A DEMOCRATIC B0LTER.-Mr. Hamlin, one
of the United States Senators from. the State
OF Maine, who is a Democrat, resigned his sit
uation as chairman of the Committee on Com
merce, on the 18th inst. He said for the nine
years he had held scat in the Senate, he had
almost been a silent member. Upon the sub
iect that had so much agitated the country, he
had rarely uttered a word. He loved his
country more than he loved any puty-morc
than anything that coEld agitate and disturb
its harmony. Although he believed the repeal
Of the Missouri Compromise was great moral
and political wrong, UuequalIed in the annals
of the legislation of this country, and unequals
cd in the history OF almost any country-still
with desire TO promote harmony, concord,
and brotherly feeling, he sat quietly amid all
the exciting debate which led to that fatal re-
consistent, steady and uniform vote-not only
in accordance with his own convictions. but in
accordance with the Instructions Of his Legis-
laturc, passed by almost a unanimous vote ;
but the thing was done in violation of the prin-
ciples of that party with whom he had always
acted, and in violation of the solemn pledges
of the President of the United States in his
inauguraladdress. Since, however, that wrong
had been indorsed by the Cincinnati Conyen-
tion in its consummation and its results, he
felt it his duty TO declare that he could no lon
ger maintain party associations with any party
that insisted upon such doctrines, and could
support no man for President who ayowed and
recognized these doctrines, and whatever pow
or God had endowed him with, it should be
used in the coming contest in opposition to
that party.
There are doubtlessly many more honest
thinking men who have heretofore voted with
the Democratic party, who, like Mr.. Hamlin,
cannot consistently support Buchanan, when
by so doing they would endorse the platform
adopted at Cincinnati, which sanctions the
Kansas-Nebraska act, and consequently the
repeal of the Missouri Compromise.

Non-slaveh oldins Population Of the sonth


Much Misrepresentation exists among us in
regard 70 the character of the population of
the Southern States. We are too much ac
customed to speak of the shareholders as the
'sSouth.'' In the following table, compiled
from the statistics of the last census. it will be
seen that at the present time, the whole ma
chinery of our Government is controlled and
the peace of the country immineutIy ieopare-
ed by 347 ,525 shareholders, and by a far less
number relatively during the sixty or seventy
years mp to this time. This fact should be Sc
riously pondeyed, not only by the people of
Free States, but especially by the other six
millions of whites, one-half at least of whom
are degraded quite as low as t he slaves, by the
abject condition to which q poor laborer is re-
duced, who strives to earn a support for his
family and prospective independence. by the
sweat of his own brow, side by side with the
slave. Did these millions of-pcor whites OF
the Stare States fully understand their real
condition, and their true interest, they would
be the last to uphold the schemes of the hand
ful of shareholders, who they have allowed to
be their masters just as emphatically as they
are the masters of the negro, with the single
reservation that they are not chattcl, and
they would, in one voice soy, Sirs. if You have
any battles to fight in extending negro slave
~, You must fight them yourself; we shall
fight only our own battles, but they will be for
white independence, which or present condi-
ton and future hopes convince US, can not be
for more human slavery. Talk to them .hus,
and the whole question will assume new
shape, the cardinal principles of which will be
conservation. They viii say, better hold fast
to that which we now have, than to risk all for
that which We may never obtain.
But to Southern statistics In the first col
umn of this table viii be found the whole num-
Der of Shareholders in each of the Southern
States; and in the last column is given the ag-
gregate white population Of each State. This
will show at once the proportion between the

the State.
In addition to the above, the following par

with interest: ''Casey, who murdered King,
was member of the Board of Supervisors,
and the editor of the Sunday Times. The at
tack Of the Vigilance Committee upon the jail
was made in military order, force of $500
armed men surrounded the prison with brass

all was ready for the assault, the committee
made formal demand on the Sheriff for tho
surrender of the Jail. The Sheriff was totally
Hnprepared, and surrendered Immediately and
the prisoners, Casey and Cora, were taken
by the committee and carried to their head-
quarters. As soon the death of King was
announced, the bells were tollcd, the stores
closed, all business suspended, and the fronts
of the buildings draped in mourning. Cora
and Casey were both tried before revolution

WHO is COL. ]. C. FREMONT

John Charles Fremont is, we believe, the
son of a French Hugenot, who fed from the
prosecutions to which that sect was subjected
IN his native land, and sought refuge in
South Carciins or Georgia, where he married.
and where John C.. was born in 1913. He is
consequently i3 years of age; but has life has
been so active and eventful, his fortunes so
varied and trying, that he may fairly be ac-
counted Older in practical experience than
mos, mep are at fifty. His family was poor.
but by energy and perseverance he has risen
from poverty and obscurity 10 consideration,
wealth and world wide renown. He was edu-
Gated in Charleston, after which he engaged
IN teaching mathematics. Subsequently he
obtained an appointment on the sloop- of-war
Satehez, ard Oh her made cruise of several
years. On his return home, he became = sur
veyor and railroad engineer, and was employ
ed in that capacity under Captain Williams,

He next accompanied Captain Williams in a
reconnaissance TO the country then occupied
by the Cherokees, after which he Joined NJ.

