OUR CoRREsPonDEnoE.
A Glorious nav I'm old Smith.

Eds. Pafriot--At Rome on the 18th inst,
at the ringing of the bell, large concourse
of people assembled at the Baptist church TO
hear speeches from Stanton and Murray,
Electors for the Fourth District The discus
sion was opened by Mr.. Stanton in one of
the most eloquent addresses We have ever
heard. He took a view OF the parties, and
clearly demonstrated to every unprejudiced
mind that the Democracy (Southern) did till
recently endorse Sqaatter Sovereignty; and
that they were now agitating the country
upon an abstraction. TO bring about, if posi-
bic, dissolu ton of the Union. Mr.. Murray
then took the stand and essayed to ''pitch
into" Mr.. Bells record but soon abandoned
that (seeing what little effect such erroneous
arguments had upon an intelligent audience,)
and by an extraordinary leap conveyed him.
self into the Territories, where he met the
armed ghost of John Brown, which SO terri
bly, frightened him that be scarcely returned
to near Mr.. Stanton portray the merits, high,
worthy and patriotic virtues of Bell and Ev-
erett, and depict the conservative position of
the Washington party, every word Of which
was done in that eloquent tone which found
a loud response in the heart of every Uuion
lover, and which swept like a storm of living
fame over the bosoms of few forlorn dem
ocrats, and made them tremble like Bel
shazzar's knees and bleach as white as the
driven snow. Well will the thunders of APP
plause which greeted every remark of Stan
ton and the downcast eounteaances of a crest
fallen democracy proclaim the glory in old
Smith that day. Well may We congratulate
ourselves upon the rapid strides of the glori-
Gus Union party--and further, We will add,
well may this district felicitate herself that
the lot of the eloquent champion (SIanton)
of the Union, the Constitu ion and the Laws,
has been cast within her borders; and well
may she rest assured that he will ever cast
hot shot into the democratic camp till the
last vPstige of that foul den shall have been
reduced to ashes, and this country redeemed
from the poisonous fangs of that wretched
happy that has bred villainy and corruption
in almost every department of the Federal
Government. Yours, &c,

when does the PATRIOT intend to publish,
among its disuniOu extracts, the part OF a
speech Mr.. BELL delivered in July, 1880, IN
which he says" &c, Sc.-tft0R amt Al'tsrt-
can.
II our contemporary will take up the files
o. the PATRIOT for the current year, and eX-
anime the impression of June I'd, he Will fad
that we have already, in an article on Mr..
BELLS record, republished the passage OF
his speech containing the extract to which
our attention is called.
We commend the careful reading % that
article to the Union and american. 1t will
help our contemporary TO form correct opin-
ion-something he has not yet done-of the
position of Mr.. BELL. on the subject OF slave
nv. and the constitutional rights of the South.
1t shows
1. That Mr.. BELL, with JEFF DAVIS, in
1850, voted TO repeal the Mexican laws, pro
hibiting slavery, which Mr.. CAss and other
statesmen declared were in force in the ter
ritories acquired from Mexico, and thus re-
move that obstacle to the enjoyment by the
STAKEHOLDER of his constitutional rights of
property in the said territories.
?. That he desired to extend the Missouri
Compromise line to the Pacific, with the pro-
vision that the territory South of it should be
slave territory; and that he believed this
measure could have been carried had it been
insisted upon by the Southern members of
Congress.
3. That, in settling the questions which
then divided the country, he wished, as a
part of any compromise, a distinct provision
that any additional slave States which might
be formed out of Texas, as authorized IN the
annexation resolutions, should be admitted
into the Union without any further legislation
ON the part of Congress thus placing it out
of the power of the Northern majority to de-
lay or hinder their admission the moment
they should be ready to take their places in
the Union.
4. That he regarded the Wilmot Proviso as
a measure justly obnoxious to the South
5. That. in his opinion, the constitution,
proprio Uigore, protects, in the territories, the
recognized property of citizens whilst in
another portion of the speech from which the
Union and Anlerican's citation is made, he de-
cIares the constitution recognizes slave pro
perty.
g. That he is not at any price the ~ aion
shrieker'' and tame submissionst, charged by
Southern enemies.

How Northern constitutional Union
Men TaIk.
a VOICE FROM OHIO.

