BELL AND EVERETT IN THE SOUTH.

From The Baltimers Patriot
As imperial public journalists, we deem IL our duty
from time TO time TO present to our readers the position
otthe several political parties and from the present
standpoint the probable result Of the canvas in the
Sa,ts VIII ch we shall review. In times of high party
excitement, we are aware that heated partizans are
ever prone TO ascribe political bias TO those who may
rot chine In with their peculiar predilecions yet sush
charges and misrepresentation shall not deter fro1
line of policy which, we conceive, TRUTH justice,
and fair dealing, demand at our hands.

Tbirgs in Alabama look as though Breckenridge
woud carry the State for there has been large de-
lection from the ranks of the Opposition, under the

Col Echos letter, and place himself upon distinct
Slave Code platform. Douglas will hardly be able TO

In Georgia the battle will be very fierce, and there
will probsby be no choice Of an Electoral ticket by the
people because it takes an absolute majority to elect
and failing in au election, the question will go to
