JUSTICE TO ALL-is the spirit which informs the
Constitution and makes up its life. Let the
Constitution be held inviolate, and let its great
purposes be realized. That sacred instrument
was formed and fashioned by those men of old,
whom God taught to build for glory and for
beauty; at their word it sprang like a new Gre
alton from the night of the Revolution, and the
shattered fragments of the Confederation; they
have finished their work, and gone down to their
rest, one by one, as stars go down in the quiet
skyl For their sake, let the Constitution stand
the monument of their wisdom, and the crown
ing glory of their lives; let the Constitution
stand for the sake of the millions who enjoy its
blessings, and are sheltered by its power; let
the Constitution stand for the sake of the sons
of Liberty in all lands, who utter prayers daily
for its preservation and fee to it for protection ;
and, oh ! let the Constitution stand for tae sake
of those who are to come after us-for the sake
of our children, and our children's children.
If the greatest of all earthly calamities must
come upon US; if that Constitution which our
fathers gave US must perish, and be forever lost
to human vision, amid the thick darkness which
broods over the awful gulf of national disunion
and national death, God grant that this sacred
charter of Freedom may fall at last, if fall it
must, amid the wild battle-cry in which it had
its origin-LIBERTY AND JUSTICE, THE NOBLEsT
RIGHT, THE sTERNEsr DUTY, OF MEN ANb NATIONS.

PROPOSED UNION OF THE REPUBLICANS
AND AMERICANS.

Nc1o York, July 8.-The true friends of FIRE.
mont in all sections, feeling that his election is
endangered by the intrigues on foot to defeat
him, are consulting upon the expediency of
calling Convention which will bring the
American and Republican parties together, fer
the purpose of selecting Union candidate for
the Vice Presidency, there being no doubt of
Fremonts acceptability to both.
At a caucus of Fremont's friends in Con.
gress, held in Washington, last night it was
thought best that Dayton and Johnston should
both withdraw in favor Of candidate accepta-
BILE to all parties.
For the sake of some honest people who
might be mised by such a report, we may
as well say that the paragraphs above are en-.
titled to no consideration. The ticket is not to
be changed. The true friends of Fremont, in
Congress and elsewhere, mediate no such
child's play, and know of no intrigues on foot
to defeat him that could be baf1ed by SO alb
surd . movement What is done is done.
Fremont and Dayton" is the Peoples tick
eff the People triumph, it will be under this
flag. 1t is true that in one or two States the
North Americans have run up the names of
Fremont and Johnston, but if as we believe,
they hold the Question of Freedom to Kansas
to be the overriding issue of this canvass, thew
will not, we are sure, persist in a course that
may elect Mr.. Buchanan, and will, beyond all
doubt, overwhelm them with odivm,
Suppose they persist and Buchanan be elect.
ed, what will they have done? Fastened Slavery
upon Kansas-perpetuated the power of the
Slavehclding Oligarchy--earned curses from a
disappointed People-spbieeted themselves to
crushing prescription, at the hands of an Ad-
1ninistration, just like that they now intensely
abhor. Let their candidate for the Vice Pres
idency generously withdraw-let them post.

vass be over-zlet them unite cordially and nm.

and the defeat of Mr.. Buchanan. its lepatee.
and they will have the consolation of knowing
that they have aided, effectually, in giving Free.
dom to Kansas, and Peace to the country,
through q movement which, recognising no
distinctions of Party, mas not an element of pro-
scription about it, and exacts from none of its
supporters any sacrifice of principle.
Let as unite. When sgch men as Thomas
F. Marshall, John Brough, and George Law,
recognise boldly the necessity of rescuine the
country from the counsels that have brought it to
the brink Of civil and foreign war, surely it is
no tipe for those who have been hitherto re-.
garded ~ sympathizing with movements for
the overthrow of the Slave Power, to divide on
minor questions, and put at hazard the inter.
ests OF great, nstional movement, in behalf

