United States.

Health to Mr.. Dallas and prosperity to the
great Republic to which he has the honor to
belong" The LORD MAYOR prefaced his toast
with speech full of generous sentiments to-
ward America. and expressed regret that any
question should arise between the two coun
tries threatening the dreadful alternative of war;
Mr.. DALLAS made felicitous reply, recipro
eating the generous sentiments of the Lord
Mayor, and assuring him that he was not au-
thorized to feel, and did not feel, any desire
other than that of giving his best energies and
exertions unreservedly to the restoration of the
most harmonious sentiments and friendly rela-
tons. Other speeches we're made, at the con-
clusion of which Mr.. Dallas gave: The Health
of the Lady Mayoress. The Lord Mayor re-
sponded, telling Mr.. Dallas that he was au-
thorized by that lady to say that if his diplo-
macy equaled his gallantry there could be no
fear as to the success of his mission"
HGA- Letter from the Hon. Daniel Mace, of
Indiana, in favor of Col. Fremont as the Black
Republican candidate for President. There is
no doubt of the fact we believe, that the Black
Republican Congressional Caucus have fixed
upon Col. Fremont, as their candidate for Presi-
dent, and Moses 81. Grnnell, of New York, for
Vice President. 1t is also understood that
George Law, Live Oak George,) is to be their
candidate for Governor of New York.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
April 20, 1856.
DEAR SIR ITO look at things here one way
the cause of republicanism seems gloomy-and
the other way cheering. If the old liners har-
monte at Cincinnati, (which now seems i'm
possible,) bring out good ticket, and our
friends make a failure at Philadelphia, all is
lost for the present. II, on the contrary, the
old liners nominate Pierce or Douglas, and we
the man, we will sweep the country.
Men of every shade of anti.savery sentiment
can unite on Fremont without the charge of
being inconsistent he has not participated
in any of the troubles existing between the
Know Nothings per Sc and the Republicans, per
sc. All can go for him. Again, all the Young
America of the country will go for him; and
further, he is a democrat. One Of your sagaci-
ty can readily see the points / make, and ap
preciate the bearings.
The strong currents here all favor Fremont
decidedly. In our next election for State Off
GERS and members of Congress, on the heels Of
the Presidential election, our success depends
exclusively on the strength of our Presidential
candidate, and not on the State or Congress
sional ticket So all must see the full force of
having the right man.
1t will never do to go into the contest and be
called upon to defend the acts and speeches of
old stagers. We must have position that will
enable us to be the charging party. Fremont
is the man for this operation. Col. Lane, Of
Kansas will be at your May convention, and
says he will visit Lafayette and make speech,
if invited. His whole heart is in the Kansas
free State movement. DAN. MACE.
