Southern Bell Men Read .

The Black epublicans held a meeting at the
Cooper Institute, New York city, on the 9th ult'
at which speeches were made by MOSES H. GRINNELL'
S. B. CHTTENDEN, THADDEUs STEVENS, and Lieut. Gov.
NOBLE. From the speech of THADDEUs STEVENS we
take the following extract to show our wellmean-
ing friends of tile BELL party South in what light
they are held up to the public gaze in New York
by of the South's enemies. Just see also, what
STEVENS thinks of your candidate for the Presden-
cy Here is the,extract from THADDEus STEVENS
speech, found in the New ork EUening Post of the
2Sth ut.
. Mr.. Stevens in the first place, dwelt at great
length upon the Importance of securing protection
to home industry and quoted from the speeches of
Mr.. Douglas to show that In pennsylvania, where q
protective tariff was called for, he made different
professions from those which elsewhere were given
forth by him.
With regard to Bell and Everett, he had little to
say In only one thing they differed from the Re
publicans. In hostility to modern Democracy they
cordially agreed. Hence, it astonishes me to see
his friends in the free States directing their hostility
against the Republicans and cOalescing with Demo-
Gratis No one is mad enough to suppose that Bell
be elected by theipeope the House Of Representa-
tves If by possibility they could give free State
to Douglas or Breckenridge, it would only send the
election to Congress, where Joe Lane the most unfit
of the whole lot. would be made President. What
would the friends of Bell gain thereby? The ScOrn
of both parties-the favor of none. How different
would it be if Lincoln were elected. His admins
tration cannot be a sectional one, for that would
violate the principles of Republcanism. He must
select portion of his cabinet and many of his office
holders from the South. Where should he go for
them but among the Southern Opposition. No where
could he find safer or truer men. What Republl-
can would object TO such men Bell or Etheridge,
Bolts, Bates, RaynOr, II. Winter Davis. The pro-
tective system has no truer ADLER men than the
Southern Bel men, Why should Northern Bell men
ronage of the Republican administration? The Re
pubcans in the last session Of Congress showed
their freedom from sectional or party bigotry by
giving two of their best offices to men outside the
party to an anti-LecOmptOn Democrat and TO
South American They were elected solely for
their merits, without pledge or condition There
has been no reason to regret the confidence reposed
in them. Why should not the whole opposition in
the North support Lincoln. in the South BelE

The day after County

How Breckenridge Men Voted in Indiana.
For political purposes, says the Louisville Courier,
it is now falsely and wickedy alleged that the friends
of the Administration gave the victory to the Black
Republicans. There are some friends of the Squat
ter candidate however, who have honesty enough
and manliness enough to do justice to friend
of the Constitution and the Union; and it affords ms
great satisfaction by calling attention to these rath
er isolated instances to show that all of the
Douglas leaders can not be cited as evidence of the
truth of the doctrine of total depravity In addition
to an instance or two previously given of this kind
we find the following in the Dayton (O) Empire, one
of the ablest and most respectable DOUGLAS papers
in Ohio
"The Cincinnati Enquirer, day or two since, in an
article referring to the large Republican gain in
Cuyahoga county, said:
1.-The small Breckenridge vote in Ohio as in In
diana, Maine, and Pennsylvania has been given to
Judge BrinkerhOff and the Republican ticket
1--WE know not what the supporters of Mr.. Brock
inridge may have done in other portions of the State
but zee do knou that IN this county and District Brec
irridge men labored earnestly and actively for the sue
cess Of the Democratic State, District, and County
tickets. The vote proves this. And we doubt not
in the event of a Union Electoral ticket, they will
labor as earnestly for its success, any party OF
men possibly can Give us such ticket, and Mont
gomery and the Third District will do their share to-
ward casting the vote of the State against Lincoln