In May, 1872, he started out on the first of

In the spring of l845, he set ont on his third
expedition. II was while engaged in this ex-
pedition, that the war with Mexico commenc-
ed. He put himself in communication with
the naval commanders on the coast, and soon,
in conjunction with Commodore Stockton, OBJ
tanned complete possession of California, OF
which, on the 9th of August, he was appoin-
ted. by Stockton, Military Commander. The
Californians rose in insurrectfon, but the Arri-
val of General Kearney, with his dragons,
from New Mexico, enabled the Americans 10
maintain themselves in possession. Pending
these operations, a commission arrived forFre-
mont as Lieutenant Colonel. On the arrival
of General Kearney, dispute sprung up be-
tween him and Commodore Stockton as TO the
chief command. Kearney sought to throw
upon Fremont the responsibility of deciding
between their respective claims. This he de-
clined, and continued 10 obey the commander
under whom he had first placed himself
Kearney, when they had both reached Fort
Leavenworth, on their return home, arrested
Fremont for dsobedience Of orders and brought
him to trial before court martial. The Court
decided that Kearney was the rightful COM
mander, and found Fremont guilty of the char
ges, and sentenced him to be dismissed from
the service. Mr.. Polk, then President ,signed
the sentence as being technically right, but at
the same time, offered Fremont new commits
sion of the same grade rs that Of which he
had been deprived. This Fremont refused
and returned to private life.
Being thus out of the service of the army,
hc undertook q fourth Expedition of his own
and wended his way to California, where he
had become one of the earliest American pro-
prietors by the purchase during his former Wis

AN HONEST GERMAN SESrnfENT.-At there
publican Convention, Mr.. Dorcheimer, of Bui-
ialo, in speech said he had been in this coun-
try fortyS years, and was an American at heart,
although not by birth, nor was he member Of
the American Association. He believed, that
with all their secret societies, they would new
er hurt an honest man. There are thousands
upon thousands of Germans who think with
him, and indeed there are no opponents to the
principles OF the American organization, but
among the Irish Papists, and even these men,
would become much better citizens if it were
moi for the Satanic temptations of the Demo
cratic party.

THE LATE CONVENTIONS.

On the 18th inst, the Northern American
Convention met at New York, and after being
properly organized, nominated Hon. n. P.
Banks as their candidate for President, and
Hon. VIM. T. Johnston for Vice President.
After the appointment of committee to con-
fer with the Philadelphia convention, with
view of effectiug concert Of action, the Con-
vention adjourned to meet again on Thursday
following.
On the 18th, the Philadelphia Convention
assembled. 1t was one of the largest nomina-
ting bodies that ever convened in the United
States, nearly 600 delegates being in attend
ancc. Col. II. S. Lane, of Indiana, was cho-
sen as presiding officer. The platform Of
principles reported and adopted will be found
elsewhere in our columns. The balloting
commenced on the afternoon Of the 18th. On
an informal ballot then had, the vote stood =
Fremont 359 Mclean 1876, Banks 4, Seward f.
and Sumner 2. The name of Mclean was
then withdrawn, and the nomination Of Col.
Fremont declared unanimous. Hon. VIM. 7.
Dayton, of New Jersey, was nominated as the
candidate for Vice President. The utmost
good feeling marked the whole proceedings,
the greatest enthusiasm prevailed, and when
it was announced that Col. Fremont vas the
choice of the Convention, shouts and cheers
burst forth, and were continued for a consid-
cradle length of time.
In the meantime, Mr.. Banks sent q letter to
the New York Convention, declining to be
candidate, whereupon that body re-assembled
and also nominated Col. Fremont, holding on
the Vice Presidency.
There are now three prominent Presiden-
tisl tickets in the field, namely, the Buchanan
ticket, the Fillmore ticket, and the Fremont
ticket. So far concerns Buchanan, we are
of opinion that his election would be the worst
calamity that could we'll fall upon our country
at this time, and, therefore, we feel disposed
to lend cur aid to that candidate who will
stand the best chance of defeating him. His
prospects are none too bright; on the contra
ry we believe the opposition is amply strong
enough TO defeat him, and that they have votes
10 spare. All that is required to ensure sue
cess is concentration of the greater portion
of the forces of the candidates opposed
10 him. This being the case, the only ques-
tion that arises is, Who is the man upon whom
can unite So far as to secure his election +?
This question, the decision of which involves
a highly important result, should be we'll con
sIdered before any positive action is taken on
1t. For our own part. in consequence Of this
new phaze of the opposition, we reserve TO
ourselves the privilege Of selecting from "a
nong the candidates opposed to Buchanan the
one who we shall deem most likely to fulfil our
hopes OF success; merely mentioning the fact
that the nomination Of Fremont seems to be
Tery popular, having been everywhere rccciv-
ed with unmistakablc indications of delight
and satisfaction. We will have moro to say
this subject hereafter.

THE Independent Democrat, Concord, IN. .H.)
whose editor, George G. Fogg, Esq, was the
chief Secretary of the Kansas Investigating
Committee. as the result of two months pain
full experience in the Territory, says in
stead of the wrongs of the people of Kansas
having been exaggerated, the haLf of their
wrongs has never been told. And this, the
testimony taken by the Congressional Com
mission will concusive1y show. And yet, no
oral or written testimony can portray the
height and depth, the length and breadth of
the outrages perpetrated in that Territory un-
der the color of law, and by authority of men
who hold commissions under the President of
the United States. Including the Governor
Judges, Marshall, and Indian Agents, they are
engaged in one consolidated conspiracy, hav-
ing for its object the expulsion of every Free
settler from the Territory, and the establish
ment of Slavery therein, at all hazards, not
excepting civil war and dissolution of the
