Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1853-1862, 1860-08-31

From letter to a friend in the city written by
Democrat of Lincoln county we are permitted to
make the following extract:
arThe Irish Orator. ]. NJ. Davidson, Esq, is all
right for B. and L. with all his heart and head.
Breckenridge and Lane Club was formed here,
Fayetteville) last week. Dr. S. NJ. McElroy, Presi-
dent and Geo. b. Boyes, Secretary, and they all
met at the Courthouse last Saturday night. and
James G. Woods Esq, made a powerful speech,
pouring the hotshot into the Bell-Dougastes in fine
style. Itwas his first political speech, but he is well
posted and made it tell well for our cause. After
long and loud applause for Woods speech, the
Irish Orator was called out who said 1t was too late
for him to open speech. but that he endorsed all
said by Woods, and would give US speech before
long, endorsing B. and l.. and their national plat
form, and go heartily into the canvass Besides
nearly all our leading Democrats, we have with us
for B. and L., that sterling citizen
Esq, hitherto an Opposition man. You may set
down old Lincoln at 600 majority for Breckenridge
and Lane, sure.
From a good Democrat sending for the paper at
Chestnut Mound, we learn: "The Democracy are
all right up here knew of but one Democrat in
this county who is for DOUGLAS A few of the OPP
position are for him account of BELLS support
of the CONDENSATION Bill This is what 1 call
straight-out honesty
From of the best men at Knoxville, sending for
a large lot of documents, we are pleased to learn
that: "When in Kentucky few days ago, Mr.. MoN-
ROE, of the Kentucky Statesman, also, the Courier
| informed me that they would certainly give this
noble State to BRECKNRIDeE and LANE. They told
me moreover, to say to you that long as Tonnes
continued to aoor she is doing they would
make any and all sacrifices for the cause. Why not
then up and be doing Never let it be said of us that
let this glorious old State lost to by our SUI
pineness The UNION AND AMERIcANis doing good SER
vice" Let our Democrats elsewhere read and act as
our friend C. advises. Let US all work, and work
altogether, and victory shall again be ours.
We learn from an excellent Democratic friend at
| GAINESVILLE sending for large number Of docu-
ments, that: 1.-The Democracy of this county are al
most unit for BRECKENRIDGE and LANE. know of
bnt two DOUGLAS men in this town, and do not be-
lieve there are twenty in the county. We lave Or
ganized BRECKENRIDGE and LANE club here, at
which there was large turn out. 1t was SPLEEN
did meeting. W. A. QUARLEs and a. ROBB made fine
speeches, and the enthusiasm ran high. QUARLEs
made the most telling speech ever heard him make.
His whole soul is enlisted in this canvass
From friend at Facility, Tenn, sending us a
large club of subscribers, glad to hear that
/" Democracy will give full vote in November
next to MONROE and MCMINN, ard BRECKENRIDGE and
LANE will get as many, and 1 honestly think more
votes than was given to the Democratic candidate
last summer"
A good Alabama democrat writing from Marion
in that State, and sending for the paper, says ::
Z" The BREcKNRIDGE and LANE Club of this place will
forward an order, IN a few days, for several hun
dred copies of BELLS record. There but few
DoUGLAsTEs in this section of the State and the true
Democracy confidently expect to carry the State by
at least eight to ten thousand majority over the COM
bined forces of BELL and DOUGLAS"
Our friend NJ, writing from Woodbury. says
notice in all the speeches of the BELL speakers
that they commence on the Democratic party by
saying that they are dsunion administration up
holding DOUGLAS and the of his friends in the
Convention, and they say not what they are for and
what they party are in favor of except the
Union, the Constitution and the enforcement of the
Lqlos' Is not every body in favor of that. Was not
this same John BELL for that when he voted against
the repeal of that unconstitutional compromise He
was then for the Constitution, and yet he upheld an
unconstitutional law Vas he not for the Constitu-
ton when he voted against the Lecompton Constitu-
ton? Yes he was for it then also. This Constiiu-
ton is construed in different ways Does not every
Black Republican in Congress say that they are for
yet they do not Construe it alike. But this afore
SAID JOHN BELL does not say how he does construe
it yet his friends say that they have great conf
dence in him. Yes and so did EVE have great conf
dence in the serpent and by that confidence brought
curse upon the whole world.
HOW Long is the IrrepreSsible Conflict TO
Last!
The correspondent of the New York Herald the
same, we presume who visited Mr.. BELL recently.
has been to see Mr. SEWARD. From his letter to the
Herald we extract the following:
The Governor, as the author of the oftquOted
phrase the ..lrrepressible conflict was asked how
long he thought it would last.
$50 ORq the CrOBg EXISTS and right and reason are
left free to combat H. IhOd that SlaUery is lCrOng, and
myself and those orhO Hliuc 1oi me in conflict
tri those lrho Hinc SJaUay is right There is mid
die ground There be phaOSOphjzing upon the
point The right or lorOng Of Slavery is the only issue"
"Iagree with you. sir" remarked the United States
Marshal, strong Breckenridge man, there are but
two sides to the question Is slavery right wrong?
That's the only question and on that issue go with
the South
Every one is entitled to his own opinion" said
Gov. Seward, and he proceeded to give in detail
some of his views on slavery, before enunciated
in the American Senate.
So it seems that the Black Republicans are deter
mined "tO hdraSS as toreue," and Mr.. BELLS hour
for the dissolution of the Union has arrived.
