have got up story ihst Col. Fremont owns some
slaves who are on plantation in Florida; and
though the story is rather apOcYphal, We think
those who circulate should be bound by it, 50 far
as to give US credit for our Nationality in nominating

We believe Col Fremont will prove q popular

seats in biz Catilet, Foreign Missions, Collector

five buLdred good places in his gift as Speaker
be might have filed them all without urging, from
Virginia alone. We will warrant Mr.. Fillmore
himself not TO refuse first class Mission, should
the county, through Col. Fremont, see fit to
replire his services in the diplomatic line. Gov
Hunt forcibly urged last year that there was
large, though quiet, conservative strength at the
South, disposed to do justice to the North with
regard to Kansas and the Nebraska Iniquity if it
only bad fair chance. The election of Col.
Fremont will afford the desired opportunity, and
We trust the result will prove our Ex-Governor q
true prophet. The reign Of terror over Free
Speech at the South approaches its end, and the
election Of Fremont will finish it.
Let The Commercial understand that we are Is
ready to receive votes from the South as from the
North and that believe our Platform entities us
to both. We do not inquire nor care which OF the
candidates we oppose are shareholders, or whether
any Of them are; We do not oppose Mr. Donelson
on account of his hundred negroes, nor even his
foolish boast of them; but because ne stands op-

Hence bis inference that our Southern brethren
would not submit to be gortrned by born Georgian

Extension of Slavery will be found equally mis-
taken.
