NFw YoRE, Oct. s.--At meeting Of the Brock
inridee State Committee, this evening, the Presi
DENTAL Electors resigned in order to unite the
Democracy on the Union Electoral ticket.
An address was adopted which denounces the
Albany Regency and charges upon them the pur-
pose, by refusing to allow compromise with the
Breckinridge Committee, of giving the State to
Lincoln. 1t attacks Douglas and his platform, but
recommends the support Of the Douglas and Bell
fusion Electoral ticket, headed by Mr.. Redfeld, in
order to defeat Lincoln, and throw the election
into Congress.
Mr.. Bcrrs Record the Slavery Question.
A document has been published by the Breckin-
ridge and Lane National Committee in Washing
ton City, purporting to be Record Of John Bell
on the slavery question, filled with charges and
inuendoes against his soundness as q Southern
man.

charges, and afford our friends advocating the
claims of Mr.. Bell, evidence from the record, at
once eifeetual and indisputable, ne repnblish the
following compilation Of Mr.. Bells uotes upon
questions involving the institution of slavery which
we find prepared to our hand by the Georgia
Southern Watchman. If this record does not
etfectualy dispose Of the charges brought against
Mr.. Bell, at least to the satisfaction of all fair
minded men, we are sadly mistaken:
