THE BELL. EVERETT ANTI. SLAVERY RE.
CORD,

Here it is presented in miniature, but with
its revolving features plainly brought out,
by writer in the Mobile Mercury. Let
Southerners mark it we'll:
l. John Bell voted in 1886 to receive
abolition petitions, and was the only South
erner who did.
.. John Bell voted against the repeal Of
the odious Missouri Compromise when the
South was unanimous in favor of it.
3. John Bell voted against the admission
of Kansas as a Slave State, when the mass
Of the South thought its rejection cause for a
dissolution of the Union.
4. John Bell favored the admission Of Cal
ifcrnia under Squatter Sovereignty against
the wish of Tennessee and the South.
5. John Bell favored the abolition Of
slavery in the District of Columbia, as il
shown upon Congressional record.
6. He is charged with saying that he
would sooner coalesce with the Black Repub
licaDs than see this Union dissolved.
Mr.. Everett has a record before the coun
try. What is it
l. Congress can abolish slavery and th'
slave trade in the District of Columbia.
O. Congress ought to abolish slavery in tn
District of Columbia.
g. That Congress has power to abolsI
slavery in the Territories.
4. That no new State shall be hereafte
admitted which permits slavery.
5. That Congress has the power to obolis
the traffic in slaves between the diferen
| States.
These are all matters Of record and are
norton of the history Of our country.

A singular calculation has been made
showing that in case of the election Of
President by the House of Representatives,
the seventeen smallest States can elect a
President Three of these minor States
have only a single representative, six have
only two, three have three, three have four,
one has five, and another six, so that thirty
seven members of Congress- being majority
of the delegation from majority of the
States, can elect President, if no election is
made by the electors chosen by the popular
vote.

OvERRATED.-Never mans strength was
more overated than Judge Douglas. 1t is
not certain that be will receive the electoral
vote of single State. Lincoln will beat
him all hollow in Illinois and the other free
States of the West, while Breckenridge and
Lane will distance him in Indiana, as they
will in all the Southern States, together
with California, Oregon, New Jersey, and
we believe Pennsylvania. Douglas is a
dead cock in the pit. Take him outs and
make proper disposition of his carcass, for
he is down among the dead ones, SO for as
his aspirations for the Presidency are con-
cerned.- VickSburg Sun.

gusta Coustituti1nalist, Douglas organ in
Georgia, issued Il card calling upon It's sub.
Scribers in the different countries to indicate
the political preferences of their representa-
tyos, in the Legislature, for President. So
far, it appears from the responses, which
must be anything but conSolug to the Con
stitutionalist, that all the Democratic mem,
bers heard from are for Breckenridge, sew.
eral of the American members are for him,
and against Bell, The inquiry instituted
by the Constituticnalist derives Importance
from the fact, tha, in Georgia the electors
must have an absolute majority of the pop
ulur vete to be chosen. Failing in this, the
Legislature chooses the electors. The Leg
islature is strongly Democfatic, and decided
ly for Breckinridge This is one of the
States that the Bell and Everett men hoped
for, and the Douglasites pretend to claim
FROM the simple statement of facts made
we can estimate at its true value the bragga

LETTER FROM JAS. B. CLAY.

~ A'''S"'Ho ~
of Henry Clay, i'll response to an invitation
extended him to address ratification meet
ing at Mt. Sterling;
LEXINGTON, July l3, 1860.
GENTLEMAN | have received your favor,
asking me to come to Mt Sterling on the
sth aud address our citizens in behalf of
Breckenridge and Lane.
1t would afford me great pleasure to meet
our friends of Montgomery, but previous
engagement will prevent my doing 50 on the
occasion named. | cannot see how any por'
ton of the Democracy of Kentucky can fail
to give their support to Breckenridge, the
man of our own State, and standing upon
the very principles enuncated by our State
Convention of the Sth of January last
besides, my mind is very clear upon tho
point that Democratic votes cast for any
other candidate must inure in the first place
to the benefit of Bell and Everett, and final
ly to that of Lincoln.
Hoping that you may have large an,
harmonious meeting, am, very respectful
! ly, your obedient servant.
