recent speech in Norfolk removed the scales from
my eyes" and l beheld him, who considered the
friend of the South re-actng the part of Van Buren,
in 1913, assisting the Wings and Know-Nothings to
defeat the Democrats in Virginia holding that the
South may rightfaly be excluded from the public
lands and that she shall be compelled by force to
submit; and denouncing Southern men whose only
crime is their zeal In behalf of Southern rights and
honor Such sentiments merit the seyerest rebuke
from every being who loves the South.

A Tennessean AbrOad-k Knoxville Bell
Everett i'm IIIinOIs.-Ex. GOV. Bebb.

We learn from the Springfield (nl.) State Register
of the 10th that one of the East Tennessee BELL
EVERETT orators has recently been to Springfield,
where LINCOLN lives, and there made LINCOLN
speech in a Black Republican wigwam Hear
what the State Register says:
On Tuesday night the Hon. VIM. Bebb, late Of
Ohio more lately of Rockford Illinois, and noo Of
Tennessee, made speech at the aoglod1a IN tbs city
urging everybody TO UOte for Lincoln This was to be
expected. Mr.. Bebb, when governor OF ONO, was
noted for his intense abolitionism. When Governor
of that State he used and abused his Office to insult
every man who had voted men or money TO prose
cute the war with Mexico which he declared IN
letter dated january 10th, lS4s to be God DEFY
ing and man, woman and child Staying war" He
opposed the nomination Of Clay or any national
Wing in 1913, and insisted upon abOlitonizlng the
Wing party by nominating only such candidates as
had sealed their love of freedom by Withholding
men and money from the war. His last message to
the legislature urged the unqualified repeal OF all
laws which made any distinction between the
whites and blacks. OF course, Mr. Bebb is for Lin
com, OF course he made speech for Lincoln, for
lac and Lincoln always did and do now agree cor
daily on the negro question.

A Bell Man on Lincoln.

We clipped from an exchange and published in
our Sundays paper certain remarks said to have
been made by Hon. J. MORRIsoN HARRIS at Brunswick
n J. about LNCoLNIsM The Patriot thinks Mr. HARRIS
never used the remarks attributed to him. 1t says
will the UNION AND AMERICAN maintain that he did,
and furnish us.the proof" We published just what
we have seen in several of our exchanges. We know
nothing further than what we have published. We
shall believe that the remarks attributed to Mr.
HARRIS are correct until the Patriot can furnish us
some proof that mistaken; then we shall take
pleasure in correcting the report through our col
umns. Our impression is that we first saw the re-
marks published by us, attributed to Mr.. HARRIS in
the Baltimore Patriot by CORRESPONDENT from Bruins
wick or by clipping from Brunswick paper.

Mr.. EDToR:-I have had several propositions in

North Carolina.
500 That he viii not get the Electoral vote of
Virginia.
500 That he will not get the Electoral vote of
Tennessee.
500 That he will not get the Electoral vote Of
Kentucky.
slOe That he will not get the Electoral vote Of
Louisiana.
SlOO That Breckenridge will get more votes in
Alabama. than Bell and Douglas combined

The BrittOn Proposition.

We publish to-day, the letter of another BREcKIN-
RIDGE Elector, asserting to the proposition of Mr.
BRITTON. The DOUGLAS leaders are totally unwilling
that the DOUGLAS men of the State should consent to
such an arrangement. The language of the Qorid
Nunc, the DOUGLAS organ published at Grand June
tion in this State to express the feelings OF
all the leaders. The Quid Nlmc says: We shall
never countenance any recognition of Mr.. BRECKIN-
RIDGE in this race-prgerring Mr. Bel after Douglas
A THOUSAND TINES IN PREFERENCE To EITHER LINCOLN
OR BRECKENRIDGE" That may be the feeling of the
leaders, but we doubt very much whether the peo-
pie will follow them. The Democracy have suffered
under the lash of JOHN BELL too long to be willing
after such short respite, to hand the State over to
him again.

The WIDE AWAKE ORGANIzATTON.-It has been
denied that the ''Wide Awakes" were military or
ganizaton. If this be the case what the fol-
lowing significant passage from Mr.. Stewards recent
speech at La Crosse, Wis:
"He expressed his qualification at the strength of
this Wide Awake organization, and said it was pos
sible their services might not with the election
They had beard for two months of the last session of
Congress an incessant boastng to what the South
would do in case of Republican triumph in the
Presidential election That contingency was now a
certainty; and although he did not apprehend there
would be any effort made to carry these threats
yet if any effort should be made this Wide Awake
organization would be found mighty convenient in
sitting and crushing out any attempt to overthrow
the government"
If this be not threat to use this body to inaugu
vate the "irrepresslble conflict" we do not know
what it means.

