We invite the attention of all our reader) to !
the letter* to be found below. It completely ei-j
fences the batteriee of John Bell's slanderers in :
the south. It is only necessary to state that CoL ;
Watts is a leading member of tbe Opposition par- i
ty of Alabama, who has heretofore declined to :
take any part in tbe presidential contest.
Let every voter in the south read the proposition* ,
laid down by Mr. Watts as clearly deductible from j
the record of 001. Bell as furnished by himself, !
and after th s let no man dare to Buy that car can
didate is without a platform, or that his platform is
unfriendly to the South;
Montgomery, Ala., July SO, 1860.
To Darnel Sayre, Esq. Editor of the Poet :
Dear Sir:—lt it known to many persons in this
Ketios of the State, that somt'ace since I address
ed a letter of inquiry to the Hoc. John Bell, par
ticularly, as to hts endorsement of the American
and Wtig platform of February, 1854. On last
Saturday I received bis reply ; with which, and as
a part thereof, he sends me extracts from his
speeches and references to hi* votes, teaching tho
subjects of inquiry, thus reannocodcg the opin
ions expressed and indicated by thoe speeches
and votes:
Mr. Bell thus distinctly announces, lor my j udg
ment, tbe folio-ting propositions :
1. A distinct repudiation of Wi!mot Provl-o
ins.
2. A distinct repudiation of “squatter sovereign
ty' 1 as long ago as 1818.
3. A distinct announcement that the Territories
are the common property of tbe State composing
the Union; and that tbe citizens of each State
have the right to go into such Territories, with
their property of every description, and whilst
there, to have protection to property and persons.
4. That slavery,as it exists amongst us, is civilly,
morally, and religiously, right; sanctioned bv the
Constitution of tbe United States, by the Bible,
and by tbe practice of men in all ages ; and that it
ought to be extended.
The record of Mr. Bell running throagb a pe
riod of more than a quarter of a century, gives
tbe strongest assurance of his fidelity to the insti
tutions of tbe South, the land of bis birth ; and of
Lis love to the Constitution and Union of our
fathers.
These opinions of Mr. Bell, so long entertained
and acted on in pnblic life, afford to u§ of tbe
Mouth a stronger guaranty against wrong than the
sodden announcements of eleventh hour con
verts.
I am on the eve of leaving for Teias on private
business of importance, and have no time now to
elaborate.
Vety, respectfully,
TilOJlx* H. Waits.
LITTER THOU MB. BELL.
Nashville, July 22,1860.
Dear Sir:—Tour letter of the Bth instant was
received ten days since, and it is due to you, ae
well as myself, to state the causes which have de
layed my answer to this late day, to explain what,
otherwise might be imputed to tue as a discourte
sy. Such a statement is due to numerous other
gentlemen, who, in tbe iast month or aix weeks,
have addressed letters of inquiry to me from dif
ferent quarters of the country, as to my views,
and opinions on the more prominent questions at
issue in the pending canvass, and which have re
ceived no answer.
To tbe inquiries in all such letters, there was
but one reply, as I conceived, which could, con
sistently and properly, be made, under the circum
stances ot my political position ; which was, to
refer the writers to my past course ; to tbe views
and opinion* I have heretofore held and expressed
eu the subjects or questions embraced in their let
ters. But it appeared to me that a reply, contain
ing nothing more than such a general reference,
without pointing out tbe particular rote 9, speeches,
and other evidences of what I had said or done in
connection with the questions made the subjects
of inquiry, or stating where they were to be found,
would be’ ungracious, to say the least of it. To
snake such references in my answers would iar ex
ceed the ordinary limits of a letter, and I conclu
ded that it wouid be more convenient and satisfac
tory to both parties, to accompany my answers
with a printed collection of such of my speeches
and letters as have a direct bearing upon the sub
jects of controversy ; or of such copious extracts
therefrom, as to leave nothing to be supplied by
futtber quotations from them. The preparation of
ftuch a compilation was immediately commenced,
by a member of the Central Union Committee of
Tennessee. It is now completed, and i transmit
herewith, a copy of it, printed in tbe “ National
Union.” It was issued from the prc&s a week la
ter than was anticipated by me, and hence my an
swer to your letter, as wed as to others, has been
delayed a week beyond the time I had pvposed
to myself to answer them.
