IHE RELGIouS ELEMENT ~ TUE CoMNG Re-
voLuTloN.--The religious element in the
present contest between the supporters Of Mr..
Fremont on one side, and Mr.. Buchanan on
the other. is one of the most significant facts
Of the day. The protest of the three thou
sand New England clergymen against the
course of Mr., Douglas in the Senate three
years ago, was a considerable fact in its way,
hut the two great organs of Christianity and
political morality on the question of the pre-
sent day, are the press and the churches, and
not so much the pauper parsons. The rell-
glous press of this city alone issues two hun
dred thousand sheets per week, and with the
exception of some ten or twelve thousand,
the whole Of this vast influence is against the
atrocious and wicked policy of the admins
trotion, the democracy, and its nominee, in
relation to the forcing Of slavery uponkan-
sas at the point OF the bayonet. The power
OF the religious press in all the free States is
/ immense, and il has been most active during
the past three years in preparing the minds
/ OF the members of the churches, of all de-
nominations
The other organ is found in the church or
/ ganiZatiDn Of the various sects There are
i'm the free States some four or five thousand
churches belonging to the Protestant and
Catholic organizations. They have probably
/ I'VE millions Ut communlcants, of which num-
her at least a million and a half are voters
! This vast force, actuatod by religious motives
| on the Kansas question is coming out against
/ buchanan and the administration as it never
did before 1t is great element, which Las
never yet been thoroughly awakened in any
| political contes, in this country.
/ Hence, therefore, in these facts We fud a

recent elections in Iowa, Vermont and Maine
| There must be somewhat else beside mere

was all very proper, because tho delegates
went there for that purpose They blamed
the National administration for the calami-

flame which now threatens to wrap our

to elect Millard Fillmore to the presidency.
Whatever troubles exist, ga restoration of
the Fillmore Presidency will be the surcst

One thing about that convention. With
all its claims to nationality and its horror of
geographical parties, it mustered delegates
from only 81 States. The people of two
southern States, South Carolina and Texas
did not trouble their heads about it. Michl-
gan, Iowa and Wisconsin had something else
to attend to; Maine, New Hampshire, Con-
nccticut and Rhode Island anL even Tcr-
mont seemed to consider the concern as no
go. At any ratio nobody would 20 to it from

The Springfield Republican has an article
on the present position of the Press through
out the country on the Presidential question:
from which 1t appears, that of 100 political
papers in the different states of the Union,
339, with combined circulation of 702. .Gj2
copies, are for Fremont, 900 for Buchanan,
with a circulation Of $50 400 copies, and l2j
for Fillmore, with 1851 copies. In the free
states, subject like the other figures to the
correction on all sides, of later dates, and with
the advantage everywhere for Fremont, the
number of Fremont papers Is $50, with a cir
culation Of GGG, $50; Buchanan l73-circula-
tion 326 ,9l4; Fillmore IS papers-circulaton
96.2l0. OF the six New York evening journals
there are three in the interest Of Fremont, two
in that Of Fillmore, and only one for Buchanan.
The Chicago Tribune gives classification of
the papers published in Illinois, by which it
appears that of Isl papers, Fremont has -
Buchanan 81, Fillmore |. and the remaining
2S are neutral Fremont clear majority over
all, :. OF the sixteen German papers pub
lishuj in the state Of New \ ork, l2 are for
Fremont with a circulation Of - 800 copies,
for Buchanan with a circulation Of lG,5OO
copies, and one neutral
1t is also noteworthy fact that the
hitherto neutral and Independent press, and
almost universally at the North the religious
press, either declares openly for Fremont. or
shows its procivlties towards the cause he
represents in less positive, though hardly
less influential form.
These are significant facts, and of them
selves, convey lesson which will tell upon
the fortune Of the campaign.

A Voice from a Slave State.

A paper called the DcIdrarc Free Press,
has been started in Wilmington, Delaware,
to advocate the cause of Fremont and Free
dom. The editors announce their unaltora-
bic purpose d" to vindcate the interests Of
free labor Their paper shall serve no
tcmrori2ing policy, no party whose doctrines
are not openly avowed-thc same every
where 1t advocates the election of JouN
G. FREMONT and WM. L. DAYTON to the Pres
idency and Vice Presidency, "because we ap-
prove the doctrines to which they are pledg-
ed, and because we have no reason to doubt
that, if they are elected they will sacredly
observe their Pledges
In former years. Delaware spoke strongly
against the extension of slavery. In 1920 by
joint resolution of the Senate and House they
COMMUNICATED to Congress that in their opin-
ion it is the constitutional right of the
United States in Congress assemblies TO enact
and establish as one Of the conditions for the
admission Of new State into the Union, n
provision winch shall cffectually prevent the
further introduction Of slavery into such
States and that due regard to the true in
tcrests Of such State, us well to the Other
States, requires that the same should be
done"
In 1915, they passed resolution against
slavery extension, " as manifested in the an
nexation of Texas, as hostile to the spirit Of
the Declaration of independence, unworthy

And not only have they abstained from aid

by their private influence they have en-

From the Boston Journal I


KANSAS. We have published full details of
the process by which the city of Leayenworth
was purified Of the presence Of FreeState men.
but we believe that the cause OF this move
ment has not been mentioned. The muuici pal
election was to take place on Monday. On
Saturday night a gang of men, headed by q
man in the employ of tie federal government
came into town, and ordered the Free State
ticket 70 be withdrawn, on pain Of death to
any man who persisted in keeping his name
upon any other than the " border " ticket
The Free State ticket was accordingly with
drawn. On Sunday evening the border gang
rode through the town, preceded by trump
eter, who proclaimed aloud that every man
who did rot fall into the ranks would be held
as an enemy. After having terrified into their
ranks all they could, the whole were drawn
up in line ust outside the town, and the cap
tain Of a company, & man named Clark, dis
tIihuted tickets to all of them, remarking that
that was the ticket thai must be carried to the
polls on pain Of the fate which would await
any traitor 10 the cause. Then the soldiers
rode back INTO town, and Phillips was shot
and all Free state men compelled TO fee or
were sent down TO St Louis by the boat On
Monday the election was held, and NOT a Free
State r0fc iCdS cast. Several Free State men
attempted to vote, and got mobbed During
all this time there was large force of United
States troops in Fort Leavenworth not mile
from the town, but they afforded no protec-
ton to the people, but few days after, when
rumor was circulated that Lane men were
coming against the town, Gen. Smith threw in
four companies Of troops - afford protection
