Under Democratic Administrations Black
Republicans Increase.

During the past eight years, the Democratic
party has had control of every branch OF the
Federal Government, and yet Free-soilisn has
grown and fourished beyond all precedent
The five Free-soi members in the thirty second
Congress have grown to almost a majority OF the
whole number, and control the legislation Of Con-
gress to very great extent. AS was stated by
Hon. Jere Clemens, the other day, that under Mr..
Fillmore, the Freesoil vote fell off 15o, 900; un-
der Gen. Pierce's Administration it ran up L.
341 900! What it is now we will not undertake
to determine. We have no words of apology or
defence for the wild fanatcism of the Republi-
can party. We would regard their success as
one of the greatest evils that could possibly be-
fal the country only exceeded by dis

Gov. Wise for War.

We predicted some time since that if Gov.
Wise made speech in this canvass he would
take the most extreme position-that he would
ont-Yancey Yancey. That prediction has been
verified. He made a speech in Norfolk on Thurs
day evening last in which he took the position
as declaration of war against the Southern
States, and that Virginia and other Southern
States should grasp the sword and proceed at
once to war.
The New York Herald says that "Gov. Wise,
though he may consider Lineolns election a
cause for disunion, is doing more to elect him
than Mr. Seward bimself''

For the Spectator.

Mr. EDITOR will you allow me space in
the Spectator" to express my views IL relation
to proposition made through the papers by
Jacob Baylor, Esq, and endorsed by M. G. Har-
man. ESQ.,, suggesting a fusion between the two
wings Of the Democracy of Virginia Perhaps
the plan proposed is the most equitable one
which could be made; but when we look at the
object avowed by those conference.-the defeat
of Bell and Everett in the State-we are not
prepared to give it countenance. Our greatest
concern should be to defeat the Black Republican
ticket in the United States; and, if in casting
the Electoral vote of the State for the Bell and
Everett ticket that can be accomplished, the
writer will fredericksburg that their election
would guarantee the perpetuation of the Union.

Thaps have done as much Quietly to advance

to declare that next to Stephen A. Douglas,

done and suffered more to defend Southern
rights than Stephen A. Douglas, and as q re-

Mr.. SIDNEY. Oct. l. 1860.

MT. O1DNEY, Oct. l., 1901
Mr. EDITOR Pursuant to notice, the Bell
and Everett club met at its usual place of meet
ing in the town of Mt. Sidney, on Saturday, the
18th inst.
AS no business of Importance was before the
meeting, the Vice President, Mr.. j. c. McCue
at once introduced to the Club Mr.. FL. NJ Bell
of Stanton, who delivered q most powerful and
telling address. This we believe, was Mr.. BIS
'sdebut'' in the political arena and though, from
the orators reputation as forensic speaker, a
fine effort was expected, yet we are happy to
say that his most sanguine admirers were more
than surprised at his happy effort.
This speech of Mr.. Bells was no mere declam.
atory effort, consisting of ''fowers of rhetoric
and pueriity of thought, bit was, as might be
expected, dignifed and statesmanlike effort,
characterized by clearness of .thought, cogency
of reasoning and purity of style that made it
what it was--a forcble and effective effort in
behalf of the principles it so ably advocated.
The issues that divide the different parties
was calmly reviewed; the policy of each thor
oughy considered, and their tendency to the
preservation of the country fairly debated, prov
ing clearly the inability of the Democratic party
to preserve the Union in the present crisis.
He closed his speech with an urgent and pow
erful appeal to the people to Danish party ami
mostly; to trample down party lines end party
differences and to rally, one and all, around the
standard of the Union party, who alone are able
to preserve the Union and the Constitution in
tact as it is. May the party ever have such
champions as Mr.. Bell

a speech made by Mr.. Tim. Rives at Abing-
don Va, on the Goth inst, is highly extolled in
the papers friendly to Douglas-and it is said to
have been one of the ablest as we'll as one of the
most pungent yet delivered during the present
contest. He is represented ''as having proved
by the record that the overthrow of the Union
had always been the object nearest to Yancey's
heart, and that he was the very head and front
of the secession movement; he said that Brock
inridge, as delegate to the Cincinnati Oonven-
ton, had il '56 voted for Douglas-that of the
eight boiling States at Charleston six had voted
for Douglas at misunderstanding Alabama,
South Carolina and Mississippi-that Gov. Floyd
had bolted from the Virginia delegation in the
Baltimore Convention of 80, and voted for
Douglas-that those very men who at Baltimore
had seeded on account of affected disgust at the
admission of new delegations, had themselves
voted for Fernando Woods bogus delegation
and he read extracts from the Richmond En-.
quirer endorsing the doctrines of the Freeport
speech, and others, from same paper pronounc.
