majority Of one hundred votes in this parish more
than Fillmore received in 1885, Fillmore's major
ity was l5 votes. This will be large gain,
A late letter from Monroe, Ouachita Parish, says
&c The Breckinridgers claiming the Fourth Con-
gressional District by several thousand majority.
Let them keep on claiming. We don't fear the
result. If the good work progresses in our favor
until the end of the canvass, as it has up to date,
the majority will be very small, and probably on
side at that. Our club at this place is flourish
ing, and every man Jealous in the cause Count on
Onachita for a handsome plurality for Bell and
Everett. Buchanan carried 0uachita by majority
Of 1870 votes.
SENSIBLE TALK.--The ST. Louis Bulletin is a De-
mocratc paper which knows how to do the fair
thing, and the honorable thing. Speaking Of the
Bell and Everett meeting in that city, it says: n
Of the Bell and Everett demonstration we can
only speak in respectful terms, for it was really
respectable affair. There was no denunciation or
lying-no low-fung buncombe speeches, but the
remarks were all OF patriotic nature, and were
well received. The Amercans-or Bell and Eve
rett men--can always get up q good meeting, but
they seem always unfortunate in securing votes
enough. This season, however, they are aroused,
and other parties will have to look to their laurels.
Hos.sJoHH J. conference.-the gentleman is
about to start for New York and he will speak here,
or hereabouts the coming week. Mr.. Crttenden
comes because he is alarmed by the excited condi-
ton Of the public mind; and he wishes to bear tes-
timony to the Northern people that it is very
dangerous making upon SOulIl-
ern forbearance in rnnaiag both candidates for the
two highest offices from the North, upon the ex-
press ground of /" conflict with the South.

He MADE A MIsTAKE.-The staunton (va.) Spec
tator says that whilst Hon. VIM. Smith was making
his speech at Harrisonburg, he alluded in con-
temptuous manner to the Union party when one
of its friends, in a loud clear voice, huzzaed for
Bell and Everett. Mr. S., thinking there could be
but few, and that the response would be very
weak exclaimed: That is right, hurrah for Bell

to speak out, there went up such loud and numer-
Gus shouts for Bell for several minutes that all

THE SIGNS IN GEoRGIA.-A letter to the Augusta
Chronicle from Cobb county, Ca, contains the fol-
lowing cheering news:
| the northeast portion OF Cobb, and have found
all our friends Jealous for our ticket; many old
| Wings, who backed down in '55 and $50, are re-
| turning to us and, more than all, many Demo-
Gratis are for Bel-they say, because he is for the
Union and is the best chance to defeat Lincoln.
| have met many Democrats who declare openly for
Mr.. Bell-tltis is true; am not :" blowing for the
| boys ''-itis true! The town of Roswell was built
| up by the Roswell Manufa etuTing Co., the head
man of which is an old line Democrat-a man of
great energy and business tact. He is for Bell,
| and many other Democrats here. And he
| assured me that these changes are not con-
fined to this locality, it is throughout the State
| II am not greatly mistaken in the signs, Wafer
loo defeat awaits our Breckinrldge friends in 1860
| SENATOR MASON OF FIRGINIA.-In the Romney
Argus we find short synopsis of the speech of
| Senator Mason before the people of Hampshire
county, Va. from which we Gull the following de-
claraton:
clared that in the event of Lincoln's election, he
Should take his seat as Senator to support and
defend tie C0asttttoEe the rights and Integrity of
| has State-when they could longer be main
tanned, he should render back to her the high trust
reposed in him by Virginia, trusting to her leisdom
and patriotism IN tlat ecigeacyto do the best.
| Col. I. P. March, census taker for Hardeman
county, Tenn, says that in the ten districts of the
county which he canvassed, there are five Douglas
men to one Breckinridge.
S. w. Inge, a distinguished member of Congress
from Alabama some years ago, but now citizen
of California, has written very able letter in sup
port of Douglas and Johnson.
| Hon. JOHN BELL HUNG IN Iey!-Strange and
Incredible as it may appear, it is nevertheless true
| that on last Sabbath morning our citizens were
disgusted and nsulted by the sight of disgraceful
| figure, suspended by the neck from the same line
| upon which hangs banner representing large
sized bell. Upon this figure were two placards,
| upon which were the Inscriptions "John Bell,
| November g. lS60;'' and " Abolition petitions ,,
And this dsgraceful spectacle was paraded in front
/ OF the State House. To say that we felt indignant
at the sight would not express true feelings, or
those of large portion of citizens. In fact we
met with none who did not denounce the perpetra-
tors of this scandalous outrage in unmeasured
| TERMS We sincerely regret that it occurred, not
that we consider Mr. Bell or his friends insuted by
! such a caricature, but are sorry to know that
/ we have those among us who are so reckless and
FeGardless OF tne good name OF our city, ana the
| opinions OF their neighbors and friends. They
| have made great mistake. Instead of injurng
Mr. Bell or insulting his friends, they have grossly
| outraged and nsulted the respectable and ntelli-
gent Of the party ubon which the odum of their
| acts must necessarily reeoil to certain extent
And it affords pleasure to say that all the prom-
nent members of the Democratic party denounce
this disgraceful outrage in of just and honor
able indignation; and we trust that they may be
able to ferret out the perpetrators, and hold them
| responsible for the lasting disgrace they at
tempted to fasten upon the fair fame of the Capitol
City. jackson (Aiiss.) News.