the Class Interest represented by Mr.. Buchsn-
an, as it was in ls547 Was it more danger
Gus to our internal peace and the existence
of our cherished Union" in 1854, than it is
in 1856? If the house was on fire then, it is
still in flames. No change has occurred in the
condition or relations of Cuba. 1t is still under
oppression. Our relations with it are still ex-
posed to interruption. For wrongs done us,
we still must still appeal to the Court of Mad
rid. There was no more danger of converting
Cuba into another St. Domingo in 1854, than
there is now. There was then no more serious
purpose entertained of Africanizing the island
than there is now. What ia the inference
That Mr.. Buchanan still holds the same views
he proclaimed in the Ostend Manifesto-views
so extreme and so glsringly inconsistent with
International Morality, that even this-Adminis-
tration rejected them.
Remember this, and add to it the fact, that
Mr.. Buchanan uniformly repudisted the policy
of resorting to arbitration for the adjustment
of the Central American controversy-a policy
which even this worrying, captious Administra-
ton has at last assented to-and then saw,
whether the country would feel its great conf
mercisl interests and its honor as safe in the
hands of James Buchanan as in those of a
man who, accepting the honorable protest Of
the Philadelphia Convention against the free
hooters argument of the Ostend Conference,
justly remarks, "that to provoke hostilities BY
unjust assumptions, would be to sacrifice tho
peace and character of the country, when all
its interests might be certainly secured and its
objects attained by just and healing counsels,
involving no loss of reputation"
The views presented by Colonel Fremont
on the great Question of domestic concern ara
brief, but comprehensive. The original inten-
ton of the fathers of the Republic to limit and
discourage Slavery is emphatically recognised,
and the nature, power, and Interior aims of the
Slave Power are clearly pointed out. With
out pledging himself to any particular line of
policy on the questions generally in controver-
sy between the Slave Power and its opponents,
aware that his preliminary declaration of con.
currence in the fundamental principles laid
down by the Philadelphia Convention must
satisfy all candid men, he does not hesitate to
commit himself boldly to the policy of admit.
ting Kansas as free State into the Union
with its Topeka Constitution, the only mode of
adjusting the controversy Immediately growing
out of the repeal of the Missouri Compromise,
which will fulfil the demands of good faith,
and satisfy the North, without violating or i'm
pairing single right of the South.
The tone of the letter is liberal and national,
evincing a proper regard for the Federal Con-
stitution, true devotion to the welfare of the
whole country, independent of all merely Sec
tional or class interests.

THE PASS OF THE SIERRA.

All night above their rocky bed
They saw the stars march slow;
The wild Sierra overhead.
Tho deserts death below
The Indian from his lodge OF bark,
The gray bear from his den,
Beyond their camp-hre's wall Of dark.
Glsred on the mountain men.
Sill upward turned with anxious strain,
Their leaders sleepless eye,
Where splinters OF the mountain chain
Stood black against the sky.
The night wsned slow: mt last. 2 ow.
A CLEAN Of sudden FIRE,
Shot up behind the walls Of snow,
And tipped each icy spire
Up mem" he cried; lyon rocky comb,
To-day, please God, well pass.
And look from Winters frozen home
On Summers flowers and grass
They SET their faces 10 the blast.
They trod III eternal snow,
And, faint, worn, bleeding hailed at last
The promised land below
Behind, they saw the snow-cloud tossed
BY many an icy horn;
Before. warm valleys wood embossed.
And green with vines aud corn
They left the Winter al their backs.
To flap his baffied wing.
Aud downward, with the catqract..
Leaped to the lap fspring
Strong leader OF that mountain band,
Another task remains,
To break from S.avery's desert land
Apath to Freedoms plains
The winds arc wild, the way 10 drear.
Yet, flashing through the night,
Lo! icy ridge and rocky spear
Blaze out in morning light.
Rise up, Fremont! and go before;
The Hour must have lis Man;
Put on the hunting shirt once more,
Aud lead in Freedoms van!

