We heard supporter of MIR. Bell say
that he would support him, not that he
expected to elect him by the popular vote,
but he hoped to throw the election 10 the
House. aud he then thought Mr.. Bells
chances were good. We cannot imagine
how any intelligent man, who looks over
the entire field. can be thus blinded as to
the political condition of the present
House of Representatives. We knorD how

it would elect. If the election for Presi

not thus advance the prospect of Mr. Bell
a whit, but they help Mr.. Douglas And
as no intelligent man expects the election

Bell in Indiana, is really a vote thrown
away. But if il is the intention of those

hands Of the people, they must see, that
should they succeed in this, their candi

vanced. The House will never elect, but
that important duty will devolve upon the
Senate, and then. not Mr.. Bell, not Mr.
Douglas, not Mr.. Breckinridge, not Mr..
Lincoln, but Joe Lane will be President.

ing that a great point is to be gained by

ern Democratic States would vote for
Douglas in such contingency, or for Bell
after the coalition to defeat BreckinTidge
in the South. Their object would mani
testify be, and tire design is not concealed,
to defeat an election by the House, and
carry the contest into The Senate for the
bpnt fit of Lane And now ask these
parties, in all seriousness, whether, after
having combined to beat Lincoln by the
most inscriptions means, aud vented all
their spleen against him, his party aud his
principles, they expect the 10 Republican
81 ates to unite with them IN electng eth
