LETTER FROM JOHN BELL.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, July 30, 1860.
To Daniel Sayre Esq Editor Of the Post:
DEAR SIR:-lt Is known to many persons in this Sec
ton OF the State that time since addressed let
ties of il qury to the Hon. John Bell particularly TO
his endorsement OF the American and Wing platform Of
February, 1856 On last Sa urday received his reply,
with which, aud part thereof he sends me extracts
from bis speeches and references TO his votes, touching
the subjects OF inquiry thus announcing the opinions
expressed and indicated in those speeches and votes
Mr. Bell thus distinctly announces, in my judgment,
the following propositions
l. A distinct repudiatcn Of Wilmot Provsoism.
g distinct Reputation Of "Squatter sovereignty" as
long ago as lSiS
s. distinct announcement that the Territories are the
common property ot the States composing the Union
and that the citizens Of each State have the right to 60
into such Territories, with their property of every des
crpon and whilst there to protection to property and
persons
L. That slavery II exists amongst u.s. is cvily,
ally and regiousy right sauctouedby the Constitution
of the United States by the Bible, and by the practice
of meu in all ages and that il ought TO be extended.
The record Of Mr.. Bell running through period Of
than quarter of century gives the strongest as
surance Of his fidelity to the institutions of the South the
land of his BIRTH aud of his love of the Constitution and
Union of our fathers
These opinions of Mr. Bell long entertained and act
ed on in public life afford to OF the South stronger
guaranty against wrong than the sudden announcements
of eleventh hourconveris
am now on the ere of leaving for Texas private
business of Importance and have time TO elaborate.
Very respectfully,

How does it happen that wheat is commanding low

Persecution.

What delicate ard beautiful reproof is
given to.ihe spirit Of persecution in the !ol'
lowing by Benjamin Franklin, written in
Scripture style, and which, though part OF
the Bible, il has been (not very incorrecily)
remarked is almost worthy place in sacred
writ: a.s.rl.d df
s.And It come to pass that Abram sat un-
der the shade Of his vine and fs tree at the
door Of his tent, and it wns noon. And a
wayfaring mon, a stranger, leaning on his
staff, iourneyed that way, and Abrsm arose
end went forth and met him. ond he brought
him into his tent ard gave him water to
wash his feet, and hastened to kill kid Of
the fiock and dress il for rcpast for the
stranger. And when Sari had kneaded un
heaven bread and bsked il upon the hearth,
he pressed the wayfariHg man TO eat. And
.5sbe stranger did eat, without calling ON The
name OF the Lord God to bless him. m
,. And Abrams wrath wns kindled against
the stronger, because he did not call upon
Athe meme Of the Lord, ard he beat the man
and drove him into the wilderness. r.a .
And it wns evening, and the Lord God
called unto sAbrom, saying. Where is the
stranger that soj9urnod with thee to day !
And Abrrm answered and I'D, Lord he did
eat and drink without giving thanks in thy
nsme, and I did beat and drive him forth IN
the wilderness. And the Lord soid unto
Abrom. who hath appointed thee judge be-
tween him and me !! Have borne with his
iniquiiies to these eighty and four years and
could sou not bear with him for one day!
And Abrnm arose rent his garment and
clothed himself in saykcloth. and put ashes
on his head. And he went forth into the
wilderness, and when he had found the man
he brought him to his tent again, and he
washed and annointed his cores, and after
he had treated him kindly he sent him away.

! ing state of mind at the prospects of the
! Union Before the next isiue of the Coar-
ier, says he, "The die will be cast and the

ed forever" He has great horror of po-
litical platforms, (always excepting that Of
his Ol0n partly. As thus:
''Since the adoption of platforms by party
conventions. sectional animosities have con-
tinually hayrassed the people, thousands of
demagOgues have sprung up like mushrooms
upon the body polite, the peace of the.c)untry

ling horrors OF civil war, bl0odshed and
