anmpiimpia rironint in pprfuin aetinns. but in the main, parties originate throogh honest mo tives. We do not say honesty prompts every movement, but the safety of the country is se cured through the element of sslf-destrnction in every party becoming corrupt Corruption may for a time rule in high places, but the wheel of retribution will soon turn around and men and parties be .consigned their . appropriate spheres. Injustice may for a time impede, but the onward inarch of progress cannot be stayed. Wo have written what we have written not to abuse or censure parties ; but to show that the love of country is above the love of party, and that whenever the interest of the couutry is periled, party ties, are forgotten. It ia then . when pattiots work and party is not remetn- . bered. It is then when we should look back to first principles, aud remember that, the cause of one man is the cause of every ninn ; that tho cause of one State is the cause of every State ; that the cause of oneectibn is the cause of both sections ; and as fellow-citizens of one country, unite for Ihe country's good. , . . In the present agitated and excited condition- , of the couutry and of parties, we ore unable to tell who is who, and what is wh.it. Therefore, all we know, and all we can counsel, is, OCR Country S .May she be preserved from fanatics, and ruled by statesmen, who acfinowJedge allegi ance to Patriotism and not to Party.
