THE MILK In THE COCOA.NUT.

Every day ortwo, The Telegraph brings us glow
ing account of a" Union Convention in this or that
Free State, at which Bell-and Everett Electors
or State candidates, are nominated, or in some
Congressional District where I" Union" candidate
for Congress is put forward. Thus, Maine, Con-
necticut and Indiana have been provided with
Bell Electors, or with the meat of presenting such
at short notice, though nobody on earth believes
that Bell can possibly get q iortieth part of the
vote of either of these States, and though nobody
magnes that the Electors so nominated will be voted
for by even the handful engaged in bringing them
forward. Thus, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, &c,
have been supplied with Bell candidates for Con-
gress, who will be elected (f every after several
droyes of camels have walked, three abreast.
through the eyes of whole pack of the finest
cambria needles. The object and the impetus of
these nominations may be learned from the follow.

The Hon. Randall Hunt, ons of the most gallant
spirits of the South, Wing in old times. and now
a supporter Of Bel and Everett, made speech at
Philadelphia on Wednesday evening. He adve-
Gated the cause of those candidates with ability;
but in the reports Of his address not word Is
found to encourage the new patent way Of support
ing them by voting now for Douglas and now for
Breckenridge. 1t is evident that there are some
things which are better understood in New-Yosk
than in Louisiana.

at least would not stoop TO this. We are disap-
pointed. efa7 $3.50
Bat this Is not oil. It is notorious that this
intrigue is not OF recent origin. 1t was planned
before the Union Convention at Baltimore. The
key to il is found in Mr. Washington Hunts re'o
luton adopted previous to the Convention, that tue
Union party In New York would vote for the Balti'
more nominees or not, as it might think best. The
fret choice of the New-York delegates al that
Convention was Gen. Houston; their second was
Mr.. Everett. They were beaten on the first but
Mr. Everett was nominated for Vice-Presldent.
II will bs remembered that Mr.. Everett was
fortnight in making up his mind to accept this
commitment He had right to expect the nomh-
alton for President, even though bis modesty had
led him TO decline it beforehand aud there was no
good reason why he should take an Inferior place
on the ticket Aud here comes the essence Oh the
intrigue. Mr.. Ererth nas induced to aeeepf me
nomination for the Viee Presidency By the assurance
that the election should be carried into the Senate, and
l., b, made President instead Of Mr. Bel Batfor this
promise he would have refused the nomination.
Thus he is running with the well-matured design
of beating the man who holds the first place on the
same ticket with him; and in behalf of this reck-
less and desperate scheme the managers OF his
party are now busy buying and selling votes on all
sides. Mr.. Bell is to be showed aside by his own
pretended supporters, and Mr. Everett, by sub
terraneous and commercial means, is to be ele-
waited in his place.
We make these allegations not because we have
had any confidential communication OF the scheme
but because it has now finally been fully betrayed
by its authors. We commend it to the attention Of
the real friends of Mr. Bell in all parts of the coon-
Try. They are the victims Of one of the grsndeSt
devices of political cheating that was ever set on
foot

After scjourn Of forty-niDe days, the big steam
ship left us yesterday to return to England. She
came here the recipient Of popular ovation; she
departed almost unnoticed. This revulsion in pub.

her mansgers, and the stupendous blunder Of the
Cape May excursion. She takes with her from

The Hon. Washington Hunt is to deliver that
same old speech once more this evening to as
many of the people of Jersey City as desire to
enjoy the pleasure of hearing it. They say that it
now much improved in comparison with its earlier
repetihons. 1t distinguished author. having become
excited with mingled anger and desperation, is
able at present. to impart to it such an energy
and such flavor that it requires sharp attention
to perceive that it is only the same old speech after
all. Go and hear him prove that the true way to
support Bell and Everett is to vote for Douglas
and Johnson-No, in jersey it is for Breckenridge
aud Lane. This, however will only require
little more agility the part of this great polica!
rope dancer. Go and admire him.
