Fremont a slaveholde..

Senator HAMLIN, in resent speech at a
black republican meeting, remarked as fol-
lows:
when embarking on western tour, ne
fremont was asked if it IVES not his inten-
zion to purchase a slave, as domestic for his
wife. His reply was, Z never olcned one dol
lar in human flesh, and, while reason holds
its sway IN nay brain, NEVER WILL, I love
my wife with the most ardent affection, bur
that wife must toll witteher own hands.
rather than own the first dollar in human
flesh nn
The Springfield (Mass.l argus says it is a
pity to spoil this fine story and pretty (Bun-
eombe) speech; but the fact is that COL FRE-
MONT actually owned slaves within three
months of the time he was nomin ated, ifhe
does not at this moment.

OTThe Journal knew that their associa-
ton with negroes on Tuesday, and that the
appearance of number of darkies in their
procession on that day, would attract atten-
tion and be noted by the Sentinel, hence 1t
undertook to escape public condemnation OF
the act, by uttering the silly falsehood, that
the BUCHANAN men hired two negroes to
march in their ranks. There were far more
than two negroes in their midst, but they
pretend to account for only two, Try it
