The wheels of Legislation, on the Kansas
question, are now fairly hitched. The House

free State, with the Topeka constitution, on
Monday of last week, by majority of one

and sparring, the bill was passed by 100 to

trict left his room in New York, where he
has been confined for eight weeks, to aid in
the final passage of the bill. Herbert had
been indicted Tor the murder of Heating and
was confined in Jail, while Payne (South
American) was absent without having paired
off. These changes saved the bill.
While th,se proceedings were going on in
the House, the Senate was busy engaged in
the discussion of Douglas Kansas bill, and

Laboring Mems Candidate.

Some persons pretend to object to Fremont
because he is not a politician-because he
has never been brawlng party leader, or a
cunning wire worker. Such persons believe
that office seeking is an honorable business,
and would vote for drone of this character
in preference to a man who has been content
to devote his time, talents, and energy to the
public good, uninauenced by those selfish mo-
tives and petty ambitious aims so common
among politicians. Fortunately for the pub
lie good, this class of persons is limited to a
few who follow the business of office hunting,
while the great mass Of the industrious peo
pie take pleasure in elevating worthy men
from their own ranks.
These two classes Of persons are well rep
resented by Fremont and Buchanan. The
last named gentleman has always been pol
itician, his aim always being for office, to Sc
cure which he has ever been willing to stand
upon any platform selected for the occasion.
No other person could be found in the entire
country, who would so cheerfuly lend him
self to the support of any measure presented,
and who would say 81 am no longer James
Buchanan" but tool for the polilici ans who
can serve themselves by using me. This is
his trade-of such is his history.
How different is the case with Fremont
The son Of widow, his carly years were in
ured to hardships, and although liberal edu-
cation was his fortune. for it he was more in
debted to industry than wealth, and his con-
dition in life stimulated thorough acquain.
tsnce with those branches Of learning which
could be put into immediate practice and en-
able him to secure an honorable livelihood
by the sweat Of his brow. HIS history is too
well known to the people to require repeti-
tion at our hands. Under all circumstances,
in every field Of labor TO which he has been
called. his ability has more than 6qualed the
important duties devolving upon him. AS
a politician his career has been brief, but
quite long enough to establish two facts.
First-All parties unite in attributing the
adoption Of free constitution by California
to bis influence, and therefore none can doubt
his devotion to freedom in opposition to slavery
Second-It is equally evident that his sup.
port Of the free constitution Of California lost
for him a seat in the United States Senate
Had he been willing TO have been no longer
John c. Fremont" but merely tool for de
signing men, he might to-day hold a seat OIL
the floor OF the Senate. But he was no pol
itician, nothing but an honest, indutrious, and
talented man. devoted to right without refer,
