Letters revealing the existence of Fremont
party at the South are becoming numerous in
the Northern papers. Verbal intelligence to
the same effect is furnished by Southern gentle
men travelling North. Here is case of the
latter kind mentioned by the Cincinnati Com
apercidl:
An intelligent gentleman from Mississippi
has for some days past been in this city, who
is warm Fremonter, manifesting an interest
in the election that would warm the bosoms
and stiffen the upper lips of some of the faint
hearted of the North. He says that the men
of the South who favor Fremont are numerous,
but that they dare not make an organized move
ment, to give force to their sentimental, as the
dominant opinion is fendishly intolerant. He
mentioned that he knew, personally, one gentle
man in Mississippi, very wealthy citizen, and
the owner of 200 slaves, who is an open and ar
dent advocate of the election of Fremont his
wealth and social position protecting him in
the enjoyment of freedom of speech-giving
him the especial privilege of talking as he pleas
ed"
1t is gratifying to find so many Shareholders
sympathizing in the great Northern movement.
The natural conclusion seems to be, that the
politicians of the South have been for many
years past steadily misrepresenting its interests
and feelings. The planters and other slavehold-
Representatives in Congress, and, being gener-
ally persons of intelligence and shrewdness, they
perceive that they have nothing to gain, but q
great deal to lose, by pushing the North to ex-
tremities. Moreover, they have no such admit
ration for Slavery as some of their Northern
and Southern champions. Nothing but the
terrorism of politicians and mobs prevents the
organization of numerous and highly respect
able Fremont party in all the Southern States.
1t is humiliating to think that, in this boosted
land of Liberty, free white men are denied all
the rights of freemen, and cannot even vote for
the candidate of their choice.

Richmond Enquirer sound the charge; and,
above all, will the popular heart of the South
respond? Virginia dare not, for her western
counties hold those of the east in check.
Maryland pin not, for disloyalty is word not
to be found in her political vocabulary. AS a
border slave State, Maryland has suffered more
largely from the aggressions of Abolitionists
than any of her Southern sisters; bat these
grievances, serious as they are, soould be agra
rated tenfold by a dissolution Of the Union.
The respect which a large majority of the peo-
pie of the North now have for the Compromises
incorporated into the Federal compact, restrain
them at this time from countenancing any
active interference with that species of proper
ty in the Southern States, the secure possession
of which is guaranteed by the Fugitive Slave
Law, and reafirmed still more firmly by the
Compromises of 1850 but let the Constitution
be once abrogated, and who shall say to what
consider themselves bound by the obligations
it imposes %

The Senate of the United States, the great
obstacle to the success of the recent movement
for the publication and reform of the National
Government, will exhibit a more encouraging
aspect in the Congress which will cooperate
with the administration of President Fremont.
The healthful process of thinning cut has al.
ready begun to tell upon the ranks Of the Blu.
chsnan party in that body, and will soon prac-
tically destroy its predominance.
In consequence of vacancies, theSenate now
consists of fftynine members, who according
to their Presidential predictions, ,tand thus

State Cow ention In Kansas.

The "Free State men" of Kansas, or more
literally speaking, the agitators and fanatics,
held Convention at Big SpinGs, on the 18th
inst, and nominated A. III. Reeder, as dele
gate to Congress. They will again go through
the farce of holding an election, in which
Reeder will receive the unanimous vote.
Upon the strength of his election, without
form or warrant of law, he will proceed to
Washington at the meeting of Congress, and
again contest the seat of Whitfield, whe was
returned at the regular election in October
We may, therefore, expect another re-hash
of the "Kansas Budget" from the first inva-
sion of the missouri Rufians' down to the
last official act of Gov. Geary in maintaining
law and order in the Territory. The Black
Republicans may. not be able to get up an
other Investigating Committee, as we are not
aware that any pretense of fraud is set up in
the election of Whitfield. But the appear
ance of Reeder in the House with his cleo
ton papers, will afford them sufficient excuse
to stave off the practical and legitimate bust
ness of Congress, and consume the session in
wrangling about slavery and its twin sister in
evil "Squatter Sovereignty"
With the assurance that the fourth of March
next will dawn upon the downfall of Black
Republicanism in the House of Representa-
tives, the country will be prepared to bear
with comparative patience its ignominious
reign for q few brief months.
