scene IS supposed to have occurred:
"Alay il please the Court" said Mr.
Brown. so,iaring lis shoulders, as though |

The Court looked at Mr.. D. in astonisli~

"Turrah fof the Little Giant" shouted
Mr.. B., with keen look at the Court to

"Hurrah for Lincoln and Hamlin," he
shouted as loud as ever.

THE RACE BETWEEN BELL AND LINCOLN.
Every day (says the Richmond Whig)
serves to accumulate evidence of the fact
that the heat of the present contest is be-

every vote for either takes from Mr.. Bell
and adds to the relative strength of Lin
coin. The duty of all conservative patri-
OTIS, of all sections, now is to rally to the
standard OF Bell and Everett.

Gle complimented Mr. Bell as a sound,
honest man, and Mr.. Everett as pure,
high toned, noble gentleman, whose sense

one of the purest men of the Republic, as
vile Abolitionist.' Common decency
ought to close the mouths of the SANDER
ers, if nothing else could