For the reasons which impel me to decline any
further answer to the inquiries in your letter, I re
fer you to the fir't and second pages of the “ Na
tional Union.” You will observe that the ground
there taken is, that it would be inconsistent with
the declared views of the Convention which placed
me in tbe position I now occupy before the public,
to make any new declaration of principles. But 1
do not choose to shelter myself under the authority
of the nominating convention against any re
proach I may incur la consequence of the course
i bare thought it my duty to pursue in relation to
this subject. Had 1 been a member of tbe con
ventiou, I would have resisted the adoption of any
platform, or other declaration of principles, not
embraced or implied in tbe three fundamental
propositions or objects intended to be maintained
and secured by the National Union Party, mod
which constitute the basis of its organization : “Tbe
Constitution, Tbe Union, and the Enforcement of
the Laws.” Tbe great aim of the National Union
Party is, to restore peace, with justice to both sec
tions of the Union— not to perpetuate strife.
Whatever may be the policy or designs of oth
ers, North and South, who, in their letters have in
sisted upon their right, as a matter of principle to
oail upoa me to declare my views and opinions up
on aav or all of the questions which have become
the subject of controversy in the present esnvasa,
and contend that 1 cannot refuse compliance with
their demands without a violation ol tbe obligation
they assume to exist on my part as a candidate for
public place, I have no distrust of your sincerity
and good faith in making tbe earnest appeals to
me, which you do in jour letter, to take a course,
which 1 hope you will, upon reflection, perceive
would not be in conformity with tbe intentions and
expectation* of those who chose me to be their
leader, and the representative of their policy and
principle* ; nor do 1 doubt your sincere desire to
support tbe Union Ticket, if you can do so consis
tently with your sense of public duty. It is, there
fore, with deep regret, that I find myself con
strained to diftsr with voa in any of your views,
and most of all to have to say to yon, that I can
not go beyond the record of my political life, in
responding to the questions presented in your let
ter.
If in the anthentic exposition of my course upon
the subject of slavery, running through a period of
twenty five years, jou can find nothing to inspire
you with confidence that, in the event of mv elec
tion, I would so employ tbe power and influence of
the Executive Department of the Government, ns
to give no just ground of complaint to the South,
or any other section of the Union, while I would
regret* the lo*a of your support and that of your
fri> nds, I could not reasonably expect to receive it.
You are at liberty to make any use of this letter
you may think proper.
I am,* with great respect and the most friendly
regard,
Your obedient servant.

Forgery and Tragical Death.
Yesterdav morning a young man wbo gave hi*
name a* John Slay, apparently twenty-two or
three years of age called at the Marine Bank Agen
cy in tbiacity, and inquired of Mr. Bowers, the
Agent, if he paid the orders of Col. R. L. Mott
there, which waa answered in the affirmative. Sub
sequently be presented an order for $2,000 which
purported to be signed by Col. Mott, and which
the young man ssid was given to his father, (who
he said lives near Atlanta) for corn, purchased by
Col. Mott. The Order was dated July 25tb. Mr.
Bowers perceived that the order was a forgery,
and proposed to tbe young man to go with him to
tbe Palace Mill* and *e Mr. J. H. Mullord, a son
in-Uw of Col. Moit, to which he consented. As
soon at Mr. Mulford saw the order he immediately
pronounced it a forgery, being perfectly familiar
with Cos!, MottV hard-writing.
Mr. Bowers (lien proposed to return to the bank,
to which the young man and Mr. Muiford assented,
and teaching ihq corner occupied by Mr. 11. P.
Spender's dwelling, tho young man turned to the
right, and soon commenced running, and attempt
ed to escape by swimmiug across the river above
wie bridge. He tad not proceeded far,before he was
overpowered by the current and drowned. Efforts
are being made io recover his body, but up to this
time without success.
We are informed that his real name is Adair, and
that his father lives in Greenville, in this State.—

Mr. Kverett’a Statesmanship.
