until their doubts could be removed. There can
now be no excuse for any true Southern man, who
desires the Constitutional protection of all our
rights, and at the same time to preserve the unie a.
withholding his support from John Bell. Tn0se
who openly advocate disunion, well as these
who are working insiduousy to "precp.ta the
cotton States into revolution" will, of course,
vote for Breckenridge. To them we Lave no ap.
peal to make.
The prospects of the Union parts says the New
York Clipper, are every day loo ming up with gran
deur and more magnificent proportions. Most
cheering intelligence is Continually pouring in
upon the National Executive Committee from AL
parts of the country. The fact is new apparent
that the ontestwill be practically narrowed dewn
to Bell and Everett On the one side, and Lincoln
and Harnlin on the other. The issue is simply be-
tween nationality and sectionalsm, between the
friends of the Uacn ana the Constitution ard their
enemies. In such contest there is no alternative
for conservative men anywhere. To 4ose for
either Breckenridge or Douglas will be simply
throwing away suffrage for the benefit Of the
Republican party. In the North the Republicans
are making all the thunder for Brecliinrdge, to
keep him in the field for their benefit and to divide
4 the conservative vote ana keep it away from Bell
and Everett.
/ Impressed with these facts, the people are NOV
/ ing in masses to rally Under the Union party ban
ner. Recruits are daily coming in from all quar-
| ters not by hundreds and thousands but by tens
| of thousands. The National Executive Committee
at Washington are working assiduously and with
confidence and success. 1t is only necessary that
| their efforts should be seconded cordially and
/ promptly by the State and local executive COM
| mittees, and by the masses Of the conservative
people in every State and county and precinct, to
| insure triumph unprecedented since the days
| Of 1910. @l
| The Lexington (ya.) Valley Star says:
| We are net only assured apon good authority
that there is beyond all doubt from 1000 to 1909
majority for Douglas in Rockingham, but that the
reaction liz Shenandoah is already great and still
progressing.
