EDITOR OF JOURNAL: - As You have ire
quently charged it upon the Bell and Everett
party of this place, that they had formed an
alliance with the Democracy, for the purpose
of embarrassing the Republicans, permit me
to correct the error you have fallen into
So far as am acquainted with the sentiments
of those comprising the Bell and Everett
party, they believe that the majority should
rule-that Mr.. Lincoln has been constitu-
tionally eltc'ed-that, as good citizens, they
should cheerfuly aoquiesee in that verdict
that they are bound to assist the President
in carrying out all constitutional measures
ho may deem best to adopt ard, while they
will always lend their best energies to sus-
tain the Union Of the States, they will repu-
date Union with the Democracy.
! ,rs BELL AND EvERHTT.
We are glad to find that the above senti-
ments are entertained by most of the sup
porters of the late Bell and Everett ticket
10 this county. 1t is only those who hav,
deep-seated prejudices against the Republi
can party, or who are pro-slavery at heart
that have united with the Democracy il
giving aid and comfort to treason at th
South. We cheerfully make the correction
