"THE ELECTION OF FREMONT WOULD BE THE

Our danger is not from abroad it is home The cleo
on of Fremont would be the end of the Union ought
be- The object Of Fremon friends Is the conquest of the
South am content that they shall when they
quer u.s. but not before. -!Senator Toombss letter.
In the division of the labors Of the republican organs
the New York Herald to have Specially assigned
it the task Of showing the northern people that the cleo
ton of Fremon would not endanger the Union. In at
to discharge this task, the Herald of yesterday
quotes recent letter Of Senator Toombs from which
make the foregoing extract and undertakes to satisfy the
northern mind that the Union in danger from the
election of Fremont As we have right to regard the
Herald as speaking autborativey this subject and
making the best defence of Col Fremons position which
it is susceptible propose to give its article passing
notice. .
The Herald starts out with series of admissions the
subject slavery which worthy ofparticular attention
We quote and italieise several sentences: ..

With such views these the subject of slavery the
reader would wonder how the writer could be black
republican and supporter of Fremont If he had not al
ready been informed that the quotation is made from the
New York Herald The sequel win show however that it
only necessary fer the argument Of the Herald
that II should such sentiments in regard to slavery
but that II should maintain that they me real though
s,era sentiments OF Col Fremont After falsely atribu-
ting Messrs Buchanan Fillmore and Toombs interested
motives for the they entertain the danger the
Union from the election Of Fremont the Herald proceeds
to the argument
1t conceded by the Herald that the sectional character
of the republican platform cannot be successfully denied
but presidential platforms presidential chea says
the Herald and in that summary way Colonel Fremont is
made to reject the platform Of his party which he has
daily endorsed and which be has given his word to
administer the government in the event OF his election

The argument Of the Herald then amounts simply this
Fremont is not really republican but has agreed to
that position in order to reach the presidency and
that when he is elected be viii throw of the disguise
the instincts Of his southern birth and education and
make national Prcsident-lsrgore his election pA NOT
result IN dissolution Of The Union We need not note the
fact that this argument Fremont to be dshone,
mathat he is cheating the republicans, and that he
will cheat them If he is elected need express any
surprise that the Herald is supporting him upon the
sumption Of his dishonesty But suppose the Herald Is
cheated in assuming that Fremont Is not really republic
and suppose elected he should undertake to
the pledge on which he expected to make his admins
trstion purely sectional then what becomes of the Union
The fair deduction is that the Herald comedies the Union
will be dissolved unless Fremont shall cheat the republ.
