81 also felt proud to hear the speech of the
distinguished Senator from Tennessee, Mr.
BELL"
! The evidences Of Bells completely with the
Abolitionists are also found, (says the Union, }
in such compliments as Mr. Seward paid him
in his speech delivered to the Abolitionists OF
Detroit, published in the Tribune of 1847 or
1913, in which he characterizes Mr. BILL as
the only Senator from the South who had
dealt fairly with the North.
1t will be found in such compliments as
the following from the great organ of Black
Republicanism, the New York Tribune, called
forth by report that by reason of his health
Mr.. BELL contemplated resigning his seat in
the Senate
ale is as robust and hale to-day as when
he bearded and conquered the old lion, An
drew jackson in his den and as resolved and
ready to do service as tohen SINGLE HANDED he
| trdpely encountered the WHOLE SOUTH upon tie
| Nebraska bill, AND CARRIED TERROR INTO THEIR
RANKS. The wisdom and experience of man
so eminent and pure are of no ordinary value
at this time, when the country is convulsed
with the wars of faction and the spirit of sub
jugdtion is abroad, threatening to overshadow
new land Of promise, Kansas. Let US
hope they will be long exercised in the Senate
or in some higher capacity, where the country
may equally enjoy their advantage"
1t will be found in such extracts as the fol-
lowing from the New York Tribune, when
discussing, in 1858, the nomination of Presi-
dental candidate by its party:
"Most certainly we should prefer an orig
inal Republican-Gov. Seward or Gov Chase
for instance-but we shall heartily and zeal
ously support one like JOHN BELL, Ed
ward Bates or John NJ. Bolts, provided we
are well assured that his influence, his patron
age, his power, if chosen President, will be
used not to extend slavery, but to confne il
within the States that see fit to uphold it."
1t will be found in such evidence of graft
tude, respect and confidence, as was manifes-
| ted by Truman Smith, Horace Greeley, Ray
mond, Brooks and others, in their letter of
june the 9Th, 1858, rendering Mr.. BELL the
compliment of public dinner, and in which
they say
1.-THE undersigned have observed through
years, with profound and increasing admira-
ton. your eminently, patriotic, statesmanlike
and truly national course in the concils Of our
common country, signalized by devotion to
| the institutions, not of section merely, but
of our whole Union, and especially in late
critical and dangerous emergency, in which
| perilons agitation has been Gained, and
probability Of civil war asserted, in good
part through your wisdom justice and modera-
tom
And in the reply of Mr.. Bell, in which he
says
among the names subjoined to the invita-
ton l recognize many familiar to the whole
country, as eminent In the various walks of
public life, some who have been distinguished
in the public service, others who have given
direction and tone to opinion, and others still |
who have but recently stood in comparative |
political antagonism.
'fWhen these various shades of opinion are |
thus blended together, and actuated by COM
mon impulse in arriving at a common object, |
it augurs well for the success of the cause |
with.which they are identified. In the pres
ent position of public affairs, no assurance is
more suspicious, than that such men should |
unite, animated by the same patriotic inspira-
ton, and act together for that great end, by
which the country may be redeemed from the
rule of ultraism the excuses Of party may
be restrained, stagnant commerce may be re-
yiyed, and suffering industry protected
The 'rule of ultraism, !" to which he referred
was evidently the rule Of the Democratic party
and not the ultraism OF the gentlemen he was
addressing.
It will be found in the columns of another
organ of Black Republicans, the New York
Times, in which correspondent discussing
the probabilities as to the Chicago nominee,
said
"The candidates prominent before the OPP !
position, are Senator Cameron, Senator Sew
ard, VIM. L. Dayton, SENATOR BELL,
Senator Crittenden, Gov. Banks, Abraham
Lincoln, Jno. c. Fremont"
And in confirmation of all these, the writer
in the times proceeded to detail conversation
between several prominent Republicans" :
who stated
"That notwithstanding they were person. :
ally in favor of Seward, yet that it would be
more polite to nominate Southener, so ,
that it might not be said it was a sectional ,
struggle for power. IL ,oas further urged that
BELL, of Tennessee, toas the most available {
candidate for them. t
