JOHN BELL of Tennessee, FOB VICE-PRESIDENT, EDWARD EVERETT of Mass PL A TFORhf. — “ The Constitution, the Union and the Er\forcemcn t qf the Laics." have the utmost confidence in his integ rity, and would not hesitate to place in his hands all the powers our government could confer on one man, But we will‘speak of him more at length on some future occasion. John Dell and Edward Everett. To-day we hoist the names of John Bell, of Tennessee, and Edward Ever ett, of Massachusetts. Our delay in doing so was not caused by the want of the utmost confidence in the purity, patriotism, ability and soundness of the candidates of the Constitutional Union Party. Thel South had princi ples at stake. Those principles woro assailed by the Block Republicans and the- Douglas Democracy. The latter havo dared to'come with their tronchor- ous heresies into our very homos, and have led off* those of our own house hold. Wo believed it to bo the duty of tho entire South to rally around a common b inner and drivo back the invaders.— Wo hoped this might bo done In Geor gia, without tho sacrifice of principle, nr honor. Wo thon callod upon those, between whom and oursolves there was the most cordial agreement in princi ples, and who had for the sake of theso principles severed the patty ties which and unitod them for many long yoars, to moot, us upon fair and honorable terras, and wo would consign our ene mies to political graves from which there would bo no resurrection. Our call has teen disregarded. No intimation lias reachod U3 that it would v vor bo responded to, Tho only terms of Union which havo boon proposed, ini vo been, that if wo would support Breckenridgo and Lane, they would allow us to do so. * In somo Instances our propositions have boon spurned, mid even our aid despised. Wo once thought tho Constitutional Democracy were actuated by lovo of principles; wo now four that wo were mistaken. Wo will not now Bay what vo believe controls thorn, for wo may wrong, and havo no dosiro to widon ::io breach between us so long as thoro is a vestige of hopo remaining that wo may como togethor, Tho develop ments of tho futuro will determine hither our coi\joctuics aro correct.— If they bo, then wo will give them to l'.io public for what they aro worth. It was with tho hope, that those, in i n Georgia at least, who were separated by names alone, would bo united in do* : .nee of our common oauso, against our jommon enemies, that we have waited this long beforo announcing our ad herence to tho nominations of the Con- aiitutionul Union party. This hope bus nearly expired. Wo see nothing to bo accomplished by furthor delay. Wo therefore take our stand upon the sido of principles, and, if it be necessary, aro willing to go clown fighting for them. Those who prefer to wranglo for party names, party organisations and party ascendency, can do so. Wo do net eiivy them tholr occupation, and will not join them in their unprofitable work. A word or two as to our candidates now, and inoro hcroaftor. No man in tho Southern States has beon more abu sed for unsoundness upon the slavery question, than John Boll of Tennessee, And why? Bocause, being one of tho very few of tho old Whig party, of abili ty and influence, still occupying a prom inent position in the government, largo proportion of tho abuse, which •Democrats are wont to lioap upon their opponents in order to remove them from their path to publio plunder, lias fullon to his share. ‘.Death and Democracy love a shining mark, and, heretofore, tho formor has not provud a more export marksman than the latter. In fact De mocracy has generally stricken down great statesmen ami pure patriots, be fore Death sent them to their “long homes.’' So it was with tho eloquent Clay ; po was with tho lamented Berrien; so was with tho pure Orittonden ; so it with the illustrious Bell. Against them has been the cry, loud und long, of un sound! unsound !1 The people wore deceived by tho noise; many of the smaller men becoming alarmed, joined in the shout, and wero the loudest among the loud, against tlioso whom they formerly deemed it an honor to be associated with. But those true-men, conscious of the rectitude of their intentions, and look, ing to posterity-for their vindication, heeded not their insane cry. Having ns their mot'o, the immortal words of thoic great compeer, “ I had rather bo right thnn bo President,'' they fell in its defence. John Bell has lived to see his principles announced us tho true South ern doctrine He has lived to see hi: calumniators sever their connexion with Jheir Northern allies because thoy'reiu- *ed to acknowledge these same princi ples. He lias lived to sec his enemies lay down Ids principles as the test of soundness upon d»e slavery question.