III, Hcra,d ION Bell and Everett.

With au IT'S faults, the New York Herald possesses
remarkable degree OF tact and shrewdness aud very
accurate knowledge OF public sentiment Instead there
fore Of Initiating the small fry journals all over the coun
trv and INDUCING in petty dugs at BELL and EVERETT
IL has the sa-lci,y 10 perceive and the manliaes- to
rowledge that the constitutional Union ticket OF
solid and substantial merit and of constantly increasing
poDaa5itv Witness the tone Of the following article
which appeared in the Hsrald Of Tuesday:
"Whateyer else may be said about the convention
which placed Messfs Bel and Everett in nomination, it
cannot be denied that the delegates selected for both
sce on their ticket gentlemen who deserve well OF
.ir country II We had more men OF the Bell aud liver
~. .t, I'm office the business OF the government would
bee carried on with much more dignity than at present
While this fact Is generally Acknowledged, we notice that
some OF the Black Republican Journals attempt to throw
i..Is urou the ticket and thus divert public attention
from ,he nominees. This shows tina. the Black RepuO.i-
can, are not little frightened AZ heidea OF having three
o~ four strong tickets in the field against them very
able and stattsmauke letter from Mr. Everett has called
- some OF the Black Republican attacks which though
written with apparent good humOr, show signs OF latent
uc0r and concealed appry heusOu 10 Is quite true that
d. cannot bee said OF Mr. Bell or Mr.. Everett that
either of them kept grocery, OF distilled whiskey, or
WIS Judge OF fist fight horse race or that either
or r6euI ever split rails which seem be Mr. Lncoln
ONLY points Othersise however, obliged TO say
h Bell and Everett have largely the advantage OF their
oppoueuts The former are men of cultivation, educa-
zion and Recommendations, gentlemen and statesmen
of large experience In their hands the government
o.ri command confidence al home and respect abroad
m M bst constitutes fitness for the discharge Of thr dJ-
Ties of the executive branch of the government there ~
oo COMPARISON between Bel and Everett and Lincoln and
H.mHn. 40 vastly superior the former 1t argues
badly for republican Institutions when such men as John
Ben and Edward Everett sneered at by the organs Of
luurthrate village politicians, stump orators aud tavern
brIVlers'
There is the bold aud manly admission OF the ablest Al
most widely circulated Democratic Journal in America that
Ran and E,sR.rr observe well OF their country THAT
thew care eu Of cultivation aud refinement scholars gen
.m,a and statesmen OF &c eAperence' 'iu their
hand. tbs Government would command Goa. disHce ar
l I ,..r.,t abroad and that "iu all that cousti-
s fitness ior the discharge OF the duties Of the BHecu
live branch of the government there is comparison
between RrLl and EyFRErI and their opponents, 80
vastly superior are the former And Is admission
TOO. which will be endorsed and sustained by an over
ohe.ming majority Of the American people.
We hope the miserable little eightby-teu Democratic
and Republican sheets will be able to learn some
thing of good morals aud even from the New
York Herald As beating any sense into their thick
skulls however. that we hold to be impNctcable
