While the sec'onalists of the Soutl
are playing into the hands OF LIN
coin and iiamln, by doing all the,
possibly can to divert Southern support
from the only candidates who have the
ghost of chance, as they wei! know
ei defeating the Black Republicans, the
more respectable, Intelligent, asih patton
al among tue Northern Democracy are
pursuing the opposite course, and not
only oppose the Republicans, bur they
have the nauliness to defend Bel and
Everett from The miserable Charges and
vile misrepresentation of the aboltioll-
lists. II our readers could peruse some
OF The Northern sectional journals, they
would receive some very curious tnpres,
sions. They would be struck with the
similarity Of the spirit and mode Of war
ts,e adopted III the p esent campaign in
reference to Bell and Everett to The
spirit and mode Of warfare that distin-
yushed the Harrison canvass of 1910.
the Clay canvass OF 1911, the Taylor
canvass of ls48, tie Scott canvass Of
1852, and the Fillmore canvass of 1856.
In all these calnpalg gus the Wing Con-
stItulonal candidates IN the South we've
held up as little if any better than abo-
itionists, whlle III the North they ae,e
held up as the persouific: ion of the
.'slave ollgarchy.'
This is precisely what the sectional
lists OF 10th regions are now doing. HE
Southern sectional organs are dong
their best to make the South believe that
the National candidates are little be.ter
than aboii;ionis,s, and the Northern
sectona! organs are rot a whit behind
their sectional coad tutors Of the South
in their attempts TO make the Northern
people believe that the same National
candidates are devoted soul and bodg to
the South.
Curious, isn't it? We don't think
the game will win this time. 1t has be-
comesto be SO well understood now, both
in the North ard in the South, that he
who can be in the least influenced by
SO stale and transparent humbug, must
be verdant enough to take the color out
of a whole cargo of Venetian green!
The Northern sectionalists have become
alarmed to as great degree at the
progress Of the National Constitutional
cause rs the Southern sectiona!ists, and
hence the desperateness Of their vain
efforts to stem the torrent that is every
day rising higher, and that bids fair to
sweep away tanaticism and sectiona!ism,
with all their refuge Of lies.
We said the more intelligent and na-
toual among the. Northern Democracy
are not only stripping away the disguises
aud correcting the misrepresentation Of
tue Northern seetionalists, who Of course
are the Black Republicans, but they
freely admit the progress which tue Bell
aud Everett cause is there making, aud
wIici, has thrown the Black Republicans
into such alarm. Tha, it may. appear
that we are not speaking at random, Or
without due authority, we shall present,
the incontestible proof of the truth Of
our allegations. Our readers have all
head of that Old, lfe-l long Democratic
jouruai, the Philadelphia! Pennsyloanian.
1t is the principal administration organ
in that great State. 1t is, therefore, good
authority with all Breckinrldge Demo
Gratis. Well, in late issue, now lying
before US, tins Pennsyloaniun devotes
nearly a column to the BELL Orgapiza-
ton" aud our readers shall see for them
selves in what light it represents the said
Organization" We extract as follows,
which is all we can find room for, and
wish We could give the whole article.
"THE BELL ORGASIzA1IoN.-There is
nothing that alarms the sectional sup
porters Of Lincoln so terribly as The
union Of the friends Of the
Union against Republicanisn'. The re-
cent action Of the Convention at Tren
ton, comes with the force Of a bomb
INTO their camp. They had things SO
handsomely arranged in LincoIn's behalf,
and they were so joyful over the divi-
,ions in the conserv atlye vote, that it is
natural they should not like to have
heir little arrangements, hopes and ex-
oectations frustrated. But there are
higher interests than those Of the Re-
publican party to be cared for, interests
alike the peace, prosperity and
oerpetu;ty of the Corfederacy, aud to
hese every Union-loying man will most
likely devote himself, despite the hue
.ud cry of Lincoln and his friends.
The North american yesterday ex-
pended its wrath against the supporters
