our Local Column.

In the month of June last we succetded in
procuring gentleman to take charge Of the
local columns of the PATRIOT, wlIo. all onr
readers will agree, has performed bis duties
with skill and ability which has secured
their admiration In private circles aud
through the; press, he has "won golden opin-
ions from all sorts of people" Possessing a
mind richly endowed BY nature, and album
dantIy stored whit he fruits of judicious and
elegant culture in all the departments Of bu-
man learning. be has given to those columns
over which be pr, sided an attractiveness and
brilliancy rarely equalled- His style is all
that the most exacting critic could desire in
the qualities of grace and beauty, reaching.
at times, TO the very highest eminence OF ex-
celIence As a genuine humOrist, he un-
doubtedly excels all bis contemporaries. in the
uniform purity of his language and the ele-
walton Of bic thoughts. We know of no wri-
Ter Of bis time who can justly be regarded as
his eqzai in this respect. His powers OF sar-
casm aqz ridicule are extraordinary, but his
geniality is such that they are never permit
ted to reach; their full beat, !" though often
seen as thread Of fire woven into the web of
his daily composition His powers Of imagi-
nation are superior, and bis faculty for poe
try is natural. The "rythm of nnnbers" is
spontaneous in his nature. and he writes po-
etry with scarcely less facility than prose.
Such are some of the very rare endOwments
of our local ediior"-though that designa-
ton is rather misnOmer. The universal at
tention which has been attracted to his pro-
auctions, has had the natural effect to arouse
the public curiosity IS to who he Isl aud the
question is daily asked by all who are not
already possessed of the information: "Hho
is the Local Editor of the PATRIoT!" 1t is to
answer this inquiry that we announce that
the Local (and Military Editor Of this paper
is JOIN E. HATCHER gentleman of the high
est personal worth, of great talent and splen-
did requirements. 1t is scarcely necessary
for US to add that this announcement is
wholly without his knowledge; and that he
will be greatly more surprised to see it than
any other one of our thousands Of readers.

n The Columbus zeal Time, alleges

er The Columbus [Ga-l Times alleges
that STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS and JOHN BELL
agree -'upon all questions affecting slavery"
and regards it as inconsistent for Opposition
papers to denounce the one whilst they sup
port the other. The Times is wise beyond
what is written. Mr. BELL and Judge DOUG-
LAS occupy entirely different positions upon
questions affecting slavery. There was an
apparent agreement between them touching
the admission of Kansas under the Lecomp-
ton Constitution. but il was only apparent.
The motives which prompted their course on
that question were of an opposite character.
Judge DOUGLAS sought, by opposition to the
admission, to recover the ground be had lost
in the North by his support of the Missouri
Compromise. and TO force upon the territory
his infamous doctrine of Squatter Sovereign
ty. Mr.. BELL believed that the Constitution
did not meet the appreciation of the people.
but was framed in direct opposition to their
wishes For this reason. mainly, he opposed
the proposition to admit Kansas. He desired
that the people Of Kansas should be permitted
20 form such a constitution as shifted them,
and when they had done this, he stood ready
to admit them into the Union whether they
adopted or rejected slavery as a domestic in
stitntisa- There is not in the South a more
inyeterate opponent of the DOUGLAS heresy
of squatter sovereignty. If the South con-
taias q SENDER statesman, or one upon whom
she can more confidently rely for the mainte-
nance of all her constitutional rights he has
not yet been named 1t is well known that
the PATRIOT did not deem IL expedent or
proper to orpeseihe admission Of Kansas I'M
der the Iecompton Constitution Our views
were fully expressed during the controversy,
and we say to-day thai there Is not one line
Of what we said that we would now have ex-
ence have but served to make as firner in the
opinion that the course we pursued was right,
and We are prepared to maintain our posi-
sion. Nevertheless, it gives US pleasure to
bear testimony to the honesty aud sincerity
Of Mr.. BELL In that crisis, and tSaffirm eur
unquestioning belief in his integrity as .
Southern statesman laboring to mete out
even-hsnded justice 10 all sections. His mo-
nyes were as far above those OF STEPHEN A.
DoUeL.s rs patriotism is above seltshness-
rs virtue above viee-as the pure statesmaa
above the "sclitieal gambler" Let the Times
look to the record before il presnmes again
TO class JosS Bell with STEPHEN A. DogG-
las.

~- We publish this morning from the
Baltimore PGtyid extracts from an article
commenting favOrably upon the proceedings
OF our State Convention, and expressing a
willingness to support JOHN BELL for the
Presidency in certain contingency-that is
If he be nominated by the Chicago and the
Baltimore Conventions. Our Baltimore con-
temporary has some peculiar notions: one OF
which is that the third party movement is a
trick for The benefit of the democracy; an
other, that success is a sufficient watcbw0rd
for the Presidential campaign. We demur
to both The idea that WM. C. RIvEs, JOHN
CRTTENDEN, aud the other distinguished
gentlemen, " BIO - tho hood Of the third
party movement. are engineering for the
benefit of the democracy, is simply absurd.
A political canvass merely to win, il no less
absurd. Let US continue to labor for the
public good, and if defeat comes again, let
IL come. We shall be sufficiently rewarded
in the consciousness of having done our duty
without sacrifice of principle.

Greeley is not yet satisfied with the time
fixed upon for holding the Chicago Coaven-

Greeley thinks the longer a man runs be-

correspondent adds
These letters were presented to the Com

The nomination of JOHN BELL, the states

the invitation TO all .'good men every where"
to help them elect him, merit, and lldoubt-
less receive the consideration of the Opposl-
ton. North, South, East and West.
The Opposition Conventions to meet on

maturely consider whether victory is posi-
biz under the lead of the Tennessean, and if
,hey decide that he shall be the candidate of
the United Opposition, We desire TO be
Counted in amongst the foremost in that
battle, for there is no purer and sounder
statesman in any country than John Bell
Our own opinion, however. is, that Edward
Bates is the man fol the crisis, and we be-
lieve that United Opposition will come to
the same conclusion, but We are not ~tdded
to any maa. 1t is success that we go in for.
and as we have already SAID. and now say
again, if the grand army of the Opposition

the name of John Bell or any other statesman.
as our candidate. We are in for the contest
heart and soul. We regard the course OF the
Nashville Opposition Convention as a long
stride towards union OF the Opposition, the
only possible means by which the Black Dis
union Democrats and the handful oil their
Judas-like allies, who are sill hanging upon
the skirts of our camp, can be routed and
