POSITION OF Mr.. BELL.
Mo,........,-. ~ Il nn LOO

MONTGOMERY, Ala, July 80, 1860.
10 DANIEL Sayre, Esq, Editor Of the Post:
DEAR SIR 1T is known to many persons in this
section OF the State, that some time since address
ed letter OF inquiry to the Hon. John Bell, par
tlcularly as to his endorsement of the American
and Whig platform of February, 1856. On last
Saturday received his reply, with which, and as
part thereof, he sends extracts from his
speeches and references to his votes touching the
subjects of inquiry, thus announcing the opin-
ions expressed and indicated in those speeches and
votes.
Mr.. Bell thus distinctly announces, in my judg-
ment, the following propositions
L. distinct reputation of Wilmot Provi
soiSm.
2. distinct reputation of "Squatter sover-
eighty" as long ago as l846
). distinct announcement that the territories
are the common property of the States composing
the Union; and that the citizens of each State
have the right to go into such territories with their
property of every description and whilst there, to
protection to property and persons.
4. That slavery, as it exists amongst u.s. civilly,
morally and religiously right; sanctioned by the
Constitution of the United States by the bible, and
by the practice of men in all ages; and that it
ought to be extended.
The record OF Mr.. Bell, running through a Pc
riod of more than quarter of century, gives the
strongest assurance of his fidelity to the institu-
tons of the South the land of his birth; and of his
love of tie Constitution and Union of our fathers.
These opinions of Mr.. Bell, so long entertained
and acted on in public life, afford to of the South
stronger guaranty against wrong than the sud-
den announcements of eleventh hour converts.
| am now on the eve of leaving for Texas pri-
vate business of Importance, and have time to

A "MIRAcULoUs IMAGE" AT RoME.-A letter from
Rome in the Paris ultramontane journal, the Monde,
says: "The Cardinal Vicar has published, by order
of his Holiness, invitation to the clergy and peo-
pie of Rome, TO accompany professionally, to-mer-
row evening, the miraculous image of the Virgin,
which is to be conveyed from the basitica of St.
Mary to the church of Gesu. According to tradi-
tion this image was painted by st. Luke the Evan
gelist. 1t was held in great veneration far back
as the time of st Gregory the Great, who had it
carried to st. Peters when a terrible pestilence
afflicted the city. Pope Paul V. had recourse to
the same means on similar occasion, and he fol-
lowed the image on foot accompanied by the whole
Sacred College, in which there were then three
celebrated Observation-Disclosures, Baronius, and
Toledo. Gregory ~. in 1885 and 1887 only obtain
ed the cessation of the cholera which was commit
ting great ravages, by the same pious exercise.
Now that moral pestilence, more terrible in its
effect than those which have already taken place,
is ravaging Rome and Italy, his Holiness Pope
Plus TX. is following the example of his predeces-
sors." ."-European Times.

PHILADELPHIA AND PAID FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Some of the prominent citizens of Philadelphia
have published a card, requesting the signatures
of the citizens to petition to the City Councils,
for the establishment of Paid Fire Department.
The card says "that among much pecuniary gain,
there will be moral gains of still more Importance.
All our interests will be under the protection of
the law, which will then only in fact be supreme
among US. We shall have orderly streets by day
and by night, on week days and on Sunday
Thousands of our youth will be annually rescued
from the demoralizng influences of fire-running,
with its rivaries and feuds; and we shall be re-
lieved from the vice and crime which, by the ad-
mission of respectable firemen themselves, and the
evidence of our criminal records, are the legiti-
mate fruits OF voluntary Fire Department, and
believed to be inseparable from it :"

saw. at or about the time Of y hiohs you speaA7
any letter from Douglas to any one, out 81 the
fine when the question was before the Con.
yeatiou. as to whether the Constitution Should
be. submitted the people or sent directly to
CONGRESS. Mr.. Calhoun informed mc, together
with Others, that he had authority from Mr..
Douglas to say, that unless the Constitution
was submitted to the people of the Territory
it would have no support in the North, and
had no chance to be adopted.
In answer to your second question, state
above that Calhoun informed me that he re-.
ceived letter from Mr.. Douglas, but he never
spoke Of there being any plan foreshadowcd
in it for submission, only said at the time
refer to above, when the question was sub-
mission or non-submission, that Douglas said
it would hare to 60 to the people and get their
endorsement, before it would have any chance
in Congress. By way of explanation I will
state that | attended the caucus held with
closed doors, at the Office of John Calhoun
three nights, when this momentous question
of plan or firm of submission was canyassed
during those three evenings. / saw no letter
from Mr. Douglas with plan in it, or sugges-
tons OF plan. or, indeed, any letter from
Douglas. This plan, if it had been suggested
by Mr.. Douglas, certainly, coming from so high
an authority, would have been spoken of at
the opening of the meeting, whereas the plan
that was finally adopted by the Convention,
did not present itself, think, till the third
evening. Where it came from know not,
perhaps from the Administration itself; maybe
from the fertile imagination of the ' General"
When that proposition was fairly before the
caucus, leftit, and know nothing more gift
until it came up for final adoption, when
voted against it, and never did endorse it. To
the third question, heard of no plan of sub
mission from Mr. Douglas, except as spoken
of above, to wit, the Constitution to the people.
