Constitutional Union nominations.
FOR PRESIDENT,.
jonnsr BELL,
OF TEN N Ebb EE.
VICE-PRESIDENT.
EDWARD EVERETT,
OF MA8SACIIUMETTM.
The Mptlt at Mllledgevllle.
Elaewbcta wt copy the liat of delegatea
to Ballimc.e appointed by (bo withdrawing
or -Nation*!” wing of tb# Democracy at
M> Hedge* tile. Tho regular or Becedera’
Convention re-appointed the old delegate*
who went to Cburleeton and who there
retired from the aama body to which they
arc now #ent back. They go with inalruc-
liona to atop at Richmond for conaultation,
and lo demand at Baltimore a platform
aimilar lo that which waa rejected at
Charloatvn ; and failing to get it, to aeceda
again.
We confraa that wa cannot appreciate
the ••triumph” which the Becedera achieve
by tbia courae. The Convention to which
they retorn haa not been in the laaat impro
ved in ita compoeition ainca their aaceaaion
at Cbarlaaton; it haa propoeed no new
term*, and baa given no aaaoranco what
ever that it will abandon now what It ao
reaolutaly inaieted on aii weak* ago. The
Baceaaioniata have, in their apparent ami-
aly to gat back, gone beyond the call under
which tbay aaaembled in Htate Convention •,
for that call (tme of ihtir own) only aum-
tnonrd them to tend delegatee lo Richmond.
We preauine that the immortal len adhesive
delegatea fr< m Georgia will fael particularly
core if they ehould be a aecond lime refuaed
re-admittance into the body from which
their Btala seceded at Charlaalon I
What Doc a It Meau t
Wa find iu the Montgomery Mail an
editorial call for a Btato Convention of tha
‘•Huto Kighta Opposition Parly” of Ala
bama, to be held in Montgomery on the
first Monday in Joly.
In view of all the attending circumstan
ce*, and of tha peculiar wording of tbia
call, we are induced to make an inquiry
auggesltcj by aotne of our Alabama friends.
We want lo know whether line rail includes
tba friend* of Urll and Etrrrit I In oilier
w irds, ia it intended to get up a demonstra
tion against them, under a apecioua call
wnicb, if understood, they are not likely to
heed} or do ihnee who make it intend lo
invite the whole Opposition parly of Ala-
bsma lo meal in council, intending in good
faith to abide by the action of the Con
vention Y
This inquiry i* raeential, because the
friends of Bell and Everett had alrrady
C illed a Hlate Convention to meet at Brltni
on the 27ih of June, to ratify the nornina
lions, aelect an Elrrlorol ticket, die. It ii
ea.enlisl, beesuae the Mail, which makea
th>* cull, t.as distinctly announced ita p
po«e not to attach itaelf lo any "national
party”; and the organization aupporting
Bell and Everett ia the only national party
yet formed, or likely lo be formed thia year.
It ia moreover easrntial, because the Mail,
in an editorial seconding this call, any* that
tha Conversion will be composed of politi
cians having "no entangling alliances with
a lftei'<il wing.” W« would think that it
alluded to the Ireoaoil delegate* from New
Yolk end Massachusetts to the Democratic
Contention, hut for ita sneer at Bell and
Ererelt'a “Northern friend*,” which we
noticed a abort lime etnee. We euapeci
that it mean* them, although it would he
P »*0U4 l» show *!••» « -I...I.. •*. ml lllt'IU,
in Convention at Baltimore, uttered a word
or gave n vote, to which any reasonable
Southern man could uliject.
The Mail aaya that ••Russell baa already
acted” in reference to its Convention. We
have never heard of any such ••action,” and
aak for further information. We are aware
that some gentlemen ol Russell have called
a roomy meeting of all the Opposition
party, to tako into consideration tho ques
tion of going into a Plato Convention at
M nlgnmery; hut we venture to predict
that they will never go there if it ia known
that ihe object ia lo make a demonstration
againat Ball and Everett, and if the true
Opposition aenllmeiit of Kuaaeil county it
erpreeaed.
GonS SriKRb.—The Petersburg Intelli-
fencer thinks that our pemocralic Inenda
are unlortonate. Tha various roorbacka
with which they have aought to couluse the
Union parly have all been exposed, much
to their annoyance. The New York Ex-
press ia nut giving the "cold shoulder" to
tha Union nominees. The Houston move
ment, from which they hoped ao much, has
Staled out, even in N. w York, where it waa
supposed to be a'ronKC®!, and Gov. Hunt
heartily supports Bell aud Everett. Then
