friends on the subject of the Pacific Railroad He
said Republican speech was novelty among his
productions. He had always trained with the De

II went to the Democratic Convention In or5sr
to forward the resolutions adopting the Pacific Rail-
road as principle Mr.. Inge presented those reso-

The GERMANS FOR FREMoNT.-ln many Of our
Atlantic exchanges we notice accounts of leading
Germans. who, since the nomination of Fremont,
have deserted the Democracy and are going for Re
pubicansm. AS a class, or nation. the German :
have ever been opposed to the extension of slavery,
and now that they must adopt such an ISSUE if they
cooperate with the Democratic party it is not sing
ular that they should join the Republicans, and
through their aid it is confidently expected that Ere
mont will carry Illinois and Pennsylvania. A con-
vention composed of ten editors Of German papers
with united weekly circulation of 10000, met at
Cincinnati on the 9th Of June and pledged them,
selves to act hereafter with the Republican party
against the extension Of slavery. Such, presume,
will be the course pursued by the many thousand
Germans in California, and to that believe
Mr.. Fremont will be indebted for at least two-thrds
of the votes he may receive in this State.-Soc. 4m.
