The fusion papers have given currency to
the statement that Hon. HENRY HORN and
Gen. PURvIASoE, both prominent and dis
tinguished Democrats of Pennsylvania, had
"coms out' for FREMONT
The truth of the rumor is pretty clearly
shown by the fact that HENRY HORN was one
of the Vice Presidents at the great Democrat
ic meeting in Independence Square, on the
18th inst, and that Gen. PURvIANcE has
written a letter to the Pittsburg Post, demol-
ishing both the charge of his detection and
the claims of JOHN c. Fremont to the suf-
frages of the American people together.
The people of the African persuasion can
now pick their hints and try again.

The Black republican papers say that JOHN
G. BREcKINRIDGE outraged all sense of pro-
priety and decency by attending mass meet
ings and making speeches.
A few evenings since, Mr.. BUCHANAN was
called out at his lodgings in Philadelphia, but
declined to make speech. The Black Re-
publicans again roll up their eyes, and call Mr.
BUCHANAN all the naughty names in the vo-
cabulary of Billingsgate, because he did not
make speech.

grained, shabby set of termsgants has "a

fact that the republican party in California

printed in English, and one in Spanish.
With this mighty newspaper force, they
talk confidently, hereaway, about carrying
California for FREMONT. There the idea is
