Patriotic Sentiment.
In one of Mr.. Bells latest speeches, we
find the following patriotic sentiment in
which all men ought to concur. "Let
power" said Mr.. Bell, "go into whatever
hands it may, let us save the Union!
trust the day will never come, when it
will be necessary to calculate the value of
the Union. do not believe twill come,
if the scu.' is wise Nsed true to herself
would not have her yield one jot or tit
tie of her rights; but | would have her
make no questionable issues in advance,
stir up no strife upon abstract questions,
but do always what is just and right up
on all questions"
There is the calm utterance of an hon
est man and noble patriot. Will not
the people vote for Bell in preference to
the gentleman of Kentucky
Bay> Since the Lincolnridge men of the
free States have defeated the Douglas
men there, the Breckenridge men of Ten
nessee have hit upon the wise expedicnt
ofurging the Douglas men of this State to
vote for Breckenridge, setting forth the
fact that Douglas stands no chance and
instancing the late elections as proof
This is what we cal. the sublimity of i'm
pudence. After fighting and votingagainst
the Douglas men in the free States, they
ask the Douglas men here to vote with
them, because they are helping in the
North to elect Lincoln. We expect the
Douglas men will all do it: Oh yes; OF
course they will-when they 60 crazy.
P. S.-"John Smith" says he will see
them (dad word) first; and then he wont.
Bully for Sniff.

candidate is also the Breckenridge Elec.
tor for the first Congressional District
In the Chesterfield district, always largely
Democratic, the Breckenridge candidate
is reported elected by Is majority-a loss
of 737 in three counties. The Brecks
have elected their candidate in Fluvanna

Bell men elected Crump, as we said few
| days ago, in Amelia and Nottoway. The
| elections show that Douglas and Breckin-
ridge are nearly tied in Eastern Virginia,
while Douglas it is thought will lead him

SHOWS a loss which if general throughout
the State, will count up 10000 loss TO
Breckenridge. Alas, he stands no sort OF
chance in the Old Dominion, nor any
where else.-Aggusta Chronicle.
LouIsIANA.-A stampede in favor of the
Union, appears to be taking place in Lou

most authentic advices. Breckenridge and
Lane are daily losing ground, while Bell
and Douglas are gaining. Mr.. Breckin.

The Commercial Bulletin" gives the
names of nineteen papers in that State
which have lately declared for Bell and
Everett. This makes twenty -four papers
in Louisiana which support the Union
candidates. .H T..rrn