If the reader of political history dc*ire9 any evi
dence of the practical statesmanship and transcen
dar.t ability of Mr. Everett, he may find a ia bis
celebrated letter on the proposed Tripartite Treaty
which was urged upon this Government on tbe pan
of England uy Lord Malmesbury, on the part of
France M. do Turgot, and on the part of Spain,
which Govei ament,though quiet, urged all the sec
ond-hand influence possible to secure the adoption
of the English A French treaty by tho Government
of the United States. When, under Mr. Fillmore's
Ad mi narration, Spain became fearful about her
peacefni possession of the. Island of Cuba, and the
Govern menu ot France and England shared in that
uneasiness, the latter governments were inclined to
propose to the United States a Tripartite Treaty,
agreeing not only that neither of said governments
would ever acquire Cuba, for it self, but the three to
gether guaranting it* peaceful and perpetual poa.
session to Spain. This pioporition was submitted
by the French and British Ministers,(the Count de
Sartiges and Mr. Champion), in separate, but simi
lar letters, to|the government of the United Elates,
each dated on the zJdof April, 1852. April 291 h,
Mr. Webster acknowledged tbe receipt of the pro
posed treaty, and promised it a respectful and ma
ture consideration. Two months having nearly
elapsed without response,on the Bth of July the
Freuch and British Ministers addressed Mr. Web
ster, in separate, but similar letters, urgently reques
ting an answer to the proposition of our Govern,
/runt. Before an answer could be given, Mr. Web
ster died ; and he was succeeded by Mr. Everett, as
Secretary of State.
Taking up this great subject, and duly estima
ting its importance, Mr. Everett disposed of it, in
a fetter dated Dec. Ist, 1852. The publication of
the fetter leaves no occasion to pass eulogy upon
ir. Upon its appearance it was received with gen
eral if not universal admiration and approval.
The Democratic Review hailed it as the best paper
that ever appeared from the State Department.—
And Senator Douglas declared that “If Everett had
done nothing else to render his administration of
the State Department illustrious, his name would
live in all coming lime, iu that diplomatic fetter, a?
one who could appreciate the spirit of the age, and
perceive tbe destiny of the nation.”
This letter in reply to Malmesbury and Turgot was
written eight yeara ago, but Mr. Everett’s Fourth
of July Oration lie fore the municipal authorities of
Boston, shows that he has not lost one particle of
that practical statesmanship displayed by him when
Minister to England, and when Secretary of State.
To place a man of so much purity of life and intel
lectual power at the bead of tbe Senate ot tbe Uni
ted States, and if not there, perhaps at tbe head of
tbe Government of the United States, is wotliy of
the labor and aspirations of all who desire for tl>
country peace at homeland a good name and noble
fame among the nations of the earth. — X. T. Ex

do not heaitato to express tbe opinion that, with
out disparagement to others, it has not yet been,
and will not be equalled, much less surpassed by
any speech of tbe canvas*. It seems to us to em
brace every essential poi.it and principle uow In is
sue between the several parties, which, for weal or
woe to our common country, baa to bo decided by
the next Presidential election. And the vital
character of tbe U*ue thus made up. Is presented
in a manner eo plain, simple aud direct, that no
one can fail to understand it, while the course
of duty ia urged upon tbe ooosefenoe and common
sense of every patriot with a force of argument
which we bold to be absolutely irresistible. Let

there, as be will, the concentrated strength of every

STATE ELECTIONS.
The election returns from North Carolina are
not complete. It is believed, however, that Ellis,

THE CRY OF WOLF ! WOLF !! J
The attempt to ptove all persons unsound upon
tbe slavery question, who do not belong to our
political party and subscribe to our creed, is as
unjust as it is impolitic. It only generate* bitter
ness of feeling where good will should reign. It
is a singular and mortifying fact, that the cry of
wolf has been raised against every Presidential
candidate now before the people, including even
Mr. Bell, who is said to own some hundred or two
negroes, and therefore is not likely to jeepard his
own wool by runniog off his own slaves or playing
tbe wolf among his own domestics. The idea is
| too ahsurd to merit refutation. Nor do we sup
, pose that the election of Breckinridge or Doug
las (a thing improbable) would appreciate largely
the stork or swell the dividcruis of the under
ground railroad —though we learn from democratic
sources that one is an emancipationist and the
other a frcesoiler.
