John Bell and Emerson Etheridge
i'm the Embraces OF Black Repub-
caniSm.
Not long ago HORAcB GREELEY boosted that =
the next Presidential election, Tennessee might u
carried for ticket hOse 10 the extension of SgaUsry
We have copied from the columns Of the New York
Tribune bitter ard offensive Abolition sheet, Of
which HoRAcE GREELEY is the editor, repeated
Communications of the position and platform Of The
Opposition in Tennessee. We have copied GRsE-
LEVsarticles and his speeches which he announces
his willingness to support JOHN BELL for the
Presidency, on account of his opposition to the
extension Of Slavery, and eulcgized EslERsON Eth
FRIDGE and WILLIAM CULLoM for their course On
the Kansas Nebraska Bill. We have shownalso, that
the Black Republicans offhe North are looking with
soliciude TO the result Of the election next Thurs
day, as deciding the question, whether q majority
of the people Of Tennessee will follow JOHN BELL,
his allies, and his organs, into that infamous coal
tiOn which is to place the Black Republican party
in power.
The New York Tribune of July %, 1859, contains
full development Of III, plot, by which the South
is to be crushed by the unitei strength of the North
ern aud Southern Opposition, led on by WILLIAM
If. SEWARD snd JoHN BELL.
We lay its details before our readers Of both
parties, that they may see, what dangerous sedi-
tiOus and selfdestructye schemes they will promote
in thia contest. The will aid the Black Republicans
to break down the Democratic party, and OVerpOwer
the friends of the Constitution and the Union They
will aid in building up power, which cherishes
deadly snimosity to the honor and interests of the
South, and is plotting to despoil us Of our rights
and property. Those who unite with the 0pposi-
tisn under their present leaders at place them
selves within the scope Of that orgsuiza alton, which
the Abolition editor of the Tribune, is forming,
and which now embraces within its folds, the lead
ing champions of the Opposition in Tennessee
JoHN BELL and EMBEsoN ErHERrDGE g. Co.
These gentlemen are the acknowledged and IA
vorite leaders of their party in Tennessee. Mr..
BELL has been recommended for the Presidency
by the Opposition conventions IN large proportion
of the counties il the State. He is supported with
singular uuanimity by the organs of his party. His
name has been placed at the head of many of
the Opposition papers for the Presidency. The
Nashville Banner proposes that the standard
of the Opposition shall be placed in his hands,
and the Nashville PatriOt claims that he is 'THs RE-
PREsENTATIvE Man AND LEADER Of the great eonser-
vdtiUs Opposition party Which is preparing TO assume
control Of the Government When Lis present dainsTa
ton shall retire from po,ger" OF that conservative
Opposition" GREELEY is also a member He con-
trcls the Black Republican wing which constitutes
four-ffths of the party. He also endorses Mr. Ball
nominates him for the Presidency, and relies upon
him to bring the people of Tennessee into subsection
to the dominion of the Black Republicans.
In the article which we copy below from the New
York Tribune, GREELEY tells US what are the seni-
ments and purposes of this "grsat conservative OPP
position"
He tells US that the Republicans win receive into
their organization all who oppose the repeal of the
Missouri Restriction.
Mr.. BELL and bis party opposed the repeal of that
measure.
They will receive ali who oppose Mr.. PIEReE's
Kansas policy.
The Opposition organs and lenders denounced Mr..
PIERCEs course on Kansas as bitterly the Adolf
They will receive those who opposed the LecOmp-
ton English Bill.
Here again Mr.. BELL snd his party are with them.
They will receive those who resist the acquisition
of territory in order to increase The area of slave
~.
Mr.. BELLS course on the annexation of Texas
and the acquisition of Cuba, was commended by the
Abolition organs, and furnishes a sufficient guar
sntee to the Black Republicans that both he and his
followers will be entirely subservient to their wishes
in the exclusion of slave territory. On all these
questions and others HoRAcE GREELEY says that
Mr. BELL and WILLIAM SEWARD precisely agree.
Mr.. BELL has spent large portion Of his line
in New York fer several months past. He &C
knowledges that he has held conferences with
WIN. II. SEWARD. on the prospects Of the o. posi-
tien, and it will be remembered that GREELEY and
other sbolitionists rendered him public dinner.
He is admitted I" into their councils" and he ad-
mits them to his confidence. He nov stands with
one hand clasping the Black Republicans Of the
North, and With the other leading his followers at
the South into their embraces. he is Che nucleus
of this infamous scheme for the destruction Of the
South, which we End revealed in the Tribune and
every vote given for the Opposition ticket is
dorsement Of that scheme.
