We understand that this gentleman made
speech ioihe Fremont Club on Friday evening.
He has AZ last deserted the friends that re-eiect-
ed him % has present position, aud thrown
hsmself into the arms al those, Who, but less
than year ago. would have crashed him TO
The earth Many are asfonished atihis strange
conduct ~ Albert LANCE ~ view If the fact
that in 1855 he aid. he would lick these same
men. with whom be y now acting. 'gHfer AIS
feet - We have hesrd great many old liners
express a desire that inasfnoek. a. he sssught
from. and was elected 10 HI office by our par.
~. that haying changed his opinions. 1t would
se more than fair that he shoald resign his
position and give the Black Republicans a
chance TO try their hand at eleeting him.
The above il par, Of an article clipped from
the Journal Of Taursdsy IL speaks for a.
self. and shows the pToscfiptise aud intoleraat
spirit Of the old line party II goes upon the
principle. that il en- indiv idual attaches him
self TO that party once. he must always re
main there. no difference how corrupt or anti
democratic the party has become. Once a
slave. always siave. is the doctrine OF the
editor. Of the journal They have no isea Of
individual Independence. or uarestrained free
dom TO think a. they please. As their lead.
err play 40 do they dance. The loaves and
The fishes position and place is the incentive
to their every act. and how men can change
from PrissiSls. is beyond their comprehension
IT'S ,rve, Albert Ia=ssS7 81 make speech
in the Fremont Club. and there declared him
self to be opposed To the destruction OF the
Missouri Compromise and determined 10 resist
, the advance Of human slavery into free terri
tory. Ills true, be thus spoke. and we will
inform the Journal. that the sentiments there
expressed are entertained by the great mass Of
> the German population Of this city aud Of
this entire country
Rut says the Journal. Mr. LANCE has at
last deserted his friends that re elected him to
his present position -
Every person that ever knew Esq LANCE
well, knows that he never entertained tho Pho.
stAvrsy doctrines now advocated by the dem
oeratic party. That. when the cardinal prin.
ciple of that party, became one TO extend the
institution of slavery, then he. like any free
Northern man. deserted that party. and de-
Z clared his hostility to its principles. He sup
posed the democratic party was as IL avowed
! slavery into territory now free" but when he
discovered that, as a great party, il sustained
border rufiianism in Kansas. upheld the en-.
forcement Of laws the most odious end tyran.
nical that ever disgraced civilized man. and
y was in favor Of forcing the peculiar Institution
Of slavery into territory now free. then wha,
could he do but refuse TO set with that party
: and unite with those who are in favor Of free
Il discussion. free thought and free territory
l. The Journal says, "men are astonished al
= this strange conduct Of Albert LANCE" Men
= are moi astonshsd Mr.. Journal, but astonish
ment and perplexi,y and modification seize,
y hold ~ demagogucs and doughfaces and sla
very propsgandists, when they see suck men al
J. over the country, deserving their party ane
y thsir cause. when ihey behold the great con
q sentative North. determined to preserve III.
n Freedom Of oar public domain. and at the sam,
b. slime preserve the Union Of these States.
n But Mr. Cookery says. Mr. LANCE Shout,
\ resign his office, iuasmuch a. he was electe,
j, by the old line party" Now the idea of thu
'e old line party eu0 electing any officer in vi
go county is preposterous. Alder, Lang
10 was elected by those belonging to both an,
Sc all parties. aud even II he should resign tn
10 position he now holds rs Auditor of thi
county. the Republican party despitc.of al
he efforts Of old lineism. would give 1t [,
e him again, by at least 700 majnrity
j. IL. however. the editors Of the Journal in
tend TO devote an article TO everv voter who
~ one year ago voted with the old line part,
. but now intends 10 go for freedom and Ere
n. mont, II had better exclude from its column
- all tho advertising patronage. Tor IL will r,
quirc every inch Of their Daily to simply Civ
ne their names.
