(jul27-tf. ; DBS ARC CITIZEN J~ c- MORRILL, EDITOR. °ES ARC, ARKANSAS: WEDNESDAY.OCTOBER 3. 1860. p Mr. Bell’s Chances. The New York Journal of Commerce. _ confessedly one of the most dignified and s reliable papers in the country, has the fol - lowing statement in regard to the strength of Bell and Everett at the North : “Bell and Everett at the North_ - A Southern editor asks us to give a listof the a Bell and Everett papers in the non-slavehold , ing States. It is out of our power to do so ; b hut the number is very small. To the best ol our knowledge and belief, the Boston “ Cou 1 r'er” is the only one in New England. In the * State of New York are the New York “ Ex press” of this city, the Ontario “Repository,” - and, probably, a few others. There are, also, . we presume, two or three in New Jersey. As i at present advised, we should say there are not above a dozen in the non-slaveholding . States. The strength of the party is at the South; but as there in every State the Bell party is smaller than the Democratic party, ; and in most of the States smaller than the I Breckinridge party, it would seem to be the 1 part of wisdom for them to unite with l he 1 iatter ; and so defeat Lincoln, which is their principal aim, as it should be of all national men. “ There is not the slightest probability that Bell and Everett will get an electoral vote North of IVlason and Dixon’s line, unless by co-operating with other parties, as in the case of New Jersey, where three Bell men are on the Democratic ticket. “If the “Express” or any other Bell and Everett paper will publish a list of the papers of its class in the non-slaveholding States we shall be happy to copy it.” While t is true as the Journal says, “the strength of Mr. Bell’s party is in the South,” yet even here it is inconsiderable and utterly impotent for good. Mr. Bell has never been a favorite with the mass of Southern 'Whigs, and is incapable of exciting enthusiasm under any circum stances. Already defection to his cause exists among the Whigs of Virginia, Geor gia, Alabama, Mississippi, and formidable accessions to Breckinridge have been made HPl. • . -__„ _ ticeable in Alabama. In this State the Montgomery Mail for twenty years the organ of the Opposition is giving Mr. Breckinridge a cordial support. Judge A. F. Hopkins and Hon. W. P. Chilton, both life-long Whigs—both having held the highest judicial station in the gift of the people, and both men of national reputa tion, are actively engaged in the canvass for Breckinridge. Hon. James Abercom bie, Hon. S. P. Rice, Hon. Thomas. J. Judge and Hon. B. M. Woolsy, all of whom have frequently been the recipients of the suffrages of the Opposition for Con gressional honors, have abandoned Bell and are now enthusiastically for Breckin ridge. In Mississippi a similar slate of things exists; many of the ablest Whigs of the State have taken position for Breck inridge. Col. Geo. H. Young of Colum bus, a man of great ability and influence and an active Whig, has abandoned Bell and Everett and now supports Breckin ridge and Lane. The same is true of Gen. P. B. Starke and Hon. A. M. West, both members of the State Senate. Col. II. II. Purdom, a Whig member of the House from Hinds county is also for for Breckinridge. Col. Charles D. Fon taine, the opposition candidate for Gover nor in 1S55 and Gen. Clarke, a Whig candidate for Congress in 1857, are also for the Democratic candidate. In Geor gia there has been equally as great a stam pede from Bell and concentration upon Breckinridge. The questions which now agitate the country and threatens the disruption of the Union, present no points of difference for the division of the people of the Soutli into Whigs and Democrats. No longer are the bank, internal improvements, tariff', &c., the shibboleths of party. Issues of far greater importance now demand of every patriot the harmony and unity of the South. The South united will strengthen the arms of the Northern conservatives and enable them to defeat the enemies of the Union. But discord and division at the South paralyzes the arm of the Union men at the North and encourages the ef- ^ forts of the Black Republicans. That there is no chance for Bell is evi dent to every man; but when the same condition of affairs existed in 1856, wt were told that Filmore’s chances were su , perior to Buchanan’s. The result is knowi! to the people of the South, and from i they may form a judgment upon the pre \ sent canvass. The only chance that Join | Bell has militates in favor of Lincoln.