— He has lived to seen united .South de clare them to lie ithe only terms of po litical afllilialion -with Northern politi. clans. Ho has lived to seo thousands of the strongest Southern men willing to . take him as their candidate, and his re cord as his platform. Would that ho might live to carry out faithfully those principles in tho administration of government. Our space will not permit us to say anything now of Mr. Everett, oxcopt • hat a more gifted statesman, a purer *■ fttriot, and a more trustworthy man do** not jive in lire United States, We ISJrTho following extract from a pri vate letter of an officer of tho U. 8. Squadron stationed on the coast of Sici ly during the revolution which Is raging on that Island, will bo found vory inter esting : U. S. Steam Sloop-of-War “Iroquois.” Pai.krmo, Island of Sicily, May 20th 1800, 0 P. M. We avo stationed on tho const of Sicily for tho presont on account of the civil war—tho war of in dependence—which is raging on tho Is land. We loft Naplos on tho 21»t and arrived hero tho next clay. As long us tho revolution lasts we will ho kept crui sing up and down the const. It is not so bad as watching the dusky sons of Morocco, on that sickly coast; and as we have sovernl pretty girls living on board lor protection—to keep our moon light watches wi l h us, tho tiino passes quickly and pleasantly. Garibaldi is encamped alxuit nine miles from tho city, near tho “Pnrco.” Wo aro looking overy hour for him to make an attack upon the city. I have just returned from a visit to his head quarters. A party of four of us procee ded in a carriugo, guided by a rebel in isguiso; aud on arriving at the village we were mot by a young officer—a Colo nel of tho Chasseurs des Alps, who had served with Garibaldi in tho Into war with Austria—who kindly offered us horses and a guide to conduct us to tho camp. Tho formor wo declined, as tho road was but n more foot path up tho stoop sides of a mountain ravino. Half an hour's climbing brought us to a small piece of level land enclosed between tho mountain peuks, in tho middle of which was tho bivouuo. A more roman tic 8pot, or one more in unison with the wild, advonturous spirits of tho men who had riskod their lives in a desper ate crusade against tyranny, could soarcoly ho imagined. Nature could not presont a view moro sublbno and free, or anything bettor calculated to en gender the lovo of freodom than tho awful grandeur which surrounded it.— Tho stern aspect of tho mountain scon- ery was much softened by a few ulivo trees in luxuriant foliugo which grew in little oases of loose soil; furnishing ^a delightful rofugo from tho burning rays of a .Sicilian sun. On ono sido wo had most boautiful views of tho Mediter ranean, its bluo waters dotted here and there with armod vessels of tho King Naples cruising along tho coast; and tho city of Pulcrmo which wns soon witnoss all the horror^pf a desperate battle, with its harbor crowded with for eign ships of war. Looking towards tho interior wore rich vullie8, shady orange groves and tho white cottages of the ponsnnta. Tho situation was such that tho movements tho Neapolitans, and tho arrivul and departure of the King’s cruisers could distinctly seen, while it uflbrdod not the slightest knowledge of tho num bers or tho preparations of the revolu tionists. 1 must acknowledge hoing disappoin ted in tho military character of tho sceno which was sproad beforo us. Va rious roports had rcuchod us of tho largo numbers that hud fioexed to the stan dard of Garibaldi. It was estimated that not lois than sixty thousand armed men woro under ids command. Instond immense encampment I saw only solitary tent and that of tho rudest description, bolonging to tho “General” A saddle for a pillow and a military overcoat for a hod was all it contained. Several stacks of muskets, a few cavalry saddles, a box, two of Colt's revolvers, cooking utensils of various description: sovoral bundles of blankets, baskets qf bread, and a few Bkins of v.ino were scattered over tho ground ; while a few quarters of fresh boef and mutton were hanging to tho lower branches of tho trees. About fifty or sixty officers of different ranks, in soiled uniforms and with unshaven facos were lounging about; some lying in tho shade of tho trees smoking and writing lcttors ; and othors walking about discussing the riotis plans for the attack on Palermo. These were Garibaldi’s distinguished of ficers—his terrible Chasseurs lies Alps. the very mention of whoso name mado the Austrain soldier sleep uneasily around his watch-fire. I do not think ever saw a moro intelligent and deter mined set of men. None seemed to h ovor torty-fivo years of ago, and the greater portion under thirty. A goo. many of thorn had served in tho Surdin ian army in tho Crimea, and woro med als and decorations from Victor Enian uel. About twenty-five or thirty dark- skinned peasants with short muskets slung across their backs and revolvers in their bolts—filling ones mind with pictures of Italian brigands—were post ed about the peaks as sentries, or guar ded tho “tri-color flug”—tho flag of Ita ly—us it fluttered in tho breeze. As wo approached tho officers ull aroso and welcomed us iii the heartiest possiblo manner, i looked