+ Whatever bargains otTsaiesstheiprstend-
ed friends of John Bell may make here or
elsewhere, we know enough of his char
acter and opinions to feel idstifie6sifl say
ing that be has in no manner or form an
thoriztd or encouraged these schemes. Or
In any way given them the sanction of his
appreciation, but must onitRe confrarysre-
gard them with the utmost rcHuIsonf and
disgust. If there was the sem6lAIice of
principle, or of public consideration TO
justify them, some palliation anriUht he
found for the disgracefnl spectacle which
is now presented and audaciously ayowed
IN these selfish combinations. But no
such idea is even professed, and the only
impulse which directs the whole move
menS IS a desire to defeat the election of
AR. Lincoln before the people, and carry it,
into y. O. Congress; where by, bribery corrup-
tlon ana intrigue, the present Infamous
and execrable domination may be cuntin-
ued. q
This is the whole object Mt the bottom
OF al the coalitions, and it is governed
exclusively by the hope that some coutiu-
gency may arise in which the venal mana
gers will be able to partition the spoils
among themselves. Hence it is that we
see men banded together who opposed
and who favored the repeal of the Missouri
Compromise; others who believe that Con-,
gFess is bound to. pass a Slave code; 9TH.
ers who hold that Il Territorial Legislature
may admitsor exclude slavery and others
still who stand between the two extremes
ana are ready to embrace either rs the oc-
caslen may require. They have nothing

patronage and power. The elemcnts thus
fused are only antagonistic, but until this
time they have uniformly denounced each
other with even more bitterness than they
now assail Mr.. Lincoln.
The intelligence came over the wires
only yesterday, that the Brcckinridge lead
ers and oftice-hollers of New York were ut
Washington, consulting with the Presi-
dent anu Cabinet rs to the policy of q
combination in which the three parties
should be represented on one electoral
ticket; that is to say, Douglas, Bell and
Breckinridge should run together! Do
the unprincipled trafficllers who concoct
these barctaced bargains suppose our peo-
pie are mere serfs that they eau be sold
out like sheep at the shambes? We can
tell the managers that they may contract
to sell, but they will never be able to de-

dict confidently that in sixty days from
this time, it will be scattered to the four
winds. with defeat and disgrace to all con-
cerncd in it. Let them go on and make
their bargains. Let these recent enemies
unite and combine as they please. Let
them buy millions who are always open to
convlnctlon Mt election times. Let them
intrigue with the tottering and miserable
dynasty ut Washington. The day of
