A fre-eating contemporary at Nashville

.or fear our respected fellow-citizen and
neighbour, Mr.. Leverett Saltonstall, was a
member of the Hartford Conventions; and al
so a member of Congress in 1910. Our con-

spouse to his enquiries, on that subject. pro-
ceeds to ask four or five other. questions of a
similar nature, and ends by solemn warn
ing TO Douglas men "to beware o. the wiies
of that shreWdest of politicians, John Bell. -
Being of a compassionate temper, we are
disposed to relieve our Nashville contempo-
rary from the distress of mind, under which
he labors, by returning negative response
to every one of his questions 1t is true we
cannot speak as an EYEWITNESS. not having
been ourselves member of the Hartford
Conventions; but as that body M. in 1914.

much of the eloquence of Congress, particu-

IF our Nashville disuuionist friend will ex,

critical fre-eater, that our worthy fellow-cit1

SIGNIFICANT FACTs.4-A contemporary per-
tinently remarks that the principal stock in
trade of the democratic party in times past
was to charge abolitionism upon their South
ern opponents, and prove it by citing the fact
that Horace Greedy was acting with them.
No doubt thousands were Influenced by this
argument. 1t has, indeed, been made a
strong point against John Bell that Horace
Greeley on certain occasion said something
complimentary of him. The tables are turned
now. Breckinridge and Lane are not sqnly
receiving aid and comfort from the leading
black republicans and their organs in the
North, but we-haEe- the authority of the

Lincoln bimself personally snpefintended the
making up of a Breckenridge electoral ticket
for that State, aud the admission of q leadiag
republican paper that that party was centri-
buting its money and Influence to holster up
the seceders in the North. Turning to the
South we find every disunionist, secessiOnist
and agitator in the whole country, from Yam
cey down, warmly supporting Breckenridge
and Lane. These are significant facts. The

We had the pleasure Of attending the hell

a. Huntsville, Ala, on the 18th inst. The
meeting was held in beautiful grove near
the city, the day was lovely, the air cool from
the effects Of a heavy rain Sunday night, and
everything seemed peculiarly auspicious
TIE attendance was large, 4 considerable
PORTION of the audience being ladies' The
soaking was opened by Ex-GoV. Ms BROWN

forts, discussing the great questions at issue
and setting forth the claims of the Union

in his speech to offend any opponent. TWAS
addressed to the reason and not to the pas
sions and prejGdices, and was listened to
with the most profound attention. The i'm
psession it made will long be felt
Mai. G.. A. HENRY followed in brilliant
speech of much length, in his usual eloquent
and telling manner, attracting by the charms
of his oratory. and convincing the Judgment
by his strong arguments.
Col. JOSEPH q. PICKETT closed the speaking
in the grove, making oae of his ablest and
auditors 10 the highest pitch of enthusiasm
We have seldom seen him in better vein,
aud his friends may rely upon it, he did him
self :sndgbis cause justice.
After supper there was display OF fire
works and torch-light procession. A num-
bcf transpareeies with appropriate devices
and notices were borne in the procession.
The din of bells and the shouts of the multi
tade made the night an epoch in the way OF
noise These demonstrations drew out an
immense crowd. The night was pleasant,
and the ladies taking advantage OF it, turned
out en- Hasse, and a lOyelier collection OF them
= was never seen any where. The court green
was scene of lOveliness aud gallantry, of
life and animation A number of speakers
addressed the crowd from the steps of the
South trent of the courthouse. Their speech
es were received with unbounded applause.
The .'boys," not content with the demon
stration in the grove and at The conrt house,
kept up their exercises till the .'sna
urs'ho of the night. calling at Col. PICK
ETr's lodgings, and. having aroused him from
his couch, literally forced another speech out
of him. This midnight grafton was splen-
did hurst of impromptu eloquence.
HoRN's Brass Band now appeared i'll the
field, having arrived on the night tr'iu from
Nashville, and we believe streaks OF dawn
began to light the eastern horizon before all
become quiet. go 80
This was one of the largest and most en-
thnsiastic meetings ever held in Huntsville.
1t was one of which the Opposition may just
Iy feel proud. We trust that it is the fore
runner of great political changes in Madison
county. We doubt whether the people of
that county were ever so deeply stirred as
they are now, OF ever reflected more serious
by upon the political condition of the coun-
try. Aud when the people think and feel,
surely there is room to expect good results.

The skies brighten.

The logic of our brilliant New York con-
temporary, The Herald, continues to amuse
Us. We have held up but one idea, namely,
that the Union ticket would be the successful
one, and have constantly impressed upon our
friends, here the Inevitable certainty, that
Bell and Everett would gcarry most of the
Southern States-through the breach in the
Democratic party, through Southern reac-
tion against the disunionists at1home, by its
clear national character aud upon its un-
questionable and superior = merits. The
elections in North Carolina, Kentucky and
Missouri have convinced the Herald that
Breckenridge has D"no chance,u and that the
border slave States, with Tennessee. may be
set down as certain for Bell and Everett,
giving that ticket sixtyor seventy votes and
excluding Mr. Douglas from the number of
Gandlqaaftgfs5 shoYpiq me election SO to the
aThereupon, funnilya enough, the Herald
urges, as it has done repeatedly before, the
withdrawal of all the candidates, ip order to
make way for the nomination of some new
conservative man. 1t is plain enough that
this recommendation is mot the strict logical
deduction from the premises of the Herald, or
from the manifest turn of public sentiment,
or from the evident facts of the case. The
elections which have already indicated the
course of opinion, in the States enumerated,
will undoubtedly be followed by still more
| decisive action ia the same direction. In a
| word, there. is every reason to believe that
| nearly every slave State wifi throw its vote
| for Bell and Everett. AS this becomes more
and more palpable, the influence of such a
1 general disposition Will react with tremend-
/ Gus power upon the North. The mo chance
argument is already effectually disposed of:
4 and with reviying courage will come a pop
ular movement inttfe North, which viii make
/ the only national iiekets now already before
i the people, absolutely irresistible. The effect
/ therefore, of the not unexpected turn whicf,
4 affirs are taking at the South, will be to
make the Union men cling more steadfastiy
to the noble Candidates they have proposed
and now; if never before, TO proceed il their
i honorable course with every assurance OF
i triumphant success.-B Boston Cdurier. .Aug. Oh

IS We are informed chat Senator Toombs de-
mics that he said at Warrentoa last week that
Bell and Douglas were as sound as himself
Possibly the Senator's memory is better than
ours, Especially as we took no notes of his
remarks -bnt really we think he was not in
good condition to recollect what he did say
He seemed somewhat at loss, and not quite
atainiself and bis speech was o series of invo-
luti0ns. and he fioundered considerably We
have no quarrel with him, however, as to
our collection of what he said, and are will
ing to leave the matter with the crowd who
heard. him., The impression was certainly
very vivid on our minds that he, some way or
another conveyed, the idea of Douglas and
Bells soundness, especially the former,
though be thou git their doctrines were dam
gerous. We have learned that twenty-five or
thirty Democrats vino felt very much in
clined TO Douglas, but still had some misgivl
ings. had all their doubts and fears removed
by the speech last Wednesday, and concluded
that .ifgDoeglas were such as Represented by
Mr.. Toombs, be was sgJs enough for them. and
thew therefore determined TO support him
They evidently got the same impression from
his speech that We did.-Algisa Glronisls. /
