THE Baltimore Patriot has a detailed sur
vey of the prospects of the Bell and Everett
ticket at the South, which does not present
a very cheering conclusion. 1t seems to
think that Tennessee and North Carolina
are the only States that can now be safely
set down for the ticket It thinks Della
ware is as likely to go for Lincoln as for
Bell, Douglas or Breckenridge, and that
Missouri is in the same position. In Mary
land everything is uncertain.

.Es- During the past week Hon. o. H. Oates visited us at our sanctum,' where we had small chit chat about old miss poli- tics. He k now candidate for State Sena- tor and like true man has no tears to shed over his course at the last session of the legislature. He voted for our worthy townsman-Sebastian Senator, and would do so again. He opposed the per diem pay, and resigned the speakership be- fore he would sign the certificates of mem bers giving them pay for services they had not rendered. and don't regret his action in the premises. He supported the wise and prudent policy of Gov. Conway, and will continue to do so; and he has and will op- pose the disorganizing course of the self constituted would be old line democrats. In short, he made up his mind at the open ing up of these issues, and made 1t up right, and now he is sure he is right and will go ahead.
 It is the intention of Mr. Oates to can vass this county, and Monday next, the first day of circuit court he will probably address the people in this city on questions which may arise before the next election His course in the last legislature was sane toned by the democracy of Monroe, and it will be by Phillips county. He will make an able and faithful Senator, and serve his constituents with zeal and untiring efforts The old liners have been trying to prevail upon different persons in their ranks to op- pose Mr. Oates, and we hope they may yet succeed in finding one who will yield to their entTeaties. Let them trot him out, and he shall have an open field and fair fght-Helena Note Book

EDITOR TRUE DEMOCRAT
 ,Sir: 1 wish through your columns to say to the democracy of Pope and Johnson counties, that 1t seems to be necessary for me to define the position which 1 occupy before them at the present time.
 Be 1t remembered that in 1856, Pope and Johnson counties met in convention by their delegates for the purpose of nominat- ing candidate to represent them in the State legislature for the ensuing senatorial term.
 In the first convention dissensons arose. but on their second meeting an amicable agreement was effected in committee-as was generally understood (ie) that John son county should have the senator for the first time and Pope the second. Upon which agreement Pope has now proceeded to take action, and in county convention properly gotten up, (eleven out of thirteen townships being represented, as am in- formel, thought proper to make choice of my name for that important station, and in conclusion passed resolution asking the concurrence of Johnson county. And 1t seems to me that it only remains now for Johnson to take action.
 Mir. Editor, we should regret for the seed of discord to be sown in the democratic ranks of the two sister counties in the pre- sent crisis which calls so loudly forharmo. ny and unanimity of action
 Now should Johnson county in her de Alterations concur in the action of Pope. we have no hesitation in believing that such action would be highly appreciated and re- menbered for years hence. But if other. wise it would seem to me that the only le- gitimate mode would be for her to call un primary meetings as Pope has done, and send up delegations from such meetings fairly instructed to convention of the two counties. If 1t be thus honorabiy carried out in that way that should ever character ze the deliberations of the democratic par ty, such convention would meet my ap- probation. If in the result no such meet ing should be holden, not only from the action of Pope but from the repeated solici- tations which l have had from both coun- ties my anticipations are that shall be be- fore the people, and if so l shall endeavor to visit the different parts of both counties so far as circumstances will permit.

 The contrary course would, we believe, be pro- ductlve Of mischievous consequences.
