Hg The New York Herald recently

RS The New York Herald recently
intimated that Col. Fremont was sounded
on the subject of accepting the Demo-
craft: nomination for the presidency, but
was found uusound on the, Slavery
question, and therefore dropped. In
recen. speech at Kalamazoo, Michigan.
Hon. George G. Bates. former Attorney
General of that State, now Of California,
stated that, at the New York Metropoli-
tan Hotel, in September of last year, at
two interviews between Col. Fremont and
Gov Floyd of Virginia. sought by the
latter, he offered Col. +. The support of
certain leading men Of the party, North
and South with whom lie had consulted
if he would allow his name to be used be-
fore The Democratic national convention
as a candidate for the presidential nomi'
nation. Col, Fremont, after listening pa
tiently and knowing the platform he was
expected to stand upon, replied that, while
deeply sensible of The high dis inction of
the proposition made him, and flattered
by the promises il exended, yet with his
opinion of the repeal OF the Missouri
Compromise, it would be impossible for
him 10 entertain the proposition. He
considered that repeal an Infamous breach
Of plighled faith, and should never desist
denouncing the act and its authors
These facts were communicated to Hon.
N. P. Banks and Hon. Henry Wilson,
Of Massachusetts,. who saw Col. Fremont
and the result of that interview was that
he consented to lead the hosts Of freedom
in this campaign il the people should call
him 10 that position. Mr.. Bates gives

A DUN.-If our subscribers, who are

have the kindness to pay us for the paper,
it would be acknowledged MS special
favor at this time. We have some fifteen
hundred dollars marked on our books
against about five hundred persons resld-
ing in this and other States. Now, Two
or three dollars is but a small amount,
and we presume there are many who
think it matter Of no importance that
they should be prompt in sending so
small sum. But look at it! Five hun
dred subscribers reasoning in that way,
while the editor is compelled 10 either
raise from thirty to forty dollars every
week, or suspend the publication of his
paper.
For six or eight months we have not
said anything upon this subject, and
hence our subscribers seem 10 take it for
granted that we are publishing paper
as a mere matter of recreation. Such is
not the fact. II is labor for which we
must be compensated. Please send The
money you owe us. at our risk, and you
will be more than eomI ensated by con
sciousness that you have discharged a

Maine Election.

Contrary TO our expectations when we
noliced the probable result of the Maine
election, in our last weekly issue, we have
now the cheering intelligence 10 record of
the complete triumph OF the Republican
party in that state, by majority of over
T0enty Thousand. Here is the only
Stale in New England upon which the
Slave party had been encouraged to build
their hopes of success, and 10! that last
hope is snatched from them. Thirty six
thousand dollars entirely thrown away in
order to secure the State to Mr. Buchan-
an, and 10 think of it, beat by over twen-
ty thousand, more than half as many
votes as there were dollars spent to bribe
the good people of Maine to change their
course of action.
Gentlemen Of Hunkerdom, the die is
cast. AS friend to all mankind in gen.
eral, and to stumpers and office seekers
in particular, having once been little
inclined that way ourself, we advise you
all to go home and make yourselves USE
ful citizens, by some honorable employ
menl, and thus save your time and money
The people are telling you in a voice toe
loud moi 10 be heard, and to plain too be
misunderstood, that they have no farther
use for you, either in a Legislative, Ju
dicial, or executive capacity. This ad
vice is given 10 you in kindness. By ia
king it you will save yourselves from
deeper modification.

A CHAPTER on Antecedents.