tlure ia Millard Fillmore, who, instead of
supporting the Chicago nominees, would
make Mr. Bell President by hia vote; and
'finally Edward Everett, very much to the
chagrin of our diacouilitrd foes, writes a
letter to the Boston ratification mealing
accepting the Baltimore nomination t Thus
caily have ell the Democratic roorbacks been
ezplodrd, and tho last crumb of comfort
takan (torn them. What cornea next!
The Bplrlt of Douglas* Friends.
Oar people at the Heath have been so
much interested in the squabble* of the
8ece*siont*U and the Nationals here at
home, that tha movement* of the Democ
racy of tba North bate been almost over
looked. Indeed, there is no contest at tba
North to arrest attention—the friends of
Douglas appear to have everything tbeir
own way, and tho adherents of the Admin
istration do not appear to make isauo with
them. Unleaa the report* be true, that a
preconcerted deaertion of Douglas by the
New York delegation is to be consummated
at Baltimore, there is now no doubt that
Douglas will there he stronger than he was
it Charleston. Several Northern delegates,
who voted against him at Charleston, have
been so emphstically instructed to aupport
him at Baltimore, that they must either
obey or retire and give place to hia friends.
We clip from our papers by the latest mails
two instances of tbia kind :
Isanurrn,.—Solti Arnold Plumf-r and Fenator
Blood, d<-lcir»t«* from Pennsylvania, bare been
• strut-ted by their constituent* to vote lor Douflu
I Baltimore. At the Charleston Convention, Mr.
lamer was represented by his son. who, to t ether
1th Senator Blood, voted against Mr. Douglas.
[H'Uh.npO r, >tntn,mh.
ftTocasarooa, Mar W.—At a riming of the Demo-
*Uof the 11th Congressional District (of Massa
chusetts) held at Pittsfield t^-day. resolution* favor-
able to Douglas were unanimously passed. Both
delegates winnow vote for biro, which will be a gain
Them is very little doubt, we think, that
the anti-Douglas delegates from Delaware
have been instructed either to vote for him
at Baltimore or to resign. Wo notice, also,
strong Douglas manifestations in North
Carolina, and look for a gain of several
votes for him Bom that Htnte. Andrew
Johnson of Tenn., who received the vote
of hia own Btato at Charleston, haa since
been manifesting decided Douglas proclivi
ties, and we look for “something to turn
the effect of bia operations. Tlx
original friends of Douglas, in the mean
time, seem lo be very confident and deter-
ned. A* an evidence of their apirii, the
Chicago 'limes eatimatea that there will be
twenty thousand of them from Illinoia at
Baltimore, of whom Chicago will contribute
least on* thousand.
The violent opposition toward* Do uglai
manifested by eomo of our Southern aeccs
sionista—and which, perhaps, they intended
ly for home consumption—ia arouaing
retaliatory disposition among many of his
Northern friends. Forney’* throat that they
ill have “Douglaa or nobody” ia eliciting'
responsive echo from thousands of the
Northern friend* of the Lillie Giant. At a
•eiing of tho Douglas Club of Cincinnati,
few days ago, one of the speakers, Mr.
Gallagher, said that the Ohio delegates
should ait in their tests at Baltimore "until
Douglas in nominated, or until they nerd
new seats to their pantol one, and wo will
get them new cnee.” The report sayai
"Mr. (1 alia filter paid muni/ compliments lo
Lincoln, amd piurkKiiiD him to aky o» tiib
Mount ISM DANDIES WHO CIM'OHE DoUUbAH."
The Cincinnati Commercial adds that “all
the speakers except one appearrd to make
Lincoln their aecond choice.” It appear*,
then, that there is to he a mighty alampedi-
of Northern Democrat* if Douglas ia not
nominated ; they will break into the Black
Republican camp and rally around the
standard of Lincoln aa their second choice.
We are thankful that no such rrcruits
Uneaten to go over to Bell and Everett.
Mouth Carolina having resolved not to
•end delegatea to Baltimore, it would hardly
he fair to count her vote aguinst Douglas
at Baliimora, aa it was counted against him
at Charleston. Resuming the contest, then,
at Baltimore, with thia improvement of hia
prospects, Douglas, we begin to fear, will
command strength enough to procure the
nomination for himself, and thus "our man,”
lion. A, H. Btephcns, will not obtain tho
contingent honor for which wo had booked
him. If, however, Now York drop* Doug

