What does Mr.. BELL expect 20 gain by continuing
his hopeless race for the Presidency? fno extra
ordinary results were dependent upon this election,
pride and ambition might induce him to continue in
the field notwithstanding the overwhelming defeat
that stares him in the face. But every man feels
AMI knows that the safety of this Union depends
1rpon the defeat of LINCOLN Every man feels and
knows that the value OF his property, his real and
personal estate his stocks his bonds, his mortgages
his notes. the value of all perhaps his life and his
liberty, depend upon the preservation Of the Union
with its Constitutional guarantees. 1t is evident
from the feeling manifested by all parties South OF
Ms that a secession Of some Of the Southern States
will certainly occur. Should Mr.. LINCOLN attempt
to 'carry out Mr.. DOUGLAS threat to whip them
hack if the other Southern States did not take posi-
ton as States with those that seeded, majority OF
their citizens would be found enrolled under the
flag of the South. We make no threat, we utter nc
wish. we simply state fact which every man II

What. then, does Mr.. BEIL expect to gam by con

Patriotism must dictate that he should withdraw
Mr. BELL has the reputation of being cold, cheer

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1850.
eProAnecla.

From all portions of the South we are receiving
the most Encouraging intelligence. Il is evident
that neither BELL nor DOUGLAS can beat LINCOLoN.
1t is evident that the only way to defeat him is for
the two or three doubtful Southern States to fall
into line with the rest Of their sisters Of the South
The Democracy are enthusiastically ralying to the
cry of the Constitution and the Equality of the
States Hundreds of rejecting, conservative OPP
position men, who love their party not less but
their country more are coming to our assistance
The doubts that have hitherto hung around the
result in Maryland, Kentucky and Missouri are
rapidly vanishing. The Jide is now rapidly settling
one way. All, except those blinded partisans who
claimed the entire South for FILLMORE, now see that
there is but one chance to beat LINCOLN and that is
by voting for BREoKINRIDGE and LANE. In four days
the South will be a unit. The news from New
York is daily growing more encouraging. We hope
now to carry that State and then all will be well

From wsakIey.

DARDEN, October 22d, 1850.
Messrs. EiiiorS Col. J. X. Howard and r. W.
Haywood addressed quite respectable audience al
this place to-day. The verp short notice we had'
only two days, prevented our giving those gallant
champions such greeting as we would ma 70 de-
sired.
Mr. Haywood opened the discussion one hour and
twenty minutes. and by his bold and manly elo'
quence held his audience spell bound. His ar 81
ments were forcible and logical and will have its
effect on the day of election. He is a champion
that the Democracy should be proud of.
Col Howard made one of the best speeches of the
canvass, and the audience testified their apprec.a
ton of it by frequent applause. Howard speaks
like none other, and with such standard-bearei
Democracy may rest assured that her banner vii
never trail in the dust 1 am only sorry that every
voter in the county could not hear him. know
that he has done some good here.

ed in the South helds out the strongest pFudental
inducements to those Union-loving men who are OPP
posed to dsunion upon the mere ground Of LNCoLS's
election Those who think that when our mast goes
by the board we should rig jury mast and con-
tinue to work the ship while it win keep out water
To such we say that in the event of LINooLNs cleo
ton the moral effect of united South must go far
to delay that much dreaded first overt act upon the
preparation Of which all are agreed that submis-
sion would cease to be virtue. Such defeat on
our part would be half victory. We would i've
to fight again, and at the next battle perhaps the
victory would be ours. For it is TO be Hoped
that success would ripen the principle of decay in
the corrupt sectional party Of the North, and that
four years of Office would be more than fcient to
sunder forever the unnatural alliance of hungry
adventurer with religious fanatic.
If, however, that portion of the slave States north
Of the southern line of Tennessee should vote in this
emergency against the candidate of the constitution
al State Rights party there is every reason to be-
leve from the indications of the day that the cotton
States would at once secede from union in which
hey would stand as eight to twenty-five. In such
action they would have the moral support of Mr.,
Fn.lNoREs Rochester speech as also Of that speech
of Mr.. Bells in the Senate in which with distin-
guished eoQuence he inveighed against a Union held
together moi by affection but by the strong arm.
We are speaking now, however, of prudential rea-
sons alone. A secession by the cotton States would
leave the remaining slave States in Union in which
they would stand as seven to eighteen and in which
the dominant power would be committed to war

On my way home, last summer, passed through

position he occupied on the slavery topic. Accord
inglv met him. with a view to ascertain. from his
own mouth the truth or fallacy of the rumor-that
he was an anti slavery man. He soon convinced me
Of the correctness of the rumor. He said In sub

opening of the African slave trade but also to the
further extension of slavery, as believe II an evil OF
the first magnitude"
