Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1853-1862, 1860-10-13

The don Henry Winter Davis, of Baltimore, in
his speech in that city on Thursday night declared
that while he intended to support John Bell he
would do nothing to prevent the defeat Of a Demo-
crat by anybody. This, of course, means that Mr..
Davis prefers the election of Mr. Lincoln TO that of
any Democrat; and, indeed he made labored effort
TO show that those who supported Mr. Bell and those
who supported Mr.. Lincoln agreed in nearly every
thing; that 1t was great misfortune that the adhe
rents of those two gentlemen should not act in con-
cert. He says:
Whose fault is this? shall not stop TO inquire
Whose misfortune! That of all of us! There are
those who seek to widen this division. There are
others who know that no opposition Administration
can be powerful. enduring and national unless it
combines both these elements in its support. If Mr..
Lincoln shall be President how can he carry the
Government without the support Of the opposition
representatives from the South in the Senate and in
the Lower House? II John Bell be President how
can he carry on the Government with only twenty
three members in the House, and with two Senators
to support him? Agreeing upon eUeTy measure u

tell me?'
Having convinced himself that there is really very
little, If any, difference between the Black Repub-
cans and the adherents of John Bell he asserts that
the great object to be struggled for is the
obiteration OF the lines Of demarcation between
the two parties, and s. bring tOgethermen who think
alike upon the great public interests of the country
He will not join in the cIamOr which has been raised
against the Republican party. because he tells he
knows it 10 be baseless. He tells his Bell friends
that the statement that there is at the North party
hostile 70 the interest of the South is msrepre-
sentaton. and that they who attempt to excite the
people of the South against their Black Republican
brethren do it from no patriotic motive. The only
object worthy the exertOns OF patriot according
Mr.. Davis, is TO defeat the Democracy at any and
all hazards
Mr. Davis declares he has no fears for the safety
of the Union in the event Of the election of Lincoln
in effect he informed his hearers that it his de-
sire to see him elected He deprecated in the
strongest manner throwing the election in the House
and as the only hope Of the honest supporters of
John Bell is 10 throw the election in the House,
where they think there possibility that he may
be elected by combination OF parties the inference
to be drawn from this position IOf Dir. Davis Is
that he wishes the Black Republicans to triumph.
The audience were told that there was an agree
in principle and policy, between the friends Of
Lincoln and the friends of Bell. In order that the
Southern Opposition may the position they have
been made to occupy by their Baltimore champion,
we make few extracts from the avOwed opinions
of the leaders of the Republican party. They have
acknowledged right TO speak for their party, and

Mr.. Elizur Wright, prominent Republican of
New England defends John A Andrews, the Repub-
can candidate for Governor Of Massachusetts, and
says:
In my opinion. John Bro,cn lcas gLoriousy right
in lChdt he did at HuperS ErTy; and if he erred at
ali, he erred by being too tender-hearted and too
much afraid of shedding innocent blood
Mr.. Seward declares there is an irrepressibe con-
fict between freedom and slavery, and Mr.. Lincoln,
the standard-bearer Of the Black Republicans, says:
Il do not believe this government can endure per-
manently half free and half slave; do not believe
the Union will be dissolved, but expect to slaV
cry abolished"
In letter TO Boston meeting Mr.. Lincoln takes
this position:
This is a world of cOmpensatons and he who
would be no slave must consent 10 have no slave.
Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for
themselves. and under just God, can not long re-
tain it
We might make hundreds Of extracts of d similar
character to those given above, showing clearly
that the sentiments of the leading men Of the Black
Republican party-thOse who frame Its platforms
and control It's moYemcnts-are those of hostility to
the South and southern Institutions, but It IS not
necessary Ii then. as Mr.. Davis says, there is no
essential difference between the principles OF Nr.
Bell and Mr.. Lincoln. where is there southern man,
DESTROYS of seeing the constitutional rights of the
South maintained, who can consistently give his
support to either2 We commend the statements Of
Mr.. Davis to the consideration Of southern men.
