| sANornxK REcaurr.---Judge Doolittle, Of
WISCONSIN, one Of the ablest and most elo-
qusnt men in that state, and always q lead
inS and active Democrat, has written let
ter in which he announces himself for Free
mont and Dayton. lie does not regard him
self rs abandoning the Democracy. lie
thinks, on the contrary, that the Democracy
have abandoned the old landmarks, ind he
looks upon the organization Of the Repub-
lican party, now going on, as the re-organi-
cation of the Democratic Republican party,
as conscrvator Of the old foundation prin-
cples of the government and the genuine
Democracy. Hear him;
The people Of the on-slaveholding states
will see to it that no new representative in
either House Of Congress shall be chosen
who is not only fully and openly commit
ted agains. it, but who is a man of sufficient
integrity and moral courage, TO ego through
the furnace heated seven times hotter than it
9 wont to be heated, without the smell Of
fire upon his garments"
The ma ,rity in the house will never be rs
small as il now is. And before the expra-
ton OF his Presidential term, the very reac-
ton growing out OF the Infamous proceed
ings OF the border ruffians, done in the name
Of the people Of the South, will produce
such revolution Of public sentiment among
them Us 70 compel their Senators in Con-
gress to declare again what our forefathers
as well as their forefathers maintained, that
Slavery is the creation ,of the local law,
sectional not national, and ut NIL those ter
rtorics where white men can live and labor
shall never be devoted to cultivation BY the
hands Vi negro slaves. The election Of Mr..
Blair from Missouri speaks volumes upon
this subject. IL il, confess, with some de-
gree OF reluctance that am compelled to
leave so many political associates and warm
personal friends. But il am not altogeth.
err mstakea the separation will be very
brief Que. The masses of my democratic
friends Will find that the reorganization of
the democratic republican party is now going
on, and Will also find in John q. Fremont, a
true democratic republican president Of the
Jefferson and jackson school, who will nei-
Their BE- driven by men Of extreme impracti-
cable views ut the North, nor inundated by
the nuiiiiying slavery propagandists at the
South, but firm, conscientious, Union-lov-
ing representative OF young democratic re-
publican America, who will take high rank
among tho Presidents, and Of whom our
country and our whole country, every state
ana every territory, Fast and West, North
and Soath, and not the least among them oil
Georgia and South Carolina will have occa-
sion tu be proud.
