Look at Femonts colleague, UIlliom +. Johnston
Although he is the son of an honest, patriotic,
county Tyrone Irishman. be IS nevertheless,
shining light in the Know-Nothing temple. He
dcnounce the Dutch and Irish, with as much
vindictiveness as Ned Bgnline, and declahn
against tic Pope, with all the vehemcnce and BIT
teraess of Joe Barker. Independent of Ffemonts
nomination by the New York Convention, as con-
elusive evidence of his Know Nothing proclivi-
ties. yet if there ever was any doubt on the sub
ject it has been entirely removed by late letter
from George Lac; the head and front of that fac
ton in New York, in which he distinctly states,
that Fremont is better -4me,ican Know Moth
ing) than Fia@sore;-that Ire has done more to
aud that he, Law, will support Fremont, with all
she zeal snd energy in his power. This is an en-
doTsenent, not to be mistaken or misconstrued-
now, that the naturalized voters of the country,
have discovered the trcacbery, and are swelling
the ranks Of the buchanan column, fremont has
made iast and desperate efort, to conciliate the
90 rich Irish Jrogue" and "he s,ceet German
inserted the following new plank in she Know
Nothlng platform.
The New York Free Press, Fremont paper
of August 18th says:
'' Colonel Fremont has pledged to the Editor of
the Criminal Zeiung, his ssred irord. not TO sup
port, if elected, any attempt Of the federal egis-
latrre and not to approve of any resolution OF
the same, by which the term, for naturalization
of emigrants would be prolongated, and ernigra
ton molested or impaired in any way whatso-
ever"
Tie article in the Criminal Zeitt,,ag also Ere
mont journal, to which the Free Press refers, was
published in that paper on TIE 10th of August
and is as follows;
This solemn % irora Of Fremont. that he
would veto any bill. if elected, altering or pro-
longing the term of naturalization this dectdra-
tion IN regard TO the principles tchtch scorsld lead
him if elected. IN the treatment Of all resolutions
Of Ie Federal Legislature ptrporting 10 prolongate
the term Of naturalization, or TO mo{est IN any uay
emigration, render 1t more difficult, has nope
been girea to as.
In spite of timid advisers-~ho estimated less
the increased support OF Gerlnan-Americans,
which would grow out of this confession to
demands than the loss of votes from the natives
that might be caused by it-Mr. Fremont has
answered the questions put to him in that straight
and manly way which charactcriZes al his
tions.
and the record speaks for itself. We ask any
Know Nothing, how he can vote for Fremont, and
reconcile the above declaration, with his accep-
tance Of their nomination by the New York
vention. If Fremont, by any calamity should be
elected, either the Know-Nothiugs or the natur-
allied voters who support him, will be wofuly
cheated Who will be the dupe? It docs not
require the gift of prophecy, to answer the ques-
ton. Let German democracy beware, for it
is especially in their waters, that Fremont has
cast his political net. His assumed friendship
for them is only calculated to deceive it is but
promise to the ear, to be broken to the hope
Let them firmly stand by the man and tie party,
Buchanan and the National Democracy, who have
always recognized and supported their rights, and
who have not, at the eleventh hour, hypocrit-
cally professQd TO be their steadfast and devoted
friends.
