The ticket is a noble one, such as must COM

John Bell and Edward Everett, are true and tried
patriots; men of spotless reputation personally and
politically, and of unsurpassed ability.
From The Wheeling Val IaseAgeneer.
Mr.. Bell is good man. There are few beuer men
in the country Indeed, we doubt if there any. And
IL il for this reas0nbecause he has been 50 uniformly
liberal and high toned--that he is now put forward,
not to be elected not with any expectation OF such an
event, but simply by class OF men VINO would pay
again into the hands of the Democracy as they did IN
1856 1t grieves US to so good man sacrificed for

Bv reference to Geographic dispatches 1t viii be
seen that Mr. Bell was yesterday nominated as can

Convention at Baltimore. The news, we need hardly
say caused the greatest rejoicing here and was hailed
with the ringing Of bells and the firing OF cannon.
From The Nasarilie Patriot.
II affords us unfeigned pleasure TO announce the
nomination of John Bell OF this city and State Tor the
Presidency, by the Constitutional Union Party OF the
Nation now in session at Baltimore. This result was
declared on the second ballot unlimited and unan-

hearts.
1t is unnecessary for us TO say how fully The action
Of the Convention has met views and wishes IN
this respect. AT the present writing we are IN pos

ballot and that the Committee had reported plat

with confidence that sectionalism destined 10 fall De-

Fyo,s The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser (Flpors wbs)
The time has been when the whole nation would
have risen with enthusiasm TO greet such nomination
as that of John Bell for President and Edward Everett
for Vice. President. These are among the grandest
names of our political history Wise in Craftsmanship,
prudent in policy firm in action, national IN every nm
pulse of their hearts, with leaning or tendency TO
seetonasm they seem TO embody best the broadest
idea Of that generous patriotism which embraces the
whole Union, and would keep IT ever one and indivls-
ible We should be false to all our past record and al
opinions of the real needs Of the country did we
not say thus much for the distinguished gentlemen who
are to-day the candidates of the Baltimore Convention.
But before we can pledge to them our support
which, once given, cannot be withdrawn-we must see
whether these high qualities the possession of which
we coneede, can be made available or IN other WORDS
useful to the country. Seeking always the
highest good we should still temper cur action with
some regard to the praccaties Of life and the pos
sbites of success. We have again and again declared
our unwilingness TO consent to a third party move
ment in the coming campaign Only an imperative ne
cessty we argued could justify the conservative op
position of the North, including the American and ing
elements in presenting attempting TO support thrd
candidate matter how strong his personal claims on
their regards.
The Chicago Convention meets next week. Among
the names to be presented to it several not only
worthy of national support but which can be sup
ported with brilliant prospect of success. sill fur.
Their on we have the two Democratic Conventions a.
Richmond and Baltimore, fraught with consequences
of vital moment TO our national existence. IL seems
probable that they will result in the standardization OF
The Democracy. If they do, no man can act honestly
