Press and Tribune says ~ I. 5E. se-
"Quite recently Mr.. Douglas made an
effort tossecure the clerkship of the Har-
spers Ferry Investigating Committee for
his reporter, Sheridan, the same who &C
companied him in his last Illinois cam
paign. Mr.. Sheridan is a good phono-
grapher, and, we doubt not, otherwise
4ualified forthe place. Douglas labored
spersonaHy y with each member of the com
mittee in his behalf, and the result was
that Mr.. Sheridan did not geta single

ga Little Blood should Sprinkle the Pave
ments and Side.WaIks of our Cities.N

The above language, used by John Bell in defend
ing the despicabe cause of defunct Know-Nothing
ism should cause a scOwl of honest indignation tc
mantle the brow of every philanthropIst and states
man. We intend to keep it standing in our columns
that it may blister the eyes and eat TO the vitals OF
those who are new seeking to transfer the foreign
vote to the gnOble purpose of electng the man
that uttered this vile sentiment
And this desire Tor "little blood" from the heart
of the foreigner was expressed short time after
that eventful day. when riots, houseburnings, MUIR
ders and little blood" stained the streets of Lou
sville "A little blood should sprinkle the pave
ments and sidewalks of our cities" John Bell
stands alone in the damning infamY of such decla-
ration. The career of Nothingism, short as it
was is known to have been full of rapine, violence,
cruelty and hatred for the foreigner, but more
execrable or diabocal sentiment was never uttered
by any man belonging to this party which has re-
Gently become ashamed of its misdeeds, and now
seeks to hide its shame under new name. For
eigners! can VOlt vote for the endorser OF Bloody
Monday? Can you aid in giving Tennessee to one
who has encouraged, instlgated and defended Know
Nothingism? We know but few of you are support
ing John Bell but most of you are voting for Ste
phen A. Douglas, thus making yourselves mstru-
mental in giving Tennessee to the man VINO had no
objection to seeing your blood and the blood of your
wives and children trickling along the pavements"
and sidewalks of our cities. Douglas will not re-
ceiye ten Thousand votes in Tennessee. There is
the most remote possibility of his carrying this
State Every VOTE therefore, given to him, is vote
given to John Bell Will foreigners, can they per-
nit their old enemy, the KnOw-Nothings, to use
them as tools for the promotion of John Bell TO the
Presidency? The Democratic party has been your
friend. In that fearful hour, when the red flames
of your burning mansions doomed up like hideous
pillar of fire, you found shelter in the bosom OF the
Democratic party. Is this friendship to be requited
by giving the. electoral vote of Tennessee to Bell?
This you will do by throwing away your votes on
Douglas.-AUdldnche.

AWFUL TRAGEDY-MURDER AND SUICIDE.-On Wed
nesday or Thursday last. near White Plains IN thi;
county, man named Pearson shot and killed hi:
son-in-law, Hughes, and on Sunday last committed
suicide, by shooting himself through the head.
Some of the particulars of the tragic affair, as re-
lated to us are as follows; Hughes kept a small
grocery not far from White Plains: on the day he
was shot, Pearson sent 20 him for quart of liquor
which from some cause, he refused TO send. That
evering, perhaps, some few hours after, Pearson
passed Hughes house, where he was sitting in or
by the door with his wife. Pearson had gun, and
after a very few words had passed. he fired at
Hughes sending five buck shot into his breast from
which he died in a few minutes. Pearson then i'm
mediately fed, but it appears did not leave the
neighborhood and some unsuccessful search had
been mada for him. He had secreted himself in a
swamp where provisions had been carried him by
little son. On Sunday he told his son he was going
TO shoot himself and that he must go home and tell
an older brother and another that when they
heard the gun, they must come to HIM. The little
boy had not got to the house when the gun was
heard, but on telling what he instructed, they
Immediately went to the place and found Pearson
already dead, shot through the head with a bullet,
which had entered by the side of one ear, taking off
part of it, and came out at the other side higher

More Fusion.

While Mr.. DOUGLAS is so Indignantly rejecting a
fusion with BRECKNRIDGE men in the North, he dOes
not seem to hesitate TO join hands with the BELL
men. A correspondent of the Baltimore Patriot,
writing from New York, says:
have been informed from a source in which /
mace implicit confidence, that in Philadelphia the
fusion between the Douglas and Ben parties has
been contaminated The terms are substantially as
follows In the District now represented by n4e
Hon E. Joy Morris, Mr.. Broadhead, the Democratic
candidate il 60 be withdrawn, and the friends OF
Mr.. Bell and the Democrats are to vote Tor Mr.; Fu
er while the Bell candidates in the first third and
fourth districts are be Withdrawn and the entire
Bell party are vote for the Democratic candidates
Such is the revolving programme presented 70 the
lifelong Wings of Philadelphia, which the coFrapt
and subsidized leaders seek to carry out and which
will most certainly fail. Here then is deliberate
attempt TO defeat and sacrifice man who has rep
resented the consolidated Wing district in four Con-
crosses, who was Minister to Naples under Mr.. Fiji
more, and no has entertained solitary pO-
Hueal sentiment inconsistent with old Clay whggery.
Another feature in these negotiations il that the
Bell party throughout the State are to vote for Mr..
Foster. the Democratic candidate for Governor.

This question naturally comes up in the mind 0.
every one who looks at the course and reads the
speeches now being made by Judge Douglas. We
find him everywhere assailing the Administration
and Mr. Breckenridge He has nothing to say against
John Bell nor against his old rival and enemy,
Lincoln With the Know-Nothing candidate, John
Bell he has entered into coalition in various States
and is prepared to do so wherever such coalition
can be made avilable against Mr.. Breckenridge and
his friends With such facts constantly presented,
is it any wonder that the question rs he Demo-
crat" is so often asked! Is it not evident to all
minds that Mr., Douglas is working to divide and de-
stroy the Democratic party? lsitnot an undeniable
fabt that he slows great anxiety to defeat Breckin
ridge while he manifests opposition to the fana
tical Lincoln or the Know-Nething Bell!
Can Southern men, under such circumstances,
give support to Mr. Douglas? Can true Democrats
anywhere aid him in this crusade against the Demo-
cratic party? Can any man be a Democrat who
prefers Ehs election of an open and avowed enemy
to true tried and patriotic Democrat with whom
he may differ in opinion upon sope single point OF
doctrine The question is one that should Be net
honestly and frankly; and if such course be las We
believe it isl utterly inconsistent with true Democ-
raty, then every true Democrat throughout the
country should Indignantly refuse to support any
man who thus proves himself unworthy OF CONT
dence-B Baltimore Republican,,

The divisions in the Democratic party in Arkan
sas, has impressed the Opposition with the belief
that the vote of this young and prosperous State
will be given to Bell. If Douglas and Breckenridge
should divide the Democratic vote of Arkansas
even in that event Bell could not carry the State
The vote for President in 1856, stood: Buchanan
Il 9l2 Fillmore, l0,7S7; Buchanan's majority, H.
l23. That is to say: Buchanan had little more
than twO-thrds of the entire popular vote. There
is no taxing the State from Breckinridge-not even
if the Douglas men should vote the Bell ticket di
rectly-as that would send back many Democrats
to Breckinridge
These facts show that Arkansas is perfectly safe
for Observation-Disclosures.
