it with the intensity of natural aristocrat
and as mounted to one high position after
another by the aid of the votes of that party
was resolved, il l could ever achieve the
Presidency, to give it the final blow. There
fore it is that l cordially agree with you
tonight. In your standard bearer 1 recog-
nize a man whom have always detested,
while l supposed him to be my rival, and
whom 1 now only love because be has COM
sented to be my tool in the great work Of
destroying the only national party. tell
those of you who are listening to me, and
who hold Office under me, that if you do not
assist me in this delightful occupation, you
shall be summarily dismissed and now, my
friends and followers, my servants and sub
ordinates, good night. You will proceed
hence to be addressed by my Secretary of
the Treasury, Howell Cobb, of Georgia
by my beloved friend Col. Florence, of
Pennsylvania by my Secretary of the In
terror, Jacob Thompson, of Mississippi; by
by District Attorney, Mr.. Black, and by all
others who believe that it will be great
deal better to elect Abraham Lincoln than
Stephen A. Douglas. Great sensation.
GOOD AND TRUE.
Hon. Dwight LOOMS, of Connecticut, in
a speech delivered in the House of Repre-
sentatives on the 18th inst, published in
the Globe, says that if funeral sermon
should be required on the official demise of
the present Administration, he would sug-
gest the remarks of Buckeye clergyman
at the grave of parishioner. Said he-as
any man can say on the 4th of March next !:
Il have been begged, importuned and
entreated to preach this sermon, but don't
want to do it. 1 never did like the man. l
never knew nothing good of him. He had
horses, and he run them he had cocks, and
he fit them; he once had money, but he
gambled it all away; be had friends, but
he made them all his enemies. The bearers
will please remove the body; and we will
sing the following hymn:
"'With rapture we delight to see
The cuss removed"
BELL AND EVERETT IN PENNSYLVANIA.
The friends of Bell and Everett are work.
ing with will in Pennsylvania. The Phil
adelphia Evening Journal says:
"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 Peoples party
The action of the Grand Council withdraws
that vote from the Peoples, or Republican
party, and throws it into a hopeless minor
lty. Bell and Everett Clubs are being
formed throughout the state, and the most
encouraging indications are presented of the
success of the Union ticket"
THE YANCBY LETTER-THE PLATFORM OF THE
BOILERS.
The celebrated letter of Mr.. Yancey, the
principal engineer of the boiling movement,
to Mr.. Slaughter, of Alabama, is worth
keeping before the people, at this juncture,
as it constitutes the real platform of the
Breckenridge party:
MONTGOMERY, June 10.
DEAR SIR Your kind favor OF the 18th
is received. 1 hardly agree with you that
q general movement can be made that will
clear out the Augean stable. If the De-
mocracy were overthrown, it would result in
giving place to a greater and hungrier swarm
Of flies. The remedy of the South is not in
such process; it is in diligent organiza-
tion of her true men for prompt resistance
to the next aggression. 1t must come in
the nature of things. No national party
can save us !; no sectional party can ever do
it; but if we could do as our fathers did,
organize committees of safety all over the
cotton States-and it is only in them that
we can hope for an effective mOvement-we
shall fire the Southern heart, instruct the
Southern mind, give courage to each other,
and, at the proper moment, by one organ
lied, concentrated action, we can precipitate
the cotton States into a revolution. The
idea has been shawdowed forth in the South
by Mr.. Rulin, and has been taken up and
recommended in the Advertiser, the Mont
gomery organ of Mr.. Yanceyl under the
name of The League of the United States
Southerners, who, keeping up their old party
relations on all other questions, will hold the
Southern issues paramount, and will inhu-
ence parties, Legislatures and statesmen. I
have no time to enlarge, but to suggest,
merely.
Signed w. L. YANCEY.
