Two candidates for the French mission
were urged upon President Buchanan by
influential members Of the Democratic
party. One was Northorner, tho other
Southern; the one was a renegade Free
soler, the other renegade Abolitiunist,
Of the darkest dye; tho one was Union
man, the other an avowed aud shameless
advocate Of the modern doctrine ihat, II
the Democrats are beaten in the n9xt
Presidential election it will be their right
and their duty to destroy the Union. seize
upon the public buildings aud archives ut
Washington, and plunge the coantry into
civil war; the one was John A. Dix of
New York, the other Charles Jumea
Fuulkn ner of Virginia.
These men are alike faithful to the
party, each wus submissive TO all its be-
hests; each ready 10 violate NJ ts order
what had once been his earnest conVic-
tons. IfHnything, the Now Yorker had
most disgraced himself in It's service, for
his Free Soilism was of more recent
date, and his apostacy more sudden and
shameless than that OF the quondam Abo-
| litionist Of Virginia. In point Of ability
and fitness Tor the duties Of the office,
the New Yorker was uotoriOusly much
superior TO the Virginian.
And yet the President rejected Mr.
Dix and chose the Southerner. Why
was thisl
Tho reason was that the Virginian was
a Disunionist, and that his claims were
supported by that powerful body Of South
orn Disunionists who now control the
Democratic party, ike Dictators.
For the same reason Mr.. Faulkner
was confirmed by the Senate, even those
few Northern Democratic Senators who
would have preferred 10 vote for Mr. Dix,
/ giving him their support. They did not
dare to vote against Disunionist.
We commend these simple facts to the
Democrats yet remaining In the NORTH
If they wish to be recognized by the in
exorable ruling power as citizens Of the
Republic, LEI them too turn Disunionsts.
We dare say If g On. Dix will attend few
so-callod Union meetings, and declare
himself Justify for the doctrine of destroy
ing the Union in case his party should be
defeated at the next election, he toe may
Iyet be nominated and confirmed to some
Office, il there is one that a Virginia Dis
uniOnist does not want.
And, American freemen, we commend
these facts 10 you. Is il not tine that
this corrupt and reasonable party, which
has nothing Of Democracy but the name,
was hurled from power, and broken in
pieces loreyer.-N. Y. Tribune.

WHO ARE THE TRAIroRsl--It will be
observed by the proceedings Of the Uni-
ted States Sennte that the Democrats
huVe formally endorsed the position taken
by Gov. Wise and Mr.. Faulkner, that
the election Of a Republican President
would justify "the seizure Of HarpeT's
Ferry Armory'' and armed resistance to
the Federal Government. This they
have done by confirming Mr. Faulkner
as Minister 10 France. The issue was
distinctly made, and several Democratic
Senators made speeches sustaining Mr.,
Faulkner's views, aud declaring their
concurrence In them. We are gratlhod
TO sec that the Republicans were all on
] the side ofthe Union, Law and ORDER
Hereafter, let it be remembered IN the
Democrats have recorded themselves In
faVer Of committing the same crime for
which John Brown was hung, and in fa-
yor Of armed resistance to the will Of the

EDIOTRs PATRIOT To-day we have had a
large crowd here, it being the first day of our
Circuit and County Courts. The people
seemed anxious to have speaking. In fact
there is general spirit of inquiry and inves-
legation among the masses, more than have
ever before observed in Presidential con-
test, and 1 have been noticing these events
since 1914.
Alter dinner the people thronged our Court
House, and the speaking was opened by Col.
L Tillman, who spoke to very attentive
audience for near two hours. Mr.. Robert
Matthews then spoke about the same length
of time; and alter he had spoken Mr.. Carragan
CORNER edisoF of the Constitutionalist) address
ed the people about an hour. Each of the
gentlemen are fair speakers, and though not
greatly experienced in public speaking, gave
their respective party friends general satis=
faction.
The first speaker, as you are aware, is for
Bell and Everett, the second is for Breckin-
ridge and Lane, and the third is for Douglas
and johnson.
If had time. would like to give you the
points in each. Fhe people who thronged
the Courtroom gave, as a general thing, an
attentive hearing to all the speakers. The
Douglas speaker not at all satisfied
with the structures of the Breckenridge de-
claimerand bis party associates. The Brock
inridge speaker did not stay to hear the
DOuglasile, and the DOuglasite frequently
regrl tied his absence, as he several times
wished to introduce him as a witness. will
not say which of the two got the better of it,
as L don't like either wings of the disbanded
Democracy. Each of them frequently called
down the applause OF the assembly.
The cause of the Constitution and the
Union" seemed most consonant to the large
crowd assembled to-day, and the sentiments
of Col. Tillman's speech in behalf of Bell aud
Everett, as the only National ticket standing
any chance of success was received with calm
reflection by the large crowd assembled, and
his appeals in behalf of the Constitution and
the Union and his depreciation of sectional
ism and disunion met with hearty response

