SIAvEaY IN NEBRAskA.-By the census re-
turns of Nebraska there are eleven slaves in the
territory. These slaves are held in counties
south Of Platte river. By what authority are
they helds There is no law protecting slave
holders in the territory. Or has it como to this,
that slavery is wherever the laws of the Union
are? Has that institution indeed become ma
tional? and is liberty confined within prescribed
limits to skulk under the protection Of local
laws? ~
The nationality Of slavery was one Of the ar
ticles Of the Cincinnati platform, and now that
thu. rotten concern is to be the plank and prin-
ciple Of the next administration, as it is and has
been, of the present, We may not wonder that
the .peculiar" has already made its insidious adj
vance into the territories, unbidden and unre-
strained. We must not wonder, since it goeth
whore, it lsteth, to see slavery in Nebraska,
and ere long in the other territories of the vest

MIR. FREMONT MAHoMEDAN. - We
learn on undOubted testimony that Mr. Ere
mont. the Republican candidate for the pre>i-
dency, is a Mahomedan. We bring this
charge at time when he il unlue>tionabv
proved TO he a Catholic and Protestant. -
The foundation for the charge is as follows.
substantla'ed 10y Christopher Carson, Esq. of
Texas. Upon arriving at the shores of the
Pacific, Mr.. Fremont got off from his horse.
and taking oil his boots and stockings. and
rolling up the legs Of his pants, said he would
90 in and wade. The bcarh. however, was
covered with muscles, whose sharp edges
were rather prominent. and Mr.. F.. turning
to Carson. said he wouldn't trample on them.
The inference rose instantly in Mr. CarSon's
mind that Mr.. Fremont was a mnSclc-man.
from the sympathy evinccd for ,ho~t. hivalves.
and on being asked if such was not the fact.
AS he sought another place in which 10 wade.
he winked his left eve, AS much As to say
" YES" This fat We think is enough tn in
duce all thinking people to vote for Mr.. Ere
mont or not. Just as they please, which we
would earnestly advise.

Of the citizens and men unde: arms were on

tieary was on qoard, they called him out
lie appeared on the guard and made them
speech of about ten minutes length, saying.
among other things. with qualifications at
tached, that he would enforce all the terrific
rial laws that were constitutional. The Gov
ernor then proceeded up the river. and land
cd at the fort, where he had an immediate
consultation with Gen. Smith. He stated his
intention to proceed to Lawrence in few
DAYS, without any more troops than would
suffice for body guard.
A statement coming through some released
prisoners from Lawrence, informs us that the
Free State men have under arms 1900 men
900 at Lawrence, 500 between Lawrence
and Leavenworth, and 400 between Law
renee and the pro-slavery camp at Bull
Creek. These forces are all under regular
military discipline, no man being allowed to
leave the army of bis own accord, as is the
case with the pro slavery army. These bod
les of Free State men have not the least idea
of attacking any Missouri towns, but are
merely determined to protect themselves a
gainst further outrages. They were in good
spirits and confident of success. On the
contrary, an informant of the Evening Ntms
says that 1.-THE Ala5amians, who are under
arms, are exceeding sick of the country, and
