Now what is the difference between Bell, Douglas, and
Lincoln? All of them agree setting defiance the decis

they proclaim the dangerous aud Infamous doctrine
that CONGRESS- and Congress- then the citizen ALSO will
not be bound by the decision of the highest tribunal known
to the Constitution to interpret the laws of the country

the Government cannot understand the force OF the

No wonder, then, the Abotionists loud in their
praises OF Mr. Bell During long and eVenttu history he
had forsaken them. HI had given himself wholly up
to their faVore policy. He had voted to receive, print

Compromise, and spoke favor of the Wmot PrOVsO he
was willing to vote admit free states and had voted

the Compromise measures and voted against the Kansas

Horace Greeley of the New York Tribune was also loud
in his praise of Mr.. Bell Hear him:
Most certainly we should prefer an original Republican

And in confirmation Of all this the Times proceeded

So Intense the love of the Abolitonsts for Mr. Bell
that we see them with Horace Greeley at their head,
derng him the compliment of public dinner.
We submit the questions to the heart and conscience Of
every Southern man Is this man, whose life and
have been opposed Southern interests and Southern
rights as to receive the audits and approval of such Abo
ition leaders Seward Burngame Greeley, Raymond
Co.. safe for the Presidential chair Would you be
willing to trust your rights and interests in his keeping for

hearted Souherner give his to one who
been so regardless of Southern rights If it bad not been
that who had justified Know Nohingism should be
nominated at Chicago John Bell would have been to-day
