Another Great Rally of Freemen!
FREMONT, Aug, 6, 1856.
EDITORS PIONEER Il had the pleasure
this day, with the many thousands col
lected here, to witness one of the Grand
Demonstrations in favor of Fremont and
Freedom.
More than forty yesrs have passed
since, at this place, the British invaders
of our country were made to quail before
the only gun in possession of Col. Crog-
han and his little band of brave soldiers
in defence of Fort Stephenson, and no
doubt the thunder tones of that same gnn,
with the shouts of the thousands upon
thousands of the freemen of Ohio assem-
bled here this day, again struck terror to
the hearts Of the desponding advocates Of
those invaders, who seek to establish sza.
uery in the fair territory of Kansas, and,
If possible, to " "subdue - the .f-eemen oil
the North.
Y,
it has never before been my good fortune
to witness; and to try to give descrip-
ton of it in the small space which must
necessarily be allowed to ask, would be
vain. Allow me to say, however, for
the encouragement of your many read
ers, and lovers of the cause of freedom
that professions, miles IN length, early
this morning began to pour into this place
until every avenue and street was, literal
ly, mass of living, moving human be-
ings I have heard the number, by per
sons who have before seen such gather
ings, and who are said to be good judges
estimated at forty thousand. My own
opinion was that it exceeded twenty thou
sand At all events, there was enough
to show that the hearts of the free sons
of Ohio are aroused in view of the awfu
calamities which seem to cvershadow us
The signs of the times indeed seem to be
ominous, and if mistake not, the voice
of Freedom Will sweep over this great
and mighty State in November next not
unlike those great and m ghty ayalanches
which thunder down the Alpine slopes
From four stands (three English and
one German) able and eloquent speakers
addressed, not thousands, but acres oi
people, while shout after shout from the
mighty mass, in response to the noble
sentiments uttered, rose far above the
tones of the laundering cannon which
shook the neighboring hill, Old Seneca
was here with her thousands, and "Good
for 1000 majority" inscribed upon her
banners Why should it not be thus
Ere homes in the West alone should pro-
duce such result.
Can not little Wyandot, with the pro.
per effort, tell of her hundreds Let hel
try.
The merry and cheerful hosts have
just closed the performances by mos'
beautiful torchlight procession, and Ere
mont is herself again, with another proud
day added to her cherished name. To
day it must have been Fremont and

and again, that he has bought George
Law and intends to buy every inhuen-
tial poor man, including Astor and the
RothschilGs.
MORE OF IT. The same class of pa
pers one week charge Fremont with be-
ing an out-and -out abolitionist, and the
next will swear vehemently that he owns
"a plantation we'll stocked with negroes
in South Carolina.

i made Slavery has all and we have

none
The Administration of Franklin Pierce
made and intensified all this, with all the
resultant troubles in Kansas, and the
Democratic Platform sustains him, and
Mr.. Buchanan is no longer himself, but
that platform, including every plank of it..
Without claiming to be anything but PRO-
SLAVERY, the Democracy honestly sus
tain their candidate on that question:
Let them do it. If successful, slavery
will then be the RULE made so not igno-
rantly-and freedom the EXCEPTION
But can we say as much for the sup
porters of Fillmore, and as much to THEIR
CREDIT? Let us see. Here they profess
to be nti-slavery-men, too, who voted
for SALMON P. CHASE last fall For
COOPER X. WATSON, alsoi and directly
on that issue, too ! and they now are the
men who say that WE have forsaken our
principles. Uyaalyul friends of free
dom How dare they noac, in this hour
Of peril, turn about and cast their votes
for man who boasts of his WEALTH in
HUMAN FLESH ?-whose overseer's S
lash is not spared on the backs of his poor
chohel property? Deny it if you dare
Do you not vote for the American Elec-
tors Are they not bound, if elected, to
vote for Fillmore and DONELSON? .
Deserted our principles! Did you say
so?
No! with FREEMEN BOLD, in Fifty Five,
We fought the battle through;
And if spared, and al alive.
November next will FIND US TRUE
Every man, it is true, can enjoy his
own opinion; but he is ever held RESPONSE
bic for his acts. We enjoy our opinions,
and when we see the enemies of our pros
perity and happiness inuading and assail-
ing our rights, we will not, HuH-hke, SUR
RENDER, but armed with Truth, and the
breast plate of righteousness, we will not
cry aloud, 90, save the Union |" but
we will say the Union shall be saved, and
freedom shall prevail And although
one may say, "We will subdue you, u

submit to be governed by sectional ChieI
Magistrate, still we say in the language
of OUR standard bearer, in his letter oil

Iowa, the only free child of the Mis-

Two years ago, Iowa led the van OF free
dom--now she again rebukes, in thun-
der tones, the traitors who are seeking
to fasten the chains of slavery upon hei
near neighbor, Kansas.
The returns thus far received from the
State election on the 9th, show that Iowa

in the State will not be less than 1900

both, members of Congress maj ority

Buchanan'S Age,
LOUIS!! |!

Considerable difference of opinion (says
an exchange) has been expressed with
reference to the age of Mr.. Buchanan
We are now able to give the exact num-
Der Of years he las been an inhabi ant OF
this world, and we certainly think he has
had experience enough to make him a
great man. If he has failed, he cannot
plead youth, or want of opportunities
We copy the following from tie address
of the Democratic State Central Commit.
tee of Pennsylvania, the object of which
is to remove all doubts as to the age o.
the "Favorite Son.
"Thirty five years of distinguished
services 10 his country in the Nationa
Councils; thirty five years unsullied by
single mistake; thirty five years of al
most constant association with the emf
nent patriots of other days; thirty FIVE
years of championship of the Conslitu
tion--render him peculiarly the candi
date for the coming struggle
We find from the above figures the agt
of the old gentleman to be exactly 14(
years. He certainly must be very ven
cradle old man, and his gray hairs ano
years should be respected, but we arr
compelled to think, that when persons ap
proach so near the other world as the ad
dress of the Committee makes Mr.. Blu
chanan, that it is very wrong for him t,
permit his thoughts to dwell on earthl,
