BELL AND EvERErT-There was great Bell and Ev-
erett ratification meeting at Little Rock, Arkansas on
the 10th The Gazette says it was the largest assem-
bage that had been held 10 Pulaski county since 1856.
There is to be grand ratification meeting Of the
friends of Bell and Everett at St. Louis on Saturday
ming the 9Th of July Tie best talent Of the State is to
be there upon the interesting occasion.
Mississippi--Bell and Eveaet, will receive highly
natterng vote in Mississippi even if it should not be
successful Their friends there rousing themselves,
and intend TO contest every inch of ground. They
have, for the first time, some hope of success The
Natchez Courier contains call numerousy signed for
grand rally on the Sd prox. at that place.
More of Them-We learn from the Mobile Advert
ser that oar more papers of Alabama have hoisted the
Bell and Everett flag. They the Greenvie Messen-
ger Troy American, Tuskegee Republican, and the La
iayette Sentinel.
That sterling old Journal the Tuscaloosa Monitor has
entered the lists with zeal that shows the spirit that Is
abroad for the National candidates. In no Southern
State are the National doing battle in more spirited
manner than in Alabama. They intend to carry the
State for Bell and Everett; and as the Douglas and
Breckenridge about equally divided, there is a
strong probability almost certainty of their doing it.

A CALUMNY REFUTED.

The Washington Star, of Monday contained para
graph stating that lit is rmored in political circles that
Hon j. j. Crittenden had declared his intention of sup
porting Breckenridge aud Lane" The Star adds ''The
reason assigned by the venerable statesman for such &C.
ton is said to be that the National Union Convention
would have selected Mr. Breckenridge their nominee
il they had supposed that the National Democratic Con-
venton would have made the choice and that all
they desired a national, conservative honest man.
all of which requisites he thinks Mr.. Breckenridge pos
sessss"
This is foul and unadulterated calumny. It is an I'M
mitiguted Roorback The Star has been vlely imposed
upon by some evil designed person. who is anxious to
back up the oorn prospects of the suniop candidate
for the Presidency the expense of truth There
was a more complete fasehoOd than this rumOr. 1t is
utterly without foundation and false in every particular
So far from declaring entertaining any intention
support Breckenridge aud Lane, Mr.. Crittenden is al
this moment earnestly, actively aud zeaously devoing
all bis great influence to the Of the Union party Of
which he is the founder, and is giving his best
gies to the promotion Of the OF Bell and Ever
EFT.
Nor is there particle of truth in the statement that
the Union Convention would have chosen Breckenridge
il it had been supposed that he would have been nonns-
ted by the Democratic Convention or any part of it,
Mr.. Breckenridge thought Of candidate OF
that Convention, and could not have secured any sup
port whatever in it, This is manufactured of the
whole CLOTH TO arrest If possible, the detec-
tons from the Democratic party, and the increase of the
ranks OF the Union party in the South. We pronounce
il false in all It's details and trust the journals that
have given it circulation will Rave the honesty
to publish the correcion.-Bait. Clipper.
