sentence which Southern Statesman alive to the
interests and honor of his section would have spok
en-. It Was such aspeech as no man in the South,
save JOHN BELL, could would have delivered, and
such one no Southern man except his servile
supporters can read without feeling Of humiliation
and shame. The fanatics of the North rejoice over
it as an evidence of the weakness and divisOa Of
Southern eOunsels, while the fuglemen of the party
hail il as an indication Of the speakers thorough
devotion TO the ansi-slsvery cause Should il fail
to secure Mr.. BELL the Black Republican nomina-
ton for the Presidency, it will only be because his
treschery to his own section has created doubt Of
his fidelity to his new allies.
This man whose whole career has been pander-
ing to northern preiudces aud submission to
northern aggression is now the acknowledged leader
Oftbe opposition in Tennessee Under bis auspices,
direction and advice, they will enter upon the COM
ing canvas. The associate of AbOlitiOnists, the

tiOns, he is also the fayoriIe of the Know Nothing
party in bis cwn State, who are as subserVient to
his will as he is obedent to the wishes Of his AbO-

the prejudices of the Black Republicans and selling
out the rights Of the South to its enemies he is die
taing principles and platforms his followers at
home, whom he will shortly deliver up as bond
| slaves TO his Northern masters TIE eulogies Of
the New York Tribune AMI New York Times are al
ready echoed by the Know Nothing PRESS IN the
South, and the name which our enemies delight to
honor is already floating at the head Of Southern
journals as their candidate for the Presidency.
To show that we do not misrepresent the feeling
of the Republican party we conclude with few ex-
tracts from the New York Times, the writer of which
seems to be thoroughly acquainted with public SEN
timeht at the North.
1.-THE candidates prominent before the Opposition
are Senator Cameron Senator Seward, William L.
Dayton Senator Bell, Senator Crittenden, Governor
Banks, Lincoln, John Fremont"
After Discussing the claims of the various gentle
men, mentioned in connection with the nomination,
/ the writer continues:
THE fact is the Opposition now casting their
! eyes towards Southern deliverer; some chief who
] will rescue them from oppression las they term
] Democratic rule One section Americana looks to
Critenden the other (RepublicaB looks to Bell Of
Tennessee The contest will be an arduous enc, and
/ not devoid OF bitterness
In confirmation of these views, the writer in the
Times details conversation between several Prom
linen Republicans who stated:
ssThat notwithstanding they were personally in
favor of Seward, yet that it would be polite
! to nominate a SOutheTnor, so that il might not be
said that there a sectional struggle for power
1t was further urged that Bell, of Tennessee, was
1 The most available candidate for them"

few dsyssiuos the Banner denounced the whole

few DAYS since the Banner denounced the whole
body of ofice~bolders at Washington, from ''the
President down 10 the door keeper of the House, :"
as "batch of corrupt, spoilebuniiug, President
seeking. blood sucking, political hucksters." The
immediate prOvoeatiOn which elected this rich pro-
fusion Of choice and elegant phrases the fact
Of the Postmaster General having changed the New
Orleans mail from the old route, by which the Ban
nsr asserts cit was regularly received in between
three and four days." to another route, by which
the Banner states 'its now aUqriably to eight
days coming through"
Having shown by the records of the Post -ofice
that the Banner statements with regard to the speed
Of the two routes were entirely incorrect, we ez-
pscted from that paper some acknowledgement Of
it's Injustice to the Postolhee Department and the
officers who administer its affairs. So far from
this our contemporary, in subsequent article at
tempts to justify it's former statements, aud iDdul-
ges in some additional reflections on the manage
lnent of the PostOiee Department asserting that it
sis now generally acknowledged to be, from its
head 10 its most remote ramifcalions, in worse con-
dtion than ever before known in the history of the
government"
These general foundations, groundless ami UNI
supported as tney are Va NPPNSAsAOA
arguments against the Administration. The Know
nothing Press having reasonable ground Of com
plant against the Democratic party, endeavor TO
weaken its hold upon the affections Of the people
by general charges of corruption and inefheiency
ag inst the officers to whom the control Of the gov
eminent is committed
We do not fear the effect Of such assaults. The
intelligent people of this country win vindicate the
patriotism and fidelity of the Administration, and
will rebuke the injustice of its opponents at the
ballot box.
We certainly we're not aware that the management
of the Post Office Department less satisfactory
than at any former period. We know that the mail
facilities of the nation have been greatly increased
during the last two years, that the time consumed
in their transportation has been greatly diminished
and that the benef of the Postal system have been
extended 10 regions of country hitherto deprived Of
its advantages OF the specific charges which the
Banner has urged from lime to time against the serv
ice not one mas been sustained and the praise which
il has withheld from the late Head of the Post Office
Department for his faithful and vg4nt attention to
the public interest, has been awarded to him By
just and grateful nation.
