Hon. William B. Stokes.

From the official report of Mr. Stokes s
speech, as published in the Congressio nal
Globe, We take the following passages, in
which he states the position he assumed
in his canvass in regard to voting for
Speaker;
| took my position in my canvass in
Tennessee openly and decidedly. | came
here by a majority of about four or five
hundred votes l had to overcome a
previous majority of over one thousand
two hundred in my district My district

of about eight hundred | went before
my people and told them that fully and
freely indorsed the principles of the old
Whig party-that | had not surrendered
one of them and that fully and freely

party, The people voted for me and cleo

my vote for all measures, according to my
best judgment, that tend to promote the
great interests of the whole country, with

During my canvass | was asked the
question whether 1 would vote for De-
mocrat or for Republican for Speaker OF
this House. My reply was, that ! would
vote for an Opposition candidate, but that
whenever the contingency arose, and | was
forced to cast my vote between sound
conservative, national Democrat and Re,
publican, that | would vote for such De

Hon. JOHN BELL.--The Trenton Stand


Hon JOHN BELL.--The Trenton Stand
ard puts up the name of John Bell as its
choice for the Presidency, and says
With him as the Union candidate we
may have no fears of defeat He is the
man for the times and the coming crisis.
A man Of his national reputation, his pro
found craftsmanship, his conservative feel
ings--his love of country and national
pride and known patriotism make him
emincntly worthy of the Chief Magistra.
cy of our nation. We are confident, that
in placing the name of Mr. Bell at the
head Of our paper, we reflect the senti-
ments of every reader of the Standard
and all the conservative union loving men
in the State of Tennessee. We have
noticed that the leading Opposition papers
in the State have spoken out in foavor of
this Statesman as the man for the crisis of
1860. The election Of Mr.. Bell to the
Chief Magistracy would be the signal for
the cessation of sectional discord the re-
storation Of confidence and good will be-
tween the North and South, and the re-
turn of that general amity and reciprocity
of intercourse, without which the unpre-
cedent Advancement and prosperity of the
past must give way to d:ssension distrac
tion and ultimately anarchy in the future

THE RESULT OF FANATIcrsM.-W Weundcr-
stand that over one hundred hands have
recently been discharged from one of our
largest manufactures, in consequence Of
orders from the South having been coun-
sermanded. The factory has been in very
extensive business, the major portion Of
which is with the South. IL is also very
probable some tifty.men win have to be dis
charged shortly, Il there is not an end to
the slavery agitation now going on, both

enough to keep them employed even at re-
duccd wages. This factory when in full
operation, furnishes employment to some

Land of the South--imperial land
How proud thy mountains rise
How sweet thy scenes ON every handi
How fair thy covering skies
But not for this--oh, not for these,
love thy fields to roam;
Thou hast a dearer spell TO me-
Thou art my native homel
Thy rivers ron thy liquid wealth,
Unequalled to the sea-
Thy hills and valleys bloom with health,
And green with verdure be;
But not for thy proud ocean streams
Not for thine ocean dome,
Sweet Sunny South, cling to thee
Thou art my native homel
I've stood beneath Italas cline,
Beloved Of tale and song
On Helvyn's hills proud and sublime
Where natures wonders thronE
BY Temples classic sunlit streams,
Where Gods Of old did roam
But ne er have found so fair a land
As thou my native home

Peace sheds oer thee her genial dew,
And Freedoms pinions wave;
Fair science filings her pearls around,
Religion lifts her dome,
These, these endear thee to my heart,
Ny own loved native home
And "heaven's best gift to man. is thinc,
God bless thy rosy girls
Like sylvan flowers they sweetly shine
Their hearts are pure as pearls
And grace and goodness circle them,
Where'er their footsteps roam
How can then, whilst loving them,
Not love my native home?
Land of the South-imperial land
Then here's health to thee;
Long as thy mountain barriers stand,
Mayst thou be blest and freel
Nav dark dsunion's banner ne'er
Wave DER thy fertile loan:
But should it come there's one will die

| HOSTILE LEGIsLATIoN.-Tbe New York
Times endeavors to show that much of the
apprehension felt in the Southern States,
in regard to the present aspects of the sla-
very question, is without any real basis;
and particularly in reference to the at
tempts which have been made in many
Northern States to render the laws of Con
gress imperative, it asserts that the South
will find no such array of hostile legisla-
ton as they have been told exists. Thus:
"Uness we are greatly mistaken, YER
mont is the only State that has passed a
Personal Liberty bill, or taken legislative
steps to defeat the operations of the Flu
gitive Slave Law. In several others, at
tempts to pass such acts have been made,
but have been defeated. In Massachu-
setts such bill was vetoed by the Cover
nor. In New York it was defeated in the
Senate. In Pennsylvania it was also stop
ped in its progress through the Legisla-
ture. In New Hampshire it was voted
down, and similar fate has befallen simi-
lar endeavors in other States. Yet to read
the excited appeals of some of our ultra
Southern journals, one would suppose thu
nearly every Northern State had enacted
the most fearful penalties against every
man who should seek to recover fugitive
under the Federal law of 1885, Resolu-
tions may and probably have passed by
several State Legislatures, expressing
opinions hostile to slavery and to the Flu
gitive Slave Law; but we need not remind
our Southern cotemporares that these re-
solves have no legal validity, and are usu-
ally intended to have no effect beyond in
fuencing some local election
