Douglas in Bedford.

SHELBYvIILE Tenn, July &c, 1860.
EDIToRs UNION AND AMERICAN: A communiea-
ton signed "UniOn" from this place, states that
heretofore he had, in conversation with the editor
of the Patriot, told him that DOUGLAS would get no
votes in Bedford. He now in his letter takes that
back and ntmates that he did not know what he was
saying and in his letter says that while he lortes
the DOUGLAS men are holding meeting at the Court
house, and that they manifestng quite zeal in
behalf Of Judge DOUGLAS, and in a subsequent para
graph adds thai from the circumstances, if there
should not be change in some way that he would
in some way that he would not be surprised if
DOUGLAS got quite handsome vote in Bedford and
even run ahead of the YANcEY candidate, (by that
suppose he means BRECKNRIDGE.)
Messrs. Editors, loas at the meeting on Saturday
night the 21st. spoken of by "Union and am too
modest man to charge that he knowingly mistated
the facts, l am forced to believe that he at
home oriting while the meeting was going on at the
Courthouse, for there was nothing in the meeting
to indicate that DOUGLAS would get large vote in
Bedford The meeting, so TAR as the Douglas men
concerned did no. erceed eight votes all told and
Idsfy contradiction.
Now, Messrs. Editors, all l have to say Is that
"Union" is one of those who desire to destroy the
Democratic party if possible by creating the i'm
preston that there is discord and dissatisfaction in
the ranks of the Democracy, and though he was
candid enough to speak truly when he conversed
with the editor of the Patriot his true purpose was
shown in his letter; he cannot succeed here. 1t is
true that there some eight Democrats in
this county who are the warm friends of Mr. DoUG-
Als, but firmly believe that when they that the
Bell men endeavoring to cause dissention in our
ranks, they will, as good and true men unite with
their brethren in defeating, instead of coalecing
with the party who always oppose the Democratic
party. B.

Gen. Jackson,s bedford Letter.

1t will be well remembered by those conversant
with the political history Of the past in Tennessee
that Mr. BELL in 1886, while protesting still to belong
to the Democratic party, went off with Judge WHITE
and took with him a large number of Jackson men
who were actuated by the belief that Mr.. BELL was
true and devoted friend of Gen JACKSON. No
doubt the large majority of those who left the Dem
ocratic party then, believed that they were pursu-
ing the proper to promote the success of the
Democratic party; but how sadly were they deceiv-
ed. They soon found themselves in the front rank
Of the bitterest enemies of the old Hero Gen. JACK
son clearly foresaw the effects of the movement
made by Mr.. BELL He had no hesitancy in denoun-
cling it in the severest terms. In a letter to the
citizens of Bedford county in 1896 in reply to an in
Vtation to dinner rendered him. Gen. Jackson uses
the following language:
ave Ire teROO citizens, ia eUa times, l0hea political
dpoStdcy becomes frequent 1oheH public men abandon

tons and for selfish ends and dggTdRdzemeH are at

BIOndIn Crossing Over the whirlpool at
NiaGara..His C0OIness and Daring.


NiaRara--His Goodness and Daring.
! A correspondent of the New York Express writes
! from Niagara Falls on the 10th inst, as follows;
| Blondin, of course, is one of the great and per-
manent wonders of Niagara, and by his own good
VIII, and the polteness OF friends mainly Of the
American and British press l had the pleasure of
seeing him the whirlpool this afternoon.
| Only few personal friends and honored guests
were present 1t was n strange and marvellous, and
in some respects terrible spectacle The wind was
high with of clouds piled high in the heavens
and resting apparently upon columns which threat
ened every moment to break beneath and deluge
the earth with rain. The clouds finally passed
around the river and left nothing but the wind to
make the voyage one of extra hazard. Blondin
minded neither present wind nor threatened rain.
The big rope swayed little, and the guys which
supported it trembled in the wind. The cord was
200 feet above 1.-THE hell of waters" which literally
gaped and yawned below, and the distance over this
modern Styx was five times greater than the depth
below
The fastenings which held the rope were about
200 feet from the Suspension Bridge and as far as
practical, by canvass upon one side of the bridge
and the erection of amphitheater the eyes of the
curious, but uninitiated multitude were kept from
gazing upon this man of nerve, muscle and wire.
The mere machinery OF preparations was a marvel.
But then came Blondin, a man Just in his prime Of
years, weighing l35 pounds, dressedln the costume
of the circus, small COOL seemingly unconscious of
danger, but really knowing and feeling in every
limb every hazard before him. For fame and little
material aid, but more for honor than for money,
he was willing to take his life in his own hand and
cross over the gulf below. Others sailing over the
falls or tumbling into the river, had found grave
there before, but neither the past any antci-
pated future had any terror for BlOndin. A thOus-
and times more collected than any who beheld
him, he stepped forth with Gll the courage and
manliness of who felt that the eyes of the world
were upon him, and that he ready to meet any
danger which might befal him.
For about thirty minutes he made the rope his
paything, standing upon his head over the very
middle of the river, rolling over and over at
the place again. laying fiat upon his back
or standing upon one foot, and now letting himself
down by a small rope of forty feet, and there IN
dulging in all the bodily evolutioEs and revolutions
of the best of our slackrope dancers. These mad !
pranks were kept up for long time, and until it
relief to the excited and anxious gazers to |
have them cease. The walking dancing, and run |
ming upon the main rope was then resumed and |
the Canadian shore speedily reached. Returning to
our own shores there hazards pranks, and |
marvellous exhibitions, such as standing upon the |
head, dancing hanging by the heels, &c.