L1NtHbIhSs v d.. aug. Sth; low
EpIToRs PATRIOT Yesterday was great
rejoicing among the friends of the Union
ticket. in Ibis city and county Early in the
day the Hotels and streets indicated that
there was large crowd gathering to ratify
the nominations of Bell and Everett at
about P. NJ, large and enthusiastic crowd
gathered al the Market House to witness and
aid in raising a Bell and Everett National
Flag. but in consequence of heavy rain,
and the breaking of the small end of the
poll, it was deferred for the evening. Not
withstanding the rain, at about O'Clock the
crowd assembled in Holcome Hall. the meet
ing was called to order, F. B. Dean, Jr.. Esq,
in the Chair; and on motion, John NJ. Speed
was chosen President of the Club, fifteen Vice
Presidents, Alex. Mcdonald, Secretary, Sam
Tyree, Treasurer, and four Corresponding
Seci etaries. The nomination of Bell and
Everett by the Union Convention at Balti-
more was endorsed, and the electoral vote of
the State promised in November. In the GAL
lery was placed a fine band of music, from its
sweet rotes, the patriotism of the old Wings
and conservative democrats seemed doubly
aroused, and amid deafening shouts and APP
plause for the Hon. Thos. S. Flournoy, he ap-
peared, and after quiet was restored, he de-
liVered one OF the most powerful and effec-
tive speeches, it was ever my good fortune 10
hear, endorsing Bell and Everett and pledg-
ing his support TO the day of election. After
the conclusion of his speech, the gallant VIM.
l.. Goggin was called out, who made tel
ling speech for Bell of over an hour in
length, in his happiest style; after which, Col.
Far.ar, of Amelia county, was introduced
who, in a pleasing and eloquent manner,
eulogized our great standard bearers, Bell
and Everett, and with picture of the direful
results to the country in the event of the
success of the secessiOnists closed the meet
ing at late hour. Several other distinguish
ed speakers were present who have enlisted
for the canvass, but in consequence OF the
lateness of The hour did not appear. All
agree that Virginia will now break the fet-
tiers that have so long bound her political
servitude and give to John Bell, of Tennes-
see, her maiden vote by $4,000. Such is the
feeling in the Old Dominion, every man is at
his post, and in November you will hear their
shouts sounding loudly, Our Union is safe !!
Our Union is safe Yours, &C.,

In 1874, the democratic party in Tennes-
see revived against HENRY CLAY the old
charge of ''bargain, intrigue, and cOrrup-
tion," aud pressed it with all the power of
which they were capable. Throughout the
whole of the long and exciting Presidential
canvass, their speakers hurled the charge
from every stump, and their newspaper Or
gans rang the changes upon it incessantly.
To believe them HENRY CLAY had sold the
Presidency to JOHN QUINCY ADAMS for the
position of Secretary of State; and Gen.
JACKSON was thus, by corrupt management.
defeated, and the will of the people trampled
in the dust. JOHN BELL, at the earliest mo-
ment in the canvass, took the field in behalf
of Kentucky's great statesman, and from one
extreme of the State to the other defended
him from the cruel and vindictiye charge.
No man did more to salty the people that
the charge was unfoundcd, and that atone
ment was due to Mr.. CLAY for the injustice
he had suffered, and which the democracy
were endeayoring to perpetrate. The noble
Wing party, responding to his appeals, car
ried the State for Mr.. CLAY, and thus put Ten
NEsSEE's seal of condemnation upou the vile
calumny persisted in by his democrat ma.
ligners
Mr.. BELL is now a candidate for the Presi-
dency, and what do we behold? His and Mr..
GAYS old enemies making war upon him
for his successful defence of Mr. CLAY? That
would have been natural, but it not what we
behold. The lifelong enemies and calumni-
ators of Mr.. CLAY are perpetrating the alb
surdity OF holding Mr.. BELL up for condem-
nation as guilty of the uuexampled baseness
which characterized their conduct towards
the immortal Kentuckian. They indiet him
as one OF those Of whose attempted To foster
obloquy upon Mr.. CLAY for supporting Mr.
ADAMS in preference to Gen. JACKSON. The
political annals of the State do not furnish
a parallel to the impudence, not to saw
atrocity, of this maneuvre. If there be one
man in the State, inclined TO support Mr..
BELL, who can be swsyed by such a trick.
we have no appeal to make to him. Let him
go. Nature has been too chary in her gifts
90 render his association desirable. He be-
longs naturally to the race OF miserable
dupes who have been led by the noses by ia
triguing democratic leaders for years; and
We would not have him change quarters.

