George Law, Live Oak George, for long time the most prominent Know Nothing cand- date for the Presidency, and certainly second to none but Mir. Fillmore in the esteem of all "intense Americans" is now strongly support ing Fremont. His position is declared in let ter to G. A. Scroggs, of Buffalo. Of Fillmore (k. N.) George Law says:
 What has Mr. Fillmore ever done for this country or the American party? Where are his acts that are to be remembered or treasured up in the hearts of the people? What great interest has he ever. advanced? Or has he been mere office-hdder, without merit, ex- cept the merit of doing nothing?
 In another part of his letter, he says:
 "ln the letter to me you appear to lay great stress upon the course that the republican par ty has fit to pursue, and hbat t has not naet tue American party half a0ay in the great uork ot uniting tue ,ohole North against the corrupt poli- cy of the present administration and the pow CT that controls the Cincinnati nominee We will suppose that all this is true in relation to the republican party. l, myself, do not think the republican convention acted as wisely as it might have done, when the object was harmony of action to accomplish great good for the whole country; but Is this any reason why should be diverted from the great purpose I have at heart which is to unite all parties that think as do in relation to the corrupt policy of the present administration and the contiua- ton of that policy if MT. Buchanan should be elected No man, or set of men, whatever their conduct may be, shall divert me for one moment from the course I have marked out in the coming Presidential campaign.
 After eulogizing Wooley Horse Fremont, he says:
 "No, sir, of the candidates who are before the people for the exalted position of Chief Magistrate, prefer John c. Fremont

Facts for the PeOple.

The Know Nothings charge that Elias N Conway has done nothing for the State.
 Bv means of the suit of tue State against th, Rerl Est.ste Bank, which Gov. Conway has SC faithfully prosecuted he has caused ouer on, million dollars of the Jonds cf the State to De con- cellel and filed soih Me State Treasurer as full, paid od.
 Thus, during Gov. Conways official term he has diminished the debt of the State or account of the banks more than ONE MIL. LION OF DOLLARS. And let it be known too, that the good work is still going on. The debt is being diminished by large sum every month.
 All this has been brought about by the suit against the Real Estate Bank Under the trustees when State bond was redeemed it was frequently again sold by the bank. The trus- tees have been removed, and, now, when a State bond is redeemed, 1t is cancelled and filed n the State Treasury as fully paid off.

The Arkansas Banks.

As the editor of the Gazette, the organ of the Real Estate Bank, charges Gov. Conway with being the author of the Arkansas Banks. we call attention to the following extract from Gov. Conway's address to the people,"
 In June, 1852, when 1 was a candidate for the office of Governor, stated in my address to the peo- pie of this State what reiterate to defend inv self against interpretations. then asserted and now re assert that necer had any thing to do oit GnyW the hunks Cf haS stdte eather as stockh0lder dFectr or other gficer; did Iecer boayUo d0la, from dnyT Mea; ard ans not nOoC and neuer acas Sndsbted tO any bak. Being partial to hQrd naouev and not to banks Hare aN g tte auoaed and keSt entirely clear g hduiny any indicidual interest an or g1cidt control, 0f any bunk.
 If by bad management of the banks large debt now dishonors this state feel proud to know that had no dgeacyan the matter either directly indirect Iy Lbera, salaries were offered to induce to ac- cept of offices in these banks and whilst thankful to those who wished to secure my services and pay me more money for them than l could in any other way have made my sentiments of opposition to the banks not overcome, but remained as from the begin declined taking any office, in bank, however pro- ftable.
 Those who seek to make me responsible and hold me accountable for the opinions and acts of other men, however distinguished and patriotic they may have been, should remember that the people of Ar Ransas are too intelligent not to discriminate between the acts of ohers who favored the establishment 0f the banks and any aas in seeking to hace e hunks aCouud up and the debt of the state paid of the assets far as they will avail.

ne 1OllOWlnS Is letter ot Senator Ben]a- min, old line whig, of Louisiana, to the Phila- delphia fourth of July mass meeting:
 Washington, June 23, 1856. GENTLEMEN: Nothing, would have afforded me more pleasure than to be able to accept the invitation with which am honored in your favor of the 18th instant I regret, however, to say that an inflammation of the throat make es it impossible for me to use my voice, and I can scarcely hope for an entire recovery in time to address your meeting on the 4th prox.
 In crisis like the present, when all we hold dear is imperiled, when the constitution is set at naught, its compromises disregarded, and Washington's farewell advice to his country spurned by fanatics as old fogyism, surely no true patriot can hesitate as to his duty. In such emergencies to be lukewarm is to be treacherous.
 There exists now but one national party in our country. This fact is so pal pable, its proofs so overwhelming, that my charity cannot ex- tend so far as to admit the good faith of those veho pretend to doubt it. The factions which are now opposed to that party are two, so purely sectional that they do not even exist in name, still less in reality, beyond geographi- cal limits. No man say that the rcpubli- can party exists at all Ill fifteen of the States of the Union. No man can say that the South American, or the Fillmore party, exists at all in the other sixteen States.
 It Is then obvious that if the democratic party is defeated in the ensuing contest, it will only be by party in one section of the Union which shall succeed in overpowering another section, and we shall have for the first time il our history the spectacle, not of self-govern- ing nation, but of nation divided into two equal portions one governed by the other
 l am not one of those who believe our insti- tutions could permanently survive such trial and hence in my devotion to my country, have forgotten all past party ties, and go heart and soul for the success of the democratic, the truly national, the only national party now il existence.
 l should have been glad of an opportunity of developing these views at your meeting, but the cause already mentioned compels me tc forego the pleasure.
 am, with great respect, yours, etc,

 Mr. EDrToR-You will please publish my withdrawal from the American party, not that l believe Sam such a monster as some, nor is 1t because l glory in the name of democrat SO much as to support them merely because of the name, regardless of all other virtues.
 At the time joined the order, I believed as do now, that there was but little difference between the two old parties-that the whig party had acceded almost all the democratic party contended for and that party feeling was kept up by demagogues. Some of my friends induced me to believe this new party was con- sefvative, and gotten up for the purpose of electing men of merit, regardless of party.
 1 soon saw, or thought 1 saw, more dema- goguesm in this new party than 1 had ever seen in both the old ones, and so expressed myself to the members of the order; and as soon as 1 was permitted under the regulations Of the order, did it publicly. Not being pub- lie man, never having and never intending to ask for office, and knowing that the order did not look upon mo member I did not think 1t necessary to publish my withdrawal; but on more mature reflection, have some consc- entious scruples in voting against the regular nominees of the American party. without such public declaration J.
