PoRT WILLIAMS AHEAD.-EDs. GAZETTE.
At a meeting Of nearly two hundred goteys in
the town of Port Williams, in this county, a
cah was made for the Fremont men to rise,
and thereupon euery man in tile house rose
to his feet. The same was requested of
Buchanan's friends, and there being none
present, of course, none arose. Beat this if
you can! Old Clinton is right.
a Yours truly, f. Nh.

While taking this stand, we have been the
most panied from the consciousness that we
may differ from many of our old friends.-
Wehave, in unison supported Andrew Jack
son, we have stood together unfalteringly
even in the trying days of l840-we gave
our labor and our influence in order to car
ry the vote of Wisconsin for Lewis Cass.--
We supported Franklin Pierce under the
hope, which has been most sadly blasted
that he would be the President of the whole
country. But wefeel that our consistency,
our honor and our duty, will not permit us
to give a support to a continuance of that
dangerous administration. We trust that
we shall not sever from old friends, for
there are tens of thousands of Democrats
who gave their votes for Franklin Pierce,
who will now give their votes for John G.
Fremont, as the best and huest Democrat,
in life, character and principles, Of all the
candidates presented for the sufragesofthe
American people. May God sustain the
Right, will be the wish Of that vast body Of
voters in our country, who ask no Office
but Justly demand good government, admin
istered in accordance with the early princi-
pies Of the fathers of our Republic, and for
the securing Of such government that true
men should be willing to give bis treasure,
his health. and his life--if need be.