uiouiul for Garibaldi, oxpecting to rocognizo him from the pictures I had seen of him in the illustrated newspapers. But among all those'eovered with gold luce and de corations thoro wns not one I could sin gle out us tho giont patriot. While standing conversing with a group of colonels and majors, wc saw , approach ing us two officors; the one abend in u Major’s uniform and his loft breast cov ered with medals; tho other, following immediately behind, was dressed m a red fhiuncl|-diirt, without collar or ern- a common wool hut considerably " r kj uc uu jf orni p an t„ light and considerably sprinkled with gray, though' ho his lmrcfly reached the prirno of Bfo, Tho most romarkablo feature about him is eye, black nnd handsome. While in repose it 1ms a soft dreamy look, belonging rather to a poet, pnintor or scholar than to nn In domitable man .of action. But when under excitement the pupil contracts, It brightens und becomes keen, nuict and flashing. Thoro is nothing of tho “swaggering filibuster” about him; his manner is easy, familiar, und modest, lie is exceedingly lempornto in his hab its, and rarely ovor tak^s even a gloss of wine, lie excused his appearanco ns he hail boon on Ills feet and In the siiddlo for moro than a week. Hospoko with pleasuro of his residence ill New York as a candle merchant, said his Warmest friends were Americans, and mentioned a present Uni. Colt had sent him some time ago id one hundred re volvers, which he regretted having left by mistake at Genoa, liowaa in high Mpirits, nnd seemed not to have a doubt but that he would succeed in rescuing Sicily from tho grasp of tho King of Naples. I expressed my surprise at not seeing him surrounded by more soldiers.— “Appearances are sometime deceiving,’ ho laughingly replied; “my soldiers aro mostly peasants, who fight as your fore fathers did—for freedom. You see nono hero now; they are concealed in the mountains around us. A single notoof tho Imgle will nssemhlo two thousand well armed resolute men.” After inviting us to dino with him, he excused himself until dinner was ready to hold a consultation with two or three officers of tho rebels, who hud just arri ved in disguise from Palermo. Wo dined in tho shade of an olive tree, tho music of whoso loaves, agita ted by a delightful sea-breeze, was in perfect harmony with tho sceno around us. Tho very cssenco of romanco seemed poured around tho spot. The man—probably tho greatest living patriot—and the noble yet desperate oauso in which ho is engaged guvo to tho meal a peculiar relish. No delica cies were spread before us. A horse blanket that had mado several charges, judging from its appearance,was spread out on tho grass, and served ns a cloth : while knap-sacks, pack-saddles, and ammunition boxes supplied us with seats. Wo had ryo-broad, boiled mut ton, cut up into square pieces weighing nearly n pound, in a largo enrthonwsro vessel about the sizo nnd slmpo of a half bushol measure, and a basket of uselous cherries. When askod to help myself I was at a considerable loss to know how to pro ceed, for neither knives, forks or plates oro to bo seen, when our distinguish- 1 host set tho example by taking a ieco of meat in one linnd nnd a linlf- loufof bread in tho other. A skin of Murselu wino was brought by a peasant which wo drank out of battered tin pots. Wo were disturbed onco while eating by the booming of heavy guns some dis tance oft*, which quickly brought us to our feet, but they proved to bo a snluto ‘irod by ono of the vessels of war in tho harbor. After dinner Garibaldi tetirod to his tent to write a letter to his friends at Nice, which ho wanted us to muil for him. Wo tumbled over on .tho grass, smoked “Cavour” cigars, laughed and talked with the officers, and utmost re gretted that n previous engagement with “Uncle Sain 1 ’ prevented us from joining tho party. When rowdy to start back an officer got in thocarringo with us to pass us through tho robol lines. Wo ronchod Palermo about five o’clock. Tho Result according to our Calcu lation* We cannot tako up a ilowspnpcf thoso days without seeing calculations as to tho result of tho approaching Presidential election, based upon data which are sure ntld undisputed. Each ono is confidout that “his man” will no the man, nnd gives tho reasons for his belief.. Figures, it is said,- cannot lio; nnd toconvlnco their readers that thoro is no room to doubt tho truth of their assertions, an array of figures is para ded that would stagger tho most skop tleal.

According to theso calculations, all tho candidates will ho elected, and on tho 4th of March next, wo will havo four Presidents inaugurated. This cortninly will he a bud stato of affairs, and tho consequences cunnot bo woll estimated. It takes $80,000,000 to support ono ad ministration, nnd,wo suppose, $320,000,- 000 will bo required for tho four. This wo would avoid if possible, but figures cannot lie, although they soom to con* trndict each other in several instances, above. Wo can’t help it.

