ALL 1t was the par, Of policy and duty alike for them to
accept the nomination of BELL and EyERErr as the oa.,
means left. TO them OF defeating LINCOLN and protecting
the rights Of the south We as,onished, indeed that
the Secedsrs who claim TO De anxious to serve che Sout
in the present emergency should by the idle nomination
Of BREcxNRDoE have prevented the union OF the south

and the only one that stands the remotcs chance OF te
f.ting the Black Republican nominee and crushing ou
the Black republican organization. What the Seceders
hone TO accomplish by thus dividing the South at this
critical uacure t impossible for us 10 conceive. Not
one of them dreams that BEEcNNEpGE can be elected
for there vii not be even an electoral tcke; for him in
any Northern State except perhaps California aud Ore

the electoral vote of single Northern State. Even were

Of the South he would sill be dssracetGy beaten Ba
we do not believe that under existing circumstances be
will be able to carry he electoral vote Of single South

With only BsEogIvElDGs and Bslt, or DoCGLAs and
RTrr in the field the latter gentleman would stand
cseu. chance of CARRYING SIX eSd, Southern State.
