The Position, PERSONAL AND POLITICAL, OF
JOHN C. FREMoNT-We consider that no candi-
date for the Presidency since the establishment
Of our government has ever occupied more re
markable position than John G. Fremont at the
present time. The fortitude and selfcommand
which he has evinced during the canvass are
almost unexampled in the history Of our great
men, Many-whom the nation delights to honor
CLAY, Jackson, Gen. Scott-under less severe
pressure than COL Fremont has had to sustain,
gave way, and gave the people practical evil
dence that they could not command themselves.
Yet how small their provocation compared to
Fremonts Assuredly no man wasever 50 much
abused in this country as this man. He has been
called liar, perjurer, a traitor, defaulter, a
dishonest runaway, a brawler, a coward, blum
derer; he has been attacked in bis faith in his
morals in his character in his past history in his
present circumstances; even his parents have
been dug out Of their grave to insult and villify
him through them.
Under this unexampled torrent of provocation,
Col Fremont has not once lost his self command
Not line has he answered to the slanderers; no
ign have had they that he knew Of their exist
ence; till creatures like the Brookses and the
McMasters have gone crazy with rage at not even
getting kicked, and foamed dioticaly into letters
which Fremont reads with smile.
Such quality is precisely the requisite for
President. 1t is the rarest, the most valuable,
and at the same time the most essential of all
qualities.

Speech OF Speaker Banks In Philadelphia.

PHffADuFHA, Oct. ., lSoo
Speaker Banks addressed very large assemblage In
Independence square this afternoon, the invitation o.
many Of the merchants Of this city. He reviewed the
various questions which enter into this Presidential
vass and attributed the hostility between the two
tons Of the country mainly the quacks and empires OF
the democratic party In 1885, He conasted the present
state Of affairs with that which existed from the time o.
the establishment OF the constitution down 10 1850 He
alluded 10 the fact that neen States OF the Union
Northern would be permitted 10 address the people
Of the republican candidate, and that ci
zen Of Virginia (Mr. Botts) menaced with indict-
men for because he dared express his opinions
frankly; and referring 10 Gov wises opproorous ausou
Col. Fremont he spoke Of him the ruan Governor
OF Fremont atrocous and beasty. He discussed the
Kansas Nebraska question, and declared that the only
remedy for the evil 10 reimpart, In some form
other strength and force to the Missouri compromise
he contrasted the proposition Of Thos. Jefferson 10
draw line running north and south between the Misss-
sipp and the Ksnswba river In Virginia. and thus forx
seventeen free ssaes with that supported by Mr. Blu
chanan in $780, extend the Missouri line 10 the Pacific
and thus give the best portion OF California up TO slavery
He also denounced the osend manifesto but would say
nothing derseatory TO Mr. Buchanan, except that he
had no will Of his own aud that n be tboueh3

force slavery upon Kansas by ballot stufing and
doctrine of the public robbery of our neighbors'
territories when we want them-the rampant
treason Of these democratic buccaneers, as deyel-
oped in their brutalities at Washington, and in
their threats of secession, dsunion and civil war
have done their work, and the people have risen
in judgment against them. The moral sense of
the people has been alarmed-the religious in
stincts of the whole community of this Union
have been outraged-the patriotic convictions
Of independent men have been awakened, and the
result is this simultaneous, spontaneous and
overwhelming revolution for Fremont, the Union,
the Constitution, white mems rights, and the dis
persion Of the unclean birds who have fattened
upon the Treasury while they have brought the
country into disgrace.
A week after these October elections in Penn
sylvania, Ohio and Indiana we may expect to see
the Fremont movement boldly breaking ground
in the South 1t wanted but single bold and
prominent Southern man to strike this monster of
Southern disunion, in order to fell him to the
ground Mr.. Bolts has proved himself that man.
He has given the blow-he has foored the blus-
tering monster and the coast is clear in the South
for larger exercise of the constitutional rights
of free speech and freedom of opinion. Persecu-
ton creates heroes and revolutions. 1t has made
hero of Mr. Bolts, as the champion of popular
rights in Virginia against that local democratic
terrorism Of lynch law and disunion; and the
people will yet reward him when this Fremont
revolution shall have secured the peoples rights
These Northern October elections will enlarge
the area of white mems liberty in the South, and
a fortnight afterwards we may expect to see
Fremont electoral ticket and Fremont public
meetings peaceably organized and rapidly
strengthening in every Southern State.
Let these reflections strengthen the hands of
the Fremont men of Pennsylvania, Ohio and In
diana, and their October elections win settle the
question for November.

THE Cry Know NOTHINGs AND Republican,
Both these factions have been holding their pre-
liminary ward meetings for the purpose Of or
ganizing the conventions which are to nominate
their candidates for the several municipal offices.
The Know Nothings in almost all their ward
meetings have adopted strong and elOquently
worded resolutions in favor of prescribing all the
candidates who do not agree with them-putting
down all the Roman Catholics, kicking all the
Irish out Of the country, and making all
the Germans hewers of wood and drawers
Of water forever. The Know Nothings con-
tinue to denoupce in the most violent man
ner the Pope, the Jesuits, Archbishop Hughes,
and all the other powers Of the Catholic
church. The republican faction, on the other
hand affect great liberality to foreigners, and al
low any one to believe in any religion that he
likes I'D are bitterly hostile to the prescription
or persecution of any class of citizens native or
foreign. Yet we learn that the management of
these opposite political factions are thrown into
the hands of the same old political brokers' who
sale in order to improve the chances of some can
didates for local Offices, and thus secure the
spols The truth is that the leaders Of both these
factions are great humbugs. They will violate
the sentiments and sell out the principles sup
ported by the rank and file at the primary meet
ings, without the slightest hesitation. We shall
see between now and election day some strange
bargains between these opposite organizations
with utterly hostile principles
