rett. In his address to the people Of Geor-
gia, on that occasion, he said Of Mr.. Eve
rett:
""lie was an early, believe the earliest,
and certainly one of the most decided adj
vocates, on the floor of Congress, of the
South, of their exclusive right to deter
mine the question for themselves, when to
the astonishment of the more timid or
more prudent of his Eastern brethren, he
declared his readiness to shoulder his
musket in defence of them"
The Wings of that day, headed by some
of the present Democratic leaders, justili-
ed Mr.. Berricn. Is it possible that any
sensible man can, at the present day be
cheated into the support of the squatter
sovereign and demagogue Douglas, or the
emancipationist Breckenridge, by the re-
vival of a charge made and refuted near
ly twenty years ago? JUSTICE.

1.-THE Grand Council of the United Sons
of America has Endorsed the nomination
of Bell and Everett. This is movement
of vast Importance. The order controls
over sixty thousand votes in the State
These votes, at the last State election,
moved in solid phalanx with the "Peo-
pies party" The action of the Grand
Council withdraws that vote from the
Peoples, or Republican party, and throws
it into hopeless minority. Bell and Ev-
erett clubs are being formed throughout
the State, and the most encouraging indi-
cations are presented of the success there
of the Union ticket"
The Pittsburg Press speaks of the large
increase of the Allegheny Bell and Eve
rett club and the Harrisonburg Patriot
and Union says: "Bell and Everett clubs
are forming all over the State, in quiet,
unostentatious, but very decided manner.