The Origin ol “Ilail Columbia*'* In tho “Recollections of Washing ton,” just published, occurs the follow ing unecdoto: “Tho song of Hail Columbia, adopted in measure to tho President’s March, was written by Joseph Ilopkiusou, of Philadelphia, 1798. At that timo war with Franco was oxpeoted, and pa triotism pervaded tho community. Mr. Fox, a young singer und actor, called upon Mr. Uopkimon ono morning, and said : “To-morrow evening is appointed for my benefit at tho theatre. Not a single box has boon taken, nml I fear there will bo a thin houso. If you will write mo somo patriotic vorses cm tho tune of tho President's March, I feel sure of n full house. Several people about tho thentru havo attempted it, but tlioy havo come to the conclusion that it cannot ho done. Yet I think you may succocd.” Mr. II. retired to his study, wroto ^ the first verse and chorus, and submitted them to Mrs. II., who sung them ton harpsichord iiccotn- imminent. Tho time und the words harmonized. The song was soon finish ed, and that evening tho young actor received it. The next morning tin* placards announced that Mr. Fox would givo a new patriotic song. I he house was crowded—the song was sung tho uudionco was delighted—eight times was it culled for and repeated.> when sung tho ninth time the whole audience stood up and joined in th chorus. Night attor night 'Ilail Co lumbia’ was unplauded in tho theatre ; and in n few days it \v »s tlm universal song of the boys incur streets. Such was tho origin of our national song, ‘Hail Columbia.’ ” LATER FROM EUROPE. Arrival of the ARABIA. Halifax, July 10.—Tho British and North American Royal Mail steamship Arabia, Capt. J.

IIis proposition seems to meet with favor from both hides. His influence arises from tho fact that ho is not pledged to either, hut desires to secure the Stato to tho Democracy. If, howevor, thoso pacific counsels shall not prevail, and the administration does not throw it self into tho fight, tho probability is that Mayor Wood will go with the pop ular sontimont of the State, which ho thinks in favor of Douglas, It is un derstood that the administration aro in cnmicU to-day upon this very subject.— The impression is that they will throw tlieir whole power in favor of Breckenridgo and Lane. If so, evory office holder will have to show his hand or his head will drop into thebaskot. — A word to tho wise, &c.—N. Y. Her ald, 27 th, Geo. & Ala. Railroad.

[triw*w2w ROME STEAM ENGINE WON John Bell on Slavery.—Wo havo already copied sovoral extracts from Mr. Bell’s spooclios and writings to show that tlicro is no doubt as to his soundness upon this question of vital interest to us in this section, and hero is another. Lot our Democratic friends read it nnd decide for themselves if they urc satisfied with his position: I would not have the South truckle or surrender any of their rights. I would not have tlicni yield' ono jot or tittle of their rights ; but I would have thorn mako no questionable issues i: advance, stir-up no strife upon unnec essary, abstract questions, having no practical value, but to do always what is right upon all questions. Whon a people or territory applies for admis sion into the Union under a Constitu tion fairly formed, with the nssont of the people, excluding slavery, I would admit it promptly; and when afi ap plication comes, on tho other hand, <rom people of a Territory who have fairly formed n Constitution recognizing slavery, I would insist upon its admission as a State. J f tho $s T orth should not agree to this, it, would bo timo enough to con- s.dor tho r° m c<ty.—[Jolm jJell, 18th Moron, 1850, Ail Old Case Decided. Tho case of tho heirs of 'A. B. llargrovo, deceased, vs. Alfred Shorter, which has been on tho docket in Floyd Superior Court, for a number of years, nnd invol ving property to a large amount, has, af. tor consuming two days in its trial, boon decided by a verdict in favor of tho plaintiffs. They recovered one hundred acres in Hillsboro, the two bridges over tho Oos- tanaula and Etowah rivers, sixty-nine town lots, forty acres of bottom land across tho Etowah river, and mesne profits to the amount of $25,000. Tho property is valued at about $200,000. The speoobes of Col. W. Akin, Hon A. It. Wright, and Hon. J. W. II, Un dorwood, wero considered among tlieir ablest efforts. A motion will be made for anew trial, and if refused, the case will bo carried to the Supreme Court. Tub Newly Elected Professors.— Messrs.

With little trouble ho caught it, and upon examination found that it had no eyes. There was no sign to in dicate that it ovor had oyes. Tho points where tho eyes should havo been woro grown over with feathers. Mr. Guthrie has caged the bird, nnd intends retain ing it ns a pet. BSyThe saying so often quoted, “tho schoolmaster is abroad,” originated, with Lord Brougham. In ono of his spooclios it is thus introduced: ' Lot the soldier bo abroad if ho will, ho can do nothing in this ngo. There is another per son ago abroad—a person loss imposing iu the oyes of bohio, per haps insignificant—the schoolmaster is abroad 1 and I trust to him, nnnod with his primer, against tho soldier in full military array.” Douglas in the South.—But three journals support Douglas in Alabama and two in Georgia. As yet, not one in South Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas and Florida, has de clared for him. Thoro are two in Ton* nessflo, and ono in Kentucky.
