Speech by the Hon. John Bell.

--The Hon. John Bell addressed a very large assemblage of ladies and gentlemen at Nashville, on the 22d inst., upon the all-absorbing question of the day. The Nashville Patriot, in an editorial reference to the address, says:

‘ Mr. Bell still has hopes of the Republic.--He does not believe that the time has yet come for the destruction of the Union. He does not believe that the tree of our liberties, planted in the dark days of the Revolution, and watered by some of the best blood of our country, is yet to fall before the axe which is uplifted for its destruction.
