Republican vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1849-1857, 1856-10-18

Thus spoke the embryo king Richard the
Third of England, while wading to the throne
through oceans of the blood of his victims
The last and most effective art to which
the wicked and willy usurper resorted, to
regain the good feelings and enlist the sym
pathies of a deluded and abused people was,
to charge that q conspiracy had been formed
to take away hisiife. He succeeded in a
dark age-and crown rewarded his false
| hood
Since his day thistry of persecution, con-
spiracy and meditated assassination, has
been the trick Of tyrants and demagoguos to
acquire or to retain power, and therefore
Russia, ard France, and England, may well
be referred to by a corrupt press, to prove that
this policy of assassination and poison has
been attempted and practised repeatedly"
there. No doubt it has been much oftener
charged for ithe benefit of some lettering ty-
rant, than practised, even in those corrupt
and oppressed regions. But here, IN en-
| liglrtened, yirtuous, and Safeguarding A
merica, q candidate for the Presidency Of
! the United States must have fallen into de-
plorable circumstances, before he and such
INSCRIPTIONS partisans of his, as James Cor
don Rennott, could be driven to the expedi-
ent of publishing to the world that 'SFre-
mont is to be assassinated." Wherefore
If tie people of the United States have so
far forgotten their former glory, and their
/ future, as to elect such {. man as Fremont
to the highest Office in the gift of the nation,
what purpose Of imaginary good could his
death accomplish? lie is nothing mere
puppet in the hands of the enemies of the
Constitution without talent learning
StatesmanshiP, or military etlat to promote
his claims, only powerful-if powerful at
all-in virtue of the bad principles he repre-
sents-the like of whom-if he were buried
would spring up by thousands, like mush-
rooms from the same smoking beds of cor
ruptioh
No-Let the enemies of the Constitution
rest assured that Mr.. Fremont's worthless
life, is safe in any event from assassination
that his foes are the friends of the laws,
and of the Union, --Patriots who do rot
deal in poisoning, but who, If defeated, viii
know how to defend themselves against their
traitorous purposes more 7irtuously, more
wisely and more surely-than by aiming at
the life of SO insignificant q person as FIRE.

1t is passing strange, that any Southern
man should be found advocating the preten-
sions of such candidates. put forward
by bis friends, and whose election is sought
to be promoted by such reckless and ridieu-
lous falsohood. Nor is it less strange, that
Southern men should allow themselves to be
divided and distracted by another candidate,
Millard Fillmore--whose nomination was
permitted by the tree-soilers in convention
where they held controlling majority, for
no other assignable reason than that he
might divide and conqaor TIE South. The
leaders say this latter must be done to avoid
the appearance of seotionality. There can
be no sectionality in bad sense, where the
question is to sustain the Constitution. If
the South, when she had the power, had
determined to make Pennsylvania Slave
State, in spite Of herself, it would have been
just as wise fer Pennsylyanians to contend
that seme Of them must vote for that out
rage to avoid the appearance of sectienality.
Every question of sustaining the supremacy
of the Constitution and its compromises over
eeery sndiradual foot Of the Union, must
be national, while every assault on the
Constitutional right, no matter by how ma
ny made, is sectional in the worst sense.
But, to the Editorial Of the New York
Herald Of the 10th inst. Here it is: The
reader may imagine how the editor and his
wooly candidate must have chuckled over
the supposed gullibility Of the people, while
they were connecting it.
