Mr.. Bells Record.

The Democratic papers in this and other States Lave
been publishing ga Review" of Mr. Bells public career,
made up from the Nashville TENN Union (nOt the Ma
tional Unon) It's general character may be inferred
from the fact that one of its most serious charges
against Mr. Bells course on the Compromise OF
1885, it being alleged that no voted with the fanatics Of
tho North against the South. But it is shown that the
Nashville Union, which now assas him for his course
them did in 1853 far approve of that couree as to eI
press its satisfaction that Mr. Bell reelected to the
United States Senate rather than any other Wing, and
moreover that Mr. Bell owed his election then, in 1853
to Democratic votes therebeng contest between him
aud another Wing Now can it be believed that If Mr.
Bell had been false to the South in 1885, the Democrats
would have voted in 1853 TO send him back to the Sen
ate or that the Nashville Union would not have assa
cd him them as well as now for his aithessness' The
whole story Is evidently trumped up.

The Charleston Mercury, Of recent date, says:
"Mr Douglas upon the back of this insOent assertion
Of hs cannot possible make speech in South Carolina
His voice will not be tolerated in this State-even
though it be free country. 1t than the whole
some condition Of his skin is worth lie would be kicked
from every stump in the State. The cry Of shame from
every quarter Of the South should rise up against Vr
GINA that she has only permitted her soil TO be des

Southern sister States but have been found there
found in masses to boot this Western BLACKBOARD
with their cOwardly shouts applause. Shame shamel
upon poor old Virginia Who could have thought she
would have come to this!"
Yes and this is the spirit Of the Disunon party sup
porting Breckenridge and Lane. They go North and
vilfy all Northern men, to their teeth and if North
ern man come South and simply speak the words OF
truth and sOberness Douglas did, he must be kicked
from every stump in the State. The offence Of Douglas
is that he answered at Norfolk, that If Lincoln were
elected fairly he for sustaining his administration
provided be committed no other offence than that Of being
elected. Old Joe Lane said the at indianapolis
since Douglas said it in Norfolk Why not kick him of
OF every stump?

We were deprived the pleasure Of hearing the admra
bic speebh of VIM. H. mcfarland, Esqp Of this city, at
the Club House. week before last aud hence we made no
reference to it in our columns at the time We gladly
repair our omission, hOweverby copying from the BAl
more American, of Wednesday the following highly and
dsservedly complimentary tribute to Mr.. Ms speech
and to his patriotism abilities and accomplishments:
The canvass in Virginia has been distinguished oil
late by the appearance Of gentlemen upon the stump who
are not often willing leave their retirement to paruc
nate in such scenes In addition 70 those able and USE
fa men who always ready to instruct and enghten
their feloW-czens observe that others who are not
often seen upon the stage coming forth from their
retirement and exhibiting the deep sense OF the present
critical state of public affairs which Pervadng the puo
lie mind of Virginia Among these we observe that m
H. mcfarland, Esq, Of Richmond, has addressed win
his usual ability and effect, meeting OF the Union men
Of that city, of which he has been so long resident ana
where bis eminent talents worth are so unver
lily known and appreciated. We know no more striking
Instance Of the eXclusveDess and intolerance Oh
Democratic sscendency In Virginia than the os-
tracism of gentlemen within her own limits whose
only crime is = difference Of political OPINION
cline which no dignity and moderation in the express
sion of their views and no talents however exalted
could extenuate. Mr. Mcfarland is as far above the
ordinary common politicians Of the day as It Is possible
to conceive With talents that would grace any posi-
ton in the Union and with personal dignity thar mas
ever kept him aloof from the Office and notoretyhunt-
ing crowd it is only upon such emergencies as the pre-
sent that he comes before the people, and comes only
that he NAV aid in rallyng the conservative sentiment
of Virginia and place her at this critical moment in her
true Union and national position. Mr. Mcfarland be-
longs to the same class of statesmen and scholars with
Everett and Winthrop Of Massachusetts, and Rves and
Summers of Virginia He has intellect at once pro-
found practical and elegant and isremarka6ie as pub
lie sneaker for the power of his thoughts the elegance
OF his dction and the transparent purity OF his style
Il may be truly said Of both his spoken and written COM
positions nhh tsiigit 9TOd OrnGrit. We rejoice
TO see such coming forth from the reiracy OF pr-
waite life and lending his powerful aid to the ship
of State from the breakers upon which she is mady
rushing If be and such he bad not been from youth
TO age excluded from all share in her management as
il they we're public enemies, she would not be in her
nresant narilous condition.

Why the BreckInIIdgers Desire LIneOln's
Election.

The New York Day Book Democratic, the Toledo
Blade and other Northern papers, are very directly con-
veying the idea that Lincoln if elected will not remove
the present Southern OcehOder and the way in which
the ntimation is given creates Wellfounded suspicion
that it is so understood by the parties interested 1t is
rather humiliatng to believe any set OF men, in the
South so sordid and INSCRIPTIONS as thus to sell them
selves and their section and that too when they profess
Unsuitable hostility to the who is to purchase them
Can this be the solution Of the question so often asked
why ar. the Breckenridge striving so hard to elect
Lincoln If So is another phase of degradation which
Democracy has not heretofore exhibited But there is
reason why the Brecknrdgers are working for Lincoln,
aud if they not for dsunion as they assert they
not then the reason above given is the only one that
presents ITSELF With no hope for Office from Demo-
cratic AdmnisratOnt may be that they look to Lincoln
as their only chance and for that chance would sell the

Last December Mr. Breckenridge said at Frankfort -

h,ll untrue AentucEy II dld not plead for the
Union of all opposed to that dangerous Organization

It's defeat is to surrender to its domination and all the
fatal consequences that may ensue." These the
views of Breckenridge before YAncey placed his mark
upon him. but in four five months after they were
expressed he gave the lie to his sincerity and honest
convictions by accepting the Baltimore nomination. and
throwing all his weight against the union Of all opposed
to Black Repubcanism, preferring to hazard 's dom
nation and all the fatal consequences that may ensue
rather than reject the guided bauble presented to his in
ordinate ambition. Mr. Breckenridge is good looking
but "he can't come in )" and will not do to tie to.

Scarcity of Money.

Let the merchants mechanics aud lAborers Of Rchuond
remember that the present scarcity Of money is caused
by the uncertainty which hangs political AZ
fairs There is just much money in the country as
there ever was Indeed there is more and bankers are
just as anxious speculate upon it, but they afraid
they do not know what these wild Dsunionsts will be
able to effect to what extent of excitement they will be
able to work up the feelings of the people, and therefore
they close their Golfers and lock up their money in their
vaults.

Everett and if these patriots should be elected easy

No Platform,

The principal objection urged against Bell and Everett
Is that they have PLATFORM as if there was any need
of platform for who stands upon the Constitution
of the Union aud the Laws Of the country as they
expounded by the Supreme Court of the United States
VIII these hypercritical obctors have the goodness to
tell us what was the platform OF Washington, and JEFF
frson, and Madison, and Monroe, and JacksonS What
did Washington say when they proposed platform to
him And what would Jackson have said if they had
dared to propose such thing to hims No party plat
form is necessary for honest, capable, tried expert
