IS now offered thcm-and, by the result in
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, demanded Of

all their professions are not hollow and empty,
but that real patriotism prompts the surrender

The devotion to the Union of these States,
ON the part Of the Beil.Everett party,
is all affected for party SUCCESS, and no.
really entertained by those immaculate patriots.
Did this party really entertain the love for the
Union they have so batantly proclaimed, they
would not continue to divide the South by the
candidacy Of John Bell A united South,
without party divisions would enable the con-
servati"cs At The North to rally around the flag
of the Union and equal rights, borne by John
G. Breckinridgc and Joseph Lane Such a
union, we believe, would enable that patriotic
band OF Northern Zen who acknowledge the
equality Of the States to defeat Lincoln, and
preserve the Union; but should Lincoln be
elected over II united South, the fact Of there
being no division in public sentiment ut the
South would deter his party from those acts Of
aggression which the division Of the South by
the Bell-Eserclt party now actually invite
The candidacy of John Bell has encouraged
the Black Republicans, by dividing the South,
and by inducing the Northern Aboitionists to
believe that at the South, among the friends Of
John Bell, there are men who would give up their
negroes before they would dissolve the Union.
The very name Of Union Party gave hope and
strength to the Black Republican party, by in
ducng the belief that divided South could
never resist n united North The supporters
of John Bell will not only be responsible for
Lincoln's election, but justly chargeablc
with al the trouble that will inevitably
follow his election They are practical
diSuniOnstS, in that they encourage the
Northern faue!ics TO pursue their aggrcs-
sions, under the belief that the South is divided.
The politicians that have John Bell in tow will
not permit his withdrawal, because many Of
them look for place anu plunder under Lin
coin. They are running the Union machine
for Lncolns cecton-they are dividing the
South and uniting the North, as the Dell men
did in Pennsylvania in voting for Curtain
We have the word Of the Richmond "Whig,"
that fusion between Bell and Everett and
Black Rcpublicanism was made at the late
election In the issue Of that paper Of Octo-
Der 18th, it says:
"pENAsYLvANIA ELECTION. Cincinnati
Enquirer calls attention to some important
facts in conncxion with the recent Pcnnsylva-
MIA election. II states what is true, that Cur
tain, who has just been elected Governor Of
Pennsylvania, was not nominated by a Repub-
lican Convention, but by an organization which
called itself the peoples party, which embraced
not only Republican, but n large proportion
Of tie Bell and ErereN men. lie was aomi-
aated, indeed, as the candidate Of all the Bell
and EtereU men as reU as the Republicans"
bel Geen the Bell und Everett men and the Re-
publicans, and that too in mn election one month
before the Presidential election, and which will
give an irresistible impetus TO Black Republ-
canisln. What folly 10 consider this party as
Union men, who coalc5ce with Black Republl-
cans i'll such an important State election as that
Of Pennsylvania
They unite with Black Republicans at the
North, giving material and moral aid to the
worst enemies Of the Union, while they create
division and discord ut the South. The "Whig'
pretcnds to expect Bell and Everett men, who
voted for Curtain to come tu another fusion with
Douglas. Our contemporary adds:
''IF union is now made between the two
national (:) parties upon one electoral ticket
which is understood and expected Will be the
case, Lincoln will doubtless lose Pennsylvania
by large majority. Thirty thousand majority
can he given against him In Phlladeiphla
alone The vote for Fremont in 1906,
WAS but l47,OO0 in Pennsylvania, while the
Buchanan and Fillmore parties received over
300, 900 votes 1t is not possible for Lincoln
10 carry Pennsylvania, if the efforts which are
making for cordial union Of Douglas and
and johnson and Bell and Everett men, upon
4 common electoral ticket, succeed, which we
have no doubt will be the case. The Republi-
cans arc in great danger Of being too sangulne
of CARRYING Pennsylvania for Lincoln, on ae-
count OF their ignorance Of these facts.
Then our neighbor should never have made
these fact" public; but by Withdrawing Bell
and Everett in favor of Douglas and Johnson,
have effected "a cordial union"
Why the Bell and Everett men of Pennsyl-
ya,a should abandon in November party
theY made successful in October, we arc una
bic to understand. No man believes they will.
Lincoln will get in November the vote Of every
Bell Everett man who voted (or.hin in October.
The trcachcry nr the Bcll-Ererett men OF
Pennsylvania to the Southern Douglas men, IS
in perfect keeping with their policy in
this remarkable canvass. They joined the
Republicans in Pennsylvania 10 elect Lin.

encouraging Douglas men to divide the De-
mocracy, in order the more surely to
effect the same end. Blind, indeed, must be
tho friend of Douglas who does not see the et'
feet of his vote at the South, nttcr this fusion
in Pennsylvania
The division Of the vote al the South tends
to dissolve the Union, and, whether so designed
or not will be equally fatal to the peace of the
country. The aggressive policy Of the Black
Republicans can only be checked by the united
South. The covert act" invited by dlscorc