— His friends present the South as dividei between a semi-Abolitionist and a true sound, conservative Democrat; and this . division encourages the hopes and spurs the eneigies of Abolitionists to accomplish t a victory, believing that a people who di vide into parties, and choose between Bellj land Breckinridge, will naer be able tc , unite in resistance to any agression. VVe know that the Bell men of f^ie South are true and sound in their deration and at tachment to their section; hut,this knowl edge does not exist among th^Abolition ists of the North. They knoJfiVIr. Bell's votes infovor of the reception olAbolilion petitions; they know his deductions in favor of the Abolition of slave* in the District of Columbia—they kmW what would hive been the operation of his in iquitousamendment to the Ilomestfed bill, and seeing that all these measures Militate I against ihe interests and instituiion&f the South, anil that their author is supported by a portion of the Southern people, Vhey naturally conclude that the supported of Mr. Beil are semi-Abolit.on, as the pln ciples of Mr. Bell are more than se^i Abolition. The error of this conclusLi on the part of the people of the Noi^i will become apparent too late to save ll* Union. Under the belief that they havl allies among the Bell men of the South’ the Northern Abolitionists in power will push tbeir aggressions until Bell men and Breckinridge men, and men of all parties by one common consent, will rise in re sistance to the Federal Government. Lei this erroneous impression be dispelled ai once before it accomplishes the mischief, To do this, let the Whigs of the Soutl abandon Bell and unite with their Demo craticfellow citizens in harmonizing the South, An Interesting Document. The announcement hy Mr. Douglas ai Petersburgh and Norfolk, that he would treat those who attempt to dissolve the Union on the account of the election ol Lincoln, as Jackson treated the nullifiers in 1332, has induced some of our Geor gia cotemporaries to republish a letter ad dressed by Hon. Herschel V. Johnson, tc a committee of gentlemen at Augusta, Ga., in the' year I8-5U A perusal"of the Iptfpr will slintu flint les without gloves those, who, like Mr. Douglas, maintain that the right of seces ion is merely a right of revolution. Can the ticket with such a head and tail mis lead a sufficient number of the Democracy of tire South to give a single Stale to the opposition. In the following ettrnct he affirms the right of secession and denoun cesMr. Douglas’ idea of co-etch" a sov ereign Slate : ‘•The contest in which the people of Geor gia in common with her sister glareholding Staes are engaged, is one of vilil impor tant. It involves the destiny of the South, ant' the federative character of oir system of (overnment. It is waged upon the right of i State peaceably to secede 'rom the Urion. The Gubernatorial candidite of the Sothern Rights party maintains tie affirma tiv, and the candidate of the tnibmission paty the negative of this great mcstion.— Ttj one, that the right necessarly results frcn the reserved sovereignty of die States an the nature of the confederacy; and the otter, that it exists only as a rig’lt of revo liiton. The former insists that tie General Gverpmen has no right to co-ercen seceding Stte ; and the latter, that such seeding State mat depend, for the maintenance if its posi tin, ‘‘upon the stout hearts and string arms of a rec people.” The one, unhesititingly and btdly avows that if a Southern Stste were to scede, he would not obey a requistion by the Fdeial Government made upon him as the Eet.utive of Georgia, for troops o force her bck into the Union; and the otherdeclares he “'Ould convene the Legislature o' the State, ail recommend them to call a eaivention of tli people ” to instruct him in an emergency invhicu the impulses of the trie Southern hert should be a sufficient guide. The great isse then, 1 repeat, is the i igtt of a State toseccde from the Union, andthe correl ate absence of any right, on he part of tli Federal Government to foue such a Stte back into the Union. It cainot be eva rid by THE SENSELESS CLAMOR O’ UNION ! THIS GLORIOUS UNION! Te integrity of the Uuion is not assailed by tfe Southern Rights party in Oorgia. Its tne friends arc those who inslstupon main tjiiing the rights resulting froa the sover efnty of the States.

