Selma (Ala-) Sentinel (DOugas.)
"Oar friends would dissolve the Union, because Lin

"They would dissolve it because we cannot get an
equal share in the territories. Would dissolution bring
back the territory!
But our slaves escape to the North.
"WeI we have fugitive slave law, United States
courts, commissioners, and marshals.

"But they do enforce in some, in D'dTS cases.
"But they ought to enforce it in all cases.
$50 they ought, but what then!
"Why, dissolve the Union.
dissolve the Union, and you dissolve the fugitive
slave law. Do this and you convert every State into

the situation of Delaware and Maryland. What to pre-
vent their slaves ftom going TO Pennsylvania and New

T,. propIe,s Attention.

In his speech at Huntsville, Alabama, week before last
Senator Wiga Of Texas ardent supporter OF Brock
inridye, made the following startling declaration
~ could see hs Union rent into thousand fragments
before could vots for John Bell"
Referring to this Senatorial declaration the Huntsville
Hpsnasnt saws that as startling this declaration
vas. there were men in Huntsville that appauded it
When the Senator made the statement we thought the
Breekinridge men would let it pass in slence-but no,
they applauded, and thereby endorsed it.
Does not this and similar declarations. plainly indicate
the otjee, Of the leaders Of the Breckenridge faction p
And will the people suffer themselves to be led out Of this
Union by such men We hope not.
If the Breckenridge leaders desire the defeat Of Lin
coin they ought to vote for John Bell as he is the only
man nov before the people who stands the least chance
to defeat the abotonists Let the people-the honest
Uuonoving patriotic people, who de'iFe the defeat Of
Lincoln, come to the support Of the only man who can
defeat him.

They prefer the Election of Lincoln.

The Breckenridge men Of Virginia have an unpeas-
ant habit of losing their temper when told that the main
obst of the Breckenridge party to secure the election
Of Lincoln. We believe that that dwelling old COM
mound of imbecty and rascality at Washington j. b.,
suppors Breckenridge because he hates Douglas the
mos. But Breckenridge owes all his strength in tie
oon States 10 the fact that his running greatly enhan-
ss the chances Of Lncon's election, and that Lncolns
election is desired by these traitors for an excuse for
dissolution Of the Union The only great result which
can possby accrue from the candidacy Of Mr. Breckn-
ridge ia the election OF LncOln We suppose that none
Of the ecessonsts are so blinded by prejudice pre-
fsrepee As 70 believe that Mr.. Breckenridge get
single northern electoral vote. Then why they run
ming electoral tickets in those States where there is not
prospect Of his getting respectable minority even
They mus, know that every vote Breckenridge receives
in those States will be takeE from Bell aud douglas, and
thus contribute indirectly to the success of lincoln
But one answer be given. The BrsekiHridge par
ii, ,rssey Lincoln 10 Bell or Douglas.
Do not the intelligent people of Virginia perceive the
game which the Breckenridge leaders are playing, for
the purpose Of forcing upon the country Black Repub-
Tssn President and afterwards precpitatng dissolu-
ton Of the Union Let the people of the Old Domn-
ion defeat this vile and mschieyOus game by ranying

PROGRESS OF THE CAUSE IN OTHER STATES.

always been for the Wing party through storm aud

shall lose my vote shall not be entitled TO one here
voted last year for gallant Goggin in $50 voted for
Fillmore and il could be permitted to vote anywhere
on the 9Th Of November 1850 that should certainly
be cast for John Bell and Edward Everett the only
didates now before the people, worthy Of their support
And, sir some may be disposed to overpant the pros
poets of their particular candidate but always view
things as see them with an impartial eye, drawing my
conclusions from the best evidences can procure. And
cir having passed through good portion Of this State,
and part OF North Alabama on my way here, having
had some opport unity Of hearing and judging of the
prospects of the various candidates from different sources
the following my conclusions. As to this city pre-
sumo il is admitted all sides, that Douglas will carry
the city, and it is also equally true that all admit that
Bell and Everett WA .hs ctato (TenDass9eh SO
that YOU may put down Tennessee certain for Bell and
Everett You may also count Alabama for Bell as there
is strong Douglas party in North Alabama, sufficient TO
give US the State You may claim Mississippi for Bell,
and Kentucky also Missouri will likely go for Douglas
Breckenridge stands no chance there. Arkansas is
doubtful Old Virginia is expected, even by the Demo-

Cheering (!

The Editor of the Greenbrer Era, in the last issue
gives sketch of his travels through Pocahontos aud
Highland. We are glad to sec from his account thai
those two counties are prOspering and waking up tC
the importance of supporting Bell and Everett 1t
thought Bell and Everett will get plurality over Brock
ilridge and Douglas, in POcahontas. The Wings are
wide awake and in Huntersville, have raised lofty
pole with Union flag upon it. In Highland, the Dem
Ocras have fought so bitterly to disgust great many
heretofore voting the Democratic ticket. The conse
quence is numbers will either vote for Bell and Everett
or stay at home on the day Of election Bell and Ever
ett it is thought will carry the county both the
other tickets combined

Disunion In An Economical Point of View
We have frequently Of late called attention to the fact

would DO well TO consider before they rush headOng in

sublimated ehyary Of the eztreue South-the rarfed
and doublerefued sensityeness to aggression upon