The War of the Factions on MIR. Bell.

II is understood that several o. the leaders
of the BREckINRIDGE-YANCEY democratic sec
tionalists of this State met recently in this
city, and agreed upon plan of the cam
paign. We are Informed that one OF the
points agreed upon was to charge Mr.. BELL
with being unsOund on the slavery question,
and by constant and persistent repetition OF
the charge, in the face of all denials, and
proofs to the contrary, to impress the people
if possible with the belief that he Is identi-
fed with the abolitiOnists, and will not do TO
be trusted by the South. 1t was this view OF
policy which prompted Gov. HARRIS to as
sail Mr.. BELLS record as he did in his late
speech at Woodbury.; and which governs Mr.
WHITTHoENE in the discussions he is now en-
gagged in. The BRECKINRIDGE-1ANCEY sec
tionalists will, we suspect, pursue this policy
in all the Southern States. Mr. YANCET,
himself, was one of the first to adopt it.
Whilst this game is being played in the
South, what do we see in the North! Why,
there Mr.. BELL is opposed as an ultra pro-
slavery politician. The Tribune, ErsIliHg Post,
and other leading republican journals, selec-
lions from which have been used here to III
lure him as Southern man, are giving prom
inence to those points in his record which
are calculated to arouse against him the pre-
iudice and iIl-win OF Northern men.
1t is by such opposite means that Mr.. BELL
is to be hunted down, South and North, by
the sectiOnalists, neither party have sought
his record for the truth but for the purpose
of torturing it to advance their partisan
ends. Both of them dread the effect of his
conservatism upon the people, and they per-
vert his views to deceive the mi sses who pre-
fer moderation and lore justice. But this is
not time for such party expedients to sue
coed. The use made of the slavery question,
in both sections; in the one, to give strength
to the corrupt democracy; and in the other,
to build up party equally eOrrupt-bOth
dangerous to the peace of the country and
the perpetuity of our institutiOns-has salts
fed the great majority of the necessity of a
change; and the public career OF Mr.. BELL,
his wise statemanshiP, which sought TO mea-
sure equal and exact justice to all, draws
them to him as the leader who is to heal dis
sessions and restore the harmony of the sec
tions. The charge Of abOlitiOuism on the
one hand, and of ultra-prOsIavery on the
ether, will not prevent this desirable result

An Important Railroad Connection


In a short time the railroad connection be-
tween this city and Decatur, Ala, will be
unbrOken; the last link in the chain is rap
idly approaching completion. We shall then
have a shorter route TO Memphis the distance
being reduced from 3S5 to 308 miles. We
shall also be IL miles near New Orleans.
The importance of this route to our city can
not be too highly appreciated. As an indi-
cation of the advantages which it offers to
Nashville, we may mention the facts that the
passenger receipts on the Memphis and
Charleston road for the fiscal year ending
June 80, amounted to $4,000, half of
which was from through travel. That por-
ton of The through travel destined for North
ern and Eastern Cities, will naturally seek
this route, if it consumes no more time than
other routes. But, we are assured that 1t is
intended to keep up close connections and
rate of speed upon it, that will make it the
shortest route, in point of time; and thus
place it in the van of all competition. There
is no better or safer road in the United States
than the Memphis and Charleston railroad,
and the line from Decatur TO this point,
when it becomes solid from use will not be
inferior. 1t behooTes,Nashville to be on the
alert, aud TO make every necessary exer-
tons 10 secure the the advantages of this
route. The Memphis and GAINESVILLE road
is approaching completion, and when COM
pleted wiil be formidable road. Its friends
are already Boosting that it will change the
current OF travel, and dry Nashville up"
but that is mores easily spoken than done.
The line to Memphis by Decatur will make
such time as will prove this fact to be alto
gether idle.
