TberS Is already Bel and Everett, Electoral ticket in
nearly every Northern State. There will be Bell and
Everett Electoral ticket IN every Northern State, with
the single exception perhaps, Of New Hampshire, in a
short time. In New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
Ohio. Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Iowa Wisconsin,
Rhode Island Connecticut, Massachusetts,, Vermont and
Maine electoral tickets for Bell and Everett already
in the field The last news from California shows that
there will soon be Bel and Everett ticket in that State;
aud 50 also We have good 70 believe, in regard
10 Oregon In word there cannot be, At the outside,
more than two or three Northern States, in which there
will be no Bel and Everett electoral ticket We are OF
the opinion from facts within knowledge, that there
will DE An electoral ticket in az Of them, long before the
day Of election.
How different the condition Of things now from what
ii was four years sgoi AZ thartime Mr. Fillmore had
no electoral tickets in more than half OF the Northern
States Such we're the intense agitation and excite
.pt prevailing At the North four year ago, and pro-
ded BY the repeal Of the Missouri Compromise and the
cb,stisenent OF Sumner by Brooks that the people Of
the North seemed TO have abandoned their reason, and
welded entirely TO the Wild and reckless sway OF passion
The Northern people AZ that time, stirred up and
x,sperated beyond measure aud the canvass was the
most enthusiastic aud exciting ever known in that IT.

The North aud carry every Northern electoral vote
There vas zeal and an enthusiasm displayed in his be-
half throughout the canvass, which has never been
witnessed 10 he Northern States, and which Northern

his-trigmphan: election by the people
But look at the condition Of things a. the North uoE
Is there such agitation there prevailed four years ago
l. there such deep and universal excitement and enthu-

throughout NJ the Northern States. The nomination OF
lincoln has evidently been received with cOdness by all
nd .ith positive aversion by large number Of those
VII, slppor,ed Fremont There is no enthusiasm what
ever in behalf Of Liucolns election; and the Republican
organs are bitterly complaining that the people in that
s.etiou-that IS the Republican people-seem to take
Lei, or no interest in the result OF the present contest
And us bslieye n Is true We believe that thousands
and tens of thousands OF those who supported Fremont
have abandoned the Republican party, and gone over to
either Bel or Douglas We believe furthermore, that
tbsr Is no chance for the election Of Lincoln by the peo
VII, unless the reud Of Breckenridge At the North are
determined to vote indirectly for him by continuing
B7scknridge electoral tickets in the field We Incline
indeed 10 the belief that Lincoln can and will be de-
tented in spe Of the aid and comfort given him by the
friends of Breckenridge But should unfortunately
mistaken in this. and Lincoln should be elected he
t rs,sons5ility Of his election rH rest upon BRICK

authority Of the Lynchbug Repu5leaH for saying SHAT

WHY. then, keep Breckenridge in the held' Nobody
Inn eonsummate fool believes that be stands the slight

Bel can be elected and he be elected BY the PeO-
h if the southern States will sustain him in body as
II IA tbeir duty 10 DO. All that Is necessary to secure
enough Northern 10 elect him, Is TO assure the
Northern people thai the Southern States viii vote for
bin. We can indeed assure them, and we do assure
chem tha. Bel will certainly carry twelve out Of the If
teen Southern States and honestly believe that he
iii carry every one Of them With the single exception Of
South Carolina and even South Carolinas vote Will be
given TO him if her vote can elect him.
Va call uDon III Northern friends therefore TO molly
ry 10 the rescue and carry At least hity-tro North
m electoral votes for Bell and Eser7tt and thus ensure
their election by the people, Fifty Northern electoral
vote. viii make their election by the people in ourjudg-
nen aJlolislg esrtrR-fOr Breckinridge cannot pos
siby obtain, according 10 present indications, more
than eighteen Southern electoral votes and do not
believe he will get the half Of that number.
To the rescue, then, you gallant and devoted Union
men Of the North, and al viii be vel.
