Extract from a Letter,

DATED NEW ORLEANS, SEPTEMBER III 1850.
Political excitement still RACES. Not long since
about one hundred and fifty or two hundred, old,
grey-headed men formed themsevec into club to
support Bell and Everett. They called themselves
the "Fossils" They will admit none 10 member
ship who are under forty years of age. The night
they formed they were addressed by gentleman
eghty-three years of age He made beautiful
speech, and the greatest enthusiasm prevailed. Oh,
It's glorious sight to these old grey-headed
veterans mementoes of the past generations linked
arm in arm parading the streets and Immediately
behind them the young Bell Ringers Club, compos-
ed of young men just twenty-one years of age,
and who will cast their maiden vote in the glorious
cause of "The Union, the Constitution and the En-
forcement of the Laws" Young men whom |
have known from childhood are now up and doing.
Go to q meeting, and where you expected to hear
some grey-hared, experienced old lawyer address
ing the people, you will more often see young man
just of age breathing forth eloquent words for the
the glorious cause. Were but q few months OIL
der, my voice, too, would be heard from the plat
form cheering the gallant band. The other night
at large gathering saw standing on the monu-
ment of Henry Clay man in his shirt sleeves, Ia
butcher by trade) addressing the assembled multi
tude.
Every man in the cause feels himself patriot
and always ready to do battle with the foe wheh
er on the platform or in the ranks with his musket
and knapsack.
Daily glad tidings come from all portions of the
country, telling us that our star is in the ascendant
and that tho work goes bravely on. Three cheers
for the UnioEl God bless the stars and stripes -
"Long may they wave Undivided DER the land o.
the free and the home of the brave"
On the seventh of November next we viii prove
to both North and South East and West, that tho
there are many who would like TO behold the shiT
of State wrecked and sunk forever there still re-
mains patriots enough to save the gallant craft ant
-l,a
of Disunion and Abotionism, yet in the end she
will safely and CALAMITY ride into the harbor OF
safety. Then cling to the Union with Bell and Ev-
erett.

BSS- The refusal of Judge Douglas, at Phiadel-
phia to sanction fusion with the friends Of Breck-
nridge to insure the defeat Of Lincoln makes him,
practically, much sectional man as either Lin
coin or Breckenridge. He knows that he stands no
chance to be elected, and he knows that the chan
ces Of breckenridge are even worse than his; and
knowing these things, his professions of love for
the Union go for nothing whilst he interposes OBJ
sacles to its preservation by the defeat of Lincoln
and his patriotism must be questioned so long as
personal feelings prompt him to look to the de-
featof Breckenridge the paramount consideration.
Whether oil and water" will mix or not, is no
reason why patriots should not mix for the saliva
ton of the Union, however much they may differ
upon points of minor importance, and his smile
serves to show the amount Of gall mingled with his
feelings rather than the amount of patriotism which
ought to dictate his course.

the Southener rarely makes an effort for the recoy-
cry of his fugitive slave; and as this supply is in
creased, under the encouragement given to the slave

This is no fancy picture, but Legitimate deduc-

and nothing can save the North from their dire ef-
fleets but the early removal of those causes. And
this is true ms before stated whether the Uncn is
preserved or not if dissolved the slave trade viii

with fugitives; if preserved and the North will
cease its aggressions and comply with the require

sectional harmony will be restored, and the slave
cease TO contaminate, by odmixture, his presence
the homogeneous population CT the free States.

Bay Whilst John Bell is denounced as being
untrue to the South, his whole course as public
man gives the lie to the charge and whilst Brock
inrdge is louded as the peculiar guardian of south
ep rights, during his whole public life, he has been
the advocate of squater sovereignty and non inter
vention, and no where on his record can be found
one word from him in open and manly defence OF
the institution of slavcry.-This fact ought to ar
rest the attention of the people, and teach them the
folly of giving orodence to the ISLANDERS ofnerested
politicians upon tho fair fame of the Union candi-
date.

paA. Judge Douglas, in his speech at Baltimore,
assumed that the only way to save Che Union is
for all parties to acquiesce in the doctrine of

A settlement Is what we need--one in which all

dangers the Union. Douglas keeps up the quarrel
on the one hand whilst Yancey keeps it up, on the

whatever evil may follow. The people have no in
