New-York daily tribune., 1856-09-27

We have been anxious from the first rather to
temper than to increase the confidence of our
friends in the triumph Of Free Labor through the
election of Fremont and Dayton We have realized
that the battle we are now fighting against the
Slave Power is one for which the Country would
not naturally have been rpened for years, but
for the passage of the Nebraska act, and the con-
sesuent outrages in Kansas. To resist property
interest of Three Thousand Millions Of Dollars, in
an issue by which it calculates to add ten to twenty
per cent to the value of the property or to detractas
much therefrOm is to dare great odds in an age so
.ccpcd in wealth worship as the present. IT, then,
it should prove our fortune to be beaten III this
contest as We only can be beaten-that is, by q
clof, vote-while we should mourn the loss of
Kansas and the indignties, outrages and ruin to
which our Free-State brethren in that devoted re-
cion would inevitably be subjected we should
nevertheless Ieoicc in the faith that the domination
Of the Slavery Propaganda is rapidly approaching
its end.
We do not wish our readers to believe the cleo
ticn of Fremont fixed fact. We do not ourselves
beieve it, and should not desire TO difuse the i'm
preston if We did. We wish it generally under
stood that the struggle is arduous, and that the
result depends on work yet to be done. In spite Of
many cheering assurances, We consider the States OF
Pennsylvania New-Jersey, Indiana, Illinois and
California still doubtful. We may carry all of
them by large msjorlties, but We may also lose
enough OF them to beat us in the contest. We
consider our chance III the House, should the elec-
ticn go thither, of very little worth. We must
succeed, if at all, by the votes of the People; We
cannot count On single Slave State; and we must
either carry Pennsylvania, or, losing it, carry all
lie test Of The Free States. We strongly hope to
carry Pennsykania-we feel sure it can be carried
FOR fremont-but, If we were all TO stop working
now, and fall toshoutirg anticipated victory,
we should have no victory to huzza over. This
Is the naked truth, and the truth is just what
she uld be set forth and realized. Should We lose
lenIsy lvania We may possibly succeed without herr
ut that, like the choice of Fremont by the House,
is cnly chance. If we carry Pennsylvania, it is
barely possible that We shall fail To carry States
enough beside to give us the victory.
As TO our own State, about which some friends
st distance write us in anxious inquiry. we can
,ny say that, unless through a coalition Of the
Fillmore and Buchanan parties, We do not see how
il is 10 be considered or rendered doubtful. We
sppeal on this point to intelligent men Of all par.
ties who have recently passed through our State
and mingled intimately with her people. We be-
lie,e no one can have travelled eisurey through il
any direction within the last two months, with
ut meeting more supporters of Fremont than of
eth L.s rNsls. In II very few Counties-ulsteT.
