JEFFERS,} Ch “' U, *Ui C. September 7,—ly. John Bell’s Record'on Slavery. In a former number, we offered some reflections upon the sutyect ofplatforjns^ showing the thie meaning of fho term, and maintaining that'for all practical jurpoee the nominee of the Union par- by stood pledged to the country, ill tho event of nis election, to administer the oyerhmeht upon a fine of policy that as already been specially and distinct ly marked out—that he is as truly .up on a platform, and as much, bdftnd to observe its principles; as any candidate that has ever been presented to the American people, The record of his public service, we contended, was his S lntform, and his letter of acceptance istinctly pledged him to adhere to it in all the contingencies of the future. In the conclusion of the article refer red to, we promised, on another day, to examine the record as it stands upon the journals of Congress, and to array the truth against certain slanders that have been vaguely and without specifi cation, uttered against Mr. Bell by the subservient tools of his policical enemies. We proposed to test his fidelity to south ern institutions bv a rehearsal of bis acts, and by them to let the people judge whether or not he is entitled to their oonfidenco and support. 1 t|.vere impossible, in the short space of an editorol article, to review tne en tire record of Mr. Bell on the subject of slavery, running, as it does, through a long series of years. We would state generally, however, and without the slightest hesitation, that his • enemies cannot point to a single vote in all that record that is hostile to the inter ests of his section* Wo challenge them to the task. Ko man, North or South, lias a better, purer record. Why, then, lias ho been suspected and denounced as unsound, ana not to be trusted! We will give the reason in a few words: simply because it has been the policy of of the Democratic party of the South, for many year past, to set up.j. standard of their own, by which all men are to be judged for the time being, ftnd to be applauded or denounced according as they conform to such arbitrary test.— Clay, Taylor. Toombs, Stephens and a host of others, Southern men and slave holders, were all unsound in their day, simply for the reason that they repudi ated this standard and bad the iudep« dence to think for themselves. In 1854 the Kansas bill was set up as a stand ard by this same party, and because Mr. Bell ropudiatedjand voted against it as an insiduous swindle a Grecian Horse that contained within itself tffematerr nls for the overthrow of the rights the South, he was straightway set down os untrue to hisseotion and for no oth er cause the blood hounds of party have pursued liis footsteeps from that day to this. This is the true history of the case, and the cry is stilt kept up in spite of the fact that this very Kansas bill lias proved just what Mr. Bell said it was, and is now universally denounc ed throughout the South by the Dcmor cats themselves: nay, rather than sub mit to its doctrines, the Southern De mocracy have absolutely abandoned] thoir own national organization and set| up for tliemselve As to the rest of Mr. Bell’s course i: Congress, on the slavery question, -w cannot do better than copy from able artiole, which wo find in the Goorgir Citizen, over the signature “Lowndes.” It is in Answer to an allegar tion of the Telegraph, that Mr. Bell had always “been regarded with peculiar suspicion by Soutnern Bights men.”— Tho writer says: “Was John Bell regarded with ‘pecu liar suspicion’ by Southern men when he in 1835 voted with Glascock, of Georgia for which vote Glascock received forty two of sixty-two thousand votes in “ la? Was it for that, Mr. Clisby, yo> nd fault with John Bell? Was Join Bell ’regarded with peculiar suspicion, when he stood by Georgia in the T tial contest of 1836, ana aided in ingthe vote of Tennessee with Georgia foi Judge White’ against the Black ” of Kraderhook ? Did the Squth rei John Bell with ’peculiar suspicion,’ when he, in 1837, voted with a united South for Mr. Patton’s resolution ? Did the South regard John Bell with ‘peculiar suspicion’ when he, in 1838, voted for the Atherton.'resolution which was held in Georgia as - Southern Democratic d6o-| trine, then? Did the Sonth r< John Bell With 'peculiar suspii when he; in 1845, voted against Wilmet ProvUo as offered T>y Missouri] line to the Pacific, and then, afterwards. Voted for the Ciayton Compromise ini 1848? When he voted nve distinct times against the Wiimot ProvUo, and Stephen A. Douglas, as many timM, for the Wiimot ProvUo in 1850? Did'the South regard John Bell with nnaninmn* whan ATI ttlA Aft.ll nl suspicion* when on the. 6th of June, 1 50, he said the 'Constitution carried | slavery in the Territories and there; tected it as other nropcrttL and that—“■— er the dag floated whether on or sea,.H was entitled to protetion Croml tho Government? Did the South re*I gard Jphn Bell with’peouliar suspicion* r when be in 1850, voted for Cpl. Jeffei ponDwis’resolutions? DidthoSoutJ regard John Belltwith •peculiar suspi. oicnf whenhe voted for .the New Mexi-1 ca bill, and thereby excluded the Te!*| egrapa’s dootrine of SquatterSo vereigt ty from tho Territories ? Did the Bout slave law and against abolishing slave trade in the district of Or “ Douglas voted against the first ed for the last. I either the ignd Telegra ' ' In 1854, spoke and voted against that ’wretched.and cursed thingofuncertain- toesand umn^ing generalities’—the Kansas btll-the We bill Jefferson Davis repudiated, on the Mnv 1860—the same hill Henry A. Virginia repudiates—the same'bill i Telegraph, that the oeoeders at Charli ton . repudiated—the same bill repudk ed by Gov. Cobb and his friends in Geor gia, and still advocated and defendechby the Telegraph, Judge Douglas and Lis friends in Georgia! I think the South ought to regard John Bell withpeculiar gratitodc for opposing in 1854, a thing (the Kansas bill! repudiated by * most of its leading friends m 18601” Suobi now wo South, whetherth to do at least enven-handed justic to a great man and faithful pvblic ser vant. —Savannah Rep. T ‘ Few Bell and Everett. Among the more prominent journals that have deolared for the nominations made in Balthnore, we may name that veteran newspaper, the Washington Na tionalIntelligencer. In its bsueef the Othinst., alluding to the letter of acceptance written by Mr. Bell, the Intelligencer takes occa sion to soy what follows: < ' Having already stated some of the groundBon which we shall give to thU cause and its candidates our hearty and unhesitating support we have only to add, for the present, that we shall (Kke an early occasion to define with more particularity the nature of its claims npon the confidence of our countrymen as in the approaching canvass. we shall doubtless find frequent occasion to en force them. When the'present chaotio state ofthe politioaldementsshall bave assumed a definite form in the several programmes announced by each and all of the parties competing for tho supre macy, it will be easy to Institute a com parison between their respective pre tensions for the supp&t of the people. And we therefore propose at .an* early day, in such a review of'“parties ana their principles,” to subjeot the avowed motives, policy, and objects of each to a candid analysis, assured as ivo, are .that the cause which we advocate has noth ing to fear, but much to hope, from any appeal addressed to tho impartial judg ment of the people, era Dew ‘peculiar suzpioioa