And hcre.it ntay be proper to remark, that wc
are not among those who have charged Mr. Breck
inridge with disloyalty to the South. Viewing
slavery in a purely economic light, there are thou
sands in the border States who, whilst they believe
that slavery is morally right, hold that with them
it Is less profitable that free labor, and feel but lit- :
tie interest therefore it perpetuating the ioetitu- ;
tion. Were Georgia a grazing and stock-raising,
instead of a cotton ami rice growing State, the
same feeling of indifference would exist. The
Kentuckian and Missourian find it more profitable
to sell their slaves to Georgia at fifteen hundred
dollars per head than keep them the year round,
when they can find day iaborers at their door,
whom they may have at their option. For this
condition of tilings the codon State* are largely
responsible. Iljid they permanently interdicted
the introduction of alaves for sale from the border
State*, they would have removed at least one
strong temptation to emancipation. Upon this
question we suppose Mr. Breckinridge and other
Kentuckians, like Georgians, consult their own in
terests, as they have the right to do. Such an
objection, if well-founded, would be a very frivo
lous one to urge against a Presidential candidate.
Our objection to Breckinridge and Douglas is of a
different and graver character. We believe they
have trifled with the peace and safety of the coun
try —that they are still engaged in the unhallowed
work of sectional agitation and strife, for party
end*, when the Republic i* on the very verge of
ruin. That their success would but perpetuate
discord ; whilst that of the Union candidates would
still the troubled water*, and give the country, iu
a liberal, eoncilliatory, yet strictly constitutional
administration, aeeiirity and repose.
SAVE YOUR FRUIT-
Tho prospect of a short crop of corn should
cause farmers to save, by drying, peaches and ap
ples in abundance. If more fruit and less meat
were consumed, it would bo much better for the
health of the people. Equally important is if to
secure, in hay, pea* and root-crops subsistence for
cows ; for a little cream renders much more
palatable your fruit and coffee. Besides, it is a
sin and shame to subject your stock to a six
months fast, when you do not abstain even once a
month.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN TALLAHASSEE.
From the Florida Sentinel we learn that a fire
originated in the printing office of the Floridian
<St Journal, at four o’clock, on Monday morning,
30th ult., completely destroying that office, with
all its contents, together with the dry goods store
of D. B. Maxwell ; the Grocery store of R. H.
Berry, and a building between them occupied as a
saloon. The fire was caused by an incendiary.—
The Proprietor* of the Floridian announce that
its publication will be resumed as soon as their ma
terial* can be replaced. They have our sympathy
in their calamitous loss.
THE IU7RAI DISTRICTS
Tho unanimity of Democrats in the interior
counties in support of Douglas aud Johnsoa, the
i regular nominees of the National Democracy, is
! unprecedented. Iu many eouuties there are really
no supporters of Breckinridge and Lane, the
whole party cordially uniting in favor of the regu
lar organization and its (candidates. In St. Law
rence county, a gentleman formerly coHapicuounly
known as a “ Hard,” recently written to by Mr.
Schell, for the names of two persous to act in be
half of a Breckinridge organization, was obliged
to answer that lie did not know of a single Breck
inridge man in that county. We are told the
same is true of Lewis county, and while in other
interior counties the Democrat* may not be unani
mously for Douglas, the sentiment among them iu
his favor, approaches very near to unanimity.
We copy the above from the Albany Ary us,
the metropolitan and leading organ of the New
York Democracy. What is true of New York, is
equally so of most of the northern and western
State*. The nomination of Breckinridge upon a
purely sectional issue by the seceders and (ire-eat
ers, has aroused the sectional pride of the north,
and we do not see how he can secure a solitary

ATTEMPT OF A SOUrHERNER TO COMMIT SUI
CIDE.
James A. Gardner, a young nmn from Macon,
Ga., who has been in the city some time, leading
a last file, last night attempted to commit suicide,
by jumping into the river at the foot of Jay street.
He was saved by the Harbor Police. Remorse for
past misconduct induced him to attempt the rash
act.— X. Y. Day Book.
Someone else of that name, somewhere about
Augu.-.ta, lias recently been engaged iu the attempt
to commit a somewhat similar felony—differing
from the above in that the deed is aimed at hi*
political , insterd of his natural life, and, also, in
that there will be no one to save him from his
doom. Alas ! alas ! The misconduct of men !
Columbus Times.
If remorse for past misdeeds—plunging the coun
try into trouble and peril—incites to self-destruc
tion, we may expect to witness a pretty general
exodus of democrat* from this sublunary sphere.

j AMERICAN POLITICS.
