GREAT HYPOCRIsY.-The conglomerated mass
of discontinued politicians which compose the Cop
position party" have been free in their denuncia,
tlons of Senator Douglas, Ga who has voted
with the South to sustain the rights of the South
but they recently got together at Baltimore and
nominated John Bell, man who voted against
removing an odiOus restriction imposed upon South
ern people. When GEO. E. BADGER of n. c.,
ana stephen A. Douglas were fighting side by side
IN the L. s. Senate for Southern rights, John
Bell, the opposition candidate for President was
opposed to them and the just measures they advo-
Gated. We are no particular friends of Douglas,
Cthough we have ever considered him safe and
sound man, but it certainly i'll becomes anv one
who supports Bell, to denOunce DOuglas-it shows
great hypocrisy.

nomination of Bell and Everett by the "Union-
savers" creates no stir here. Their names are
seldom mentioned, and unless the Conventions

same lack of enthusiasm will accompany their
names all through the campaign. In Tennessee,

R@ The Columbia Carolinian saws:

A friend of ours now in Washington not a
member Of Congress, telegraphs to us as follows:
WASHINGTON: May 23.--The necessity is more
and more imperative to send delegates to Rich
mond accredited to Baltimore, should circum-
stances render it advisable to be represented there.
Public sentiment is overwhelmingly centering
upon Breckenridge for President, and Lane, or
Seymour, of New York, for Vice President
Such nomination would be elected Beyond all
question it is the one for the South.
The nomination of Lincoln for the Presidency
by the Chicago Convention took every one by sur
prise. The Seward men indignant, and it is
said Seward will resign his seat in the Senate, dis
gusted with the ingrattude of his party.

Ex-PREsIDENr FILLMoRE.-In a letter, dated
April 30th, Mr. Fillmore writes as follows:
81 profess to belong to no party, but my coun-
try, and am taking part in politics. but, though
a silent, am by no means an Indifferent spectator
of passing events. On the contrary, look with
the most intense anxiety, not to say alarm, upon
the present state Of things. 1t appears to ME,
that he must have read history to little profit who
does not see, in the growing jealousy and hatred
between the North and South, the seeds of dis
cord and civil strife which may end in civil war
and the destruction of this government. l am
sure that no one can that there was more
hatred between Great Britain and her colonies
ten, or even FIVE years before Revolution, than
now exists between the North and South and the
cause, if cause there be, seems likely to endure.
Demagoeues, North and South, fan this fame for
selfish and ambitious objects; and the great
which are usually inert and passive. are likely to
be drawn into the contest and sacrificed, note'.s
rolens. May Heaven save US, for | fear We arc
unwilling to save ourselves"
We find the following in the Baltimore Sun.
We really do not understand Mr. Fillmore's posi-
ton:
Political Afairs.-The Buffalo Commercial
Advertiser, the organ of Mr. Fillmore, after paying
a handsome compliment to Bell and Everett has
raised the Lincoln and Hamin flag, in order to
defeat the democrats.

sg- The opposition party at Baltimore adopted
the Constitution its platform On that sort of
platform the abolitonists have been standing for
years, though they give it different meaning
from that placed upon it by Southern men. Every
Black Republican member of Congress swears to
support the Constitution; yet they are constantly
voting and acting in violation of it construed by
the South. The Bell and Everett party have
evaded the issue, and have adopted platform to
suit different men with different views We are
surprised that the North Carolina delegates in
that Convention should have submitted to such
trick, and should not be disappointed to hear
that some of them disapprove of it.

Mr. DOUGLAS SPEECH.-On the 18th and 10th
instant, Mr. Douglas made great speech in the
U. S. Senate in support of the doctrine of nom
Intervention by Congress in the Territories. The
speech is triumphant vindcation of the principle
that Congress ought not to interfere with slavery,
but leave the people of the States and Territories
to establish or prohibit it as they may elect. And
he proves that the State Legislatures of Florida
and Georgia, a State Convention of Georgia as
well as of other Southern States, the Hon Geo f.
Badger of North Carolina, Henry Clay, aud other
distinguished men North aud South, have advo-
Gated and supported the same principle for which
he Douglass is now contcnding. No man, I'M
Prejudiced by party feelings, can read the speech
aud then say that Stephen A. Douglas is an unsafe
man for the South to trust