It is poor rule, indeed that does not work both
ways. To use a hOmely but expressive adage,
what is sauce for the goose for the gander
Let us see who the principal supporters of Bell
and Everett and let dispassionately examine the
views which they respectively entertain. First let
US take up the Richmond Whig the leading organ
of the Bell forces IN the State of Virginia Speak
ing of the probable election of Lincoln to the Pres
dency, it gives the following timely advice to the
Southern friends of its party:
Seriously, few even at the South, think that Lin
coin, if elected, would attempt the immediate en-
forcement of his disOrganizlng doctrines. We may
de him the justice to believe that he not ferocious
enough to carry out his own principles. But it is
not reasonable to be supposed, that he would strenu
ousy oppose that agitation which he evidently thinks
must and should be continued until slavery shall be-
come eXtinct-or that he would turn his back upon
his friends and side with the Sonth In the progress
of this agitation, however other massacres may be
committed or attempted, even bloo1Ier than that of
Harper's Ferry. The vengeance of an excited null
titude may fall again, it has fallen before, on
those suspected Of meditating such deeds, of in
citing Others black white, to rebellion and insur

and force biA may be demanded, and Lincolns mil
lion and half may volunteer, under the blended
eolors Of the Red and the Black rose-TcucTO daee

said these extravagant suggestions. Can any
man, at least any Southern man, say they more
improbable than was the massacre of October, or
could now excite more amazement: Nay do not

A SAD SCENE-PESHENTIARY CoNvICTs-The West
Penitentiaryis now receiving large aecessions
from the surrounding counties. On Saturday no
less than eight eonvicts, from Armstrong county
took lodgings within its walls. We did not ascer-
tain their names, but Ue belonged to the same fam
ily-father, mother, two daughters and son-in-law
Their offence was larceny, and it is said that the
sonin-law enticed the girls to STEAL while the old
man and his wife were convicted as receivers of
the stolen goods. One of the daughters Is single,
while the other is the wife of the individual who is
blamed for all their trouble. Another of the daugl
tiers had been arrested but being placed in an in
secure cell in the Jail at Kittannng, she made her
escape The separation of the parties apon being
assigned separate cells in the penitentary, is de-
scribed as most affecting and distressing scene.

The MaSSuchusetts Beu-EVerett Cnndi-
date for Governor

-
The Boston Bee speaking of the comparative merits
of the Black Republican and Bel-Everett candidates
for Governor in Massachusetts, says:
"Andrews BLACK Republican, is not one iota mora
radical in his anti-slavery sentiments than Amos A
Lawrence the nominee of the Bell-Everetts. The
latter has contributed more money and RITES for free
dom in Kansas than any other Massachusetts man,
yet nobody seems alarmed about his radicalism not
even George Lunt. This attempt to connect MI.
Andrews with the Garrisonian school OF politics Is
all nonsense and is perfectly well understood in this
locality.
Do YOU hear that Southern men? The Believer
EFT candidate for Governor in Massachusetts, ''has
contributed more money and rifles JorfreedOn in Kansas
THAN ANY OTHER MASSACHUSETTS MANI;
But what of that? Did not Mr.. EVERETT also con-
tribute his money for freedom in Kansas, or rather
did he not contribute his money to purchase COM
plmentary memorial to Mr.. SUMNER for that speech
about which BROOKS whipped him so severely and
Gin the main line Of argument ofwhich Mr.. EVERETT
fully concurred; and was not the money, thus con-
tributed, appropriated to tne cause Of freedom in
Kansas" that is TO furnishing JOIN Brown with rifles
and ball and other means of carrying on his murder
Gus warfare upon the DoYLEs and other Southern
men who were unwilling to receive the negro upen
terms of equality? Did not Mr.. BELL, in his speech
in the Senate on the % of July, 1885, palliate the
enormity Of the crimes which had been committed
by the Free State rebels, who had been sent there
BY means Of Massachusetts, EHgad Aid Societies to
revoutionlze that Territory and prevent its peace
full and harmonious action? Did not Mr.. BELL, in
that speech say:
Had been conscienciously opposed to slavery,
and had settled in Kansas with view to better my
condition, and had witnessed the outrages said to
have been committed by the citizens of Missouri on
the rights of the free State inhabitants, and had
felt ma neck CALLED by the yooe Of osoTped Govern
aei and had lost all hope Of relief from any quarter
If resistance to such oppression be treason, 50
HELP NE GOD, l WOULD HAVE BEEN a
TRAITOR
Then if the head and tail Of the ticket have thus
acted and spoken the party cannot offer the slightest
objection to their Massachusetts, candidate for Gov
crnor So far as we are informed, they have offered
no objection to him but the contrary pronounce
him "a marvellous proper man."
