POLITICAL ITEMS.

SrRAws Snow now THE WIND BLows-A few days
SINCE party of some thrty6ve gentlemen were assem-
bed in the neghborhood of Gloucester, TO enjoy the
pleasures of clam bake. No reference to politics what
ever was had in the selection Of the pary but only TO
their cam-bake-ca qualities; but taking the solid
sense of the meeting it appeared that all but two were
for Bell aud Everett-BostoH Courier.
SOUTHERN GEoRGIAN-Rev. George Bright, who pur-
chased this paper two three months ago and who
changed it IRON political to religious paper has sold
out to Mr. James l. Reynolds. Mr.. Reynolds makes his
bow in very neat and appropriate aluatory, and an
nouuces his intention to support Bell aud Everett in the
following language:
I'VE shall advocate the election Of Bell and Everett to
the Presidency Of the United States feeling that the duty
of every lover Of the Union and the equality Of the
States North and South is plain aud uumistakabe in
the present crisis of public Affairs, that after careful
survey of the several political organizations in the
political the man who is open TO conviction cannot
fail decide in their favor"-La Grange (Gd) Reporter.

Bell and Everett In Arkansas.

The Arkansas State Gazette says that from the West
ern part Of the State heretofore the stronghold of the
Democracy i, has the most cheering accounts Of the
Union cause. Hon. David Walker one Of the truest
purest and most eloquent in the State, has taken
the field for Bell and Everett and his efforts have had
very telling effect Gen. Thomson, Union ElectOr, il
ont with lis, Of appointments He is one of the best
speakers in the country and DisunOnism will fly or fall
before him. In the hands of Walker and Thomson and
Spring and Guner and Bedford and other good and true
men, the Uuion banner in theIwes will waive high,ir
victory over all Disunion opposition.
We are also in great hopes that Mr. Cyper the Union
candidate for Congress has beaten Hindman in the FRS
