says that LINCOLN viii certainly have the vote of
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1853-1862, 1860-08-29
Let Them withdraw.

1t becomes more evident every day that Messrs.
BELL and DOUGLAS ought TO withdraw from the
Presidential contest if they and their friends really
desire the defeat of LINCOLN. The consequence of
their withdrawal would be that BRECKENRIDGE would
certainly carry a united South, and would so in
spirit and rally the friends of Constitutional Union
Ia the Northern States that the defeat of LINCOLN
would be easy and certain. The withdrawal of
these two candidates would at once solve the prob
lem that is perplexing the minds of patriots in
every portion of the cOnfederacy and rendering our
political future gloomy. If BRECKENRIDGE were to
respond to the wishes of the Opposition, BELL and
DOUGLAS would remain in the field and would d.
vide the antiRepublicans SO to insure LINCoLN's
election. 1t is a curious fact, in this connection,
that we never hear BELL1TE asking the with
drawal of DOUGLAS, or DOUGLAS man desiring Mr..
BELL to withdraw. They both unite, however, in
desiring Mr. BREcKINRIDGE to withdraw. Now sup
pose Mr.. BRECKENRIDGE were to withdraw, for the
sake of argument, would it leave them in any bet
ter condition? They would only divide the strength
of the South, and neither of them would ever give
satisfaction to the Southern people.
Black Republican rule, with all its consequences,
would be precipitated upon the country. But if
they would both withdraw, we could then unite the
strength and influence of all constitutional men
against LINCOLN and save our institutions from the
hands of these revolutionary Black Republicans
Let the suggestion circulate and be repeated until
public opinion shall demand such course. 1t is
the true solution of the crisis and will the
Union and the Constitution. Come up to the prOpO-
sition, We Union savers
Nineteen States voted in 1856, for the Democratic
candidate for the Presidency. OF these nineteen,
fifteen duly represented in the nomination of
BRECKNRIDGE and LANE and a majority of two
others were in the convention and acting. There
were cast one hundred and seventy-four Electoral
votes for BUCHANANn 1856. OF these one hundred
aud seventyfOur, one hundred and thirteen were
cast in convention for BRECKENRIDGE and LANE and
of the sxyone remaining, torty-seven only were for
DOUGLAS. The rest did not participate in either
Vention. One hundred and thit teeen Fremont Elec-
toral votes were cast IN 1856. All but five of these
were cast for DOUGLAS. Eleven States gave their
votes for Col. JOHN C. Fremont, and nine of these
were in the Rump Convention The one represent
ed the Democracy, the other represented a comb-
nation Of DOUGIAs-ism and Republicanism. The ore
represented the principles of the Constitution the
other represented plumber and office.

have explained why Mr.. BELL nominated on

Happears that the nomination OF Bel and Everett has
been received with the greatest enthusiasm in Alabama
The last Mobile Aduertiser, SAYS:
Never since the days Of Harrison, in 1910, and Ty-
Ter in lS4S have nominations been made which fell so
hyoraby upon the public ear-or which awakened so
much honest enthusiasm and pleasure. In this section,
we have nothing like it since s4S and we are daily
grauded with fresh evidences OF the strength and Popu-
laEity Of our candidates"
As another evidence Of the feeling Alabama in behalf
of Bell and Everett cite the fact that at an mpromptu
ratification meeting Selma that Stateon the night the
news of the nomination reached there, two prominent
Democrats, the Hon. Alexander White and Col. j. W.
Lapsey addressed tie meeting in an eloquent manner
speaking in the highest terms of our noble candidates
aud the impregnabe platform of the Constitution and
the Union upon which they stand. The fact here sta
ted E d striking evidence Of another fact TO wit that
the people Of the South are tired and disguised with the
humbuggery Of Democracy, and intend to rally with
unparalleled unanmity to the support Of the only Con
suuonsl Union candidates that will be in the hed-Bell
aud Everett
Not only in Alabama, but throughout all the other
Southern States the nomination of Bell and Everett is
awakening an enthusiasm in the highest degree graft
flying TO every friend and lover OF his country Let the
ball roll on-and let it gather as it rolls and let the
country once more fud peace dignity, and honor in the

THE DEFAULTING CASHIER OF THE UNION BANK
OF IONDON

from the London Times, AWt 20.
The following report the recent frauds OF their chief
cashier has been issued this evening by the Union Bank
of London 1t gives clear summary OF the means EN-
poyed and confirms the anticipaons as to the degree
of loss sustained the total being f26S OOO small por-
ton of this may be recovered but the directors propose
to meet the evil at once by writing of f2 per share, or
fl2000 from the capital whcA increased to that
extent by bonus in July last by appropiang the e1-
istng fund Of el00 600 and by deductng go
600 from the dvisble profits of the twevenonths ending
the S0th Of June next This will leave the concern
with its original capital intact and also with sufficient
surplus to declare per cent dividend at the next meet
ing which with the II per cent already paid will make
l2 per cent for the year. As there is no reason TO sup
pose that the bank will lose single customer from this
unhappy event it may be hoped that the confidence e1'
pressed by the directors that few years will restore II
ut is with deep regret that the directors have to COM
municate to the propretos that they have discovered
very large frauds committed by hier late chief cashier
