The Political Frame, at Monticello, White
county, Indiana, is q model " independent
paper. 1t publishes the strongest editorial
articles in favor Of Buchanan election, side
by side with articles equally strong in favor
Of Fremonts election. One Of the editors is
an enthusiastic Bucharier, and the other no
less jealous Fremouter. As there are no Fill
more men in that region this arrangement

its preference for Buchanan, and gives the
Mariposa Spectator the following sharp cut !:
If Fremont has some personal friends in this
State, he has also many enemies, while his old
connection with the bankers, Palmer, Cook d
Co, who are so obnoxious here, may excite
tho feelings and prejudices of many who might

stration of satisfaction. The San Francisco
Herald, of July 18th. says of Mr. Buchanan:
" Of all men in the United States he is the best
fitted, by his antecedents, by his genius, by
his purity Of character, by the splsndor of his
statosmen-like attainments, and by his known
loyalty and fidelity to the Union, to command,
at crisis like tho present, the confidence and
the hearts of the people. He is besides, the
trusted standard bearer Of n party which is
now confessedly the conservative party Of the
country. There is, indeed, no other party in
the Union. The other organizations do not
deserve the name. We have no doubt that
nint-:eI tbs of tho old Clay Wings will vote for
James Buchanan"
