Like the friends Of Mr.. Fillmore, who argue
that if Fremont is elected we shall all have to
bow the knee to the Pope, because be was married
by Father Horsely, the organ of the democratic
party, and especially its central organ, the
Washington Union, are busily engaged in proving
that Fremont's election cannot help but dissolve
The Union. In a fine burst of defamation the
Lrion represents Col. Fremont as having already
"repudiated fifteen States as unworthy Of polti-
cal association -. blotted out from the national
banner fifteen of its glorious stars p" run up
flagstaff with that banner mutilated and rent in
twain,n &C., &c. The meaning Of all this rub
bish is that Fremont, if elected, would be in the
hands of the men who have declared their aver
sion to the continuance of the Union.
Now, these men ought to be pretty fair judges
Of their OWL views and their own friends. What
do they say of Fremont? Listen to William
Lloyd Garrison, who, as the Chairman of the
late Abolitionist Convention, declared he would
have nothing to do with the republicans, because
That party it's fealty to the Unon come what may
What does propose to do in regard to slavery in the Dis
rct OF Columbian Nothing. What as touching the aboi

cept to submit to ii all, endorse II ALL and shout, "Our
glorious Unon-n must aud shall be preserved p The
republican party has only geographical aversion V
slavery Its morality on that subject is bounded oy ~
deg. 81 min. north latitude. II is complexiona party,
exclusively Tor white men-not for all men, white or
black.
Listen to Wendell Phillips, who " thinks the
republican party an absurdity -" sees no merits
in Fremont ~" has great hopes that Buchanan
will be elected and Fremont defeated" who
says
Ny fault with the republican party is that is Of
defence. The liberty party the defensive, the
free soil party the defensive the republican party
the defensve and each Of them has been driven
back back bacs until the republican party has no
thing acknowledging but the slavery spirit OF the
days Of Washington and Jefferson Fremont V great
discoverer know he has scaled the tops Of the Rocky
Mountains and fahomed the bottom OF the Western val
eys but defy him TO discover the slavery spirit Of
Washngton's and Jenerson's administrations They want
carry the country back TO the policy OF the nrst two
administrations of the government They were both OF
them broad gigantic steps towards the triumph OF the
power at the present day The very first page Of
the history OF the government Is compromise, ant the
second is The Fugitive Slave law OF washngon's ad
mnistration ana with Jefferson we come the
ton Of unmeasured slave territory and the admission Of
slave States.
All these men and their comPeers prefer the
success of Buchanan to that Of Fremont, simply
because they sagaciously oresee that the election
OF the latter would throw damper on the dis
unonist agitation; whereas the election of the
former would aggravate that agitation and ne
cessarily lead to reaction. Indeed the coinci-
dence between these aholtionists and the seces-
sionists of the South, in preference for Mr.. Blu
chanan over Mr.. Fremont, is 20 marked that in
many circles Mr.. Buchanan is already identified
az the disunonist candidate-the patron Of seces-
sion in the South, and the favorer, by uncon-
scious implication, of Northern abolition in New
England. On all sides, on the contrary, where
Fremonts name has been mentioned by disnter-
estod persons, his attachment to the Union has
been generally noticed; and it has, in fact, as we
have shown above, alienated the support of a
large class of persons in the North who were GER
tain to vote for the candidate that was least IA
vorable to slavery.
The old talk about disunion IL all threadbare
nonsense. II is not so easy matter to dissolve
the Union as people suppose. Southern poll
ticans will 60 great lengths in the way Of talk
ing; but when il comes to action, we doubt whe-
ther any single State, not excluding South Caro-
lima would put the general government to the
expense Of keeping her in the Union by force.
Happily, nobody but few old women will be
likely to believe what the Union says on the sub
jeet of Fremont's disunionist tendencies and II
they did, they win soon be convinced of their
error We see Fremont election ticket in Ken
lucky; others are about to be started in Mary
land and other Middle States; and we doubt not.
before November comes, we shall see Fremont
running like torrent in all the Southern States.

to differ from our neighbor, the Tribune, on al
most every possible topic of discussion. Happi-
