The extent to which we hear of conversions to
the National Democracy from the Southern support
ers Of Douglas and Bell, augurs well for Southern
unity on the 9Th of November. For weeks past
Virginia has furnished q constantiy-Increasng list
of politicians heretofore classed with the OPPOSE
ton, but who have. now taken their places in the
Breckenridge ranks, prepared to labor heartily for
the defeat of Lincoln. Now the same cheering in
telIigence comes from Kentucky, where judging
from published letters, regular stampede has set
in amongst the Bell and Douglas men; and in a
greater or less degree from Tennessee, Georgia,
Alabama, and elsewhere.
a more encouraging sign conld not be desired.
The bare possibility of an abolition triumph is bad
enough; but Northern sectiOnalism succored by
Southern divisions were calamity to be ayerted by
any reasonable sacrifice. The good sense and pa
trotsm of the people are fast removing this great
source of weakness and danger. The necessity of
unity the part of the South is admitted by every
body; and the duty which selfish managers would
Ignore is being manfully undertaken by those whom
they expected to lead whithersoever they pleased.
The hopeessness of eeeting either Bell or Douglas
by any imaginable combination has become apparent
10 all; and leaders and followers instead of crimi-
naly wasting strength, are JnIning the friends Of
Breckenridge and Lane, as the only party able to
save the country from threatened peril. rf .
In the presence of this growing disposition ac-
complish unity, the Southern tour Of Mr.. Douglas
and the frantic appeals of the Bell journals and COM
mittees in Virginia and Tennessee wood be ludi-
crous were they not disgraceful. Gould they have
their way the South would be the scene of purpose
less partisan strife its interests eopardzed its spr
it embttered its strength fritered away to crafty
the malignant jealoEsies of candidates who have
nothing in common but their antipathies to the De-
mocracy and its principles. Thank goodness, their
schemes are being eectually frustrated by the bet
ter class of their adherenis in the South Bat one

trust that there viii be but MISREPRESENTATION

AeSsrs. Editors :In your issue of the I'D instant

doubt if this discovery is true; and consequently
our continent was known to the people of Europe
before its discovery by Columbus. But that is not
the only point which | want to notice in this con-
nexion. My object is TO direct the attention of
American historians or antiquarisns to a similar
statement in Cardinal Wseman's treatise on ''TRS
Coaaerion bettceen Science and ReUedled hgion, in
which that accomplished scholar and Archaeological
states it for fact when speaking of the aboriglnes
of America, that there manuscripts in the Fati
can library at Rome which say that this country
was known to Missionaries of the Eternal City in
the tenth century. aud concludes his remarks the
subject by asking the question. "Who can enlghten
US on the subject" words to that effect Il have
not the work now before me.) The records found
in the Danish archives since this work writ

tinent was known to the Mortimer before it was
discovered by Columbus; but this last development,
if true. as have above said, removes all doubt of
that interesting fact Thomas FTNAS.