Then let avigilant peo pe look well to the true and oily issue in vlved in the pending campaign—the right of aSUte peaceably to secede i’roa the Union. In the next extract that wi present he fisumes that the signs of the iines render . probable that, at no distint day, this ight of secession will assunn a form and nagnitude of practical impoimice : Whoever observes the signsof the times :annot fail to see that the RUliT OF SE CESSION will probably, at iO distant day, ASSUME THE FORM AND UGN1TUDE )F PRACTICAL IftlPORTiNCE. The South is a permanent minority n our Federal legislature. The tone of Nortlnn fanaticism ibates not in its frenzy and insolence. It iresses on rapidly to the consummation of its iiabolical designs. And whatcheck has the South upon its progress? Hav we any under he established rules of parlimentary law ? Can we expect any justice at te hands of the iresent Freeseil Executive an; his Cabinet? Can we effect anything by ammenband ap ieals to the reason of our NCATHERN OP PRESSORS? CAN WE OTA IN SHEL PF.lt UNDER THE BROAf SHIELD OF PUE CONSTITUTION? .O! All these ,re as impotent as pack threa to restrain an RREPRESSIBLE AND FANATICAL MA ORITV. -How many a man, by trowing himself o the ground in despair, crusts and destroys , orever a thousand flowers of lope that were , -eady to spring up and gladde all bis path- ] vay. I The Coalition. “THE PATRIOTIC NAT.OVA L UNION DEMOCRAT! HAVE CO OPERATED WITH US MOST MANFUL EV, AND WE MUST HEREAFTER CONSIDEI THEM AS BRETHREN.” The reader will at once recognize tin above ns an extract from Gen. Combs’ let tor to Prentice. The “patriotic Nationa ! Union Democracy” referred to are tin Douglas men of Kentucky. Squatter Sov ereignty may consider itself honored by such an affiliation, but every sound Demo crat will regard himself as disgraced by the association. The name of the party of which Gen. Combs deserves to be recognized as chief, can never be so changed as to conceal the malignancy of that party to the Democra cy of the old State-Rights school. There is, however, no expedient, no contrivance, no unworthy artifice to which it will not have recourse to decoy unsuspecting Do tnocrais from the love of cherished duty. It succeeded, for a time, so well with vows administered in dark lodges, that it is ex ceedingly hopeful of the alluring prospects ipresented by Squatter Sovereignty. It may Wrap the unthinking and enlist the dis affected, but they will both flee from it 'V>en they find out the blunder they have cqnmitted, as good men flee from the de mValizing influence of bad men. Ve appeal to every Democrat who is a Democrat in anything but name, to pause before lie takes the leap into resurrected Kuon-Nothingism. Douglasism is lead ing nVny in the South blind-foldedly thi ther, tyiile it is leading as large a number in likelpianner, into the vortex of Black Republicanism in the North. The \)emocratic party, with John C. BreckimVlge as its standard-bearer, occu pies preckely the same position it did in 1800, yitb Mr. Jefferson at its head. It adheres rig idly to first principles—to the Constitution, in the letter and spirit in which it "Vs adopted. It can coalesce . i. _ r. i i • . ... TfTnT-uv mv'vmih wrm.ii a mi a uf-tiTU Si 1^ 111 est violatioulpf any of the provisions of that invaluable boon to an infant country It abhors resuscitated Know-Nothingism in the slave Suites |ust as much as it ab hors rampant fjee-soilism in the non-slave Lolding Stales. It will not soil the hem of its garmentsWith either. Is there a Douglas man in the Union, who has not Kri»w Nothing or Republi |can proclivities, who will not be shocked at the expression of Combs that he is in debted to “the National Union Democra cy” for making him ‘'the instrument of po litical redemption”—(hat is the resurrec tion of buried Know-Nothingism. In the memorable political contest of 55-56, tens of thousands of well intention ed Democrats were decoyed, by the novel ty of the thing, into the dark recesses of Know-Nothingism. As manfully as in dignantly did they emerge from the pesti lential caverns which they had been indu ced, by stealthy means, to penetrate.