We publish to-day the private circular Vi 'ne
BELL State Committee and extracts from the private
circular of their National Committee at Washington
We publish them for the purpose of showing the
Democracy of Tennessee the energy and industry OF
the BELL party in organizing their forces distrbut-
ing documents and bringing to the polls every man
they can induce to vote for JOIN BELL and EDWARD
EVERETT Let the Democracy ask themselves what
they are doing to counteract the efforts of the Ig-
norers. Has each county formed its Democratic
club? Is each civil district organized? Have Com
mittees been appointed to procure and circulate
documents? Have documents been sent for? Have
any been received? If received have they been
circulated Documents cannot be published and
circulated without funds Printers, as a class, are
as poor as any other class of our citizens. They
require to be paid for their work just as much as
the merchant for his goods, or the farmer for his
produce. How much have you contributed to the
procurement and circulation of Democratic argu
ents in favor Of the constitutional rights of all the
States and of every citizen, North and South?
If the Ignorers can do so much to advance the
cause of such candidates on so indefinite platform
why cannot every Democrat go enthusiastically to
work for such candidates ours and for such
clear unequivocal indsputabe ennnciatOn OF poll
teal doctrine as is contained in our Platform. If
Mr. BELL carries the State that he has so long, so
often mlsrepFeSenteo, Ine olaef NIcre his pfteiul-
uent partially for himself is so well known, where
his bitter unspairing denunciations of Democratic
men and Democratic measures familiar as
household words if Mr.. BELL carries Tennessee
it will be the fault of those against whom he has
warred for quarter of a century. From all parts
of the State we can hear of former members of the
Opposition party who under the teachings of the
Nashville Patriot. Messrs ZOIIICoFFER, QUARLEs,
SxEED and others believe that the of DIR.
BELL upon the Kansas question unjust to the
South who believe that the Slavery question is q
great RUe practical question loTeSing nth the Govern
qlent for its UeYy existence which cannot be ignored
such men will not only refuse to for, but, will
vote against JOIN BELL Let the Democracy stand
firm and our triumph will be overwhelming and
crushing and Mr.. BELLS hopes of a reelection to
the Senate forever blasted.
The following is the private Circular of Mr.. BEI1s
State Committee:
Dear Sir: The Union State Central Executive
Committee would call the attention of all friends of
our cause, throughout the STATE of Tennessee, to
the vital Importance of perfecting organization
without further delay. Committees should be Or
gained in all the counties, with subcommittee in
each civil district. These committees should pro-
coed at once TO wOrk-tO hold frequent consuta-
TONS in order interchange information and advice
in regard to the progress and conduct of the
vass. The civil district committees should lose
time in thoroughly informing themselves In regard
to each voter in their respective precincts They
should find out the doubtful voters, in order that the
proper means may be adopted to secure such to
cause.
How you viii proceed with the work when once
engaged, your judgment Will be your best
guide but among all the instrumentalities for good
we would first recommend the careful circulation of
the DOCUMENTS. Our committee will endeavor to
furnish all the documentary matter which may be
neediul for general circulation SUCH in the pages
of The National Union" our campaign paper. Our
subscription price Of that publication is fixed at
low rate and will request our friends in sec
tions of the State where the number of the adher
ents of our cause is small. TO make known
their wants. and will endeavor TO furnish them
gratis so many documents may be needful over
and above the amount they may be able to pay for,
If they Will only provide for the payment OF the
postage on the same All such orders should be adj
dressed to a member Of the committee.
In conclusion, we would again most earnestly urge
our friends everywhere to organize; in counties
already organized TO go TO work in earnest Please
report your organization to (where not already
repOrted) and from time to time report progress.
Our intelligence, both public and private, has been
of a cheering character, increasing in the de-
gree of its encouragement, ever since the nomna-

District and county committees are inGustlousy en-
raped in the discharge of their duties anu that they
will cot fater in the prosecution of their patriotic
labor of love; but all these auxiliary associations

are very large, and constantly increasing. They
come by every mail, from all parts of the country,
and their earnest appeals must not be disregarded We
hqve done, are doing and VIII most gladly continue

gree at least with what it'll expected to accomplish
