The presence Of the Hon. John Bell OF Tennessee in
the city "at this particular mc." has given rise to CON
siderable speculation in political circles Among the
knowing ones Ia said that the projected nomination of
the Union ticket Of Mclean and Bell by the approaching
Union Party Convention Baltimore, has something 70
do with this visit We think very likely and fromthe
fact that the distinguished Senator liz accompanied by
Ms. Bell dare say he will stay in within striking
distance Of Washington until we shan have had the re
port Of the proceedings of this Baltimore Union Party
CoBveDten.
This Union party have three strings their bowHrst
the peace Offering republican party Of the ticket Of
Mclean snd Bell Second the nomination Of Mr.. Douglas
az an mdep nden party candidate in the event Of his
ecton at Charleston in way calculated TO drive him
bis supporters into open rebellion Third the ndepen-
Dent nomination OF General Sam Houston. And thus Il is
much ccrerd upon the action OF the Charleston Conven-
ron.
The ultra Seward republicans in the meantime are
vide awake. They DO not intend 10 be caught mapping
The reolntes offered in the House day, and the vote
thereon touching the prohibition Of slavery al places

ton Of Congress, will serve 20 indicate The
strength and the purposes Of this Seward fac
ton. They will stick to the "irrepressibe con-
hct' at all hazards, uoess the Connecticut election
New Hampshire election they believe that with Seward
and "tte almighty neeer' they sweep tho North.
Hence the violent abolition speech Of Mr. Seigwick, Of
New York. in the House day-a speech scarcely sur.
passed by the most rabd abolition harapgues Beecher
