at DROPPING DOUGLASS w e learn from the Columbus, (Ga.) Tsne; that Hon. A. H. Chappell and pr. Billing of that eity--the former one of Geofgia's most eloquent and distinguished orators-have recently de cided to support Breckinridge and Lane. They were Douglas men. la
 From the signs of the times7we think Breckinridge and Lane will receive not only all the electoral votes of the South, but nearly all of the popular vote.

ENRoLLISG CLERK OF THE HousE.-We learn that JOHN P. JoSEs, esq, is cand- date for the above office. Mir. Jones is we'll qualified for the position, and when he eniolls a bill we will guarantee that it will be done correctly. He is fine scribe and good scholar, being graduate of Ar. kansas College at Fayetteville. 9o Without Encouragement to others, we can say that 1t would be next to impossible for the House to elect an enrolling clerk better qualified than MT.

 About ten o'clock, II. C.. Dye introduced Col. J. Ii. Patterson to the crowd, who, in q glowing aud eloquent style, ryeted the attention of the au hence for about two and half hours. He told them that he had been q whig, and stuck to that party as long as 1t had political existence; that he had belonged to the American party as long as it had national existence that he had witnessed with sorrow the absorbtion of the greater part of the once gallant whig and American party of the North by the black republicans. He warned them of the dangers to the Union of the election of d. sectional candidate ayowedy hostile to the interest and equality of every southern State; he warned them against the dangers of taking the pledges of theso-called Union party 'for the constitution, the Union, and enforcement of the laws," by holding up their past record and showing their antecedents lie also warned them against the dangers to the south of the northern interpretation of the Kansas Nebraska. bil-'',

Discussion on Saturday Nirht

On Saturday night last the people of Little Rock were very highly entertained by discussion between Messrs. Jordan and Fellows, in behalf of Breckinridge and Bell. Mr. Jordan led off in a speech tw 0 hours in length. It was as complete an argument as we have ever listened to, and It was very evident that Mr. Fellows did not and could not reply to it. With ire slstible logic did he sustain all his posi- tlons, and every thinking mind who paid attention to the arguments was convinced that they were ineontrovertiLle.
 Mir. Fellows, in reply, adroity evaded the issues, preached alternately Dougasism and Bellism, and drew forth considerable enthusiasm and applause by his eloqpence and wit. In regard to the latter quality they were well matched, for we have sel- dom heard more genuine and mpromptu wit from any speakers. Upon the whole, the discussion passed off very pleasantly, both sides claiming the victory

The heroes of the Union party when asked what they propose to do in case Lincoln is elected, and begins series of aggressions on the South, declare they will fight in the Union, and stealing Mir. Douglas thunder, that they will " hang Abe Lincoln" This, it will be remembered, is a revival of the celebrated notification doctrine of South Carolina, which has been frequently de- nounced by their7own orators, and which, we may add, has been abandoned by Caro- lima herself.

It will be seen from the above that the total vote of 1856 in the free States, was 567 3S4 greater than that of 1859. Of this increased vote the demo- cratic ticket received S5.SI7, and the black repub licans 4S1 ,507 The increase in the democratic vote from 1852 to 1856 was s5,Sl7. The increase in the black republican vote ,oS7 ,6s3. The Joss in the opposition vote was 606,ll6. So that while the democracy gained S5,Sl7, the black re- publeans gained 606,l from the opposition, and 46l 567 from the increased vote, making their total gain l, l,0o7 ,6S3. These statistics show where the black republican gain came from.
 It will be seen then how unjust, and how false in fact, are the charges preferred against the democratic organization. The slanderers of our grand old party should hang their insignificant heads in shame and blushing confusion, when they consult these figures and see the heavy crime for which they are indictable. It is worse than slan- der-it is treason to their country thus to pervert the truth.

MIR. BELL AS. DEPENDANT.

9 The charge has been repeatedly made against Bell and Everett, that they were unsound on the C slavery question: In regard to the latter gentleman, many of them admit his unsoundness, but proceed to apolgize for him. They defend Mr. Bell by asserting that c the same charge has been made against all their great whig leaders, This is funny logic But sup. pose it has. Who is Abe Lincoln, but an old line whig? Who arc Bates and Mclean, who might have been the nominee instead of Mir. Bell, but whigs and know nothings, recently turned black republicans Who Is Jno. Minor Bolts, but n wiiig -know-noth- ing? Who compose the rank and file of the black republican horde. but whigs and know nothings, who believed what their great whig and know nothing leaders said against democracy, and flew to the embrace of the demon of abolitionism? And what does prominent Union-Bell ringer of North Corolina now say? Nothing more nor less than that the Bell men are pre- Tqring the South for the inauguration of Abe. Lincoln--that they have no hope of oleetins Bell. Well may such honorable and patriotic men as Capt. Pike, and Col Craig, of Chicot, and the patriotic rank and fife, dcsert a party that boldly pro- claims such doctrine, and seems eager to hold office under the e irrepressible '" Abe. Lincoln?

 THE BELL PARTY NOT coNsERVAT
 The greatest humbug of the canvass is the ridiculous vanity of the Bell party in claiming to be eonseyvotiue It would not be quite so ridiculous if they knew what " conservatism" meant IHeir idea of :" conservatism " has led the northern wing of their party into the Delhah-lap of abo- litionisnl. It means according to their vocabulary, hdtred to democracy, preferring even black republicanism, an everlasting attachment to federalism, and love of office which leads them even to commit ''wanton outrage" on the South, by nominating a man 1t is impossible to elect, and by aiding the Douglas men in breaking up the Charles ton convention. Their idea ofr conseruot;sns induces their leaders at the South, such as Bolts, Winter Davis, Emerson, Ethridge John A. Gilmer, and others, to aid the black republicans, by their constant tirade of abuse against the democracy, which of course facilitates the fusion between the
 .t.
 northern wing oftheir party and the black republicans, and by asserting willingness to hold office under Abe. Lincoln. Is this conservatism? Iheu idea of conservatism leads them to inform the abolitionists in advance that they will help Lincoln hang all who resist his aggressions on the South With singular contradictiyeness they pro- pose to s'nullify" themselves, but intend to aid the firm of Lincoln and Douglas ," in strangling, like oriental thugs, the brave men who '' know their rights and knowing dare maintain them They abuse the gal lant Yancey while he is at the North de- lending the South, and appealing to the true eonservatist's to save the constitution and the country.
