Labor Snent vain.

Those two great champions of Bell and Everett in
Georgia, the Chronicle and Sentinel and Savannah
Republican, are shouting and ranting, and making
themselves perfectly ridiculous in their vain endeav
ors to rally their broken cohorts The idea of elect
ing Bell and Everett has been joke, or hrInbug,
from the beginning of the contest. They never had
the least possible chance of getting single electoral
vote in any of the freeso States without the help
of the Democracy. Nor have they at any time had
reasonable prospect of getting the vote of a single
Southern State without help from the Democracy.
These are facts which well informed men every
where know, aud which candid men everywhere
admit. Reasonable and sensible know that
John Bell, to-day, stands no more chance of being
elected President of the United States at this time,
than he does of being elected Emperor of China. 1t
is barely possible but not in the least probable that he
may get the vote of two Southern States, and
if he should. it will not make his election to the
Presidency a supposable contingency. And yet,
with all these facts before them, which they are
compelled to see if they will only open their eyes,
these two editors continually ranting, and raw
ing and roaring, and calling upon the men, women
and children to arm themselves to rally and fight for
he Union and John Bell Hear what he of the Sat
vannah Republican on the 10th inst said;
ave say, then, to the Union men of Georgia and
the South Grid on your armOr, plunge into the
midst of the battle, and never cease fight until the
closing of the polls in November. Did such spirit
animate US, Georgia would be placed side with Ma
ryland Virginia and Kentucky, at the close Of the
struggle
That must be a very queer kind of Union that
quires so much fighting TO preserve it. The editor
of the Republican is very much ike the Irish gentle
man writing to friend in this country: said he
fighting continually to keep peace, and whilst he was
writing he held sword In one hand and pistol in
the other In one thing in all probability, the VIII
ter will be gratfed. Georgia will probably vote
with Maryland, Virginia kentucy, but not for John
Bell Hear also what the editor of the Chronicle and
Sentinel says that Bell with Douglas principles.
Here it is:
But, under all the circumstances, is the impera-
tive duty of the Bell men of Georgia to work, and
work without ceasing if we cannot carry the Union,
we have counties and cities to be worked for, and
for no cause should we relax energies. On the
contrary let us work harder than we ever worked
before. Old men, signaze the last act Of your long
lives by the best you ever did. Young men, it is
all important to start right and that is to go for your
chOIe country and Bell and Everett And the women,
and mothers. and sisters, and daughters are even
more interested in the Union than the men. When
revolution comes it will be especially a dark
day for all of you Then send your husbands, and
fathers, and brothers, and sweethearts forth into
thlckest of the fight
Now, is 1t not distressing case when this editor
calls upon old men on the verge of the grave and
young men and women and girls all to help elect
John Bell and if they can't do that to tn aud elect
some Of the city and county officers. that the CrOn-
icLe and Sentinel can get the advertising. That is
what he means.-N iHedgeUiLte Union.
