BucuANA>'s EviprNcE.-The evidence OF
Mr.. buchanan in respect Of Mr.. Fremont's
transactions N a government ofhcer in Cali
fornia, Is very distastefnl TO tho Buchan-
GERS. To summon their leader and present
bis sworn evidence before the American peo-
pie in yindieation, complete, perfect, tri-
umrhant vindcation, -of the conduct Of
Mr.. Fremont, seems like s.crowding the
monrners" little too rudely, and they twist
and squirn like cells 10 frying-Pau. They
had been at great pains In concocting this
cattle stealing: story Mr.. Buchanan's sps-
cial friend had demcaned and degraded him
self as Senator and ssrung in'' the Admin
istra.ion majority IA parties to this vile at
tack upon q man Of unsupported integrity,
the correctness OF whose transactions, "a a
matter Of personal belief, there was not an
individual in all the land who had the least
question Of and to have been to so much la.
Dor aud stopped so low to prepare scheme
which it was believed would compromise him
in public esteem and blast his prospects, and
then see all their work brought to nonght,- -
aye, worse than that, to see ii reflect credit
upon Mr.. Fremont and increase his chances,
by the testimony Of Mr.. Buchanan himself,
given under oath, before q court Of Justice,
in this identical case,--that is indeed bit
ter, biting, blasting termination Of skill
fully-contrived plot to Islander and belle the
fair fAme OF an honest man. And now, in
| their utter discontinue, in their blind and
! yindiciive rage, they turn around and i'm
peach the testimony Of MIR. Buchanan him
self! In an article in tho Washington Un-
ton, specially devoted TO the work Of discrcd-
ting his testimony in the case, with respect
both to Mr. fremont's pccnniary transac-
tons, and his agency in the conquest of
California, VIC find the following sentence:
Sits evident that Mr. Buchanan, in 1852,
iabored undeo the same ,nisapprehension rs
TO the conquest of California which pre-
vailed throughout the country"
When mon are driven to the necessity Of
impeachins the testimony Of the pr ncipal
party oa their OWN side of the case, aal
!. proving then own leader an ill.informed
ninny, We think it may be taken that the
fcpposite party has pretty strong case,
! frs,os Is Nrw yowS.--lt seems ye., like.
!, ~ chat the talAed-of fusion in New York
may be, or substantially is, contaminated
tha arrang sment being to this effect the
f,ilmoretes aaa Eachaneers to cas-. their
united yota for TIE Buchanan electoral ticket
and tho Know No.hin. state ticket, on which
Erassus Brooks is the candidate for Govern.
or. This gives Mr.. Fillmore, and the can
didate OF the Black Democracy fors Govern
or, Judge Parker, the go-by, and must be
very consoiing 10 them. The lssding organ
Of the Fillmoreites, the New York Express,
! is openly advocating the fusion, and thinks
that every thing should be sacrificed to com.
pass the defeat Of Fremont. And that il
che secret Of this unhallowed and base coali.
ition. II is not that one party love FILLMORE
and the other "regular nominations" less,
bu. that they both love Slavery and hate
i Fremont more. Bat iet them carry out tho
coalition. A few leaders may saske any ar
rangemcnt they choose, but to tsads and
transfer whole parties, with hundreds OF
thousands OF voters, is quite another AFFAIR.
! 1t has become an axiom, that an Army which
changes its front on the field Of battle, 10
already defssted. The axiom holds true ia
politics ~ wall ~ war, and il ths Opposition
in New York attempt to execute this maneu-
yer, they will hnd their forces in confusion
'inextricable. 1t ID trick TO which the Re-
pubiicans can make NO objection. An opep
general and concerted coalition Ike this, be-
tween tho Black Democracy and tho simon.
pure Know Nothings, viii settle tho question
Of supremacy in New York, and the Fremon,
majority will overtop the widest calculation.
