Republican vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1849-1857, 1856-09-20
RottS. NY. Herald, Fremont.

The speech of j. NJ. Bolts, delivered in
Richmond, in August last, before the Know
Nothings and Wings of that city, made its
appearance in the n Y. Herald on the 18th
inst. This Black Republican speech, deliv-
cred in the metropolis of Virginia, by the
bold and reckless leader of the Know-Noth-
ing and Wing parties of Virginia, is herald
ed in display of large capitals, and with a.
flourish of trumpets, before the Fremont
party of the North, as the evidence of
REVOLUTION IN THE SENTIMENT Of the
South. Tue Herald declares that it ''wILL
BE \ VALUABLE ELEeTIoNEERISG DOCUMENT
FOR FREMosT.' That sthere are many weak
backed people at the North-and particular
" in New Jersey and Pennsylvanla-who
are frightened by the cry of disunion, but
who would be glad to vote for Fremont were
this bug-bear out of the way. Mr.. Bolts,
representing the same population at the
South, has laid this ghost. He declares
many times, that whatever may be the result
of the contest, the Union will be in no sort
of danger"
We have always believed that Botts's eff
forts not only tended to, bat were in effect
powerful efforts in behalf of Black Repub
licanisn. 1t is true, he declares that he is
the advocate of Fillmore's election. but this
only makes his attacks upon the South the
more insidous and dangerous. 1t will be
seen. from the Herald, to what use the
speech is to be applied, and the effect it will
have at the North. 1t is to bring to the
support IF Fremont the sweak backed" who
feared 7hstrlfs election would produce dis
solution of the Union, &c.
After Underwood, Yankee from Virgil
ria, attended the Fremont National Conyen-
ton, lie was prohibited from returning to
this State, but Bolts, whose efforts tend a
thousand times more powerfully to the cleo
ton of Fremont, is permitted to disseminate
his poison broadcast over the whole Common
wealth, simply because he says he is sup
porting Fillmore. The name of Fillmore is
the mask that covers the real character of
this Southern wolf with Northern nav, that
prowls unrestrained over the State, prepar-
ing his party for submission to the election
of Fremont and the suhjugation of the
South.
But, unfortunately, there is more than
one wolf in the Virginia fold. This Rich
mond speech of Bottss has been repeated at
various places in the State, and continues to
be industriously peddled around, and has
been almost uniformly endorsed by his party
subalterns.
When he delivered his speech at Staun-
ton, we are told, it was Endorsed before the
audience by Mr.. Stuart, the President of the
meeting, and by Mr.. Imboden, the X. N.
Elector for this District.
We we're astonished that Messrs. Stuart
and Imboden would endorse the sentiments
of Mr.. Bolts, after the strong denunciation
that was hcaped upon him in Richmond,
last winter They certainly were carried
away by the excitement of the occasion and
were not conscious of the position they were
taking. They owe it to themselves and the
South to Immediately correct the impression
that has been made upon the public mind
They should at once cut loose from Bolts and
set the opposition party Alright before the
North, through the n. Y. Herald. But we
are OBTAINING our readers too long from the
article from the Herald, which is copied be-
low:
