How FoUL-The Montgomery Adtsztiser
boldly charges Mr.. Bell with being aboii-
zionist. We are no defender of John Bell and
his party. but more base or wanton charge
never was made against any man. than that
John Bell is unfricndly 10 negro slavery
There is just about much truth or prOprie-
ty in charging abolitiOnism against any gen
tleman of Lowndes or Montgomery CO unity.
The man who charges John Bell with being
an abOlitionist, does ii through iguOra nee or
malicious desire to lie upon his fellowmen.
We cut the above from the Selma SentiOsl,
democratic paper, whose editor has just re-
turned from Nashville, where he had an in
terview with Mr.. Bell, and where he had
full opportunity OF learning Mr.. Bells seD5i-
Glcnts. But OF course no one believes that
Mr.. Bell is unfriendly to slavery. Such an
idea is simply ridiculous montgomery 44Eg-l

To The Conservative men of Indiana,
Chic and Pennsylvania.

We esteem it our duty to address few
earnest words to the friends OF THE Union,
the Constitution and the Enforcement of the
Laws" i'll Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania,
in anticipation of the local elections to take
place next week in those States. We would
on no account be guilty of any improper in-
reference in the local affairs OF any State,
but we feel that the elections to take place
on The 9th of October in the States we have
referred to are matters of great national mo-
ment because certain to have a most power
full bearing and influence upon the result OF
tht Presidential election. In this view we
are not less deeply interested in the f.ciion
of those States than their own citizens
We are the irieEds of Bell and Everett. au d
our first political object is to prolaose their
election 1t has been proved, We think. to
The satisfaction of all observing men, that
Bell and Everett will carry nearly the whole
of the Southern States in the Presidential
election. There are but two or three South
ern States that in our opinbaJi are likely to
90 for any other candidates. II the election
SHALL devolve on the Hense of Representa-
tives, Mr.. Bell we are confident, will go there
as one of the two highest in the electoral coll
ieges. Moreover, we are confident that the
House of Representatives. would make him
President. We readily admit that the cleo
ton OF truly national President by the
people would be preferable to his election by
The House OF Representatives,, yet we believe
that all true and good men will agree with
US that the election of a national President
would be infinitely better than the election o..
sectional candidate by the people. This
latter result would most assuredly be most
deplorable national calamity.
We want you. our Bell and Everett breth-
rem in Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, to
cooperate warmly and actively with Us in
preventing the election of sectional Presi-
| dent. We have nothing to urge against Mr..
Lincoln, except that he is thoroughly Sec
| tional candidate. and we Know that you, our
/ conservative brethren, will fully agree with
Us that this is one of the greatest of all con-

/ ceIvable objections. And we need not say to
men of your Intelligence, that, If you wish
fodefeat Mr. Lincoln, the most certain. if not
the only mode of doing it, is to cast your
votes and your Influence, on the 9th of Octo-
Der against the candidates of the party that
| sus.ains him. We cannot d0ubt your earnest
desire to defrat the Republican party. the
Northern sectional party. in the Presidential
election. for the essence, the very sonl of con-
servatism is opposition 10 seciionalism; and,
If you beat the sectional party in your State
elections, you will have accomplished the
great and glorious work of rendering Mr.
Lincoln's election an impossibility. The re-
suit of your State elections will tell power
fully, most powerfully, for our country's
veal or our country's woe.
1t may be in itself matter of small i'm
portance who is Governor of this that, or the
other State, but il 10 matter ofevast moment;
whether the spirit of sectonalisin shall be en-
throned in the high places of our government
We appeal to you as brethren aud neighbors
To give to this subject the deepest considera-
lion and reflection. We pray you to bear in
mind that the election of a merely sectional
President, one who has not shadow Of
strength in one of the great divisions of the
Union, would be the Inauguration of new
and very fearful experiment. No such PreSi-
dent has ever been elected in the United
States, and it should be the prayer of every
patriotic heart that none ever may be. We
do not undertake TO say that the Union might
not survive, at least for tire, the election
of such a President, but surely every wise
and prudent man must know that it would
increase most fearfully that sectional exas-
peration which already threatens our Repub-
lie with fearful catastrophe.
Our cOuntry's greatest and sorest need at
this time is that the spirit Oh sectional slrife
shall be mitigated and assuaged. Let the
present alarming crisis pass harmlessiy by,
and we may hope that, ere the expiration of
another four years. the OF harmony be-
tween the North and the South will be- re-
established. And it is most especially in
your power, fellOw-citizens of Indiana, Ohio,
and Pennsylvania, to contribute much, very
much, nay, almo,t everything, to that glOri-
Gus rt sult by your patriotic and anti-sectiOn-
al action in your State elections. You, like
ourselves are devoted TO the success OF ..rB Bell,
but, by permitting your States 20 81 for the
Republican candidates on the ccohd Tuesday
OF the present mouth, you would inflet such
an amount of injury upon the cansa of Mr..
Bell as no subsequent efforts OF y, --rs, how
ever great. would probably suffice to repair.

II saw it with all Difference TO my col

rendered to the South, upon which we should

to the forms of the Constitution and the law,
