COL. FREMoNT's LETTER OF AC-
CEPTANCE.-THE ISSUE OF u
MON OR DlsUNIoN MADE UP.
Colonel Fremont is now up for the
Presidential race, and sets out on the
novel experiment Of riding two horses at
the same time. He has some celebrity
as an equestrian, and he will have still
more if he succeeds in his present feat
His acceptance of the North American
nomination appeared some days ago
That required but little time to arrange,
but the response to the abolition Union
sliders who met at Philadelphia required
more care and circunspection. A more
ingenious specimen of demagogueiam was
never concocted by those master spirits
of sectional agitation, Messrs. Seward
Greedy, and Blair. OF course Colonel
Fremont is made to endorse the princi-
| pies Of the abolition convention which
nominated him.
In regard to our foreign policy, Col.
Fremont assumes that there is a party in
this country which maintains the doc
trino that it is right to take whatever
new territory we may want by resort to
force, and he very emphatically repudi-
ates such doctrine as inconsistent with
national honor. If there is any point in
this portion of the letter, it was intended
to insinuate that Mr.. Buchanan put forth
this doctrine in the Ostend document. -
Such is the application of the letter made
by the New York Evening Post. The
answer TO it is, that Colonel Fremont has
grossly perverted and misrepresented the
doctrine of that document. II contains
no such sentiment, but the doctrine which
it does announce is one which no one
who values the preservation of our gov
ernment as the highest. duty of every
citizen, can either deny or controvert.
That doctrine is, that when our govern
ment is satisfied that our own self-preser-
Walton makes it necessary to acquire Gu
ba to avoid our own destruction as a ma
ton, we have the right, and it will be
our duty, to save our existence by buy
ing the island if we can, and if this can
not be done, then by resorting to force.
1t would not be expected that candi-
date for the Presidency, whose principles
lead unavoidably to the destruction of
the Union, would approve a doctrine
which rests upon the deepest devotion to
Its perpetuity. 1t was, therefore, meet
and proper for the candidate of party
which ignores one half of the confedera-
cy, to pledge himself that, if the Union
could not be saved from dissolution ex-
cept by taking and annexing territory
identified by its location and institutions
with the ignored section, he would soon
er let the Union 90 than resort to the
first law Of nature-tbe law of self-prc-
servation. Fortunately, the Democrats
have a candidate who stands upon the
doctrine that ''the federal Union must
be preserved" and who has a heart that
embraces in its throbs the South as well
as the North.
The other subject on which Col. Ere
mont avows his cordial concurrence with
the abolition convention is in regard to
the slavery question. That convention
Lays down the doctrine that neither Con-
gress, nor the territorial legislatures, nor
individuals, nor associations Of indiyidu-
ais, can give legal existence to slavery
within our Territories so long as the CON
stltution lasts. 1t follows from this doc
trinc that slavery cannot exist constitu-
'tlonally anywhere within the United
States except where it existed yhen the
constitution was formed. We have the
same constitution now that we had when
Florida, Louisiana and Texas were ac-
CURED; and hence, upon Col. Fremont's
principle. slavery has no valid existence
in these States formed from those Terri
tories. The same doctrine leads to the
conclusion that slavery cannot have q
legal existence in Kansas. whether the
people there will it or not; and hence
the only suggestion he has to make for
the settlement Of the Kansas question 4 /
the admission Of the Territory as a free
State. Col. Fremont, therefore, stands
upon the ground that there cannot and
shall not be any additional States admit
ted into the Union which tolerate slave
ry. He stands pledged by bis letter 70
carry out this principle in the event Of
