There being no earthly chance for the election OF eth
er Breckenridge or Douglas, why should any patriotic
and intelligent Democrat in Virginia perpeIrate the en-
Ormous folly of throwing away his vote on either one oil
themg There are actually but two candidates In the
Reld-Bell and Lincoln. You cannot and would not,
Of course vote for Lincoln To vote for Bell, then, is
your only alternative you desire the defeat of Lincoln,
as We are sure you do.
II is admitted by every OF his friends, without e1-
ceptiou, that Breckenridge cannot obtain solitary
Northern electoral vote And without at least 80 North
eru electoral votes with the whole 100 Southern elector-
al votes how is it possible for him to be eleeted' Mr.
Bell on the contrary stands excellent chance OF car
nv the electoral votes of several large and several small
Northern States and with the Unied vote OF the South
thrown for him. he would In Judgment be triumph
anty elected Jy the people. And his election thus oy
the people would prevent the confusion and danger In
ciient to an election by the House Of
But Mr. Breckenridge stands The remoest chance Of
an election either by the people, or by the House of Re
personalities if he could by any possibility get into the
House. Nor does Douglas stand any chance. There
fore the only hope in the world Of defeating Lincoln is fol
Wings and Democrats alike in the South to vote direct
" for Bell who cd defeat the Republicans and who
be elected by the people.
We invoke and entreat the conservative and patriotic
Democrats Of Virginia lay aside their attachment to
mere party name for once aud look to the preservation
of the Union and the peace and happiness of the coun
try by casting their for Bell and Everett 1t is YOU
solemn aud imperative duty thus to act and thus to vote
for to vote for either Breckenridge or Douglas wout
be equivalent to throwing your notes avay, and aiding
Indirectly in the election Of LiHeOiai Surely, you can
no. and will not in the presence of crisis so grave ant
50 full of peril, talk about party when duty demands
YOU to serve and save your country We call upon you
Democrats of Virginia, to break your party shackles
and stand forth as eemen and patriots aud vote, as one
man. for Bell and Everett.

GRAFTON, Taylor CO, Sept. 20, 1860
To the Editor of the Wig:
We had a glorious gathering of the Union men
here Yesterday For two weeks past we have
been busy preparing for the occasion, it having
been determined in connection with the public speaking
TO have an Old fashioned Virginia barbecue, and invite
ever, body TO be here. IL a complete success.
At an early hour OF the morning big roasted,
and all the usual eoncomnians ola great feast prepar
ed for the meeting.
A. noon, extra trains came in from all directions,
bringing vast concOurse Of people from Pierton llir
rson Barbour aud Marion counties who, with the peo
pie from county already assembled, formed in pro-
cessiou preceded by the FairmOnt brass band, and
marched TO the grove, about threeourths of nile
from town. The seats we found nearly half filed with
ladies and the crowd occupied all the mt space
within hearing distance of the speakers stand. T. H.
Psrpont called the meeting to ORDER and after the ap
ponment Of a President, yicePresidents aud Secreta-
res he addressed them in his usual forcble style for
about an hour He was followed by Mr.. Harrison, Of
Carksburg aud Hon. Mr.. Hoffman Of Nd. Both speech
es we're well received and made fine impression upon
Ihe audience At the conclusion Of Mr. Holimans speech
dinner was served up After dinner w. T. Wiley enchain
ed the attention of the crowd for that three hours
one Of his greatest stump speeches He frequently
interrupted by the enthusiastic shouts OF the multitude
and at the close three long, long and hearty cheers
given for Wiley aud the Union cause, amidst the boom
ing Of cannon and music from the band. Toe speaking
was continued till late hour at night aud greater
thusasm pervades all classes Of people than ever
before known. We shall give a good account Of our
selves 10 November.
Hon. Geo. W. Summers, to-day, addressed the people
in the grove When tell you it Of his best ef-
forts YOU will know what of speech il During
its progress the enthusiasm Of yesterday became
more intense shall not attempt to give you sketch
Of this or any of the speeches-indeed could not 90
Justice to Them suffice it to say they all that the
most ardent friends of the cause could desire.
On Thursday another great barbecue and public meet
ing will take place at Ciarksburg. Summers, Wiley and
A. H. H. Stuart will speak. On Friday, mass meeting
will be held Fairmont and torchlght procession at
night The same speakers, aud Col. John b. Baldwin

west are wide awake and are determined to do their
whole duty TAYLOR.

Our Advertising Agency at WinOna.

There Is a paper at Winona, edited by
little mite of dot of fellow, who has for
some time devoted most of itsspace, intended
for reading matter, to advertising for the
PIONEER AND DEMOCRAT. In his last weeks
issue, there can be found, we think, but two
paragraphs in his reading columns not de-
voted to such advertising. We are sincerely
thankful for the benefits thus derived, though
we confess to some doubt as to whether the
petite editor really intended to promote our
circulation, by thus giving us the almost
exclusive use of his columns. At any rate
you do us real service these hard times
CHARLEY In proportion to your circula-
lation and moral calibre you are the best
advertising medium we have. Next to you
we prize the YOUNG short-boy of the Hen
derson paper. The simple hearted JOHNSON
of the St. Anthony Express, we rank as
number three in the list. We question
whether your present guardian, as he lays
off in the United States Senate, leisurely
voting for the protection of Slavery in the
Territories, places rs high value upon you
all as ne do!

Rev. DR.. CARTWRIGHT AND ABE LIN.
CoLN.-A gentleman who was passenger
on train which left Buffalo on the 22d,
and brought Rev. DIR. Cartwright to this
city, has sent to the Buffalo Courier the
following letter, which may be interesting
to the admirers of Honest Abe"
LANCASTER, May %, 1860.
Mr.. EDITOR The following incident &C.
Cured on the train of cars which left Buf.
falo for the east at three o'clock to-day:
The venerable Peter Cartwright had
taken seat for Rochester, and, during
some fifteen minutes previous to tie time
the cars left the depot, the doctor was Civ.
ing me in his honest manner, bis opinion of
both Stephen A. Douglas and Abraham
Lincoln. He had finished the Little Gi.
ant" and was saying of "Honest Abe,"
that he is good citizen, upright, and in
point of talent he is second rate lawyer.
Just at that moment, in came bouncing
hot Republican, with his platform in his
hand, and took seat near the doctor. He
came just in time to hear the remark in re-
gard to Mr.. Lincolns talent, and it reused
him wonderfully. He interrupted the doc
tor mot knowing him), and proceeded under
a rather high pressure of steam to inform
him that he was mistaken on that point.
After he had blown off somewhat, the doc
tor said: "Well, my friend, don't know
but you are more familiar with the charac-
ter and history of both Mr.. Douglas and
Mr.. Lincoln than I am. For myself, I can
only say that have lived in the same coun-
ty with both of them for twenty-five years
that gave to Mr.. Douglas the first Office
he was ever favored with; that have my
self twice run in opposition to Mr.. Lincoln
for seat in the legislature of Illinois, and
beaten him both times-and can do it
ngain, if l will" By this time, you may
well suppose that the laughter drowned
whatever else the doctor might have said.
