Henry Winter Davis at Baltimore and John H.
Bolts at Richmond haze recently made fJrcible
speeches to their 4" National Unioo" cOmpstriots
| against Fusion with the dodble-headed Demo
| cIacy. They are for Bell and Everett, but they
| are not for Douglas or for Breckiorjge; on the
| cont airy, they regard the Democratic politicians
| in and out Of Congress as the chief authors aud
in. pirers of Slavery Agitation and Of yerythiug
else which they, as Conservatives AMI UGOaists,
hold in adherence. Much as they would depre-
cate the success of Lincoln aod the Republicans,
they regard this Lesser evil thaa thu perpetual
ton Of Democrat msrule and It's inevitable con.
SEQUENCES r Iilibusterism a med at Mexico and
Central Ame ics incessaDt iutr'gues for the en-.
forced acquisition of Cuba or make-belieSe.
thereof-aI tending to embroi the No 'th aud South,
and fonent new causes of disqqiet ID alienation.
The tue CUnseIv atiVes Of the South shrink from
fraternziDg ether with the head repudator of the
Missouri Compact or with the allies OF Yancey,
| Keitt, and other madcaps of the Cotton region.
| They choose to fight under their own flag, aud
take the ct al ces OF legitimate add honorable success
| rather than submeIgs themselves 10 a Fusion
long antagonists but an ab1ratiou of every thiog
distinctive in their principles, their Organization
| and their destiny. These views are clearly and
| foIciby presented by bpth Mr.. DAVIS and MI
Bott.. and, if duly circulated, cannot fail to iofd
epce the pubic sentiment Of tho UIionist, OF the
| South.
Ore confederation however, whics seems 10 US
most forcibe Of all, seems to lave been overlooked
| b, both the gent eG en- above named; 80 We submit
| 1t TO then judgment and to that of Southern Un-
| iOI lets generally.
| IfMr. Bell i, TO be- elected President, it must
be by the House; for there will Dot be Bell Ele,
tors enough seriously supported to render his choice
| BY t. people possible. Mr. Bill, then, must be
chosen, if at all, By the House Of Repres mt ,tves
wherein the vote of clear majority of ID deega.
| ton from each of seventeen States is required
| Now the Honse stands divided as foley:

Now, as The Federal Constitution re lIires that
the House shall elect one of the three hi chest
ddates in tho L ectora Vote, it is morally certain
that, should the Election be sent to Congress, Me-.
Bell mu.t ebter the House. if at all 10 competition
with Mr.. Lincoln and one of the two Democratic
| candidates.
How, then, is Mr. Bell to emerge from that
House President, chosen by the vote ofamSjorty OF
! the members from each Of seventeen S,atesl
| Let US suppose-as is most probable--that Mr..
| BreckinIdee ,hall be returned to the House 10
common with Messis. Ii colo ADD Belly the rOies

Msnifestly, if elected at oil, he must be by the
votes of the Lincoln States, or Of number OF
em-Penns, lvania and New Jersey am ng them.
| There is no other conceivable wsy. To expect the
Fl eEsnrs, many Of whom would rather have no
President elected that one not entirely Of their own
