The PrOclivities OF the BeII-EverOtts of

1ne FrOc31Vlt1eB OF the beIl-EVeT0tIs Oh
lhe North.
The BELL papers of the North are busily engaged
in endeavoring to establish that the friends of
BRECKENRIDGE and LANE voted for the Black Repub-
lican candidates in Ohio and Indiana. They have so
far succeeded but poorly. Some of the DOUGLAS
papers have had the magnanimity to come forward
and refute the report. Let US see how it has been
with the BELL-EvERETTs of the North. The Secre
tary of the BELL EVERETT Committee in Indiana, j.
G. BRYANT, published a few days before the late
election an address to the BELL men of Indiana in
which he said to them, Let US cote The Republican
! State ticket or not cote at dL' Ex-GOv. BEBB, of
Knox county, Tenn, who advocated the BELL cause
before the BEIL-EvERETT club in Knoxville, has
been making speeches in Indiana to Black Republi-
can meetings in Black Republican wlg-wams, in ia
vor Of the LINCOLN ticket RICHARD W. Thomson.
the leading BELL man of Indiana, and the same
with whom ETHERIDGE stopped while he was there,

Pennsylvania The Philadelphia correspondent of
the New York Tribune under date of October 3,

The honest friends of Bell openly Irepudiate the
sale Of them attempted by the managers and the
discovery that the British agents and Free Traders
| in New York have contributed large sums of money
to elect Foster now, they did Pollock in 1856, to
prevent any modification of the tariff, has produced
reaction and excitement.
Under date of October 18th, he said:
Mr. Bells true friends who are opposed to being
sold by the "City Executive Committee" have call
| ed a meeting in independence square tomorrow
night to repudate the resolution transferring them
| wholesale to Mr.. Foster Intelligence from the
country states that the Bell men, upon receiving
this information, generally declared for Col Curtin
to emphasize their reprObaton Of the treachery and
! corruption. This movement for Mr.. Foster has
made a serious schism in the Bell ranks, which will
finally leave the politicians alone to be purchased,
who are hardly worth buying. The rank and file
are daily deserving.
The negotiations for Mr. Broaheads withdrawal
in favor of Henry NJ. Fuller, in the I'd District have
not been completed. This bargaining has also dis
gusted Mr.. Bells friends exposing the selfish mo-
tives of Mr.. Fuller and others, who the mana
gers of the party and who only regard their per-
sonal elevation and profit.
The Washington correspondent Of the Tribune
under date of Oct 18th, said
The attempt of the City Executive Bell Committee
to transfer the party to Mr. Foster has produced
intense excitement among Mr.. Bells sincere friends
who say they will not be sold TO LOcO-FOcoism.
Several Of their meetings at Frankfort and other
places last night repudateG this movement by for

HENRY WINTER DAVIS in his Baltimore speech ex-
pressed his disgust at the fusions that were being
made in of the Northern States to defeat LIN
coin, and referring to the BELL men who had been
engaged in endeavoring to bring about such an ar
r2nFment, said he thought d" the honorable gentle
men who have given it their assent will regret it
when it is too late" lie asks, what good is a fu-
sion to beat LINCOLN going to do Mr. BELL" He
says Il will do everything that is honorable to
elect JOHN BELL; rH do nothing to preUent the de-
feat Of Democrat by anybody" He further said
If Mr.. Lincoln shall be President how can he
carry the Government without the support of
the opposition representatives from the South in the
Senate and in the Lower House? If John Bell be
! President, now can he carry on the Government
with only twenty-three members in the House. and
with two Senators to support him? agreeing upon
every of public policy, agreeing on almost
eUay rOte they lrU be called upon to pass IN either

Again the Cincinnati Tines, the old Know-Noth-
ing organ, fOots up the entire BELL and EVER
vote in ftyfOur counties, at the late elections
as S237. In these counties it gives the FILLMORE
vote Of 1856 as 22,l76-a loss of 1929 or nearly
tlrotLirds of the whole Know-Nothing strength