— When the followers of Douglas in the slaveholding Slates discover, ns they can not fail to do after reading the letter of Combs, that they are practically in alli ance with their old arch enemy, they will loose not a moment in escaping from the meshes so artfully prepared for them. If the letter of Gen. Coombs is a correct in dicator, the candidacy of Douglas will be as much loathed in the South us was that of Martin Van Buren in 1818. A united Southern Democracy, aroused to a sense of common danger, will manifest its un qualified condemnation of it. Nor do we I believe that it will bo in better favor with the true Northern Democracy. It will occasion us no astonishment, whatever, if it does not receive the vole of a solitary elector, North or South. -* «♦ Mr. Douglas in Virginia. The Richmond Enquirer has the fol lowing notice of Mr. Douglas’ speech in Richmond: Indeed, the “demonstration’’ was even a worse failure than the speech.' And as to the speech, it is enough to say that Mr. Douglas made a very great blunder in speaking at all. Nowhere else are the people so well accustom ed to good stump oratory as in Virginia. No where else is stump speaking so constantly, carefully and critically cultivated. Nowhere else are the rank and die so thoroughly inform ed in matters of political fact and theory. A political candidate for any office appearing be fore a Virginia audience with a piping voice, anawkwaid manner and a prosy speech, is already half damned in their estimation. Arid a candidate for the State Legislature who would commit one-half the blunders in rela tion to well known political facts which Mr. Douglas committed on Friday night, would be severely taken to task, on the spot, by a ma jority of his audience. When a Presidential L'andfidate informs an intelligent audience in Virginia that they voted for squatter sover eignty in 1848 and 1856, and when hundreds jf Ins audience know that the Virginia reso lutions and addiess of 1848 denounced the loctrine is unmeasured terms—and even re fused to support any candidate known to be :omraitted to it—and that a similar repudia ion was even printed on our electoral ticket n 1.856, such a state of things can only serve o disgust every intelligent listener. No won ler, then, that a number of our substantial litUens who went to the capitol grounds dis- ■ msed to vote for Douglas, left wdth open ex-1 , iressions of contempt for the candidate. 11 Mr Douglas as Whipper-in for Lin ■ . coin Mr. Douglas has recently appeared he fore the people of the South in a nee rule—that of Lincoln’s whipper-in.— During his recent electioneering tour ir Virginia, he informed the people that lu would aid the President against any sere ding State. The Democracy of the South tnught in the school of Jefferson am Madison, and accepting the resolutions o ’9S and '99 as their creed, believe in tlx right of a State to secede, and that s State is to be the judge of the cause of se' cession. But Douglas, Haskin and the eighteen millions of the Nortli think dif. ferently. We have only to say to Mr Douglas that whenever he undertakes tc co-crce ns Lincoln’s Lieutenant, the sov. ervign States of the South, the gallows ol John Brown will he re-erocted, and he may find himself pendant therefrom. John Brown, says the Richmond En quirer, begun the co ercing process which Mr. Douglas is to perfect under the Pres idency of Lincoln, and the people of Vir ginia have not forgot their handiwork in his execution. This doctrine of co-ercing sovereign States, though old and familiar at the North, is new and unaccustomed u the people of the South. The elder Floyd, when Governor of Virginia, caused Geu. Jackson to know that Federal troops should not cross her borders except over the dead bodies of her sons. A similar spirit still animates tho people of the South, and Mr. Douglas will find this new rule one of no little difficulty. Mr. Douglas has fully and fairly, and we may say boldly and defiantly proclaim ed his purpose. His own election he sees to bo impossible. He knows he will not receive the electoral vote of a single State. He has stumped New England and New York, not against lire dominant and powerful party in these States. Against the Republican.pony be utte.red._jio .word of objection; but against his late associates ol the Democratic party lie leveled nil the invectives which disappointment and chagrin could invent, lie came South to create divisions and discord, to break up the unity of the South; her only hope against tire aggressions of the North. His speeches and candidacy are a help to Lincoln, and he is the most efficient aid to Black Republicanism they could have selected. The future Jlid-de-canvp