A SANDER Refuted - Assurance
Doubly Sure.

From the Philadelphia Daily Timesl
We have already alluded to the late cal
umry upon Col. Fremont, published by The
Washington Union, the p. P.nnsylraniQn, the
Philadelphia Erening Journal, and such
like Slavery Extension presses. Every man
of ordinary sense and information knew that
the story, SO grcedily hashed up by these
presses, was ridiculous falsehood; but here
is The amplcst possible proof that these
Pro-Slavery partisans have overreaced them
selves little further than is usual even for
them. Subjuined is letter from Charles
Gibbons, Esq, and Isaac Newton, the
gentleman referred to in the cllumuv of
the Union, the PennsylrQnian, and the Eue-
ming Journal. Will these papers have the
common fairness and decency to acknowl-
ed thei error!
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. %, 1856.
DEAR SIR: The Washington Union OF
the 27tk inst, contains the following arti-
Gle:
at will be recollected that soon after the
October election in Pennsylvania, consid-
cradle curio,ity was evinced as t. ihe where
abouts Of Col. Fremont, who, tbcut thai
time, suddenly and mysteriousiy disapueare
5rcn the public gaze-at least i,om the
public and private gaze of his ie ilow citizens
OF New York. We have il ir,m the mos,
unguestionable authority that the BI;ck Re-
publican candidate for the Presidency dis
appeared mysteriously from Nav York, 10
appear as mysteriously in Philrde pha; and
that for several days, between the I4th OIL
October and the LIST of November. he re-
mained incoo. in the house of Mr.. Isaac r.
Davis, in the last named city; and further.
more, that while an inmate of Mr.. d. yis's
house, he Lad one, if not several interviews
with Mr. Isaac Newton. who resid, in Del |
aware county, Pennsylvania, and who at
that time was candidate for Presidential
elector on the Fillmore ticket. During these
interviews, Col. Fremont made use Of the
strongest per:On:! appeals and the most dis
honorable propositions, with the view ofl
seducing Mr.. Newton into his support, ard
thereby TO teiray the trust reposed in MIR. |
N. by lis political associates, but without,
success. For the truth of this statement
we refer, although not auth orzed so 20 do,
10 Mr.. Newton himself. He is almost as
well known 10 the citizens Of Washington |
as he is 10 the citizens of PHILADELPHIA, and
all who enjoy the pleasure of his acquain-
ancs, will cheerfully bear testimony to his
Character as q gentleman of the s,rctest
onor and ve-acity.
'Decency and morality must be at the
very lowest in the Black Republican party,
when its candidate for the Presidency could
stoop SO low as 10 seek political enemy in
disguise for the purpose of wheedling him
into betrayal of his trust by the employ
ment of means which honest, honorable
men would spurn with scorn and ind gna-
tion. When the quintuple alliance were
raising the cry of fraud and corruption about
the election in Philadelphia, tbs out charity
10 suppose that they knew not how much
their candidate was implicated in the dis
honest and disreputable practices which they
falsely attributed TO Democrats"
invite your attention to this article for
she purpose Of inq"iring whether any inter-
view took place, as is alleged, between you
and Col. Fremont. / do this the more
readily because the writer of the article as
