RECORD OF Mr.. BELL.-The convention which
nominated Mr.. BELL for the Presidency, did
so without an avowal ofprinciples upon which
he and his friends based his claims for an cleo
ton, and without the adoption of plat
form-which is promise of future action
but referred the people to his antecedents for
the principles upon which he appears before
them for their suffrages. 1t therefore becomes
us to look and see what has been the antece-
dents of Mr.. Bell within the last few years.
The record shows that at the stormy second
session of the 25th Congress, when the ques-
ton of the reception of Abolition petitions
was the great sectional issue of the day, he
voted with Adams, and Giddings, and Slade,
against the almost entire South; that he again,
in 4S, voted against the Clayton Compromise ;
in So against the Organic Act Of Utah, re-
pealing the Missouri restriction; in "a against
the Nebraska Kansas Act; and in 81 and 50
against the admission Of Kansas under the
Lecompton Constitution, when, upon each and
all of these measures the line had been so
strictly drawn between the North and the
South as to give to each and all an intensely
exciting sectional character.
We do not think this record is such as to
authorize Southern men to give the Bell and
Everett ticket their support. For it should
be steadily borne in mind, that this same of
fetal record shows that Mr. Everett also stood
in the ranks of the Abolition party, and voted
with them upon all party questions.

THE ScnooL COMMISSIONERS were in session
ON Tuesday last, with much important BUSH
ness before them. The Treasurer has received
from the State about four thousand three hun
bred and fifty dollars, due Montgomery county
for school purposes. We regret that Mr..
YOUNG, one Of the commissioners, has been
compelled to resign his position in the board.
We hope that he may reconsider his purpose,
and resume his laborious duties with bis fell
low-commissoners.

The Elections.

KENTUcKY-The election in this State came
off on Monday last. The only officer voted
for was Clerk of the Court of Appeals. The
returns as far as received, indicate the cleo
ton of Coombs. The candidates were Leslie
Coombs, union, Clinton McCarty (Breck-
inridge dem. and R. R. Boiling and Brent
Hopkins, (Ind.)
NoRrH CARoL1SA.-In this state, Ellis,
breckenridge Dem is elected Governor by
some ten or twelve thousand majority, and
both branches Of the Legislature largely de-
mocratic.
ARKANSAS johnson, the Breckinridg de-
mocratic candidate for governor, is no doubt
elected by majority Of from ten to twelve
thousand.
MlssouR-The returns from this State come
in slowly, and it is impossible, as yet, to form
any idea how the state has voted.
The Baltimore Republican, speaking of the
elections just passed, remarks: The Oppose
ton Press are misreprescnting the facts of the
recent election, in order to discourage the
Democracy and raise the dropping hopes
of their own forces. These parties claim
Mr.. Pool, of North Carolina, as the Union
candidate. Mr.. Pool, like Mr.. Ellis, is a
friend of Mr.. Breckenridge, but the Doug
las Democrats united with all the elements of
Opposition against Mr.. Ellis, because he was
the Regular Democratic Nominee The contest
was not in any manner upon national poll
tics. The issue between the two candidates
was Il purely local one the question being
upon an ad valorem tax upon slaves Cover
nor Ellis being against the tax and Pool for it,
The vote shows the feeling which this ques-
ton aroused through the State. In all the
large slave holding counties the vote of Gov
Ellis is increased, and in the counties where
there Is little or no slavery; there Mr.. Pool
has his majorities.
This subject is well understood in the State
and no man there doubts for a moment that
its vote will be cast for Breckenridge and Lane
in November. So in Kentucky and Missouri
the facts are misrepresented, and statements
made which are entirely at variance with the
truth. In Missouri two candidates are rum
ming, and many support the first nominated
candidate, who is q. friend of Douglas, who
at the Presidential election will give their
votes for Breckenridge. Among them is SEN
ator Green, who it is well known goes heart
and soul for Breckenridge, while in the con-
test for Governor he has given his support to
the friend of Douglas
Similar facts exist in Kentucky and no
well informed man in that state believes the
election Of Clerk of the Court of Appeals is
any indication of the vote of the State on the
Presidential question. The shouting of the
opposition hosts is only to cover up their fears
and to confuse the Democratic party. Ken
| lucky is as safe for Breckenridge as North
Carolina, even if the Douglas men should
unite with the Know-Nothings there, as they
did in the late election in the latter State
Let our friends stand firm, and pay no atten-
ton to the Interpretations and msstatc-
ments with which the opposition papers
/ abound