The present canvass opens with precedents
which fearfully illustrate die demoralization of ‘
American politics and the downward tendency of
AfffMean institutions. The chief magistrate of
this great Republic, in disregard of the example
of his illustrious predecessors, descends from his
high dignity and draggles his robes of office in the
sewer of party politics—vociferates to the noisy
rabble in the streets of the Federal metropolis,
the sophisms of the demagogue and the gibberish
of the harlequin.
Turning away from this mortifying spectacle,
we find Messrs. Douglas, Lane, and Johnson, on.
tering the canvass as competitors for the highest
offices in the GoveriHDeot. Secretary Cobb also
leaves his appropriate duties, to swell the tide of a
popular and pernicious party excitement, which
can have no other effect titan to alienate those
1 who should at this time boos one heart and one
mind.
And what is to come of all this ? Will not the
people pause and canvass well this question, be
fore they entrust their political fortunes with those
who would make them snd their politics merchan
dise ?
THE CAHVASB
Some weeks will elap?e before the canvass fully
opens. Parties are busily engaged in making up
electoral tickets. In some States mixed tickets
will be run. About the first proximo the whole
field will be before us. More titan ever, (if possible)
satisfied with our candidates and proud of their
dignified and statesmen-like bearfng, we shall
steadily but courteously urge their claims. Others,
equally patriotic and perhaps more sagacious than
ourselves, will support others. With such we have
|no quarrel—no words of reproach. We take it for
! granted that all intelligent men see the perils which
i environ ns. They may not all act together before
I the election. They should do nothing to prevent
I their doing so, if necessary, when the contest ia
i over. If we read accurately the signs of the times,
it will require all the wisdom and power of ml
the friends of the Union and Constitution to carry
the ship of Stale over the sectional breakers which
now threaten its wreck. There is safety in mode
ration.
M 2. COBB.
We observe that this gentleman is about to take
the stump in Georgia. This is very well. The fi
nancial condition of the Government —the public
debt—the little deficit of seven millions in the
Treasury estimates—the re-issue of treasury notes
to keep the Government on its legs—the recent
inability of Uncle Sam to pay his poor mail car
riers—the suspension of labor on the custom
house at Charleston, with nearly three hundred
thousand dollars worth of building materials on
hand to be guarded or damaged at the expense of
the people —the beautiful expositions of the investi
gating committee, together with Mr. Toombs
declaration that this is the most corrupt govern
ment on earth, and Mr. Stephen’s assertion in re
gard to the profligacy of its expenditures—upon
all these and many more edifying topics the dis
tinguished Secretary could doubtless throw much
light. The field i9 vast, let him enter it by all
means.
HON. T. H. CLAY,
A worthy son of a noble sire, thus closes a stir
ring letter which we find in the Louisville (Ky.)
Journal:
We have good and cheering news from all quar
ters. Missouri will throw off the yoke of Democ
racy. She baa no longer a Renton to pilot her
through this Scylla and Charybdis. The New Eng
land States are awakening from the drearn of sec
tionalism, and the guidance of incompetent politi
cians. Their true and conservative men are putt
ing on their old armor and will ndvanee to the
conflict with the glorious motto of the “ Union, the
CunsLltution, aud the Enforcement of the Laws”
emblazoned on their shields.
The limits of a letter will not allow me to give
the many and strong reasons I entertain for believ
ing in the success of this great Union movement
in the election of November next.
Very truly, your friend,
THOS. 11. CLAY.
A DOUGLAB ORGAN IN RICHMOND. VA-
The Richmond Index, a paper conducted by an
experienced and intelligent Democratic editor,
Mr. B. M. DeWitt, has declared for Douglas.—
At the conclusion of a long article, it says:
We need not say to ihe readers of the Index—
what they all must know—that we are committed
by our whole past course to the support of Doug
las and Johnson. If the Convention that nomina
ted them was not entirely “ regular,” we cannot
see the consistency or the propriety of espousing
the cause of the men who made it irregular.
GEN. LANE IN GEORGIA.
The Marietta Statesman says that Gen. Lane has
promised to visit Georgia, at an early day in the
canvass, and will be at Marietta, as one of the first
points. He has authorized Col. Philips to make
publication of the fact.
We find the above in the Telegraph of yester
day. We were sorry to sec this—also,the nunounce
ment in another exchange, that Mr. Douglas would
also coine to the South. We hope Gov. Johnson
will be invited by our Marietta friends to meet the
gallant General. In the meantime we are glad to
know that the National Union Candidates have too
more respect for themselves and American free
men, than to become political hucksters.
