crowd of the Bell men, aud the streets around the square
exhibited perfect Jam of humanity The windows and
balconies of houses presented spectacle never before

TIE SUGGESTION MEETS FAvoR.-Many Of the calm and
dispasionate Of the Democratic party, seeing the
folly which auimates the leaders, seriously bordering
the only remedy left TO save the country from further
agitation and that is to withdraw both the Douglas and
Breckenridge tickets aud let the contest be narrowed
down 10 Bell and Everett on side, and Lincoln aud
Hamlin on the other.
We feel safe in the assertion that thousands oil GOOD
Democratic citizens of the country, who seek neither
honors nor profit from the government would be graft
fed TO see both Douglas and Breckenridge Withdrawn
1t is sure way to defeat the Northern agitators-
Sound policy, patriotism, every consideration which
ought to operate upon sensible people, indicates the
propriety Of the suggestion 1t ia yet not too late TO Sc
