BELL AND EVERETT IN FLoRIDA.-A Union man, "
writing from Tallahasse, Florida, to the New York
Times, says
A Constitutional Union party was organized yes
terday in this place. and the delegates appointed 10
the State Convention, to be held in Quincy on the
9th inst. The movement seems to be popular, and
the peoplen this State are rapidly arriving at the
conclusion that the Democratic party powerless
to save the Union. The whole State is moving, and
we shall have our candidates out soon for Governor
and Congress. The Democratic nomination for
Governor John Milton) is exceedingly weak, and
we have very cheering prospects of carrying the
State for Bell and Everett

Hon. Horace Maynard.

/ We learn from the Knoxville Wing that on Sat
urday, the 9th inst, this gentleman addressed q
very large auGiei ce in that city, upon the subject
Of National politics and the Presidential question:
The whig says:
He occupied the stand an hour and half, and
employed his first half hour in giving his constitu-
ents account Of his political stewardship, being
brief history of the legislation Of the late Con-
gress. 80.
lie then reviewed the doings of the four Conven.
tons putting forth the four tickets now before the
country, taking them in the order in which they
were held and their nominations were made lie
told the Democracy well of their boasted pretcn-
sions that they alone could save the country and
perpetuate the Union. lie showed that the Demo-
cratic party was in the last agones of dissolution
divided, distracted, and dsbanded, without the
power to save itself 1t had managed in three
years, under Buchanan, to borrow 81, ,O00, 900 oi
dollars, in addition to using the current revenue OF
the Government. Wrest the spoils from its grasp,
said the speaker, and its Northern wing would 20
over TO Republieanism. Talk about the saving pre-
perties and nationalityof such party No candid
ard intelligent man believed there was even q re-
mote chance to elect Douglas or Breckinridge.-
Here he gave the electoral votes Of the Union, and
demonstrated his position.
While he regarded the chances Of Lincoln as de-
cidedly good for election and would dsplore such
an event. he maintained that if the Democrats and
Conservative men, North and South, would rally
to the Bell and Everett ticket as they ought to do
the Constitutional Union ticket would be successful
He showed that their men were statesmen, worthy
of elevation-that theirs is truly national ticket
and that they were nominated by one Of the most
talented, patriotic, and harmonious Conventions OF
men that ever convened in America for any similar
purpose.
This speech was well received and the speaker
was repeatedly interrupted with rounds of applause
We never observed better order or more marked at
tenton to policical address. Indeed there is sy-
erywhere disposition to hear with patience and
marked attention, a political address from either
side. The people want light, because they are hon.
est and want to do for the best.

THE SUNSHINE.
BY MARY HowIrT.

love the sunshine every where,
In wood, and field, and glen;
love II in the busy haunts
Of ftown-imprisoned men.
love IL, when It streameth in
The humble cottage door,
And casts the chequered easement shade,
Upon the red-brick Aoor.
love il, where children lie
Deep in the clovery grass,
To watch among the twining roots
The gold-green beetle pass.
love Il, on the breezy sea,
To glance on sail and oar,
While the great waves like molten glass,
Come leaping to the shore.
l love It, on the mountain tops
Where lies the thawless snow
And half kingdom, bathed In light
Lies stretching out below.
And when it shines in forest glades,
Hidden, and green, and cool,
Thro' mossy boughs, and veined leaves
How it is beautifnli'
How beautiful, on little streams,
When sun and shade at play,
Makes silvery meshes while the brook
Goes singing on its way
How beautiful, where dragon-fies
Are wondrous 10 behold,
With rainbow wings Of gauzy pearl,
And bodies blue and goldl
How beautiful, on harvest slopes,
To see the sunshine lie;
Or on the psler reaped fields
Where yellow stocks stand high!
Or, yes, / love the sunshine
Like kindness, or like mirth,
Upon a human countenance
Is sunshine ON the earth,
Upon the earth, upon the sea,
And through the crystal air
Or piled up clouds, the gracious sun
Isglorious everywhere.

Towards the close of it, after complimenting the
Northern Democracy, he said
There is another element at the North, not large,

Choate, and their associates, whose conservatism,
r.beiled against tie republican alliance.

BLOOMINGTON, June rs, 1860.
To James W. Sheahdn:
The Republicans af this city are firing 100 guns
for Breckenridge The object is to produce a false
impression abroad H. p. MERRlMAN.
From well informed private source we learn
that this game has been systematically pursued in
the North. All the powder burnt there pretendly
in honor of Breckinridge, has been burnt at the
expense of the Black Republicans. The object is
manifest. They want to produce the impression
that Breckenridge has friends in the Norlh-thereby
induce the South to vote for him. instead of Bell
and Everett the only ticket they fear. They know
that if the people of the South unite on Bell and
Everett they will be elected-while if they can be
trcked into voting for Breckenridge they feel sure
of the election of Lincoln This is the how and
why of the Breckenridge demonstrations in the
North. The scheme is worthy Of Yankee ngenui-
ty, but it won't succeed.-Richmond Wing.

The Louisiana Bell and Everett
State Convention 80 Louisiana
in a Blaze.

The Fourth Of July was great day for the cause
Of the Union and the Constitution in Louisiana and
in its effects will tell or we greatly mistake, upon
the destinies Of both. To say that the Louisiana
Bell aud Everett State Convention which assembled
in the Capitol at Baten Rouge, for the purpose Of
choosing an electoral ticket and thoroughly organ
zing for the Presidential canvass was a brilliant
success, is altogether too tame todo IL simple Justice
and does not give any adequate idea Of the ire
pressbe ardor the noble concession in regard to in
dividual preferences the unity, character, order
confidence, patriotic excitement, and immense en-
thusiasm that peculiarly distinguished the Conven-
tion above any State Convention that has been held
in Louisiana for any purpose for years. II was al
most impossible to keep down the patriotic feelings
of devotion to the to allow the details of busi-
ness TO 60 on. We never witnessed anything like
il. Every member of the Convention, il seemed
evident came with high hope and great confidence,
yet there is not one of them all, will venture to
say, who will not admit, and who did mot feel that
the reality far surpassed his expectations. A finer
appearing body Of men has rarely assembled in any
State for any purpose, while the magnitude of the
Convention the circumstances considered, was ex-
traordnary. There was no central, executive State
or Parish committee in existence and therefore no
directing head nobody to take the lead, and see
that the preliminary steps for representation in the
Convention should be taken. Everything was left
to chance, to mere voluntary, isolated impulse and
yet under all these drawbacks every Electoral Dis
trict in the State was represented and ably repre-
sented. According to late law the State was laid
into six Electoral Districts there being no delegates
at large. The only call for the Convention that
made was put forth at the great meeting held in
this city few weeks ago, and from such begin
ming, by the spontaneous movements of the people,
all the Districts represented in Of the lar
ges and most brilliant State Conventions ever held
in Louisiana.
On the assembling of the delegates at the Capitol
at an carly hour Of the mo. ming, the members from
the respective Electoral Districts repaired to the
committee rooms, and there held informal meetings
for the interchange of views, and to agree upon
the of persons suitable to be presented to the
Convention its officers and for State Electors and
aernates. Individual preferences of course exist
ed, but not ripple disturbed the harmony that
prevailed These preliminary proceedings occupied
the delegates till IL o'clock, when they to