him for any other cause, wo do not doubt
their concentration on Mtephene as their
aecond choice. One thing ia sure—no nun
Implicated in the opposition to Douglas can
obtain the nomination; he will be King or
Warwick.

Mr. ffell’e Rpeecb.
If there is yet among our readers a single
nan who has lent e believing ear to the
illy and ridiculous Democratic charges (bat
Johr Bin. is not a true man to the Mouth
and her peculiar institution, such a man
ill have all hi* doubta far removed by a
prrusal cf Mr. Bell’s speech on African
slavery which we publish to-day. We have
never read a raoro correct and mtfnly dc-
of slavery ae it exist# among us.
There is no whining apology for it—no
yielding admission that it is either a
moral” or "political evil,” for the exist-
nee of which this generation ia not
accountable; but Mr. Bell boldly defends
condition the best both for ibo slave
and the slaveholder. He connects with it,
ndissoluhly, the prosperity of the Mouth
aud of those numerous classes elsewbero
who make tbeir living by their connection
with Moutbern products. And he claims
for it the right of expansion end the con
stitutional guaranty of prolection,- expres
sing the opinion that its beat assurance of
fety is to be found in a constitutional
nion, but declaring that he prefers disun
ion lo aggression, or even lo s continued
J bopeleaa state of insecurity and appre
hension.
■sk the rreder of thia speech, ia
there the remotest probability that any
other national party in this country will
nominate or support a candidate entertain
ing as correct and truly Moutbern views on
the slavery question a* John Bell therein
proclaims 1 When have they ever done so !

Thu Massachusetts Cattle Disease.
Thia distemper is causing the greatest
alarm and vigilance in Massachusetts and
portions of New Hampshire and Connecti
cut. Tho last session of the Legislature of
Massachusetts appointed a hoard of com
missioners to investigate the causes aud
extent of the diacasc, and to adopt meas
ures for its extirpation, appropriating $20,-
000 to pay for cattle which they might
think proper to kill in the prosecution of
this object. We have been reading tho
lengthy report made by thrao commissioners,
and from it learn most of tho following facts
The disease resembles consumption of tin
lunga in human beings. In some casra
examined by the commissioners, tho lung
wero almost entirely destroyed; in others
the early stago of the disease in animals
killed by them waa indicated by unly
partial ulceration ; and in n solitary cai
there were uninistakahlo indications that
nature had overcom* the disease, and that
thu tUiuml was recovering when killed.
['he disease waa introduced into this
ntry last year from Holland—i
rolled by a Massachusetts man being tho
ilium; and to thia case all others, how-
r distant, have been traced. The great
dilliculty in arresting it seema to he the
ignorance of ita presence until its victim
hns long been sfilictrd and has probably
communicated it to many other cattle. The
commissioners had proof tending lo allow
that it could bo communicated at the dis
tance of twenty fuel between a diseased
and a healthy animal. It ia known that
entile that were herded with other# which
have ainoo died of the distemper have been
sold or travelled to places far distant, and
thia increases tho general apprehension.
In Hollnnd and other parts of Europe, it
ia said, this terrible disease always exist*
among tho cattle; hut such ia tho vigilance
of owners, and ao vlloclivo thu precautions
of olficiala who have the matter in charge,
that a general diffusion of it is prevented.
It would ho very difficult to institute and
euforce such regulation* in thia country.
Tho $20,1)1)0 appropriated haa hern
exhausted in paying for cattle slaughtered
(lirasIY all of which ware found to Ha <li*
cased), aud tha commissioners are satisfied
that tbeir work is only begun. Most of the
cattle Imvo been killed, no; becauso of any
positive manifestation of the distemper, but
becauso of their known association with
otln-r cattle that hud Ihe disease; and the
examination generally proved that its pros-
rnco was correctly inferred from this
tact. Thia, aa will readily he understood,
is one of tho greatest causes of alarm.
Apprehensions are entertained that it will
spread from neighborhood lo neighborhood,
and from Mtuto to Mtato, until it exteuda
throughout tho whole country. Tho Gov
ernor of Massachusetts has therefore called
an extra session of tho Legislature) to take
tho question into consideration, and the
subject assumes general importance
interest.
BF* Gen. Houston has written a letter
stating that hia name was placed before the
Baltimore Union Convention without hia
consent. Ho ia willing to he a candidate
for President only on condition that ho bu
taken up by the people, without regard to
party or party convention*. \J'o observe,
also, that tho Now York meeting which
sustained hia claiuia waa of a very mixed
character, ami tho probability is that there
were not one hundred aincer* Houston men
in the crowd. The report says that "the
tone of thu meeting waa decidedly liberal,
cherra being given not only lor Gen. Houa-
ton^t ut for Meward, Lincoln and Daugla*.”
Wo are thankful that such an assemblage
did not cheer Bell and Everett. That would
have been rather loo "liberal."

