the superiority over the other parties that
are prevalent
We have just finished reading an appeal
to the voters of Belmont county published
in your valuable paper, Nos. 49, & so enti-
tied The Republican Party-its policy &c.
We would cheerfully recommend it to all
persons who have not concluded on the way
on which they will cast their votes and not
only these but the followers of Ten cent
James" and Millard Fillmore who need en-
lightenment, such as the Republican party
can give, and such as is given in that appeal.
Let the friends of our country read it, and
mediate upon it and it can not fai, to make
hearts, and at the day of election, we will
see a mighty and glorious band of freemen
making their way to the ballot box there de-
posting their vote bearning the inscription
of Fremont, returning with the joyful shout.
ave have fought the good fight We have
kept the faith and victory is ours.'' This
will certainly be the result for constantlyae-.
cessions are being made to the glorious cause
of Freedom, Freemen and Fremont, and if
they still come in the same proportion that
they have been coming for the past two
months We will decidedly gain large and
heavy majority. Already has the Republi-
can cannon doomed forth in Iowa, Maine
and Vermont with a large majority in a
State Ticket over the opposing and factions
parties of Fillmore Buchanan.

What Mr.. Winthrop says of Ere
mont and DAYTON.

Hon. Robert G. Winthrop, in his speech
before the recent "Whig'' Convention o.
Mas sachusetis, said:
"For Mr.. Fremont | entertain nothing
but respect and esteem. Our seats were
next to each other during his brief term in
the United States Senate, and | was wit
ness to his intelligent and faithful service.
Our homes in Washington were within
biscuits throw of each other for much
longer period, and can bear the most cor
dial testimony to The attr actions and accom-
plishments of more than one beneath his
roof. His scientific attanments and eXplo-
rations have reflected the highest credit on
his country as well as on himself.
"For the gentleman associated with Col.
Fremont, as a candidate for the Vice Presi-
dency, cannot restrain still warmer ex-
preston of personal regard and friendship.
| have known him as a mess-mate for four
or five years in succession, We have con-
suited together and acted together during
many of the most exciting scenes of our
Congressional service, and if ever differed
frcm him upon any occasion, it was with an
unfeigned distrust of my own Judgment
We voted alike, | believe on almost every
question relating to the Compromiss of
$780, including the question of the Texas
Million and Texas boundary bill; and am
glad perceive that certain gentlemen, not
thoIsand miles off, have so far relaxed
the:- views as to find themselves able to sus-
tain the Republican candidate 70. the Vice
Presidency in a course of proceeding for
which they thought no condemnation of
myself too severe. Gentlemen, J can
truly say, that if any mere personal attach
menis were to govern nv course at the COM

Col. Fremont's Position.

The man must be prodigy who can re.
tain his manners and morals unGepraved by
such circumstances. (the commerce between
master. and slave) And with what EXE-
GRAFTON should the statesman be loaded
who permitted one-half the citizeps thus to
trample on the rights of the other, trans
forms those into despOrs, -"4 .l-e4o into on
emies, destroys the morals of one part, and
the amorpatria OF the other.-ThOmas JEFF
ferson.
1t is among my first wishes to see some
plan adopted by which Slavery in this
country may be abolished by law George
Washington.
Slavery is contrary to the laws of nations.
VIM. Writ
We should transmit to posterity our ab-
horrence of Slavery Patrick Henry.
Slavery is dark spot on the fare of the
nation.-Letayette.
We should march ur to the very verge Of
the Constitution, to destroy the traffic in
human flesh.-Franklin. .s
Slavery is most blighting curse upon
! the Old Dominion; and | know Of but one
way of getting rid of it--by Legislative
authority--and so far as my vote shall 90 fol
that purpose, it shall never be wanting.-
George Washington.
The freemen of the North have a deey
interest in keeping labor free, exclusively
free in the new Territories. 4
have made up my mind, for one, that undei
no circumstances uriH l consent TO the furthe
extension of the area Of sIaoery, in the Unite'
States, or in the further increase of slav
representation in the House Of Representa-
, tives.-Daniel Webster.
D Wherever there is a foot of land to b.
stayed backed from becoming slave Terri
: tory, am ready to assert the principle o
{ the exclusion Of slavery.-Daniel Webster
o Irepeat that never can and never Wi

me vote to spread slavery over Territor
} where it does not exist.-Henry Clay.

Te The Editor of the Belmont Chronicle:
The day on which the great political
topics of our country is fast being settled
is fast rolling on and it behooves every man
of Our country to choose a position on hich
he can exercise his right of suffrage unin-
fluenced by the party spirits that are now
agitating the people of our nation, and a
position on which he feels Our country can
peacefully rest. .....
We have before us three men as standard
bearers in the great principles of this day
and each competitors for the Presidential
chair and to whom shall we give our support!
Shall we give it the partisan associate
of Franklin Pierce, the abettor of the eX-
isting fearful dissensions! Shall we give
it to the author of the vilainous OstenJ
Manifesto James Buchanan! Or shall we
give it to Mllard Fillmore with his rotten,
corrupt, and vicious platform, which is sup
ported by band of dsunionists who are
contriving TO trSmple the poor foreigner of
o.hcr climes under their fee: and almost
Danish them from our land. But rather let
us march with steady firm step to the bal
lot box on the 4th of November& deposit our
vote for Fremont the man on whom we can
rely as the proper subject to be placed at
the helm of government the man who will
administer the laws ard regulations of our
nation in manner that will reflect credit
and honor to the mighty Republican party
that is NOW maintaining or will (maintaiu

known and adduced in evidence on the trial
thereof.
1t was not necessary 70 prove that Col.
Fremont never touched a farthing OF public
money, and appropriated it to his own use,
to those who know the man or studied his
history. But this testimony coming from
a source So hi gh-a rival candidate for the
Presidency, became part Of our counTy's
history. So well satisfied was Mr.. Buch-
anan with Col. Fremont's character for
honor and integrity THAT HE WOULD HAVE
PAID THE BILLS, had any appropriation been
made for the payment of them by Congress.
Thus day by day evidence accumulates to
justify the patriotic and noble character of
the Republican candidate for The Pres iden-
cy, and ont OF the mouths of his enemies
come forth praises and blessings s.