THE DEMOCRATIC CONTENTION, which assem-
bled here on Saturday last, the proceedings
OF which we publish in another column of
to-day's paper, was attended by delegates
from each district, and every portion of the
county. We were pleased to witness the ge-
neral harmony and unity of sentiment which
prevailed among our Democratic friends, at
tending the convention, upon the very inte-
resting questions which have in some sections
of the country caused so much diversity of
opinion in the Democratic party.
Indeed, so united and harmonious are our
friends in the present crisis, that we may say
the Democratic party Of Montgomery county
is almost a unit for BREcKINRIDGE and LANE.
True, here and there, we occasionally meet
with a Douglas man, Demo crat, who thinks
Mr.. Douglas is the rightful nominee Of the
Democratic National Convention, and who
therefore, feels bound to cast his vote for him /;
but they are few-indeed, very few.
THE resolution which passed the convention,
by unanimous vote ratifyng and endorsing
the nomination of BnEcKINRIDGE and LANE,
and declaring that the principles they repre-
sent are such only as will maintain the
Equality of the States under the Constitu-
ton, and thereby perpetuatc the Union, will
be responded to by the Democracy Of this
county with great enthusiasm and harmony.
The convention also unanimously passed a
resolution declaring that Mr.. Miles, one Of
the delegates from this Congressional District
to the National Democratic Convention, by
his support of Mr.. Douglas, and what is known
as the minority platform, " did not properly
represent the Democratic party Of Montgome-
ry county This resolution only declares a
fact well known to every person in the. coun-
ty, and is couched IN language mild and eour-
teous to Mr. NJ 1t was due to the delegates
who represented this county in the convention
which sent Mr.. Miles TO Charleston, and those
who voted for him, and above all, to the
Democracy of Montgomery, that the represent
tatives of the party, in the first meeting held
since the Charleston Convention, should de-
clare at least their disapprobation Of the
course of Mr.. NJ.
After the business for which the convention
assembled was completed the Hon. !. /. STE
VEINS addressed large assembly Of the people
in the Court-House, in an eloquent and able
review of the political questions Of the day
We have received a copy Of his speech, and
will publish it next week.

THE COMMISSIONERS OF PunLIo WORKS accom-
panied by some Of the Directors in the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad and Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal Company, and number of dis
tinguishcd gentlemen from different sections
Of the State, left Baltimore in a special car,
on the oath ultimo, for the purpose of inspect
ing the line Of the Road and portion of the
Canal. The party were handsomely enter
tanned at Cumberland, by Col. ALFRED !SpArEs,
one of the Board Of Directors Of the canal, and
a native Of old Montgomery and from some
remarks made by Mr.. RoBERTs, Commission
er Of Public Works, we have no doubt that
the subject of an increase Of tolls upon the
canal is engaging the attention of those who
have this work under their charge. Indeed,
a call has been made for a public meeting, to
be held in Cumberland, on to-day, for the
purpose Of taking into consideration measures
to prevent an increase of tolls upon the ca
nal.
The Western portion Of our county is very
much interested in whatever affects the canal
many Of our people find employment in its
management, and very many of our farmers
use it in Transporting the product Of their
farms to market, and conveying, in return,
their guano, lime and other fertilizers; other
than this we have an interest and pride in
the ultimate success of this great enterprise,
in which the State has invested millions of
money therefore, We hope that those who
now have the control of the canal, and who
have so recently taken it in charge, will be
slow and cautious to inaugurate new and I'M
tried schemes. Yet, we have confidence in the
present President and Directors we believe
they win do that only which viii advance
the interest and prosperity Of the canal we
are willing to trust them; they have oppor-
tunities of learning the effect Of an increase
of tolls which VIC do not possess. We all
know that, from some cause the canal has
not been able to sustain itself for years; her
debts have been accommodating, and her credit
gone; the lock-tenders and laborers have not
received theirpay-somc for more than year
past. Whose fault that this is, or why it so,
we have not the means Of knowing, and are
not, therefore, capable Of suggesting aremedy
We therefore rely upon the honesty, integrity
and ability Of the present Board Of Directors
to devise such means as will advance the in
terest Of the canal and extricate her from
her present embarrassment.
