1--WE could even support M BELL for the Presiden-
Let it be renIembered that theNSew York 7fibens,
silring the present year, said
sThe Nashville Banner proposes 'she Hon John
Bell, of Tennessee, the Opposition candidate for
the Presidency, and hOists his flag bits editorial
head.
So far as we are personally concerned zoe hare not
one cord TO say IN opposition to NJ Bel ana Z he
could be elected President IN 1867 should be entirely
content OF the whole body of Southern /
Wings IN the Senate at the time Of the passage of
the Kansas Nebraska BILL he alone had Judgment |
pluck, good sense and principle enough to oppose it
he spoke against and he Uoted against L.
No man of our time exhibits more unspotted po-
litical career"
Let it be remembered that the National Era the
Abolition organ, until recently published at Wash
ngtOn, now defunct said during the past year. that
Mr.. BELL was "hO6no5btrg with the Republicans and
semi-Republicans of Pennsylvania and New York"
Let it be remembered that the N. Y. Epsninq Post
edited by W. c. BRYANT, one of the Black Republ-
can Electoral candidates for the State at large on
the 18th of June last said
Jeremiah Clemens, once Senator from Alabama,
has written letter assigning his reasons for sup
porting Bell instead Of Breckenridge BE thinks
Breckinridge is as good bad sbOlitionist,
and that Bell is the only candidate to be trusted by
the South. Il Is that BTeckuidge is iShy about
negroes though zee are not surprised to learn that Bel
Is all oar fancy painted him. In other way could
we account for the kind of support his ticket is
threatened with in this State. Z gerry naughty
OF him, heloeUer tr such sentiments and such friends
to to Nelo York, as he did once and lie around
for geek or more laying pipe for nomination as

/ Let it be remembered that the Nashville Banner
the leng recognized organ of Mr.. BELL has declared
within the present year that the Democratic party
is 'tas only party Of any Influence ,uhoss policy ON
effect DE OuTaro,og the Union"
Let it be remembered that JoHN BELL just after
the Virginia election in the spring of 1859 on the
cars above Knoxville in a conversation about the
suit in Virginia and about politics said: he had
SEWARD and told him that he SEWARD would not
be nominated for the Presdency-that some man
North or South more conservative than he would
berun by Tie Opposition to Democracy. Gen BRAzEI-
TON then asked Mr.. BELL who he thought would be
nominated by the Opposition. He replied that he
could form no opinion-that various men were
spoken of-hiBlss!f among others.
Let it be remembered that LEWIS D. CAMPBELL, the
leading BELL man in Ohio, in his speech at the BELL
State Convention held at Chillicothe, commended
BELL andlEyERETT and intmated that in the case of
Mr. Bells election to the Presidency, captured fugitive
sEapes might haze The right Of trial by jury Mr. Bel
having at some time limited that he in aUor of ae-
cording such right"
Let it be remembered that LEWIS d. CAMPBELL
said after the passage of the Fugitive Slave Law:
"As to the fugitive law, l condemn and denounce
il on all occasions. am against its iniqutOus and
unjust provisions and all men who sustain it! 1t is

dictate to others, but, for myself, l say | WILL
UTTERLY DISREGARD ITS OBLIGATIONS, and

stdlSe books This is the position took in the few
speeches made before the election and in maintain
ing it hereafter shall not stop to inquire what eff
feet my will have upon my success as poll
tician. Political success has no charms for me,
when purchased, at the sacrifice of justice and
right"
Let it be remembered that Ex-Gov. BEBB, ChO Is
noe in Illinois making speeches for Lincoln, said in a
BE11EvERETT speech, that he recently made to the
BELL club of Knoxville, "Lincolu, if elected ,could
select his officers IN the Sotth from the Bel party

the chairman of the BELL-EyERETT committee of
Massachusetts, and who answers Mr.. EvERETT's let
tiers for him said in recent speech in Boston:
Il suppose we are all adverse to the institution Of
slavery; but we do not wish to interfere with the
government of the slave States. When the Sage Of
Quincy John Quincy Adams.) was fighting for The
right Of petition Of aRtiSlaUery men, John Bell on
his side You find him standing firmly against the
repeal of the Missouri Compromise; and for these
things the South calls him an anti-slavery man.
, Let it be remembered that at the same meeting
Mr.. HIIIARD the great gun Of the BELL EvBRETTs in
Massachusetts, said:
ION the other hand how has it been with Mr.. Belli
lie has been all his life In opposition to The dominant pub
lie sentiment OF the South, He is protectoniEt the
South is for free trade He was in favor of the
United States Bank; the South not He oppos-
ed the South Carolina doctrine of notification He
protested against the removal of the deposites OF
all the Tennessee delegation he alone farored the rocep-
ton Of petitions for the abolition Of Saveay in the dis
ict Of Columbia. He opposed the annexation Of Ieras.
He protested against the repeal Of the Missouri COnpro-
mise and resisted the LecomptOn Constitution THERE
! Is NO MAN AT THE SOUTH WHO MORE DESERVES To BE
CALLED A SOUTHERN MAN WITH NORTHERN PRINCIPLES
THAN JOHN BELL"
