From the EfeId-An Election by the

The late elections iii Kentucky, North
Carolina and Missouri, are having the effect
to arouse the conservative sentiment of the
country to knowledge of its strength and
the absolute necessity of its assertion III No

suit in those States as most favorable to the
Union movement, headed by BELL and EVER
EFT. and advises the Union party. North aud
South. to push forward their electoral tick
ets. their principles. their late achievements
for thus. with the grand argument OF the
Union, which has broken down the sectional
democracy in the South, this new Union
party may still be in time to so invade thI-
sectional Republican party OF the North as
to render its defeat visible event in season
for the November election The Herald Is
only anticipating the action OF tie Southern
people From the South We have the most
encouraging responses TO the spirit displayed
in the recent elections O.ur exchanges Sou n
OF u are trimming full of evidences OF a de-
termination to fight the great battle of the
Union against ali sectional enemies, with all
the devotion and energy its Importance de-
mands In Mr. BELLS own State of Tennes-
see. they are doing the work nobly and
thoroughly. We yesterday received several
private letters of the most hopeful and en-
couragiug character. From Rogcrsviile. in
the East, on the 1Itb, a correspondent assures
us that 'our cause is gaining ground daily.
The election news falls like d wet blanket on
the hopes of the Breckinridgers. There is 4
smart sprinkle of Douglasites in this section.
and would be more if they had bold leader.
NELSON'S calm and statesmanlikc addresses
are producing a wonderful effect. They are
as vet uuanswered-aRd unanswerable."
Another from YorkviIle, Gibson comfy, in
the West, says: The BELL and EVERETT
cause is moving in this section right on,
taking almost everything as it goes. The
Democracy are badly divided. The DOUGLAS

Union from the disunionists and sectional

Union ticket without doubt. y correspond

nv the State" a correspondent in Missis-
sippi states that: "The conservative Union
democracy in this State view the pending
contest as the Wings did that of 1856. BELL
is the only candidate who stands any chance
TO defeat LINCOLN, the only one that is really
national, and they hold that it is their duty
to rally to his support" y gentleman, just
returned from tour through the North, in
forms us that reaction there, in view of the
great movement in the Southern States, is in J
evitable. The conservative Union feeling
needs but TO be aroused to make it triumph |
ant at the ballot-bO1, and to Overwhelm dis |
and sectionalsm in one common |
grave.
II those who sincerely desire The Union |
continued on the basis of the constitution |
and laws, will discard their party prejudices,
and come manfully up to the support of
BELL, he will be elected by majority vote
of the people of the Union. In all sections
We have the most inspiring assurances that
such will be the case.
