VoTE ON THE GOLDEN ERA.-B. F. Hoyt,
Esq, informs us that ayote for President
was taken on the Golden Era, between St.
Paul and Red Wing, going down lastweek,
which resulted as follows: s.s
: - rt-Fremont, as.
Buchanan, IS.
Fillmore, sTs S.
That's about the general run up this way.
FREMoNr's rFE.-Ticknor & Co., of Bos-
ton, have sold $1,000 copies Of Upham,s
"Life of Fremont" and have unsuppied OF
ders for five thousand more. They calculate
on the sale of 100000 copies in the course tof
the campaign, 4And this, too, of rs cent
book. All the stean-presses of'the North
are enlisted in the Republican battle. The
Tract Societies may as well shut up shop. :
o. Gov. Wise, Of Virginia, has written
letter giving his reasons for supporting Bu-
chanan. It is that Mr.. Buchanan is con-
sistent Slavery A!Extensionist. He adduces
various facts to prove it, and states that if
Mr.. Buchahan's policy had been carried out,
California would now be'a Shave State; and
adds, - ha ~,
The cost of not running that line to the
Pacific may be valued thus to Virginia.
We now get thousand dollars for sound
slave we should then have gotten from
three to- five thousand dollars for an opera-
tive in the gold mines of California -four
hundred thousand multiplied by five thous-
and, or even three thousand, will show our
immense loss. One billion Of dollars would
not compensate Virginia for her loss. u
We hope Gov. Wise's letter will have due
circulation among the Democracy. The fund
to which all "Postmasters are requested to
contribute" might be used to scatter few.