THAT GRANDSON OF PATRICK HENRY.-One
of the most affecting incidents of the present day
is the which took place in the late opposition
Convention at Baltimore, as related by two of the
delegates, MIR Barringer and MIR Boyden 1t
was enough to bring tears to the eyes of a crocO-
die Only those can appreciate it who have heard
the patriotic story OF John Jackson Spriggins at
the battle of g Little York"
1t is said that gentleman named Henry, Ga
grandson Of Patrick Henry of course-that's the
affecting part of the story,) made speech at Bal
tmore after Bell was nominated, which SO electri-
fed the audience that the Convention was turned
into hugging match, and weeping and shaking
of hands was the order of the day, regardless of
the efforts of the President to preserve decorum.
Patrick HENRY's grandson cried--somebody else S
grandson cried-our neighbor, Rufus Barringer,
Esq, teried-and We rejoice to say that the Hon.
Nat Boyeten cried, like child over spilled milk.
1t is said be terrible thing to strong man
weep, but We suppose in the case of our friends,
Messrs Boyden and Barringer, it could not be
helped, and no doubt they felt better atterward.
Really, the Convention should have ordered that
the scene be printed, then our friends would not
be under the necessity of occupying SO much time
to relate it while they are trying to rally the trag
ments of the opposition.
The western Democrat. [volume] (Charlotte, N.C.) 1852-1870, 1860-05-29

FURTHER PRooF.-The charge has been fire.
quently made and sustained, that Mr. Pool, the
opposition candidate for Governor, voted against
ad vaorem in the Legislature; though since bis
nominatos. he says he is in favor of it. The oppo-
stion press say that the ad valorem Mr. Pool voted
against is not the ad valorem he wants. But they
claim MIR Bledsoe good friend Of ad valorem,
and yet Mr. Bledsoe introduced the measure
against ,chich Mr. Pool uoted. Further: the OPP
position quote Mr. Bledsoe's speech to show that
ad valorem is right, yet they cannot deny that Mr.
Pool voted against the measure Mr. Bledsoe advo-
Gated. Our readers can now see in what an in
consistent position MIR Pool and his party have
placed themselves.

AN ERRoR-We do not intend to reopen the
discussion about the transportation of the mails
the Railroads, but We see communication in the
Chester Standard in which the writer makes an
erroneous statement, unintentionay no doubt.
He says:
1.-The companies have been carrying through
mail for some months by which Columbia, Charlotte
and the intermediate points receive all northern mail
matter one day earlier than they otherwise would
and for which according to the p. NJ Generals
own showing they should have additional compen-
sation, but they have neither received that the
thanks of the community SO far as 1 have heard"
charlotte and the intermediate points" receive
no benefit from the night through mail-it is not
opened betceen Weldon and Columbia. The
carrying of this night through mail is voluntary
service on the part of the Roads-the Department
does not require them to do it. If the Roads were
required 20 do day and night service for the De-
partment, it would change our opinion about the
difficulty materially. But such is not the case.
The western Democrat. [volume] (Charlotte, N.C.) 1852-1870, 1860-05-29

WHY is IT?-Why is it that the Black Repub-
icans do not denounce the Opposition party which
recently nominated Bell at Baltimore ? and why is
it that the Black Republicans have denounced and
are denouncing the democratic party The Blacks
in Convention at Chicago, denounced the demo-
cratic Administration, but said not word against
the Bell and Everett party. Neither did the Bell
and Everett party say word against the Blacks!
1t may be that the Blacks do not consider the Bell
and Everett party in the way of Lincolns election,
but they view the democratic party in different
light and look upon it the only obstacle in their
way.
The Black Republican Convention which nomi-
mated Lincoln, passed the following resolution
among others:
5th That the present Democratic Administration has
far exceeded worst approximations In its measure
less subserviency the exacOns of sectional inter-
est especially evident in its desperate exertons to
force the infamous Lecompton Constitution upon the
protesting people of Kansasn construIng the personal
relation between and servant to involve an I'M
qualified property in personsin its attempted enforce
ment everywhere, on land and sea- through the inter-
vcntion of Congress and the Federal Courts Of the ex
pretensons of purely local interest, and in its
general and unvaryng abuse of the power entrusted
to it by coufding people,
The sectional interest" mentioned above is
Southern inJerest, for subserviency to which, a
democratic Administration is condemned.
WILL NOT STAND Ir.-The Montgomery Gala
Mail, one of the leading opposition papers in the
State of Alabama, refuses to support Bell and
Everett. The Mail is dspleased because the OPP
position Convention purposely neglected to adopt
a platform favoring the rights of the South. That
paper says:
ave quarrel with no man for his opinions, but
We must be allowed to retain and express own.
1t pains to part with old friends-it would dis
honor to desert our honest convictions. Think
ing We do of the platform, and the mode of
structure of the Union Convention, it would be
rank treason in us to support its nominees. We
say nothing in personal disparagement of either;
we simply believe that neither is that sort Off
friend to the South which her present necessities
require. Bell and Everett may be successful
but the question with is, how the SOaM
conquer ?"