Extracts from our Business CorrespOn-
dents,

Appointment and influential democrat writing from
Camden, says: :" I have been in ten counties and
have inquired diligently, and say to you all,
stronger than ever were before in those coun-
ties, even if Douglas goes on with his rule ruin
policy; it fools no one except few who are really
for Bell. Let the people read and understand and
have no doubt we will carry the State by an in
creased majority"
A friend writing from Thibodeaux, La, says !:
Breckenridge and Lane will carry Louisiana by five
thousand majority. The Bell men here admit that
John Bell has no chance" Douglas is not known
in the race.
A good Democratic neighbor writing for the pa
per at Mt Pelia, says: "Allow to inform you for
the encouragement of the Democracy that Breckin-
ridge and Lane will get the entire Democratic
strength in Weakly End Obon counties, except those
who have followed off the rule or ruin policy of
Douglas and his sympathisers. Bell is losing ground
continually and if Etherdge could only be allowed
to make two or three more of his northern sympa-
thy speeches in each of these counties Bell would
lose half his little flock that have been following the
Bell ringers Breckenridge and Lane are all the rage
here. Send the UNION AND AMERICAN and all
shall yet go right"
An old friend sending to renew his subscription
at new Office in Benton county, says: 81 look upon
| the UNION AND AMERICAN as the best paper pub
sned in the State and it doing noble service in the
good cause Of Democracy. l was at Camden and
heard Whitthorne put Judge Brien to the rout
horse, foot and dragoon. may be partial but do
think the Judge made failure, while Whtthorne
made most decidedly successful speech, appealing
to the understanding and convincing the judgment
of the people, while Judge B. labOred to arouse the
fears by working the credulty of the masses
His raw-head and bloOdy-bOnes-cry of "Yancey and
| DisunOn," wont stand when such array Of facts
and argument is brought up by the gallant Whit.
and you may rest assured Benton county is all right
for Breckenridge and Lane"
4 No. l Democrat, who has 'canvassed every
nook and corner of DeKalb county during the las
three months, informs Jus that he was able by al
possible means in his power, to find but two whole
Democrats in that county who are for Douglas. and
he found two whole souled Opposition men who vii
support Breckenridge and Lane, from principle
while he found quite a number of Bell men who arc
not disposed to vote at ALL
Thus the news comes in from every county in the
State, and also from other States Look out for
stampede from Bell to Breckenridge and Lane.

Simulated Death-4 Remarkable Instance
of Nusnendeh Animation.


The old superstition Of turning in the grave is
not altogether founded in error, but like many pop
alar beliefs, contains germ of truth. Among the
mysterious laws Of our being, which strike the mind
! with wonder and awe, is the continuance of life
under conditions il which it would seem to be inevi-
ably extnguished Often, after nearly ali the usual
signs of animation have disappeared for consider
able time, the patient has Unexpectedly and sudden
| ly revived
Many instances are on record in which, but for
the presence Of an experienced medical man, per
sons affected with cataepsy, hysterla and various
obscure nervous arrangements, would have been
consigned to the most dreadful forms of death by
being buried alive. DR.. Couch gives an interesting
example of this in of his female patients Be
ing summoned in haste to her bedside. remarkable
change in her aspect apparent The attendants
were greatly alarmed, and said she was diving or in
trance. She lay mOtionless and apparently void
OF animation Her eyes were fixed and CLASSY. No
heaving of the chest. no movement Of the air pas
sages indicated respiration The only signs of life
were her warmth and her pulse-thc latter being
very weak
The body beng raised SO as TO form an obtEse
angle with the limbs, her thin and pad frame look
ed like a corpse which had been propped up, and
had stlffened in that attitude. One arm was raised

stood, statue-llke and unconscious with eyes wide
open and arms outsretched the slightest touch put
her off her balance She would have fallen had
she not been supported. This strange life in death
deted all treatment and lasted for fourteen hours
Other attacks followed of twelve and nine hours
duration, after which she recovered BY the use of
suitable restoratives. Such attacks are often of
much longer duration, and if deprived of the aid
and protection OF medical scente this woman would
probably have BEEN in short time invested in her
shroud and would have added one additional victim
to that popular ignorance and indecorous haste
which have so often especially in torrid climates
and IN times OF pestilence, mistaken the temporary
suspension of organic functions for mans last
dread enemy-death.