DEATH OF REV. REDDICK PIERCE.
South Carolina papers report the death on the
24 th nit., at Orangeburg in that State, of Rev. Red
dick Pierce, an elder brother of Dr. L. Pierce of
this city. He entered the South Carolina Confer
in 1805, and was its oldest member at the time of
his death ; his age was 78. He was distinguished
as a cogent reasoner, and it is said that in some of
his mental characteristics he strongly resembled his
distinguished and able brother of this city.—Co
lumbus Enquirer.
“ I Know hs is Honest. ” —A friend informed
the Nashville Banner n day or two since that he
heard a veteran Democrat say to a Bell and Everett
man substantially : “ Sir tuy party is broken up
and its prestige destroyed. 1 see no hope for good
in the factions. I am for the Union and for my
country and I shall vote for John Bell —I /. note he
is honest Thousands of patriots all over the
country, who have heretofore voted the Democrat
ic ticket, will follow the example of this gentleman,
who has voted the the Democratic ticket for thirty
years.
From tlie New Fork Dispatch, October 1, 1859.
Something for Tit?; Ladies. — A new invention
has recently appeared, which, although useful to
every body, is specially claimed by the Ladies, as
being exactly suited to their wants and require
ments. They are delighted with Spaldiug’s Pre
pared Glue. It brings up no disagreeable associa
tions of sticky glue-pots and stifling oders, but is
merely a clear transparent liquid, in a pretty little
bottle, with a small accompaning brush, fit to stand
on the daintiest toilet table in all the land, \ith
cologne and perfumes and China trifles. And so
useful it proves, too, if any accident happens to the
ten thousand little knick-knacks that ladies delight
in. No sending to the manufacturer for repairs, at
an expense scarcely less than would attend the
purchase of anew urtit le. A few of the Crystal
drops, skillfully applied by fair fingers, will set all
right. For furniture, for work-boxes, for hooks,
for every thing, It is a perfect little family physician:
the amount of money that one of these bottles can
save ia a month, would seem almost incredible, and
ladies rely on their Prepared Glue B3 a sort of
a magician that, can effect every thing! And they
kttoiu, too. When any article of domestic reform
meets the enthusiastic .-auction at their hands that
Spaulding’s Prepared Glue has received, you may
be pretty sure it is something worth having on
your dosett shelf!
Abolitionists lllng.—The Navarro (Texas) Ex
press of the 31st, informs us that an abolitionist
was caught at Fort Worth, who had just distribu
ted fifty guns and fifty six-shooters among the ne
groes. Another man wa9 arrested in Parker coun
ty for a similar act, Both men were hung.
DEMOCRATIC DECAPITATIONS.
Intelligence reached ibis city from Washington,
this morning, of the removal by the President, of
Dennis B. Gaffney, Collector of the Port, Nicholas
Sigsbee aud James McQuade, Inspectors of the
Port,
In place of Mr. Gaffney, Mr. Justus W. Blanch
ard has been appointed; Mr. Thoma 9 Farrell in
place of Mr. Sigsbee, and R. M. Griffin iD place of
Mr. McQuade. — Albany Statesman.
The appointments and removals to Custom House
places in this city, are made by Collector Schell of
New York, and not by the President.
The persons appointed are known in Albany as
leaders of a clique which two years ago united with
die Republicans to defeat the re-election to Con
gress of Mr. Corxixh, in this District; aud which
has gradually dwindled to such insignificance that
last spring one of them running for office, received
but 70 votes to 3000 for his Democratic opponent.
One-of them is now and has for ten years past been
editor of the Albany A nickerbockcr, a Republican
paper. All three openly labored for, at the polls,
and voted the Republican ticket last fall.
’ The influences which, originating outside of the
district, dictated the defeat of Mr. Corning and
combined with Republicans against him, took for
their public pretext his course in support of the
Administration at Washington. Upon what pre
text they will present this recent proscription of
his supporters, and this promotion of his reckless
and malignant enemies—whether upon that of hia
course at Charleston and Baltimore or not —remains
to be seen.
The officers removed are faithful and popular
Democrats. Mr. Gaffney is known through the
State by twenty years of political service. Air. Mc-
Quade has just been elected, by a flattering vote,
Chief of the Fire Department; and Mr. Sigsbee is a
Democrat well known in the country towns for his
efficiency.