of Lincoln has demonstrated the truth of the remark that “ Squatter Sovereignty is a short cut to Black Republicanism.” As a fitting rebuke to this iufatnons avowal of Mr. Douglas, we p-eseut to our readers the following protest, signed at the Virginia White Sulphur Springs by a number of eminent citizens of the South, accidently assembled at that place: “a protest. Tlie undersigned, citizens of the Southern States, accidently assembled at the White Sulphur Springs, have read with much sur prise the speech of Judge Douglas, recently delivered at Norfolk, and being many of them too remote from their homes to take part in any public expression of opinion there, deem it due to themselves to make known in this manner their dissent from its doctrines. In this address, Mr, Douglas declares that if tlie Southern States (not a part but all) shall secede from the Union, upon the inaugu ration of Abraham Lincoln, it will be tlie duty of the President of the United States, who, in tlie case supposed, will be Lincoln, by arms to punish or subdue tbern, and that he will counsel him to do so and aid him to do so by all the means in his power. Now as there is a large party at the North avowing the most implacable hostility to the institutions of the South; whose candidate for the Presidency is Mr. Lincoln, this decla ration of Mr. Douglas is in cifect—that the election of a man to the Presidency of the U. States, by the votes alone of one section, who is pledged to use all the powers of the Govern ment for the destruction of the rights and property of the other section, would not jus 'ify the weaker in resistance, but that if in such n., in.. .. ..i.....i.i assume to determine on the extent of tlieir danger, and to quietly withdraw from it, he should regard their action as revolt, and as such to be punished with all the force of the Government. Than this we can conceive of no doctrine more dangerous to the South. It confounds resistance to established law, by individuals which it would be the duty of the Chief Magistrate to punish, with the peace able Secession of States from a compact no longer consistent with tho interest or existence of its constituents; but it treats the Union as a perpetual bond, exacting unconditional sub mission, forever, from a weaker to a stronger , sectiou. it sti ips the States of the chief at- ; tribute of sovereignty, to-wit: The right to I determine when their existence is put to haz- : ard, as to the means necessary to their preser- 1 vatlou,and allium that, while it is legitimate 1 in the people of tho North having control of 1 the Ueneial Government, through it, to inflict j upon the States of the Sou'll whatever wrongs 1 it may be con ditent with their interest or feelings to impose, it would be treason in the 1 people of the South to ouey the orders of their States in opposition to Federal author ity. . ... a Fraught with error as this doctrine is, sub versivc of thatcoiistitutional theory, in which alone the rights of the States are to be fouud, v it fias, at this moni -nt, and under the circum- a stances, a bloody significance. The enemies i of the South, in tile Nortnern States, have se- • lected Abraham Lincoln to lead them in the 1 irrepressible conflict,” which he has p o- ' claimed. Mr. Seward, the most distinguished .•ounselor of Mr. Lincoln, declares at Boston hat the election of Lincoln is sure—that with it the power of slavery will end, and liat the “ ii repressible conflict” will be tressed to its infamous and bloody close. Ai such a moment the proclamation of such ! eu irnents by Judge Douglas, (coming imme- I [ liately after Seward’s Boston speech,) uttered • lere at the South, aud addressed to tho citi- J a zona of n State whose Executive declared ter General Jackson, that Federal troops should only cross her borders over the bodies of her ■ sons—-by a man from the North, from the , neighborhood of Lincoln himself, a candidate for the Presidency, volunteering his counsel to Lincoln, and, in the event of his election, his aid to wage war upon our people and to elay them in battle as rebels, or hang them in cold blood as traitors, if they shall render obtdi ence to State rather than Federal authority, is repugnant to every sense of right, and , merits from the people of the South, the severest rebuke. Such a rebuke, we sincerely , hope, will be given the doctrine and iU author' at the November elections. James Lyons, Richmond city. John Perkins, Louisiana. Allen 3 Izard, South Carotin*.

