cheering indications Of awakening enthusiasm in
favor OF JOHN BELL and EDWARD Everett. 1t is mposs
BILE that rejecting men, and true patriots at heart could
for moment weigh the critical condition in which the
Union has been placed by the arts OF demaggues and the
comparative merits of the candidates already offered for
their Sufiages, who likely to be presented, with
out according to the glorious statesmen whose names
constitute the caption of this article, their heartest sup
port We have already given copou extracts from the
opinions Of the presses in the various sections OF the
aon, the additional give to-day are those OF we'll
\ known and influential journals.
From the Huion Aia,J AiasriccH.
Ours is the only national party in existence that has
the shadow Of a chance to succeed 1t may fail We shall
not pretend to deny it, but if it shall then let the South
set her house in order" This is the last tine only
naming hope to defeat the Republicans, aud We call
upon all men who really love their country better than
party name all who desire the preservation of the Con
sttuon aud the perpetuty OF the Union, to come out
from among the factonsts and array themselves on the
side OF their country
For nearly half a century John Bell has been in the
service OF his country aud DEFY the world TO point
one single act OF his which shows him wanting in nteg
rity honesty capacity or patriotism. He in his
sxtyouuh year, having been born iu February 1896
matured statesman, of great sagacity and Roman firm
ness upon whose fair escucheon enemy can point TO
one foul tlot.
| From the Boston EUenipg Gazette Independently
It is gratifying to note with what marked uuanimty
the nomination OF Edward Everett received while
the comments Of the country, with few scurIlouS ex-
ceptOus have been such that there be mEtaking
the position which he holds in the esteem of the people
IL is sad TO reflect that rckery and corruption have, OF
late Years been more available commodities in the pO-
cal market than honesty and talent and believe this
third party if il accompshes no greater good will fulfil
high mission by making both parties fully aware that
unless they change their tactics 10y throwing aside small
political gamblers, and adopting leaders whom the people
eau respect the "bOue and Siuew' will resort to that
standard which held 10y men who are not merely pro
tessors OF principles but firm supporters OF what they
| profess 20 have 50 near at heart
| From the KunSds Ctr (No) Enquirer Independent
Two Purer patriots greater statesmen could not
have been selected by the Uuionoyng, conservative
| party TO which they owe allegiance.
Their history Is the history OF the Republic. In the
councils Of the Nation both have written the creed
they profess, and in the coming contest will be judged
accordingly. They men who on no occasion have
shruuk from espon>bility-whO5e patriotism and
fidelity to the Constitution cannot be shaken ques
toned.

From the GresnJrier independents
Bell and Everett shall cordial support and
/ best exertions for their election.
| From all can learn, no ADLER statesman
now be found than John Bell. His patriotism and deyO-
ton the best interests OF tue country unqueston
ed believe. Conservative III his sentiments be plants
himself upon the Constitution, the Uuon Of the States
and the enforcement of the laws. Since is that
those who try settle the slavery question by talking
about it, getting wider and wider apart, and threat
en- TO the Union Mr. Bell for dropping its fur
ther discussion aud making united effort 10 put down
sectional antagousms and restore peace and concord to
the country.
Who will not Join him in that laudble design Ger
tauly all will DO So who tired Of controversy and
desire quiet among the people Of all sections.
Edward Everett is the ripes scholar and most accom-
plshsd orator land contains. Who that has ever
heard read OF his Grafton Washington can doubt
his pstrctism2 His exertions in behalf of Mount Yer
non alone will render his name Immortal. Like John
Bell he is for the Union-the Union as Washington
left it, and as he counseed his countrymen to maintain
it.
Bell and Everett, men good aud true Let their no.

faction aud sectonaism have had their dag, aud that
/ more hopeful period is about rolling into view
