There is no mistake about the effect of
Fremont's nomination on the politicians
The democrats are taken all aback by it.
All sorts of stories are trumpied up against
him. They indicate the feeling in regard to
his availability and strength. learn from
Richmond that the democratic leaders in
Virginia are made desperate by the Philadel-
phia nomination. 1t is reported here on the
best authority that great effort will short
y be made 20 crush Fremont and blast bis
prospects forever. If not prevented by wis.
or counsels, a statement, backed by affida-
Wits prepared for the purpose, is to be made
public, affecting Fremont's early career, in
which the most serious charges are to he
made. My opinion is, that it will not njure
him in the least; indeed, it will improve his
position. The masses will look upon the
affairs MS persecution, and will not believe
a word of what is said. But look out for
the charges when they come, and be prepar.
ed for statement that will throw into the
shade all those made against General Jack
son in that heat of the canvass in his time.

TILE POST.
ATHENS, FRIDAY, JULY II, 1855.

e3g- The present Congress, thus far, has
not gathered many laurels. 1t has resenbled
primary assembly, where there is hard
scramblirg for petty office, rather than n
dgnified legislature looking to the homer and
welfare of its constituencies. We are not
aware of any real good to the country which
has been derived from the present session,
but much that is evil. The conduct If the
members of the House and of the Senate,
with some honorable exceptions, has been so
boisterous, reckless and rude, TINT the peo-
Pile at large, seeing there is no shame left in
the minds of their representatives are aCtu
ally beginning to inquire whether we could
not do without any Congress whatever, or, at
lenst, whether IL they assemble but once in
seven years and were to be called together
only on imminent occasions, the country
would not be better off, When the people
ask themselves these questions it is tims to
take alarm. The truth is, there is deep
seated evil in this part of our national repre-
ccutt'Nt ol ettnis anu ~ Ia tiilic " WIS CA
posed to the public eye.
We do not hesitate to state our belief that
corruption most foul and infamous exists at
Washington, and that one half the clamor
and noise which occur at the Capitol are
raised on purpose to divert the public atten-
ton from the actual frauds that are perpe-
trated there.
During the present session of Congress
about ten million six hundred thousand
acres of the public lands have been voted
away to about dozen railway companies
and the public is hardly aware of the fact;
and other similar land schemes are before
Congress which will absorb as much more.
And this is brought about in manner whieh
prevents the possibility of timely opposition
and detection.

CAUSE OF THE OREGON INDIAN TRoUB1Es
Among the official documents received from
Oregon, is letter from Joel Palmer superin-
tendent of Indian Affairs, who confirms the
statements of Gen. Curry, and says the pres-
ent difficulty in Southern Oregon is wholly
attributable to the acts of the whites adding:
81 cannot but feel it is our duty to adopt
such measures as will tend to secure the lives
Of these Indians, and maintain the guarantees
secured by treaty stipulations. The future
will prove that this war has been forced upon
these Indians, against their will, and that too.
by set of reckless vagabonds, for pecuniary
and political objects, sanctioned by numer.
GUS population, who regard the treaty of the
United States as legitimate object of plum
der. The Indians in that district have been
driven to desperation by acts of cruelty against
their people. Treaties have been violated,
and acts of barbarity committed BY those
claiming to be citizens, that would disgrace
the most barbarous nations of the earth, II
none but those who permitted such acts were
to be affected by this war, we would look upon
it with indifference; but unhappily, this is not
the case.''
