Bell, dispairing of getting up a sharn-DemOcratic
ticket for DoUeLAs in Tennessee, are favoring the
adoption of joint ticket to be voted for by both
the friends of BEII. and DOUGLASS VIII you walk

an editorial from DoUGIAs paper established at Alb

that Mr.. DOUGLAS viii receive the Democratic vote
Of the Northern States and viii certainly receive
large vote in the South if not majority; bat if
see that zoe dremistoken IN our opinion during the
Uass and that Bel and Everett loig recsise the H Uote

Here says the Banner is the spirit of true
patriot and an example for thousan Is in the South
who honestly think and beleUe cR act in the same
way What genial and generous sentiment is
springing up between these kindred factions

of the DOUGLAS ratification meeting at Memphis, and

Middle Tennessee who 81 with them" will carry
thousands of the rank and le in obedience to their
honest sentiments and in defiance of party drill and
official influence, Iwhere y against the sectional tick
st" that is, as we understand the Banner, in favor
of BELL and EVERETT There is where every recu-
SAINT Democrat is expected to land, and the sooner
they understand it the better.
The DoUeIAs party at the North are playing a
similar game. They trying to gather recruits
from the Black Republicans on the ground that it is
the only means of defeating the election of BRECK-
1SRIDaE and LANE, as viii be seen by the following
specimen of their newspaper appeals, taken from
the Chicago Times:
Now, as Lincoln's election IS an ascertained i'm
possibility we have to ask the people of the North
west whether they will throw away their votes for
4 man who cannot be elected. and thereby the
risk of eeeting the Southern Disunion ticketY Which
do they prefer the slave-eode and slavetrade can
ddates or the man who for three years has success
fully encountered and has beaten back, the slave
codeites who has stripped them Of the mask under
which they had hidden disunion, and compelled
them to avow their purpose to precptate the cotton
States into revolution, having for Its object the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the Union.
As Lincoln cannot be elected every vote thrown
away upon him IS indirectly avote for Breckenridge.
It is vote 80 carry the election into Congress- where
it may ultimately result in the election OF the IN
competent and demOralized Joe Lane.
The Louisville Democrat since its editor has got to
Neil NiAS SuAhOI VI bnO
Journal and since the principal part of its patron
age has been chsnged from slave to free soil, has
lost much of its former bitterness towards CAssIUs
NJ CLAY, and begins to call him by pet names and to
dissent from his position in the most tender manner.
For instance the following paragraph is the notice
which the Democrat made Of the RECENT visit of that
Abolition emissary to Louisville:
CASH CLAY-GaIlant Cash made a speech at the
courthouse last night TO fair audience most of which
was attracted te see Cash. rather than to listen to
his sentiments and views upon political topics. Cash
is ingenious. He handles Kentucky crowd skill
fully He denounces slavery and pats che masters on
the back good fellows. IN the language OF Paddy
he sslithers iem down an thin butthers EN- up
lie explained Republicanism as he understands it,
but not as most of his party understand its tenets
He is conservative, compared with the most OF his
party. He iodS rqh hOloeUer, IN Sigtng Douglas the
regdr Democratic nominee according 10 Tie llSdgeS o.
the arty and the SecedsrS as boilers and SectOadiSs.
Cash is bound on missionary tour through Indiana
Better save YOUR breath Cash. Indiana is bound to
60 far Douglas.
Now. as gallant CASH has turned witness for
DOUGLAS that he is the is T" the regular Democratic
nominee, and the Seceders boilers and Sectional
lists" and as Indiana is bound SO for DoUGLAs,"
would it not be wen for gallant CASH to "save
his breath" and give it TO the man who, speaking
through his special organ at Chicago, claims q" for
three years to have successfully encountered and
beaten back the slave-codeites,n against whom
gallant CASH and his abolition friends espe-
cially emb,ttered2 This we understand to be mean
ing Of the Democrat
Are the people of the South blind! Have they
not the ordinary perception of men7 Are they ex-
peeted to become the instruments Of their own de-
graduation and disgrace? Is it supposed that they
can be duped by miserable pretendeIs and pratng
demagogues into the sanction of policy that would
reckessly gamble with their most sacred rights, to
build up the fortunes of aspiring men, who would
elevate themselves upon the ruins of their country
and whose unholy ambition is better suited to a
people where men make hemsel0es Presidents after
the fashion Of NAPoLEoNs
Let every honest man who has been disposed to
follow the lead Of DOUGLAS and of BELL dispassion
ately consider and determine his answer to these
questions We cannot believe that we have over
rated the discriminating sense and patriotism of the
people, and therefore think we know their response.
