BELL AND EVERETT IN CINcINNArI.--The Cincin.
matt Enquirer Democratic, thus speaks of the great
Bell and Everett demonstration in that city few
nights ago:
The Bell and Everett demonstration last night
was one of the finest Of the campaign. We must
confess that our calculation az to their strength
has been far too low. We had supposed that at
least onethird Of the Opposition belonged to that
wing; but last night convinced us that this Bell
and Everett party, or the elements of which it is
composed, has heretofore been the drilled and
veteran troops which have borne the brunt of bat
tie, and often cansed the Democracy TO recoil be-
fore their vigorous and enthusiastic onset No
extraordinary preparations had been made for the
meeting, and it was expected, therefore, that it
would be quiet and respectable affair. What was
the surprise of the public, therefore, to of
the largest professions that has ever marched
most enthusiastic meetings ever held in Cincinnati
The Breckenridge Electors in Tennessee declare
that the election of Lincoln will NOT be sufficient
cause for resistance! The Breckites down this
way denounce Mr.. Douglas for saying the same
thing. [Vicksburg Wing.
The proceedings of the Bell and Everett State
Convention in Massachusetts, show that that party
had great strength there On the vote for Governor
ll6S ballots were cast, and 229 towns we're repre-
scented. Amos A. Lawrence was nominated for
Governor, and Hon. Lew Lincoln and Marshall P.
Wilder were chosen Presidential electors. to re-
present the State at large. The Bell men will
probably give $4,000 to 10000 votes in the State,
and if union should be made with the Democrats,
| on one electoral ticket, they would give the Re-
publicans hard run, If they did not beat them.

cheerfully acquiesce II beaten by the election OF
the Black Republican candidates we will not acqui.