We find the above in the New York Albany Ar
gus. Air. Secretary Cobb has the control of the
Custom House appointments, in his peregrinations
in behalf of the Breckinridge cause,it might be well
enough for him to explain the foregoing. Up has
a very singular way of guarding Southern rights.
BELL AND EVERETT IN CONNECTICUT.
A very enthusiastic State Convention was held
on the 4th inst., in New Haven, composed of a
large number of the most prominent and influential
citizens of the State, The following Electoral
ticket was nominated. Nearly every one of the
nominees have been prominent men, holding the
highest offices in the gift of the State, and have
signified their willingness to take the field for the
Natioual Union Ticket:
Dennis Kimberly, of New Haven.
Ebenezer Jackson, of Middletown.
Charles Hawley, of Stamford.
John A. Rockwell, of Norwich.
Hezekiah Huntington, of Hartford.
Charles R. Alsop, of Middletown.
The National Intelligencer— An Incident. —
The death of Mr. Gales revives a reminiscence of
the only time his paper, the Nationrl Intelligencer,
ever suspended publication. It was a warm and
able advocate of the Aladison war policy, seconding
the efforts of Clay and his compeers, and so power
ful was its influence that when General Ross, in
command of the British troops, entered the capital
after the unfortunate affair of Bladensburg, his first
inquiry was not for the Capitol, the President’s
House, or the departments, but for the National
Intelligencer office, and it was the first establish
ment demolished, causing a short cessation in its
regular publication. With this exception the In
telligencer has been published regularly for sixty
years.— Albany Evening Journal.
Manners. —Young folks should be mannerly*
but how to be so is a question. Many good boys
and girls feel that they cannot behave to 3uit
themselves in the presence of company. They
are awkward, clownish, rough. They feel timid,
bashful, and self-distru9tful, the moment they are
addressed bv a stranger, or appear in company.—
There is but one way to get over this feeling, and
acquire ea3V and, graceful manners, and that is to
do the best they can all the time, at home as well
as abroad. Good manners are not learned so much
as acquired by habit. They grow upon us by
habit. We must be courteous, agreeable, civil,
kind, gentlemanly, and manly at home, and then
it will become a kind of second nature everywhere.
A coarse manner at home, begets a habit of rough
ness which we cannot lay off if we try, when we
go among strangers. The mo9t agreeable persons
we have ever known in company, were those who
were most agreeable at home. Home is the school
for all the best things.
Good Advice.— The National Intelligenoer ot
the 17th concludes a lengthy review of the present
condition of the Democratic party with the follow
ing good advice to all parties:
If, as President Buchanan declares, “ every Dem
ocrat,” under existing circumstances, “is at liberty
to vote ns he thinks proper, without running coun
ter to any regular nomination of the party,” why
can he not use this “ perfect liberty” in voting for
the eminently wise, safe, judicious and national
nominations offered to citizens of all parties and all
sections by the patriotic Constitutional Union par
ty ! The election of Bell and Everett is already
contemplated only with acquiescence, but with
satisfaction, by men of all political denominations,
as well at the North as at the Soulii, not, as flip
pantly charged, because these honored names re
present no distinctive theory in conflict with rival
organizations, but because the patrons of all rival
organizations begin to perceive the delusive and
unsubstantial nature of the issues by which they
have suit'd i-il themselves to be raided.

1 What Democracy ha* Done, according
to Democratic Testimony .
Let the honest voters of the whole country read
the following manly confessions from leading De
. mocrats from various sections of the Union :
“ When I first entered Congress, in 1843, the
expenses of the Government were only $30,000,-
000 per annum. The country had gone through
the expensive Mexican War with sixty-three thou
sand soldiers in the field, for thirty millions, and
now, iu time of peace, the estimates were seventy
three millions! He believed forty millions an
abundance for the national expense.”— Hon. A.
H. Stephens.
“This Government, sixty-nine years of age,
scarcely out of its swaddling clothes, is making
more corrupt uses of money, in proportion to the
amount collected from the people, as I honestly
believe, than any ether Government on the habita
ble globe." — Hens. Andrew Johnson, of Teun.
“ I think it is not saying too much to declare
that this country has gone faster and further, in
ten years, in extravagance, than most other coun
tries have gone in centuries. — Gen. Shields.
“ Before God I believe this to be the most cor
rupt Government on earth.”— Senator Toombs.
