POLITICAL ITEMS.
| PESNsYLyANIA.-The Union News is the name
of new Bell and Everett paper we have received
from Harrisburg, the capital of Pennsylvania.
GREAT MEETING IN MoBILE.-The Advertiser of
Tuesday morning says:
The largest and most enthusiastic political meet
ing held thus far this season in Mobile came off
last night at Odd Fellows Hall. The hall was lit
orally jammed full, and seldom have we seen so
interested and delighted an audience.
Col. Dawson spoke about three hours, with
great power, eloquence and effect, and the result
| was most inspiring to the Bell and Everett men,
| and we trust to the conversion of many hating
and misguided Democrats.
| The late hour at which the meeting broke up
precludes anything more than this hasty notice.
1 After adjournment, an impromptu procession
| was formed, and we believe escorted the Sixth
Ward Rangers, who came down in procession in
full force to the meeting, back to their quarters.
The meeting was brilliant success, and must
/ exert happy influence upon the progress Of the
| good cause in Mobile.
| The Mercury, Democratic, says of the same
meeting:
| The Bellites had Jam of meeting last night at
| Odd Fellows Hall to hear Mr.. Dawson. They had
crowd and no mistake, and there is no use in
denying it.
A sreN1FrcANr TEsT.-After the Grand Lodge
business in this city on Friday evening and adj
| journed, a leading Republican, who represented
one Of the Northern States, poled the vote of the
membership upon their choice for the Presidency.
| The result was as follows: For Bell 80 for Lin
coin, Is; for Douglas, Is; and for Breckin-
| ridge IT.
These gentlemen represent every State and Ter
ritory in the Union, and the decided plurality for
Bell and Everett is only an index of the result in
November. Nashville Banner.
The Hon William L. Yancey, of Alabama,
passed through this city yesterday morning, en-
route for the North. [Lynchburg Yirginian
BELL AND EVERETT N ARKANsAs.-Extrac from
a business letter received by a gentleman of this
city from his friend in Arkansas, dated the 10th
inst Nashville Banner.
e The Bell men here do not falter. They gain
strength each week. They are enthusiastic, SAN
gnine and active.
The Democrats seem apathetic, Douglas is
gradually gaining ground in quiet way. For in
stance since the State elections, both the Demo-
cratic members from this county have declared
openly for Douglas.
A leading attorney. a stauneh Democrat. and
man of wealth and influence in elections, has also
determined to support Douglas. There are recent
things-events that are quietly progressing around
US here, where little or no support of Douglas was
expected. In the northern part OF the State he
will carry large vote.
With this split and united effort of the Wings,
bringing out all their material, and gaining Access
sions from conservative Democrats, say again,
Look out for Arkansas
GONE TO MEET YAScEY. The z War Horse,n
Timothy Rives Esq, left this city Wednesday morn
ing for Abingdon, where he intends meeting Mr..
Yancey in a rousng tilt with visor down and gloves
off. He took with him large bag, filled, he said,
a with every scrap of treason Yancey had uttered
from his cradle up to now.h 1t was ponderous
looking sack. Petersburg (Va.) Express.
OLD BUCK ExERrISG HIMSELF FOR BELL.-The
Postmaster at Keokuk Mo-, Col. Patterson, was
removed few days ago, not for loving Democracy
less, but for loving Douglas more, and Mr.. Jamie
son, Bell and Everett man, appointed in his stead
This Is the first good appointment Old Buck has
made since he became President. We presume
the old fellow perceiyes that after the 4th of March
next all the Postmasters will be Bell and Everett
men, and that he might as well appoint few of
them himself, to tighten Mr.. Bells future labors.