We know among the supporters oil
James Buchanan those who take down
the Cincinnati Platform as they would
take down ipecac, 10 throw it up again.
For portion of the pseudo-named De-
mocracy of the North, we have some
charity yet left, though it has latierly been
exceedingly taxed with their obstinate
political waywardness. We believe there
are those left who have not as yet sold
out "body and breeches to the slave
power, and who cannot be bought.
These men, whose political notions
and private caechism are at war with the
teachings and requirements of that most
subservient of platfol ms, and withal most
rotten, in order to reconcile their con-
sciences to the support of the Standard
Bearer Of that Convention with the new
confession of political faith adopted by
it, invariably tell us that they rely upon
the antecedentS of Mr.. Buchanan, and
have confidence that he will "square {"
himself TO his past, rather than to these
new dogmas, which they, with us, and
all good people of the country true to its
real interests, most heartily denounce.
We would be led to think that they treat
that well-known " Wheatland Speech "
very much as did Barnwell Khetl, Of
Sou'h Carolina, celebrated expression
in an obsolete paper, once known as the
Declaration Of Independence, as a mere
"rhetorical flourish" if we could see
any rhetoric in the speech.
But as to onttcedentS, we think these
men, il they will but take the trouble 10
search the record" will find them to
their hearts content. We assert that
there is on tha, record enough of subser.
viency TO the slave-power in the senatorial
career of their man Of anteCedentS, tc
sink any man beyond the hope of roliti
cal resurrection by the hands Of the peo
pie of the free North.
Away back, about the year 1886, they
talked as Hippantly in the South as they
do now Of the dissolution Of the Union
and il was but very short time after
wards, we believe, thai James Buchanan
told the people Of Pennsylvania, at thu
close Of long harrangue, in which hi
spoke, seemingly as labor of love, o
the wrongs Of the South, the shabby act
of the North, and things Of that ilk, tha
the election of JOE KlTNER to the Guber
material Chair Of Pennsylvania ",COult
be a most pOtsntOus omen Of the disSolu
lion of The Union" =!
In the year 1896, on the 4 h day o
February, Mr.. Calhoun introduced int
The Senate Of the United States a Bill

Noble Independence.

The Wellsburg Herald, of the 18th
inst, contains an editorial article animad-
verting with just severity upon charge
recently given by his Honor, Judge G.
W. Thompson, to the Grand Jury of
Brooke County, Va, defining treason
discussing the Slavery question, denounc-
ing political party of the country
those advocating the election Of Fremont
for President of the United States, as
"Black Republicans" associated with
"Atheists " and Unitarians," to effec'
the downfall of our institutions, besides
rejecting injuriously upon certain citizens
of Brooke county, as deficient in dis.
charging The duties of citizenship.
The editor of the Herald takes up
some Of the points of the charge and
shows in clear and forcible manner the
dangerous tendency of prostiluting the
functions Of the Judiciary to party politics.
The course of the Wellsburg Herald
for the last year has been dignifed, hon.
orable and independent upon the Slavery
question. Its editors are composed ol
that kind of material which cannot be
driven, by The threats of petty tyrants,
from tina, course which their enlightened
understanding teaches them is proper to
be pursued. We wish them success ir
the cause Of freedom.

THAT ONE VoTE.--While tile duty Of
voting is imparilive, the possibilities of a
single vote are such as may well appall
the Indifferent. 1t is possible that one
vote in a state, county, district, vii
lage, may turn the destinies Of this great
nation for a Christian civilization or for
barbarism and despolism. This is not
mere hypothesis. The follow ing facts
from competent hand, makes an appeal
to the conscience of every voter:
One VoTE.-. One vote in the United
States Senate annexed Texas to the Uni
ted S ales. Mr.. Hannegan, of Indiana,
cast that vote. One vote in the Indiana
Legislature elected Mr.. Hanegan to his
place in the Senate. That vote was cast
by Madison Marsh of Steuben County
Mr. Marsh was chosen to the Legislature
Of indiana by one vote.
Hence one vote cast by private citizen
at a primary election, annexed Texas,
provoked the Mexican war, sacrificed fifty
thousand lives, rolled upon us a national
dept of one hundred millions 100000,
O00,) gave us California, Utah and New
Mexico, called into being new empire on
the Pacific coast, placed Zachary Taylor
in the Presidential chair, and shaped oul
politics for at least three administrations.
