LET IT BE REMEMBERED.
That John Bell of Tennessee, the OPP
position candidate for President, voted,
in 1886 and 1888, for the reception of
Abolition petitions by Congress, and
that he was the only Southern member
who thus voted against his section.
Let it be remembered, that whenever
this section was brought before Con-
gress, John Bell voted always side by
side with John Quincy Adams and
Joshua X. Giddings, rank AbolitiOnists.
Let it be remembered, that John Bell
voted against the repeal of that Odlous
restriction upon the South-the Missouri

worthy of Southern confidence or of as
ISOLATION with any political party at the
South.

voted for the admission of California,

protesting to sustain the Constitution,
the Union, and the enforcement Of the
laws.

Everett, the Opposition candidate for
Vice President, subscribed to a testimo-

Edward Everett said, in a letter written
long afterwards, that he agreed with

ment vas an attempt to prove that
Southern shareholders were inhuman,
immoral, barbarous, dishonest and dis
honorable.
