part in lessening the number of our friends in that
section of the Union, and in bringing the country
TO Its present deplorable condition. In view OF
our own policy-or rather the policy of the Demo-
cratic majority-hoW can we expect different
state of things?
| Never before has there been q more striking
exhibition Of this ingratitude and fatal policy than
the course Of the seeding wing Of the Democratic
party IN the pending Presidential contest. The
Union ticket happens to be a lion in the path Of
this party, and straightway all the batteries of
| Vituperation and detraction are opened upon the
noble statesmen who compose it. John Bell, q
southern man, and large stakeholder, is shame
lessly denounced as untrue to the South, and q
| sympathizer with her enemies. The men who make
these charges do not In their hearts believe them,
and we rejoice to see that the sander is recoiing
upon the heads of its authors Mr.. Everett though,
being Northern man, and less known to the un-
lettered masses of the Southern people, has come
in for still larger share Of partisan yindctive-
ness and abuse. This great and upright man,
whom every American should be proud to call
his countryman, is denounced an Abolition
ist,' fanatic and traitor and mercilessy held
up to the and hatred of the Southern people.
What shame upon humanity itself?
| PATRIOTIC SuGaEsr1os.- New York Herald,
in noticing the withdrawal of Gen. Houston, says
" 1t will be well if the other two candidates Breck-
inridge and Douglas, would follow his example and
withdraw in favor of Bell who by uniting the con-
seryative elements of all parties, might be enabled
to meet the issue with certainty of success"
| Hon. W. R. Smith IN THE FIELD FOR BELL AND
EvEREfT.-We are delighted to be able to an
nounce, says the Mobile Advertiser, that Hon. w.
R. Smith of Tuscaloosa nvincible Billy Smith,
who had the honor of soundy beating the Hon.
Mr.. Erwin, Of Greene, president Of the Richmond
Secession Congention) for Congress-has at length
taken the stump for Bell and Everett, and is making
the " fur fy'' from the Breckites. Mr.. Smith ex-
planned, in speech recently made at Sumter, that
his position in this canvass has been taken after
deliberate reflection, and after weighing as well as
he was able the chances to defeat Lincoln, and he
is Of opinion that the best thing that can be done
is for every to fall into ranks and support Bell
and Everett.
| DEMOCRATIC GAINS IN OBro.-In the State the
| Republican majority is about nine thousand in
1876, in the Presidential election, the Republican
! majority was sixteen thousand six hundred and
twentythree; and in 1858, in the contest for Su
/ preme Judge, it was twenty thousand three hun
| dred and forty -four--hence, the Democratic gain
/ in two years is about eleven thousand.
| In 1928, when Jackson was candidate for the
Presidency the 0ctoberlocal electonsin in the state
were largely against the old hero, but in November
/ he obtained the electoral vote of the State. The
| Democracy hope for the same result in regard tt
/ Judge Douglas in this canvass, and not withou
| reason.
| In the Fourth Congressional District VIM. Allen'
majority is eight hundred and eighteenth 1858 j
was one hundred and eighty yseven-a gain in two
years of six hundred and thirty one in the district
In the Sixth Congressional District Chiffon "A
/ Whites majority is two thousand three hundred
and six. The Democratic majority in 1858 wa:
eight hundred and seyentya gain of four hundred
and thirysix in two years in the district. In the
j Twelfth District S. S. Coxs majority is eight hun
dred and eighty three. In 1858 it was six hundred
and forty-seven--a gain of two hundred and thirty
| six in two years in the district.

Congress, but we have not the full vote before us
1t will thus be seen that the Democracy of OhiC
have done well, notwithstanding the obstacle
which they had to encounter; and the victorie
which they have achieved will doubtless ineit
them to renewed activity and vigor in the Presi
4 dental canvass. The hopes and sympathies O
conservative men are with them.

New England State, which so gallantly triumphe
over Repubcanism in the last spring election, no,
concentrating her conservative strength for
grand victory on Presidential Electors. Her Ant
Republican voters have nobly combined in tn
presentation of an Electoral ticket composed @
the very first men in the State, and we trust as
have every reason to believe that they will give t.
it an efficient and successful support in November
