The vhig papers of his own State

An evidence of feeling with which
some of them regard him, is fur

BELLIsM. prominent paper of
Middle Tennessee Of the Old Fogy
stamp, calls those presses this side of
the mountain who refuse to throw up
their hats and shout hallelujah to
John Bell, "#ominal whig papers, "
and rebukes them severely for at
tacking leading member Of the ma
tional whig party! We suppose here
after the test of an orthodox wing is
to be blind devotion to Col. Bell, re-
CARELESS of principle or policy or
manly feeling If SO, we must re-
spectfnlly beg leave to say that ac-
cording to that rule we are not an Or
thodox whig. We have DO confidence
in Col. Bell, do. not believe be is a
sound hearted, unselfsh whig, have
no idea he could ever be elected
President of the United States, and
do not feel disposed to support him
for that office. Welurge no objec-
ton to Col. Bell because of his course;
we care nothing about that, and do
not intend to make it test in our
choice of wings for any office 10 the
future, being alw hys willing to accord
honesty and patriotism to all men,
until we find them to be unworthy of
such confidence. Col. Bells polti-
cal history, we think condemns him,
and the whig party could not take
more effectual step to seal it's ruin,
than to attempt to elect this old fogy
to the Presidency.