“ From the by-ways and the highways of the
[Government, the Rottenness of corruption
sends forth an insufferable stench! WHY
ARE THE PEOPLE SO PATIENT ? WHY
SLUMBERS THE INDIGNATION OF TIIE DE
MOCRACY ?” — lioger A. Pryor.
A British officer writing from Teheran, Persia, to
the ‘London Times,’ remarks : —“A Cathatric Pill
manufactured by ‘an American Chemist’ (Dr. J. C.
Ayer of Lowell, Mass.) has cured the Shah, of a
Liver Complaint that threatened his life. This sim
ple fact, as might be expected, renders the Ameri
cana immensely popular here, while we English are
overlooked. Doubtless our own scholars made the
discoveries which he employs, and thus it is in
every thing: we do the labor, then the mousing
Americans put their mark orrit and take the re
ward. Doet. Ayer is idolized by the court and its ,
retainers here, which will doubtless be reflected to
him on a gold snuff box, or diamond hiked sword, ‘
while not the name even of Davy, Christoson or ‘
Brodie—the great lights by which he shines, is
known.” —New York Shu day Paper. 1

Greenfield, Mass., July 27th, 1860.
I write you now from one of the prettiest littl e
places in western Massachusetts —a village embo9.
orned among hills that become a few miles north
the Green Mountain range. Distant seven hours’
ride by railway from New York, wo are able to
keep pretty well posted in the daily occurrences of
outside civilization.
Just now the newspapers came to us full of the
political manoeuvres that perplex the New York
I Republicans. Conscious that a sentiment repre
sented by more than two hundred thousand votes
is opposed to them in that State, their leaders
watch anxiously the signs which (omniously for
them) portend the combination of the various ele
ments which make up that sentiment into one
powerful opposition to their sectional schemes.
Accordingly every issue of the Tribune displays
their chagrin. It is sought by ridicule, misrepre
sentation, and even bare falsehoods, to stir up strife
among their opponents, in the vain hope to dis
suade honest men from their settled purpose of re
buking Weed’s Albany corruption and Seward’s
irrepressible conflict.
Washington Hunt is assailed day after day, not
only by Greely, but by the “curs of low degree’’—
(in influence) —Brooks is ridiculed and held up to
the scorn of all “ rail-splitters.” Fillmore is advised
in honest seriousness (?) to give no countenance to
the National Union Committee’s plans. And the
Tribune has advanced its impudence so far as to
assert in its editorial columns that “good authority”
(?) supports the rumor, (which had not been men
tioned before,) of Edward Everett’s contemplated
resignation in view of the schemes to elect Lane by
combining to defeat Lincoln in New York ! !
Has not the absurd reached in these tran3paren
jeremiads of virtuous indignation its culminating
point? Let the Jacobins howl. Their doom
is certain.
If with a Bell and Everett element of one hun
dred thousand and a similiar Douglas Gtrength in
the Empire State, the one hundred and forty thou
sand Republicans can succeed in searing us out of
our plans to defeat them, they will be welcome to
equity. I have given you these votes of the cam
paign, in order that you may see how hard pushed
our adversaries find themselves.
This fix in which we have put them is galling.
Unable to get New York their work is in vaiu, and
so in their straits every one who is not a Republican
is dishoaest, is a bargain and corruption man, is,
in fact, mean enough for anything.” Our great
obligations to them make these reproaches very
cutting !
You should see how this state of things makes
the Republicans of this region sweat. Thejr roll
the scurrilous epithets of the Tribune as sweet mor
sels under their tongues, and fume and fret like
maniacs whenever one hints their perplexing posi
tion. The news from Georgia adds to their dis
comfort, and it is actually amusing to witness their
writhings as every mail reveals more and more
clearly the probability of their defeat.
I am happy to communicate that this town is
not wanting in Bell and Everett enthusiasm. A
club was organized last Saturday, of which the
presiding officer is on& of the prominent men in
the county and State, and of which the other offi
cers and the Executive Committee are influential
citizens. A glorious Bell and Everett flag floats
across the main street and symbolizes the Union
spirit of those who raised it. An enthusiastic
serenade was given to it night before last, to which
cheers and hurrahs for Bell aud Everett, made a
glorious termination. Do not be surprised if Re
publicanism should happen to suffer a defeat in
Massachusetts next fall. CRACKER.