"The Impending Crisis.” Under tlie above eruptian the Lynchburg Republican lias the following sensible view of 1 hn Mnvnsu ia nn [•original Douglas man, and wo commend liis patriotic suggestions to the attentive perusal of all Douglas men : To cry over spilt milk Is a whim, barely ex cusable iu a prattling child j but when Indulg ed by adults and sensible men, it is an inexcu sable and disgusting folly and weakness. Tba faults which have been committed are irreme diable now, and we consult neither the duty of patriots or statesmen when We stop tor criminate and recriminate amongst ourselves as to the causes ami agencies which precipi tated our present disasters upon us. The na ked question now presented for the solution of every Democrat Is: shall Virginia be lost or saved to Democracy iu the pending contest? Shall the glorious flag of our party continue to wave in unbroken triumph over our soil, or be permitted to trail iu the dust of disgraceful defeat! For ourselves, we hesitate not to say that Virginia must not be lost, that she must and shall be saved. And we call upon the “Spartan band” of Democracy in Lynchburg, witli whom, shoulder to shoulder, we have fought an hundred battles—and we call upon , that noble army of Democratic friends in •'W the surrounding country, who bare so ofren sent up their triumphant greetings on the day of battle—we invoke them to gird on their ar mor and march to the affray. Especially do we call upon the friends of Judge Douglas to abandon that distinguished gentleman. Did Judge Douglas stand the least chance to carry the State—did we not know that ha is not as strong by far in Virginia as Mr. Breckinridge, we would not make this appeal. On the con trary, if we believed he was aa strong as Breckinridge, we declare here that we would lling his llag to the breeze ami fight for him to tile close of the Campaign with aa mucb zeal as we expect to battle for our present ticket. But no candid man will pretend to say that such is the case. No man thinks that there is a ghost of a chance to carry the 8tute for any one but Breckinridge and Lane or Bell and Everett. A vote for Douglas, therefore, in the present aspect of affairs, is a vote for the Opposition. It can do Douglas no good,and will do Breck inridge harm. It will weaken our cause, without improving, in the least that of Mr, Douglas. Wliy,then, in the name of patriotism, should any Democrat cling to the fortunes of Judge Douglas? Every Democrat at the North ought to vote l'or him, because there be is strong and lias the best chance of success. But here, iu Virginia, he has no chance, end every Democrat ought to vote to secure the State for Breckinridge and Lane, or, for that it may be, under jane of the lesolutions of the Charlottesville Convention, that the vote of Virginia may be cast for Douglas, even though Breckinridge electors may he chosen. Is not bis fair and patriotic? Does any Douglas Democrat want the vote of Virginia thrown iwny? Do not ali of their: want it cast in the lest'way to defeat Lincoln ? Why, then, vote or electors who confessedly stand not a ghost if a chance to carry the State? When we resume our editorial duties (in a ’ew days) we think we shall be able to con duce every reasonable Douglas Democrat in Virginia that every consideration of duty and latriotism requires him to sustain the flag we ustaiu. in the meantime, we think the sim ile fact that our life-long enemies, the Whigs, .re shouting their notes of anticipated victory n our ears, flaunting their flags in our face, nd laughing in their sleeves at our suicidal i vision, is sufficient to arouse the ancient fire f every Democrat, and make us all a band of rothers. Once more to the breach, then, Democrats, ear friends, once more! There have been endless disputes bout the distinction between pride and unity. One fact is sufficient to show the astnesa of the diffeieuce. Many men re almost pleased to be called proud.— fou can call no man vain without insult ng him. Another surely sufficient dis iuetion is, that the former is one of the mncipal guardians of women, and that he latter is oue of their most frequent be rayers. -A man who assisted to empty several lottles of wine, afterwards took a walk, in® aveinents were quite icy, and he exclaimed : Y'-e-r-y singular, whenever watei freezes, it lwaya free4e* with the fl-ijq>ery aide up.
