BUCHANAN AND FREMONT.

BUCHANAN AND FREMONT.
Il is singular to see how the circum-
stances in which men are placed affect
their opinions. In opposition to the
opinion now contained of Col. Fremont
by the leading BUCCANEERS, il is interest
ing 10 place that Of the Late James
Buchanan 10 1852, 4 years before the
transition from a man into platform.
Mr.. Buchanan was witness in sui,
pending IN England against Fremont
brought, on certain drafts drawn on the u
s. Government, for expenses incurred in
California. We would like TO publish
all the evidence but have room only for
the following extract. Mr.. Buchanan
was Secretary OF State a, the time OF the
transactions in California and ough. to
know if anybody does the truth about
the matter.
Q.--Do you know who was the per
son IN actual command Of the land fore
es of the Government of The Uni,ed
States in California in lS47, ard in the
month of March in that year.
A.--Col. Fremont, the defendant, was
ia California at the commencement OF
hostiIi,ies between the United States and
the Republic of Mexico; he there raised
and commanded battalion OF Califor-
MIA Volunteers, consisting Of abou, four
hundred men. His services acre rery
raiuabie, he bore conspicuous part in
The conquest OF California, and in my
opinion. IL better entitled 10 be called the

one month before the election, these

The TOombs' Bill.

There has been an crgan,Zed attempt
on the part Of the BUCCANEERS through
out this County, 10 delude the people
into the belief, that The Republican mem
bers Of Congress refused TO vote for the
repeal OF the Kansas Laws, by voting
againstihe Toombs Bill. This attempt,
by its misrepresentation and perversion
Of the truth, 10 about on a par with the
generality of their arguments. il is de-
vice which no man who is at the came
time both well informed and homes, would
resort to. The Toombs Bill which con-
,ained the clause repeating certain Of the
Kansas Laws, was Bill ,conirived in
such a manner tia, the Republicans be-
lieved il would render certain the en-
Iavement Of Kansas. Lieutenant Gov
ernor Roberts Of Kansas. who was well
acquainted with the condition Of things
there, after careful consideration of
the provisions Of the Bill earnestly ex
horled the Republican members Of the
House to vote against is. The Bill con.
tanned many odious provisions and twas
against these tina, the epublicnns voted
and no. as. the iwo.penny politicians
would have it, sgainst. the provision re-
pealing some of the Kansas laws.
But TO demonstrate how utterly child.
ish this plea 10, we have only to state
that the Republicans repeatedly endeav-
ored to have the laws repealed, and prop
positions introduced by them were voted
down by the Administration members OF
Congress.
We trus. the people are 20. so green
as to be deluded BY this sily story.

COL. F1fEmONT tlNDlCAIED.
We commence this week the publica-

Senators TO tie merit oil Col. Fremont.
We shall extend it as time and space
may permit.
No man was ever surrounded with
more difficult and trying circumstances,
or placed in position which called for
a greater amount Of energy, decision and
executive talent, than was Col. Fremont
in Califo, MIA, and Lo man ever passed
through a com biEation Of Universities
with brighter distinction than did he al
that time. No man ever established for
himself more fully the claim TO the title
Of talented, upright, noble and heroic
man. He called forth the plsudits Of all
as well of grave and dignifed Senators,
as of private citizens. With the excep-
ton of few malignant personal enc
mics, the verdict d his countrymen was
unanimous in his favor.
And now see to what lengths of abuse

"scurvy politicians of the day can 60

spoiIs. Not content with manufacture
Ing their scores OF lies about his religion.
