On the 18th Of July another protocol makes
its appearance, emanating from our Ex-Governor,
Washington Hunt, who, haying refused ThnrloST,
Weed the exclusive control of his official slate
and baplked in the traces, was dropped by the
Al6s~u wire lilo. ."''""s Rnt the occasion is too
"'oi''oie 70 DC passed by; 50 the Ex-Governor
also addresses himself TO .ne thoughtful idan'
at Dobbs, hts ferry His letter announces the
opinion that lie wigs are not all dead yet They
must vo''. for Enck, or Fillmore or Fremont, be-
caas| there is no one else to vote for The first
= ripe statesman, but cannot be got off his plat
fo.m. Fillmore is the man for the occasion.
Fremont will not do, for in his case it is putting
sixteen states against fifteen (Which is MAORI
ty and not sar TO the other candidates.. But
even II Col. Fremont, says Mr.. Hunt were "more
certain than he is, We should still counsel to-
gether, for il is very wrong thing for the North
to give President to the whole country! We
mus. confess we did not expect the Ex-Governor
10 sion such cognovit for Fremont, nor to make
thiscuious remark about the impopriety Of a Pre-
sidents coming from the North. We believe we
have had at least i've Presidents from The North,
and it was thought no crime either. But the ex-
Governor hopes notwithstanding lie knows no
party that he will be able to carry himself like
gentleman, and we have no doubt he will dc so.
Mr.. ]. \. Hamilton, nlso gent Yemen al of
the olden time,'' responds courteously ON the oath
Of July. He informs slri Hunt Of q memorable
speech made by his father 20 Mr.. Boyd, while
riding IN wagon with him in the country.
Boyd" said no, 10 break the Uaien would
break my heart and we wish to hcaEen there
were more WHO were as truly patriotic. The point
| Of VI. Hamiltons letter is in contfa6icting the
| sayings Of 1Ir. Webster AMI Mr.. Depton, who in
| 1850 contended that tue measures CT that year
settled the question Of slavery on every foot OF

otherwise, without giving any reasons for so think

1 Missouri compromise upscts NJ. Madison, says
! the Kansas business was :. southern arrangement,
but tla.t Il will yet be free. Nevertheless, we
must stick to the compromises Of the Consttu-
ton; iog the niggers Of the So,.th are Ear better

srisiis from the vasty deep: but win they come?
| The next Richmond in the field is Mr.
Senate Pearce, Of Maryland. who writes
to some friend in the country that he, too,
has his enbarrassments, and that there
are % many difficulties ahead he hardly
| knows what 10 do. He. however, takes one sen

chance whatever, and tie real struggle is between
| Buci man and Fremont. lie cannot charge all
lie friends Of the latter with aboltionsm hu.
he Genounces Greeley Seward, Chase, &c. as
