SALE OF THE BELL-EyERETTS
~ The N Y. Trihunn.

perceive that nowhere has there appeared any &C.
coun. Of the negotiations beywse the Douglas Com.
mi.tee on the part of the Convention and the Bell
Everett Committee which resulted in the fusion Eec-
toral ticket 1t has occurred to not few doubtless
that those negotiations important part of this
interesting chapter in the record of the fusion move
ment and corresponding interest has been felt in
knowing more about it than has yet been given. Ru.
proceeding from various sources relates tn at the
coalition was at time the point Of failing wholly
on account of the extraordinary demands of the Bell
Everetts. These demands understood have BEEN
In part at least thai Gov Hunt should be one of the
Electors at Large. This was instantly rejected by the
Douglasites as wholly out Of the question. Accompa.
nyiDg this demand part rather was the orc that
the Bell Everetts should have fifteen of the thrty-fve
Electors, while the DOuelsstes were willing to con-
cede but eight Here wide difference, in the
reconeilement of which, it is said, much ill-fee-
ing was epgendered. On the ell-Hveret as well as
on the Douglas Committee, there were several ugly
customers, aud impracticabe men, not the least of
whom, on the part Of the former, was Mr.. James
Brooks of The Express, who succeeded in thoroughly
disgusting the great body of both Committees. AS al
ready stated, short work made of Gov. Hunt aud
tie preensions of bis friends in his behalf 1t should
be mentioned that previous this many Of the Bell
Everett Committee had become pretty sharp set in
their ideas Of their share Of the Electoral Ticket be-
they bad been taken notice of by the Demo-
csts in framing their State ticket 1t leaked out that
Mr. Jesse c. Dam of Buffalo had been nursing rather
securely but altogether So aspirations for the
inacn for the post of Lieutenant Governor on the
Democratic ticket something due TO him and TO the
Americans vho were ;ected to dissolve themelves
in the Douglas Democracy. The Democrats say that
be never told his love"-at least not to them and
(astdt they add, it would have made sort of differ
ence ifhe lad. Fifteen of the thirty Ve and Gov Hunt
for one Of the State electors, the claim of
the BenEveretts, therefore, and they were crank
as you please about it, too AS have already said
Gov. Hunt was disposed of instanter. No personal
slight intended, of course; but then, they could
not think of the thing for single moment nor could
the claim of fifteen be tolerated with any better relish
The Douglasites FL ed the number at eight and there
the two Com mites hung fire. The negotiations that
ensued consumed the whole of night aud the most of
the next day. The work of the night was knockedin
the head by outsiders the next mornings and, has
already been said the loving fusioniss went to sea in
a glorious state of tibulation Nor did they come
back again and finally agree upon terms before
the two Committees had become thoroughly Disguised
with each other and with the whole
lary with brother Brooks. Precisely how the differ
ences were arranged is as yet unwritten history.
Certain am by any thing that MrBrooks said
OF did as Mr.. William Duer can probably testify. In
the end nobody was satisfied. Mr.. Damn and his
Buffalo friends were particularly dissatisfied Indeed,
fear that that gentemans aspirations are destined
never to be realized.
The sum and substance of the fusion business was,
Dean Rcbmonds IDEA carried out, which was thas
the Bell-Everetis didn't amount to much, aud weren't
worth much Consequently but small price was
given for them. They got some of their men on the
ticket but appears they there TO vote for Douglas
and not for Bell and Everett

At meeting recently held in Atlanta, Ga, Mr..

to defense of himself against the charge Of disunion-
ian. The InteHigcneer says:
" He referred TO a remark of Mr. Wright at
Douglas meeting here the other evening, In which ne
(Mr Wright is said 10 have compared Mr.. Yancey, IN
going back to the Baltimore Convention, having
seeded from Charleston, TO { a growing, crlngng

bus loot, and thus repelled the sander. |"