Col. VAN TRUMP presided over the Consti-
tutfonal Union State Convention of Ohio,
held last week at Chillicothe. On taking the
Chair, he made brief speech from which we
make the following extract
We have met here to-day in this ancient
metropolis of the glorious old Buckeye Com
monwealth, not with the hope OF obtaining
power or comforting favors to- stimulate our
efforts, or reward our friends, but with the
single purpose of manifesting to the Union
OF the family OF States, and the Constitution
and the laws by which alone that Union can
be perpetuated [applausel and transmitted
to our posterity.
1t is no common occasion that fas called
Us here to-day; it is because that Union has
been threatened, the peace and harmony OF
the States endangered, and the popular
fidelity to the General Government attempted
TO be weakened and perverted, that We are
called here to day 10 testify and renew our
allegiance to that great national covenant
of our political faith sealed by the blood OF
our fathers, purified by the fire OF the ReVO-
luton, and dedicated 10 the welfare, happi-
ness and liberty of united Americans. APP
plause.l No higher or uobler cause ever
animated the aspirations or drew the atten-
ton OF great, free and intelligent nation of
people. However much the efforts in such a
cause DIS lulo may DC EHGSIeu AT ny SclliSu
partizans or derided by Higher Law philosO-
piers, it is a fact that cannot be disguised,
truth made fearfGlly manifest in every days
experience OF the working of our political
institutions, that there is d growing, wide
spread disaffectiou to the Constitution and
laws OF the country, and the guarantees, as
well as the obligations, which should rest
upon every faithful and useful citizen OF the
Government. The dark and potentous cloud
of disunion, which has hung upon our p0liti-
cal horizon, seems to be c0ndeDsing its ele
ment5 with fearful rapidly. 1t does not be
long to mans foresight to tell when the
fash shall be emitted from that cloud, shat
tering, it may be, the most glorious Constitu-
ton ever devised by human genius. [Cheers.l
1t such a state of things as this, gentlemen
of the Convention, what is the clear and pal
pable mission OF the great Constitutional
party of this Union? 1t is to stand as a
breakwater to the Constitution, as a shield to
that Union OF which the party is a symbol;
it is to establish the great political fact that
the American people can have but one
country, one Constitution, aud one destiny.
That Union must be, in the language Of a
great statesman, zone and inseparable.'

A NATIONAL UNION observation-disclosures
aged by the suspicious progress of our great
national cause, we cordially unite in the
suggestion of the N Y. Express for National
Union Meeting. That paper, which is now
earnestly warming up, as the cause is getting
fairly under way, has the tollowing:-

great pleasure, the holding of grand mass
Bell and Everett national meeting in Septem-
Der or October next Boston promises to send
a hundred delegates at least, and every State,
if one is called, will send its full representa-
tion From Maine to California, the Consti-
tuition Union party is now organized, and its
friends are beginning TO work in right good
earnest. AS the good State of Kentucky has
nobly led off in the great battle between the
friends aud enemies of the Union, we suggest
Kentucky aud Lexington as the place OF

@-We have glad tidings of the conserva-
tive reaction from all parts of the country
consequent on the recent elections in Mis-
souri,, Kentucky, aud North Carolina, and
the discussion of Mr.. BELLS history con
nected with the public service. The ordeal
TO which his ''record" has been subjected since
his nomination, has shown him to be what his
friends knew him to be when they put him
forward for the nomination, one Of the ablest,
most philosophic and conservative statesmen
who have adorned the annals of the Republic.
The masses have done him and themselves
the Justice to read that record and have found
1t to be satisfactory to all who value the
Union and Its constitutional administration
more than party or section, and are coming
ND to his support like men. All that is nee
essary to elect him by an overwhelming ma
jority by the people, and thus put quietus
on the fanaticaI sectional agitations, which
have been so productive OF evil and now
threaten to end the Union in revolution and
blood Let all conservative men everywhere
now lay aside their partisan prejudices and
passions, and rally to the standard of BELL
to defeat LINCOLN.

Mr.. Cobb has returned and reported that
the public sentiment of Georgia is for seces-

of feeling has been much augmented here
by the rabid declarations of Mr.. Seward at

BY the Author Of Hidden Path, Alone and Moss Side
The scene of the story Of Nemesis is laid 10 the

~. The customs and events Of those days are traced
with fidelity and spirit, yet skillfuIy interviewer
with the narrative that the reader not wearied by
statistics or dry historical details The homes of fty
years seemed familiar him as those he visited
but yesterday, and their inmates differ little from the
men and women with whom he associates daily The
pictures of humble life graphic and refreshing In
other work from the authors pen can there be found
greater variety Of incident artistic deeneation
of character more earnesne Of thought and visor of
description, and certainly other CONFIRMS q plat so
striking IN conception and so ably managed
The reader cannot but remark how rresistably vet
naturally he is borne along by the tide of events
There is need after he Is the current TO ex
plain the title that frowns al the top OF the
page Before the Nemesis is unvaiIed the reader feels
her subtle influence understanding by intuition tina,
there hidden springs and secret wires under the
feet and the homes of the unsuspecting objects

fully proves that retribuion though somtimes slow is