of property can he destroyed or impaired
[in the Territories] by Congreosional or
Territorial legislation.” The only question
that arises to create a difference of opinion,
s we have said heretofore, is, What i#
property” in the Territories ? Mr. Hitt,
1 hie admirable speech which we published
n Thursday morning, maintains that tho
provisions of the constitution of the United
State* "amount to an express recognition of
slavery" i that "the constitution, proprio
vigor c, protects the citizen in tho enjoy-
nt of his rights of property of every
description, recognized ae such in any of
the Mtati-s, on every sea and in every Terri
tory of the Union.” Mark the import of
ibis comprehensive declaration: Whalevir
is property in any Mute, by the law# thereof,
the Federal constitution recognize# and pro
tects as properly in every Tertiiory, and in
ali other place# over which it has any juris
diction. Many of our citizens, a short lime
since, heard Judge Uexnikq elaborate aud
illustrate tbia sound proposition in a moat
lucid anJ convincing argument—fur which,
at the time, we took occasion to return him
thanks on behalf of the friends of John
Bell. It is the true and aafe doctrine of
the Mouth* and the maintenance of
tho one hand and ihe denial of it r
other mark the line of distinction between
u conservative constitutional man and
radical freesoiler, so clearly that no on" c
misunderstand their rrspec ivu positions.

Athens and republican Rome. I have seen,

successors, adopted and continued lo uphold
the same institution, uuder various modi

Mr. Everett’s Letter of Acceptance.
Mr. Jfunt to lion. Edward Everett.
Baltimore, Mat 11, I860.
Dear Sir: It haa became my agreeable
duty, as ike presiding officer ot ihe Nation
al Union Convention, which terminated its
aesaiou in thia eily last evening, to inform
you that you have received tnu nomination
ot that body as its candidate lor the office ol
Vice President ot the United States.
Il would be fur beyond my power to con
vey to you an adequate impression ol the
intense ardor and enthusiasm with which die
nomination waa made. Without the lor.
ballot, your name was on every
State afterMtste
(he privilege of rendering io you ita tribute
of affectionate homage and admiration.
The high estimate ol your valuable pub
lic services entertained by the whole coun
try, and the universal gratitude excited by
your voluntary efforts aa a private citizen
to imbue the minds of your countrymen
with feelings of love and veneration lor the
character ol Washington, and reaped lor
hia example and teachings, were rctlecied
by die Conveniion in a manner at once im
pressive, appropriate, and gratifying.
It wa* believed, moreover, that the asso
ciation of your name with that of John
Boll, as candidates f< r the highest offices in
die aid ol the nation, would of itself con
stitute an irresistible appeal to the patriot
ism, loyalty, and national spuu ot the whale
American people.
In ibis season of discord and distraction,

an earnest effort to revive eeniimenta ol
' armony and brotherhood bet^^H
