Perverted and erroneous statements of Col FIRE.
mOnt's position toward one of the elements in the
proposed union of the Free States against the Pro-
Slavery party, have been induStriously circulated
over the country by his opponents. These state
meDts are entirely unauthorized and altogether UNI
true. COL Fremont IT cognizes no American orAuti-
American party, Wbig, Democrat, Aboitionst,
native or foreign, in this CANVASS; but simply
union Of the people, Of all psrtes on terms of per-
feet equality, to secure freedom and justice for
Kansas to overthrow the party and policy Of the Adj
ninistrstiop and by arresting the spirit Of Slvery
ext. nsion and national domination, TO put stop TO
the sectional sgitation that jeOpards the peace of
the country and destroys lite dearest and best inter-
ests. In no other light does he desire to be re-
garded by convert ions Of parties or assemblages Of
the people. AS an instrument to such ends does
he alone give authority for the use Of his name in
connection with the Presidency.

We print with especial satisfaction this morning
the correspondence between ChiefJustice Horn
BLOWER of New-Jersey and Judge MLEAN Of the
Supreme Court This emphatic concurrence Of
two eminent and experienced jurists, whom the
Country recognizes as by genius and conviction
conservative in all their instincts and habits Of
thought, in urging the immediate admission of
Kansas under her Free State Constitution will be
hailed with gladness by earnest advocates of I'm
partial Freedom throughout the land, and will
awaken hope in the breasts Of thousands that the
fragrant wrongs and most unmerited sufferings of
the Free settlers of Kansas are drawing to close.
The simple admission of Kansas, as proposed by
Gov. SEWARD, would put al end to the state of
anarchy, terror and civil war which now prevails
there, and secure the instant restoration Of peace
order, and prosperity. On behalf of those who.
being very much in earnest, are stigmatized as
radical on this subject we thank both Mes.rs.
Ilornblower and NJ Lean for this timely and noble
correspondence.
We have not supported Judge NJ Lean for Pres-
dent, though We have at all times avOwed our
readiness to do SO most heartily in case of his
nomination at Philadelphia. As to his abilities, his
services and his high moral worth, we have never
hesiiat,d to bear cheerful testimony and we have
no patience with tie suggestions which are whis
Pered from this side or that, that Judge NJ or any
other Of the Statesmen proposed for the Republican
Presidential nomination, is I" not reliable" or
might deceive us if elected. The Republican
party bias well defined principles and purposes Of
which its candidates are not likely to be ignorant
To suspect or insi0uate that those candidates will
be seer tly hostile to those principles and adverse
10 those purposes, is to suspect them OF treach-
cry and knavery which would disgrace a common
swihder The contest in which we are now en-
barking is Of character too grave and momenton'
to be decided by juggle. II buchanan is elected
it is the Cincinnati platform which triumPh', and
LOT an individual. So with the Republican party
aud iis candidates, whoever they may be. The
triumph of either party Will be the triumph Of is
distinctive principles matter by whose hands its
standard may be borne.

We publish in another column the appeal of the
Kansas Committee, lately appointed at the Taber.
nacle, for additional contributions ia aid Of the
persesuted and suffering Free-State settlers. The
Committee have resolved, and We think wisely, to
cOnfne their labors to relieving the present and
prospective distress caused among the Free-State
people by the inrOads Of their enemies. No doubt
that unless help is furnished many of the former will
be reduced to state bordering on starvation before
Winter sets in, owing to their having been prevented
from getting in the crops in which, 10 the natural
course of things, they must depend for food. To
meet this exigency the New-York Committee pro.
pose to devote themselves, and we are confident
that their simple appeal will be generously re-
sponded to by the benevolent citizens of New-York
and the interior. Other places will contribute
funds to increase the number of Freemen ia Kan
sas, and to put them in position to maintain their
ground against every Illegal attack; but our effort
is to be to help those already there, and already
tried in the struggle against oppression AMI ia~ie"
violence.
As n slight evidence of the spirit among the
people, We copy here letter received oy one Oh

We have many letters from San Francisco detail.
ing snd commenting on the recent tragiesl occur
renee in that city and the practical revolution
which has resulted therefrom. A majority Of these
letters take ground against the Lynch-lsw rule
which hss been inaugurated, and complain bitterly
OF the subseryiency Of the press thereto and the
popular deipotism to which it is subjected. Other
correspondents Justify The rule Of the (secre) Com.
mit,ee Of Safety as wholesome and imperatively
necessary, in view Of the utter generalization Of
tie constituted authorities and the ncuraole cor.
ruption of tie judiciary. Il is conceded on all
hsr d. that so far, the rule Of the Vigilance Com
miltee hss 10, been abused 70 subserve personal
epds. Here Is az extract from one OF our letters
which most .,renuousy deprecs.e. and condemns
the dangerous rule of secret committee:
thus far, there has been destruction OF either
life or property; and where else in the world would
two thousand men be under arms, with ioadef muskets
nd fixed bayoDets, and yet no one be injured either

We feryenty trust that this state of things may
not be protracted. Should it be- personal interests
AID enmities will creep in aud the little foyer Of
the Vigilance Committee will be found thicker than
he lOns Of the legal and regular, though corrupted
administration Of Justice. We trust the next ar.
rival will assure US that whatever is except NAL
and illegal in the state Of things produced or
brought to head by Kings murder, has passed
away, ard that, the atmosphere having been puri
fed, the supremacy of law has been rest )red.

The celebrated DR.. S.ringfellow Of the Missouri
and Kansas border has come on to Washington to
eniehxn the Executive and Congress with regard
to the State of things in Kansas. The Telegraph
reports him as follows:
"WAsHrSeroy SATURDAY, June IL, 1885
"Dr Strngfeow arrived here to-day direc' from
Kansas. He says the reports from there are greatly
exaggerated; that, before he lef the FreeSate men,
who were the principal agtators, were leaving in large
numbers, and that peace and quiet would very soon
be re stored He says. further that there had been
some disturbances in which q few persons had been
killed, but that the reports of fierce conflicts, in which
large parties engaged on each side, utterly
untrue. He comes here on business, and viii remain
but short time. He called on the President and
narrated to him the existing state Of things there.
Dr. SriDgfelow Is Of opinion that they will settle their
difficulties provided they keep out the out:dess
who the moment they come into the Territory inyar-
ably create an excitement"
The Doctor seems to have a very clear idea of
the Border-Rufhan mode of settling the difficulties
in Kansas. II the FreeState men are fleeing for their
lives, before beembodied hosts of Slavery, and the
latter can continue, with the help of Pierce, JEFF.
Davis and Harvey, to keep out the outsiders, it
seems q very clear case that all will soon be as
quiet there as Senator Butler or Congressman
Brooks could desire. At this moment, every Free
State press in or near the Territory is slenced and
it's owners ruined by mob violence; the Free State
leaders are either in close jail on a charge Of
treason or are fugitves in distant States, aud the
acts of the bogus Legislature are recognized and
ipforced ss valid laws of Kansas by Gov. Shannon,
backed by Federal bayonets and Carolina revovers.
"Order reigns in Warsaw" and there will soon be
nobody there to create an excitement" String.
fellows recipe for curing the troubles is followed.
When the FreeState men are completely crushed
out We shall have perfect calm in Kansas, for
Or. Stringfelow & Co. will have transformed it
into model slave plantation with chance Of max.
Ing others vest and south Of it indefinitely. But
they have not quite succeeded in keeping out the
outsiders" yet.
