Union, without making il side qita non that they
shall abandon the candidates of their choice and
vote for Bell and Everett
We don't think We are much Of partisan. We
Announced before the Charleston Convention met,
that we were prepared TO support its nominee If it
gave us conservative and reliable man. We did
this because we wanted TO see the South unitc,l,
even as we want TO see the same thing now. That
Convention, instead of giving ussuch man, broke
TO pieces, and gave us nobody. Nor are we parti-
san enough to attack daily the candidates of the
Democracy, as some of their orators and
pres es are constantly doing with regard
to Mr.. Bell. We had much rather see candidate
for the Presidency elected upon his own mcritstha
upon the real or fanced dcmerits of his opponent.
This much may be said at lcast--that in our Spar
tizau' ship of Mr.. Bell, we have said nothing de-
rogatory of the personal or political character OF
the other candidates. In regard to the I" sine gl,d
non" spoken of II is not we who make it, but it is
made by the political circumstances and necessities
Of the times. We cannot control events. What
we have to do is wisely to shape conduct in the
light of these events and take things as they come
We think the best interests of the country in the
present state of affairs, require the election Of Mr.
Bell. If our correspondent thinks differently, or
any one else honestly thinks differently we have nc
cause of complaint against him, because we know
there is scarcely any subject political otherwise
upon which honest men may not honestly and con.
scientiously differ.
