FILLMORE IN MIssoURI.--Inaportant Movement.
Our readers have doubtless not failed to notice the
lively confidence of the Wing and American par
ties of Missouri of being able to do something
handsome for the great conservative in that State
at the coming Presidential election. OF course, at
this distance the grounds upon which these hopes
were based could not be fully known. The Saint
Louis Republican Of the 18th, Ia Democratic jour
nall however, in querulous article, throws some
light on the subject. That paper says:
.'The leaders of the Ben.on party here have sent
out special instructions to their followers in Saint
Charles, Franklin Jefferson, Perry, Gasconade,
Usage, and in short, all the counties in which Mr..
Benton received any marked respect advising
them to vote for Mr. Fillmore against Mr.. Buchan-
an, and in the event that they cannot 60 SO far,
then to stay at homo and let the election go by de-
fault"
OF course, the Republican endeavors to persuade
itself the Benton party win not follow the advice
of those with whom they have heretofore acted,
but mhat will be their action can only he shown
when the day arrives. Meanwhile, we can see no
good reason why the friends of Mr.. Benton should
assist in the election of Mr.. Buchanan, and much
that should induce all conservative men to vote
for Mr. Fillmore.

From the Albany Statesman.
Mr.. Seward on Fremont.

Mr. Seward, in hin speech delivered at Auburn
on Tuesday last, thought proper TO apologize Tor
not endorsing the character of Colonel Fremont
in the following singular manner
1t is not my habit to speak largely Of candidates.
refrain FIR two reasons--frs', because being me-
cessariy brought into personal combination or con-
fict with public men, my Judgment concerning
them is liable to the bias Of Partially or OF Jeai
ousy secondly, because II is not the habit OF par
ties In our country TO select unfit, unworthy, or
unreliable men to be their representatives. What
ever may be the personal merits or dement's of a
candidate, he cannot act otherwise, if he be cho-
sen, than as an agent Of the majority TO whom he
owes his place, The real question, therefore, in
every canvass, is, what the merits of the party
by whom candidate is preferred, and inquiries
concerning the personal character, conduct, and
dispositions of candidates are lost on false and
delusive issue. You try the truth Of this po-
stion at once, by inquiring Of whomsoever assails
the character of the candidate of your choice whe
ther he would give his support to that candidate,
abandoning his own, If all his objections could at
once be removed Your opponent, if candid
man, would probably answer in the negative.
No candid person can read the above without
discovering in it at once virtual admission Of the
charges brought against Mr. Fremont by his oppo-
nents. Mr.. Seoard cannot defend him from those
charges, because he knoios them to be true He
has had personal acquaintance with Fremont in
Washington. He has been present with him in
the Senate when he cast his votes for slavery. He
does not trust him, and he will not endorse him.
The shallowness of the excuse Is apparent In
deed, we question whether its real meaning was
intended to be concealed. Charges have been
made against Mr.. Fremont, rejecting not only
upon his honesty as politician, but upon his in
tegrity as man. 1t is absurd to- suppose that any
considerations would deter Mr.. Seward from meet
ing and refuting those charges, If it we're in his
power to do so. 1t is not; and hence Mr.. Sew
wards endeavor to persuade his friends that the
personal character Of the candidate is mmaterial,
and hence his PRONUNCIATION of the singular doc
trine that the merits Of the party alone should be
taken into consideration or, in other words that
if party is right it Is justified in placing in Office
corrupt and dishonest men.

The MARCH OF FoLLY.--The Fremont journals
now openly taunt the Fillmore party, that If Free
mont cannot be elected they will certainly vote for
Buchanan in preference to Fillmore. The Cincin-
natl Commercial Of Tuesday says:
'The sentiment of the Republican party, if test
ed now, will be found overwhelmingly in favor of
JAS Buchanan in preference to Willard Fillmore and
the Republican Congressman who would dare to
give his influence or vote for the Know-Nothing
candidate, under any circumstances, would by that
act sign and seal his own political death warrant"
Not doubt of it. And this preference Of the
Northern extremists is in accordance with the or.
der and fitness of things for it is in the nature of
reckessness, failing of its own desperate aim, to
rush into the embrace of an opposite folly which
promises the same result.

Governor Geary seems to be discharging his
duty In Kansas with unabated energy and in
manner satisfactory 20 reasonable men. He writes
to the Secretary Of State at Washington, from
Lecompton, under date Of the 10th instant, that
all Is now peaceable and quiet in the Territory.
He adds:
Not only have all large armed bodies Of men
been dispersed, but the smaller bands oil marau-
ders been driven off. The roads travelled with
safety, and dwellings, are secure from intrusion
For upwards of two weeks no outrages have
been automatically reported. Many notorious and
troublesome agitators, claiming to belong to all
parties have left the Territory, and the benetcent
influence of their absence is being already very
sensibly felt. The troops sent to the North have
not yet returned. 1t is my purpose to leave on
the northern frontier considerable force for its
protection, and the remainder OF the troops viii
be employed to guard such other points as may
seem to require it. shall shortly proceed in per-
ton of the Territory, in pursuit OF gang OF thieves
who are said to be pillaging that region"
We have already published despatch by tsle-
graph respecting the arrest, by order of Governor
Geary, Of some Eastern emigrants to Kansas. The
reason for the arrest is thus stated by cores
pondent of the st. Louis Republican:
"Two hundred and fifty Aboltionsts, under
Pomeroy and Eldridge, were captured on the 10th
instant. a few miles from the Nebraska line, by
COL st. George Cooke. Lane and Brown escaped
These men were fresh from the East, under mill
tary drill, and equipped with all the munitions Of
war Amongst other things, they had thirty drag
DON saddles, and not a single horse. They ex-
pected to press, alias STEAL horses for their sad
dies This is the reasonable conclusion. 1t Is ex-
pected that Gov. Geary will dsarm them and escort
them out of the Territory, leaving Pomeroy and
Eldridge, perhaps for trial on the charge of tea-
son."
A despatch to the New York Tribune says all
the prisoners have been released. The same des-
patch informs us that the grand jury are finding
indictments against the free State men charged
with murder. gt
The Free State Convention had decided " not
to hold an election for President and Vice Presi-

Buck AND BREcK IN kAksAs.-We
noticed in this city, last week, team OF
wagons, which had just come in from the
interior, about enc hundred and fifty miles
distant On most of them was painted in
large large letters, =" The Union "a nd Con-
stitution,"" Buchanan and Breckenridge"
We learned from the proprietor Of the
train, that in his section of the Territory
there are none but Buchanan men, vino
are very anxious 10 give HIM lift in the
coming election. Did Kansas have vote
it would be given for Buchanan and Beck

We understand from Mr.. Clark, in
charge of Marshall's wagons, that about
month ago, the Usage and Kaw Indians
took and brutally murdered a Sioux squaw,
who was living in the neighborLood OF
Marysyille, and at the same time killed
an Otoe Indian; and that they returned
last week to the vicinity OF Marysville,
and stole several horses from the settlers.
1t would he but justice to persons settling
in that vicinity that they should be protec-