DOUGLAS AND YANCEY.
The Charleston Courier, of Tuesday, the 10th,
says:
We authorized to state positively and distinct
ly, and on responsible evidence which can be fur
nished to proper demand, that the nomination for
the VicePresidency on the DOUGLAS ticket, was Of
fered to WILLIAM L. YANCEY. of Alabama.
This offer was made through or by GEORGE n
SANDERS, of New York, and with the knowledge of
STEPHEN ARNOLD DoUGLAs, and but few days be-
fore the meeting of the adjourned Convention at
Baltimore.
We respectfully request exchanges interested to
give extensive circulation to this assertion in the
words Of and on the authority Of the Courier, as we
have placed it above, and we demand in justice,
that those who undertake to doubt should put their
negatOn in proper form.
This will be taken as an answer to all who have
questioned US concerning orr former assertion of
the same fact as had not then the distinct evi-
dcnce available, although we were fully convinced
before we first uttered the assertion.

The Speaking Last Night-GOV. johnson
and Judge Nicholson

One of the largest audiences ever assembled in
Odd Fellows Hall, greeted these two distinguished
gentlemen last night The Hall was crowded to its
utmost capacity, and numbers came away who
found it impossible to enter. Gov. johnson spoke
first and all agree that it masterpiece Of con
yincing argument, He spoke like q statesman who
knew the perIls of the hour and anxious to save
the country from ruin. His remarks were kind and
eoncIliatory He urged the necessity of uniting on
Breckenridge, and asserted that all true Democrats
would unite on him, as they could not vote for
Douglas since vote for Douglas equivalent to
supporting John Bell. BE showed that Douglas had
not the most remote possibility of carrying the
State, and that his friends had nothing to lose by
voting for Breckenridge, the Breckenridge elect
Ors would pledge themselves to vote for Douglas if
their votes were necessary to secure his election
over Lincoln.
Upon all the great issues of the day, Gov John
son promu gated the same views which we have
sustained III these columns. His speech was entire
ly satisfactory to his party friends We feel sure
that it gave an impulse to the of breckenridge
and Lane in this city which will grow and
strengthen
On the conclusion of Gov. Johnson's speech Hon.
A. 0. p. Nicholson was loudly called for. Owing to
the lateness of the hour he declined making a reg
ular speech, but made few appropriate remarks
which were loudly aPplauded.- Memphis AUaIanche,

Judge Douglas Coming South TO Make
Speeches in favor of Bell

We have been requested by friend of Judge
Douglas in this city state that he will be here on
Saturday the 27th inst. In making this announce
ment, the question very naturally presents itself,
what is Judge Douglas coming South to make
speeches for? 1t is well known that he has no pos
sible chance of carrying a single Southern State
nay more, that he will not carry majority of votes
III dozen counties in all the South Then, we re-
peat the question what is he coming South to make
speeches for! Why, the answer is plain-he is
coming TO canvass in favor of John Bell. A large
portion of the honest voters in the South who in the
first instance. were.disposed to support Judge Doug
las have become convinced that to support him. I'M
der the circumstances, would be virtually support
ing John Bell and have, consequently determined to
support Mr.. breckenridge; and the mission of Judge
Douglas South, is to try to bring back these honest
Democratic voters to his support. and thereby if
possible, to create sufficient division in the Demo
cratic party South to give the electoral votes of
some Of the States TO Mr.. Bell This is evidently his
object, and it is the object of the Douglas leaders
South. The thing has become 50 evident that they
can deceive nobody unless they willing to be de
ceived.-C Chattanooga Reflector.
