Col. Fremont.

In consideration of the prominent position
this man occupies at the present time be-
fore the America n people, the following brie
sketch of him may not be out of place. We
find it in the Washington correspondence OF
the Cleveland Herald, and we presume, from
the initials, O. A b. that it is from the
pen of JAS A. BRIGGS, Esq, an eminent
citizen of Cleveland. Be that as it may,
it is brief sketch of an exemplary man, and
man who has left his mark upon the Amer
ican continent and the American people.
Col. Fremont is native of South Caro-
lima, and is descended from the Puritans Of
France-the Huguenots-from men who
were consecrated to liberty and the rights
of conscience in the baptism of fire and
blood. He was born in 1918, and graduated
at Charleston College. His family were
very poor He struggled against poverty
and alone and without friends, asked and
obtained employment of the General Gov
ernment in the Exploring Expedition to the
Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Coast
He is man of ndomitable energy, of iron
will, of true heroism of charac'er-and frank
and candid in the expression of his opinion
on all questions of public policy. He was
for freedom in California, and gave his in
fluence to make that great State free. For
this he was defeated by the slave propaganda
lists. il reelection to the Senate.
Col. Fremont is a member and a commu-
meant of the Protestant Episcopal Church
is a man OF great simplicity and purity Of
life-beloved and respected in all circles
where he is known-has a thorough knowl-
edge of men, and is well versed in all our
governmental affairs. He is Pacific Rail-
road man, and an ardent advocate of River
and Harbor improvements. In all his feel
ings and sympathies he is Western man,
and is desrous of seeing the prairies of the
far West, and the coast OF the Pacific, dotted

A Voice from New jersey.

The Newark New Jersey) Mercury, o
Monday, published a letter from Commodore
Stockton, in which he avows himself with
sufficient distinctness, in favor of any party
which has for its purpose the condemnation
of the repeal of the Missouri Compromise
This letter hardly admits of doubt as to
which party Commodore Stockton will favor
with the weight of his influence, whatever
it may be in the coming Presidential con-
test. We copy the letter entire:
PRINCETON, Friday, May 2, 1856.
To the Editor Of the Neuark Mercuy:
SIR: In your paper of the Goth ult. l per-
ceive the following editorial remark: "We
understand that a determined and well un-
derstood movement in this State is in pro-
gress, looking to the bringing out of Com.
Stockton as an independent candidate for
the Presidency"
l was informed on my return to New Jer-
sew, after short absence, that such meas
ure was in contemplation. 1t has, however,
been abandoned, that it might not 'compli-
cate matters in the State still further"
You are correctly informed when you say
Commodore Stockton unequivocally con-
demns the repeal of The Missouri Compro-
mise,' and do hope that the people of New
Jersey will have an opportunity (not embar-
rassed by other issues) to manifest their dis
appreciation of the indeiensble violation Of
that compact of peace
Your obedient servant,
R. F. STOCKTON.

The True Position.

In letter to the Ashtaaula s ztinel, the
Hon. Joshua R. Giddings LAYS down the
rule that will govern his actioa in regard to
the Presidential nominee of the 18th June
Convention. The letter was callei out by
an assertion in the Washington Unioq that
he had written or inst gated articles opros-
ing the nomination of Col. Fremont. he
says:
81 have never intimated an unkind fee ling
toward him, nor of opposition to him. On
the contrary, have constantly said that l
would sustain him with the greatest pleas
ure, 4 he holds to the right and duty of
Congress to exclude Slavery from our Ter
ritories, and receives the nominate, n. This
rule apply to every candidate, and | do
not believe the people will either support or
nominate any man whose views on this sub
ject shall be withheld from the public. Nor
will the people be willing to receive the as
surance of myself, OF OF other individuals,
in regard to the vie VS. of candidates. The
views of each should be expressed by his
past conduct or by distinct avowal over his
own signature. We cannot afford to be
deceived at this important crisis.
when l say have expressed no hostility
TO any candidate, will add have express
ed no choice in favor of any individual. But
stand pledged to support the Philadelphia
nominee, # he be openly committed to our
policy. If such candidate be nominated,
his election may be regarded as certain;
while any attempt at the Philadelphia Con-
yention 20 follow past examples by taking a
candidate whose opinions are uncertain and
unknown, must insure defeat.
"Our candidate must command support
because his principles are knOwn to be right,
and not for the reason that his friends don't
know whether they are right or wrong. Let
Judge Mclean or Col. Fremont or any 9TH
er nan spoken OF, be the NOMINEES because
of mis- adhesion to these principles, and he
will be elected. Without such adherence
| eppreLeud defeat must await him."

if not, all the expenses of Mr.. RS detention

dence taken by the Committee.
While Gov. Reeder was in attendance at

compton, to answer charge Of contempt

the Grand Jury previously served upon him.
Mr.. Reeder refused to obey the writ. and
appealed to the Committee, but they decided
that they had no power in the case. Messrs.
Howard and Sherman, however, expressed
as their opinion that Mr.. Reeder was pro-
tected by his privilege. MIR. Oliver dissented,
and said the Committee could not stand be-
tween him and the Marshal. Mr. Reeder
said that, although his life was in danger at
Lecompton, he would remain on his priviI-
ege in attendance at the sittings of the Com
mittee, and he warned them to touch him al
their peril. The Marshal left, but was ex-
pected to return on the 9th with United
States Dragons.
Judge Lecompt charged the Grand Jury,
on Monday, the 5th inst, to indict all the
State officers and members Of the Legisla-
ture for high treason. but up TO the 9th inst.
no such indictments had been found by the
court, so far as their proceedings had been
made public.

nation is derived from the passengers: The
steamer left Kansas on Saturday. the 10Th
Gov. Robinson and family being among the
passengers. At Lexington, Missouri, Gov.
Robinson was waited upon by committee

they should detain him, on the ground that
he was fleeing from the Territory to avoid
an arrest on an indictment of treason, which
had been found against him by the Grand
Jury of the United States District Court. -
Gov. Robinson replied that he had been in.

attempt had been made to find bill, but
