Taylor and Fremont.

When professional statesmen, like Polk
aud Pierce, disgust the American nation
by their corruptncss and subserviency to
aristocracy, they turn to the ranks of the
people for leaders, and discard life long,
mousing politicians.
In 1913, the eyes of honest masses of
all parties rested upon ZACHARY TAYLOR
as man likely to rule without partiality,
and for the public veal. Democrats and
Wings alike applauded him: but when
the Democrats found he would not carry
out their pro-slavery views, they dropped
him for the "Squatter Sovereign" No. l.
Great, however, as Gen. Cass unques-
tionably is as a statesman, the People pre-
ferred man who had never held civil
station, and bore TAYLOR into power, as
the Wing nominee, by a sweeping vote!
The ". T. Herald states that some Of
the most sagacious leaders of the Demo
cratic party, upon casting about for sue
cessor to Pierce, fell upon JOHN c. FRE-
MONT as just the man to rescue their par
ty from impending destruction, and asked
the use of his name for the Democratic
canvass Col Fremont thanked them for
their partiality, but frankly informed
them that he did not approve and could
not carry out the Slavery policy of the
party. The result is known Squatter
Sovereign No. , is selected. Bu. THE
PEOPLE have taken Fremont into their
charge, and he will probably be our next
President. The bands of party are con-
sumed like fax before the popular ERE of
Liberty.
MORE rRoors-That Fremont is an
cmissary of the Pope, is becoming more
and more clear to the X n editors of the
Eapress and the Ne,cs. They have ascer-
tanned that, hid by his coat and vest, he
has long secretly worn-just opposite his
breast-a pair of suspenders crossed after
the manner of the deluded Papists.
Timothy Tugmutton, Esq, late Alder
man of the Five Points, swears on a K n.
Almanac, that at the time when History
says Fremont was fasting from meat on
Fridays in the Rocky Mountains, he was
really in New York, studying theology
with Bishop Hughes, and that he and the
Bishop returning home from Mass arm in
arm were so drunk that they fell against
his iron fence and knocked down four or
five lcugths!
And to crown all, somebody who dogged
Jessie to market, actually saw her put a
piece of money in the hands of pretend
cd poor Irish woman, who exclaimed, Holy
Narsin bliss your swate face - 1t Is
confidently asserted, 10y Mr.. Fillmore and
other disinterested Natives, that the pre-
tended bcggar was a Nun in disguise, and
that Col. Fremont was secretly contribut-
ing Cthrough jessie the public funds Of
California to buy up all the American and
Democratic press of Pennsylvania =.
g2PThe Buchananites and Fillmore
les, are hard upon Fremont, but they
agree 10 better in their charges, than did
the "false witnesses against our Savior
II you Je.iere Mcm, Fremont is both a
Catholic and Know Nothing-an Abo,
l!ionist and slave hoider-gives $780,
600 to buy MP whole States, and cant sell
his own notes IN Wall strcet-was born in
South Carolina, in Georgia, in Canada, and
Frauce-ate mule and grasshopper soup,
and beef at dollar pounds " stin-
king Whig g and "nasty Locofoco" -
with various other enormities and contra
G.,ions, statement of each Of which is
destroying the other. One thing is GER
tam, and all sensible people will reflect
upon 1t: His was an unspotted character
before he was taken up for President; and
the Inference will be that the charges
against him are pure fabrications from
whole cloth, got up as last, desperate ex-
lcdient, TO defeat him
