OF whom they nevertheless, speak in terms of just
praise.

The character OF the Bell and Everett ratifca-

As n proper representative Of the conservative
element OF the country, no better man could have
been selected than John Bell, Of Tennessee.
His entire record shows that he has never yet sac.
rhced his principles to the party which clnimcd
him "A supporter. The entire object Of his lite
has been to know and sustain the right
OF Edward Everett it is scarcely necessary to say
that his name is as familiar IA household word
throughout the length and breadth of the country.
A scholar OF The first attainments, and patriot
whose eurncstness in any measure conductive Ia
the welfare ol the people cannot be doubted he j.
well fitted to stand beside Mr.. Bell as n candidate
for the high position for which he has been nam
ed.
Taken all in all, the ticket of the Union Conven-
tion combines more real solid worth more of the
true craftsmanship, than can be manuiaced from
ali the material that will be produced before the
coming Conventions to be held at Chicago ur Bal

No reason exists W nv the Bell and Everett ticket
should not be adopted by the Same conservative
section of the Black Republicans. All parties
recognize their respectibilty, statesmanship aud
trustworthiness In the present condition Of pub
lie sentiment both North and South with con.
serva,ive reaction in full tide against the laraical
and radical Black Republicans, and a wearisomc-
ness everywhere of the souabbles and spols hunt
ing of the Democrats, the conservative element,
Mt Chicago could not do better than to unite
Bell ard Everett. and let th66ltra radicals go off
on SOME other candidate
The Washington 1nteligencer thus refers to
John Bell:
The first named OF these distinguished gentle
men has been long and no fav0rably known,
by reason of his conspicuous and valuable services
in our National Councils, that no words of culogy
needed at this day. or at our hands, in testi-
mony to the cardinal qualities which he possesses
rs a statesman, and which, as exemplifcd in his
public career. offer the best possible guarantee of
the ability and fidelity which he would bring to
the discharge Of the high Office for which he has
been named. The tribute paid to him by Con-
venton numbering among its members SO large n
representation Of the conservatism, intelligence
and worth IF the country, has thus the merit of
being well deserved and, while we recognize
many distinguished names among his competitors
for the honor, any one of whom we need not say
it would have been our pride and pleasure to sup
port. it is matter Of sincere qualification to us
that the choice of the Convention has fallen upon
a statesman whose claims we can advocate with
such entire and unhesitating cordality assured
as we are that best interests of the country so far
rs those interests reposed in the Executive de-
rartment Of the Government, would be secured by
his elevation to the Presidential Office.
