the Black Republicans is emiuently fit for such
results all can readily perceive; the nomina-
ton is not for craftsmanship or for any quality
suited for the high position, is fact patent to
every eye.
The nominee himself engaged in gigantic
speculations advocated on most questionable
grounds, affiliated and associated with des-
perate recklessness in speculations, and nomi-
mated by the influence of men tainted with
scheems of every questionable variety.
This is the ticket offered to Northern men.
No principle avowed save only and except the
one Of confscation Of the Federal domain TO
the exclusive benefit of the Northern States
Its fag-its only fag-the black flag Of
slavery.
Will not the people of the North distrust the
fruits from such a tree? Can any good come
from this gamblers ticket?
Let prudent men look to what the Black
Republicans mean to do, not what they sag,
for with Heaven on their lips, they have hell
in their hearts.

to injustice and wrong by the appeals OF

Will you drive them from the Union to find

an equal she will remain in the Union as an

Union is safe, aud the Constitution and peace

The Black Republican papers, stung to the
quick by the truth and force of Mr.. Filmore's
charges against them of a reasonable sectona
nomination, pretend to misunderstood him.
He has said that this was the first time thai
an exclusive Northern nomination was made
both names on their ticket being Northern
men.
They instance, with pretended triumph, the
nomination of Adams and Rush, both Northern
men.
But Mr.. Fillmore was right, and these Black
Republicans know it.
The convention which nominated Adams
and Rush was represented by the whole South,
was nominated by the South equally as by the
North.
The South could with propriety expect to
partake of the administration in that case
The convention was not Northern conven
ton, called for the sole, the avowed sole pur
pose, of robbing the South of all participation
in the federal domain, and adopting such prin
ciples as would exclude all honorable Southern
men, and of course monopolizing for the North
the exclusive power of legislation, and of the
Executive government, under the influence
of principles of avowed deadly hostility to the
peace and welfare of the South.
Mr.. Fillmore well remarks, if the North be
so stepped in the blindness of passion as to
perpetrate the worst tyranny and usurpation on
the South, without the semblance of benz fit to
themselves, is it strange that the South
which will have such monstrous evils and in.
justice inflicted on them, should, on their part
seek safety by dissolution from a majority
which, without benefit to themselves, will thus
tyrannize and Cypress the minority.
If the North without just cause, will inaict
insufferable evil on the South, the South with
this just cause must very naturally withdraw
beyond the reach of such reckless and oppres
sive power and cast off what is made the yoke
Of the federal Union.
The North has no excuse for driving the
South to the wall. The South has great reason
it would have the law of necessity to recedt
from the coils of so fatal an Union. Let the
North view these thing in their true light
That they have no prongs to complain Of
That the South is struggling only TO pard
off The riolence Of aggression.
These two sentences show truly the attitude
of the North and of the South

Mr.. EDITOR: Some Of our friends at the
North lay great stress upon the fact that Col
Fremont has suffered long, and endured much
in his various trips to the Rocky mountains

been engaged, seem to be regarded as quite ne.
cessary qualifications for the Presidency. Now.

miles in eight days, upon eight different horses,
(by the way if he had performed the ride upon
one horse, it would have been. something for
the horse and that too because he was obliged
to do it, or disobey orders, all sink into the
shade, when compared with the contributions
given to man by Israel Comstock, commonly
known as the "Wheelbarrow man."
He is called the wheel.barrow man because
he undertook, without human aid, to wheel his
wheel-barrow, solitary and alone, across the
plains and through the gorges Of the Rocky
mountains to the mines of California; and HE
accomplished his wonderful fete. Now, we say
again, if powers of endurance are necessary

THE DEsPoTIsM OF BLACK RE-
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES LETTER
AND HIS PLATFORM

II is a subtle policy of error to give itself a
good name, and involve great authority to sus-
tain il. The sacred name Of Republcanism
has been adopted by the party of despotism,
and the great authority Of Washington and
Jefferson has been involved to sanction its
principles.
" You call me-" says Colonel Fremont ito
a high responsibility, by placing me In the van
Of great movement Of the people of the
United States, who, without regard to past
differences, are uniting in a common effort to
bring back the action Of the Federal Govern
ment to the principles Of Washington and
Jefferson"
The platform Of the Black Republicans,
which Colonel Fremont approves asserts the
right and duty Of Congress to forbid citizen
with his slave property to settle in the Terri
tory Of the States. 1t asserts that Kansas
should be admitted nor as free State, land

pretended constitution, adopted by conven-

and BY onIysuch Of the people Of Kansas, as out

stltuton should receive the sanction Of the
government whose laws its trainers have out.

have done SO in the teeth Of their declaration.

"The people will soon be made to believe
that all the false praises Of Fremont in his Cal
ifornia career are true, unless they are prompt
ly and surely exposed. Those brilliant services
his friends claim for him in California, are all
the purest bosh He never saw musket fred
in anger there during the whole war. He was
not in the country when the flag was hoisted.
De was in oregon. Even after he was over.
taken by Gillespie, it was only by strong urging
that be could be induced to retrace his steps
We had, in fact, entire possession Of Upper
California, when he returned to Monterey
Then Stockton sailed for San Diego, leaving
Fremont to raise battalion Of volunteers and
to march southwark. Now, be did march by
the longest and most circuitous trail he could
find, SO that be only arrived, like iackall to
kuaw the bones, after Stockton had beaten the
natives, or in other words, in their retreat they
fell in with and capitulated with Fremont.
Old Benton has done more to msrepresent that
war in California than any one else, and Of
course makes his son-in-law the hero.n
We assure our correspondent that we shall
take good care fully to expose the spurious
fame Of this man Of straw. In our next, we
shall open the batteries and by the blessing Of
God, will never hush them till the whole fabri-
cation is laid bare.

Taos, July IL, 1856,

Mr.. Editor: Permit us to introduce to your
notice, the name of Christopher Carson, esq.,,
(vulgarly known as Kit Carson;) as a suitable
one for the next Presidency; many people at the
North talk of voting for Col. Fremont, and use
as an argument in his favor his many hard
ships in the Rocky Mountains, his heroic suf.
ferings his scientific explorations, &C.; now, it is
true that the Colonel had his trials, and did suf
fer, and perhaps if exact justice had been done
him, he would have suffered more than he did.
But his tried friend and " companion du roy-
age" KIT Carson, suffered more than the Col
onel, because the Colonel was younger and
more active than Kit; now out of Difference to
the age Of the latter, we respectfully submit
that the Colonel should step aside, and give
the first chase to his old friend. His nomina
ton will be hailed with delight by the citizens
of this valley, without respect to party or color
