cause Is progressing steadily and surely:
Bell and Everett in Alabama.
A subscriber writing from Wetumpka
Ala, under date of July 18th, Informs US that
many of the old line Union Democrats, who
can not support Breckenridge, are wheeling
int o line for those truly National men-Bell
and Everett. And so will it be, we honestly
believe, with many of the conservatives all
over the country, who will come to see clear
ly that Bell and Everett are the only chance
to defeat Lincoln and save the Union. We
have been inclined to give our sister State
across the Chattahoochee to Breckenridge and
Lane, but the matter is exeeedin gly doubtful
at present. and every day Bell will gain,
while others are losing. The detection of the
Montgomery Nail will not, we think, result
in loss of more than 500 votes. 1t is an en-.
tirely local influence, for the benefit of Mr.
Judge, that is controlling that movement,
and is not at all Serious augusta Chronicle
Prospects of Bell and Everett in Mas
sachusetts.
The Boston Courier, the old organ of DAN
TEL WEBSTER, a staunch and reliable paper,
says:
''The Unionists of Salem are in motion.
They have already held q preliminary meet
ing, and their club promises to be one of the
for the banner, but Salem and Newburyport
are pressing hard upon the heart of the
Commonwealth. ALI over the State, men are
working quietly; and it is now conceded by
Republicans that the Bell and Everett ticket
will poll $4,000 votes. The Union ticket
will go out OF Boston with a plurality; and
if there is union of all national men here
AS there should be-that plurality may be
five thousand"
If the friends of BELL and EVERETT can
poll $4,000 votes in Massachusetts,, they will
take the State from LINCOLN. Mr.. EVERETT
is very popular In Massachusetts,. Hun
dreds of its most enterprising and popular
men have received their education under his
auspices as President of Harvard College,
and they will support him with enthusiasm.
His lectures on WASHINGTON in aid of the
Mt. Vernon enterprise, in all the large viii
lagos and towns, have gained him personal
acquaintance in the Commonwealth which
will tell at this election.
Bell and Everett in Pennsylvania.
The friends of BELL and EVERETT are
working with will in Pennsylvania. The
Philadelphia Evening Journal says:
"The Grand Council of the United Sons
of America has Endorsed the nomination of
Bell and Everett. This is a movement of
vast Importance. The order controls over
sixty thousand votes in the State. These
votes, at the last State election, moved in
solid phalanx with the Peoples party The
action of the Grand Council withdraws that
vote from the Peoples, or Republican party,
and throws it into a hopeless minority. Bell
or he bai for IL
out the State, and the most encouraging in
dications are presented of the success there
of the Union ticket"
The Pittsburg Press speaks OF the large
increase of the Allegheny BELL and EVER
EFT Club; and the Harrisburg Patriot and
Union says: BELL and EVERETT clubs are
forming all over the State, in quiet, IN os
tentatiOus, but very decided manner. 1t is
becoming very evident that BELL and EVER
EFT will poll quite as large vote as FILL
MORE did in 1856"
At Reading the friends of BELL and EVER
EFT held large meeting last Saturday, and
organized club of sminute men" for the
present campaign. A committee of thirteen
was appointed to draft a constitution and by
laws. The Gazate of that place says the BELL
and EVERETT men have renowned all afilia-
tions, and will maintain an Independent Or
ganization.
The Philadelphia journal of H'harsu"y -
Yesterday morning the mammoth flag
belonging TO the Minute Men of SO was
strung across Tenth and Chestnut streets,
from the headquarters of the Constitutional
Union Association. A large and beautiful
transparency, occupying the whole of the
Chestnut street front of the secoud story.
was also raised. 1t contains life-sized por-
traits of Messrs. Bell and Everett. The like
nesses are excellent. Over the portraits are
the words: The Constitution, the Union and
the Enforcement of the Laws On scroll
held by the American eagle the word Con
stitution' is inscribed; and just below the
pictures are the memorable words of Daniel
Webster Liberty and Union, now and for
ever, one and inseparable.' When lighted
up last evening, the transparency presented
magnificent appearance, and attracted
great attention from passers-by."