MORE NEWS FROM NICARAGUA.

The election in Nicaragua took place on the
Gath ulimo. The official returns were not fully
completed but there was ne doubt about Walk.
er's election by an overwhelming majority. His
army was receiving strong reinforcements, and
now numbers 1900 strong, with two artillery
companies and ive8eld-pieces. President Rifvas,
accompanied by bis Secretaries of State and
Var and the Minister of Public Credit, had fed
to Leon and Chinanasga, and had taken an op-
posing attitude toward the Walker party. The
III N'cdroguense attributes the movement to
the fear OF the external enemies of the State
and of tho approaching election. Walker had
lsgusd decree, appointing Don Ferrar Provi-
aional President until the election, and de-
ctaring ell acts of Rivas after his desertiou
void, and cautioning the citizens to refuse ODE
dience, as all such would be considered traitors
TO the country. Rivas and bis Cabinet were az

having left the place. He is charged with
having invited enemies of the country to invade
Nicaragua. The latest papers are to the 28th-

STOP THAT BALL.

A paragraph is appearing in a good many
Buchanan papers, credited to the National
Era, in which calculation is gone into to
show how many Northern States are to go for
Buchanan. The National Era never contained
any such paragraph. Neither the editor nor
any of his correspondents ever made any such
calculation. So far from it, we think Fremont's
chances are good for carrying all the free States
except California.

A
In late speech at Richmond, Gov.
Wise paid his respects to Hon. John
M. Bolts as follows:
81 undertake to say to this agitator
and disturber of our peace and unity
among ourselves, that there is May
or, is this city, Commonwealth at.
torney, and aGrand Jury, and he had
better look to the clauses of the penal
statutes, of the code of Virginia, which
imposes fine and Imprisonment for the
offence Of speaking, writing or publish
ing matter tending to impair the value
of property in slaves. Draw up the
indictment--summon venire-rcad
the statutes-introduce the offensive
Wilmot Proviso speech made years ago
in Powhatan, believe; and his speech
made here few weeks ago in the At
rican church, fit rostrum forts black
republicanism. Give both in evidence
to prove his confessions and the quo
amino of guilt or innocence; and if he
could not be convicted, it would be be-
cause he would avail himself of some
technical and formal defence"
Mr.. Bolts makes the following poin-
ted reply to the above.
"NIr. Wise forgetting so far his high
office calls me traitor, when he knew
that the question of my pardon, if con
victed, might PREJUDICE the case. He
has the boldness to denounce, but lacks
the courage to do what he calson the
Mayor Of the city to do for him-ar-
rest me. As if had committed trca-
son against the Common Councils of
Richmond! lie forgets it his business
to arrest me for treason-that he is IL
able to be impeached for neglect of du-
ty-his sworn solemn duty. Yet he
feels at liberty to play the braggart,
dishonoring his office, and fomenting
discord by writing letters, to Forney-
| it was Forney, believe-that the c.
lection of Fremont would be the cause
for dissolution of the Union. Well, Mr..
Mayor, | am at your service All l
ask is that Scott and Wise shall prose
cute me and | shall have the privilege
OF defending myself" ..
The Governor having also intimatcd
that Mr.. Bolts was ready to accept Of,
fee under Fremont if elected, he thus
replied:
"Well, may safely defy any NOR
tai man to point to an instance in which
L have ever proved traitor to my par
ty or my country. [ presume there
are none in this audience who have for
gotten the time when his Excclloncy
and myself were both subjected to
temptation. John Tyler shook the
"thlrty pieces of silver" at me, and /
shook my fist in his face;-he shook
them at Mr.. Wise and lie pocketed the
reward, bartered his principles, and
6etrayed tile party Mat had trusted
him"
The man to "head' Bolts, is not yet
created.
