Of The Stats assailed with m1rdcrous violence in
the sepate-such are the achisr rrnis which stamp
with odium and with execIa,it. he career Of this
Administration and Of this palS marking both for
overthrow at the hands Of tn, sssu'ted aud indis-
nant masses.
1t is folly to say that this party will pursue a
different course in case Of the election Of Mr.
Buchanan. An Office seeker from the first, supple
and yielding irem the first, devoted to the pur.uit
Of parts chances and not of principles, he is not
made Of the stuff 10 snatch the so-caled Democratic
party from the clutch Of the Nufers and Slavery
EXteIsiOLists, and restore it to uprightness and
honor Even if it were possible, Mr.. Buchanan
could never do 1t. But it is not possible. That
party is irredeemably lost. 1t cannot be made any
thing else than party for the extension of Slavery
and the suhjusatiOn Of Freedom. Whoever is its
standard bearercan to lead it in any other
direction. AS well might man in row boat in
theNiagara rapids attempt to reverse the sweeping
current in ito march toward the cataract. Besides,
as for Mr. Buchanan, be has not only pledged him
self the Slavery Extensionists, but his special
friends are of that color. Why, the most in
fuebtal and confidential of them is Mr.. Forney,
one Of the foremost in forcing the KaDsas-Ne-
brasha bill through Crongress by means of Ex-
ecutive patronage and influence. Next there is
Slidel Of Louisiana, who voted for that bill, and
did his utmost to secure its passage. And then
there ia Douglas, readiest of all opposing candi-
dates to withdraw in Bucbanan's behalf at Gin
cinnati, and the loudest advocate Of h election.
II al NJ - a. q
President, is John C. Breckenridge, one Of the
most vehement and untirng supporters Of the
Nebraska bill in the last House, where he made
h m.elf conspicuous in bullying Members into its
support. Need We 60 On with the list Is it not
plain that the election Of Buchanan, so far from
right'Dg the wrongs committed by the Democratic
party through Pierce and his colleagues, will only
give that party new agent to continue the same
atrOcious policy
No: let no nan delude himself with the idea that
the election of this Ofice-seeker of forty years
standing can or will change the aspect OF affairs.
If such change is to be effected it mnst be, as
we have said by the choice either of An original,
devoted. unwaveriDg AMT. Slavery man--one who
has braved contumely odium and the loss of position
ard friends for the cause of Equal Rights aud
Human BrotherhoOd-Or else, if the People are
not yet sufficiently aroused and enlightened ~
choose such man, we must unite on can
didate whose character, career and history appeal
strongly to the general sympathies--whose life
has been replete with patriotic and perlious
acheyement-and who has sought the post OF dan
ger rather than the soft cushions Of place and tue
gilded saloons of diplomacy. The crisis demands
a man unfettered by cOmmttals, unObnoxious to
prjudices, and who possesses the talent, the hrnl-
LESS and til integrity to meet the crisis to prompt
justice TO Kansas, and put down the Nullfers and
Border Kuffians forever. To aspire to high station
is DO crime, though it sometimes leads even clear
sighted men astfay; but iii such times rs these
tines approaching to the emergency of rev.
olutiOn-tbe office must seek the right man,
and not he it. 1t is now for the People
to nominate and elect their own candidate.
Such a candidate is JOHN G. FREMONT. We
are well aware that there politicians and office
seekers to whom be- is no. acceptable; but there
is no name which can find such favor with the
masses. The popular declaration in his favor Is
most surprising for its dstincIness and unanlInty.
This depends not merely on the conviction of MS
remarkable fitness ror OH the fact that ne Is him
self a man of the People, sprung from the working
classes al preserving bis sympathies with them un-
impaired, but the belief that ne Is the strongest
candidate who can be brought forward. Besides, if
we are TO carry this election, il must be by Demo.
cratic votes, which an original and consistent Demo-
crat surest TO obtain These are the reasons which
point the public mind to Col Fremont as the Peo
pies candidate for the Presidency in opposition TO
the Slavedriyers, Nullifers and Border Rulians;
and while we shall earnestly support whOmsoeyer
may finally be fixed upon as the Republican stand
ard. bearer, we cannot conceal our conviction that
to adopt any other than Fremont will be to disre
gard the signs of the times and needlessly to i'm
peril the cause of Freedom and democratic govern
men., which to us is far dearer than any individual
who can be named.
We have frequently had occasion to remark
