He said-and listen o We FREMoNrERs-
when he left California, he bad not heard
the nominations of the Democratic, the Know

to hear, just before his arrival here, when the
pilot boarded their steamer, that Fremont was
nominated for the Presidency by the Republic

reached California, such an outcry would be
raised against the nomination, that Fremont
would never claim to come from California
again. II is claimed that Fremont was a mil
lionairc, but he dare not go upon his Mariposa
claim. lie the speaker would not give $500 for
the whole claim. But n small moiety Of the
population in California would go for Fillmore,

glance rather behold the gorgeous ensign Of the
Republic, now known and honored throughout
the earth, still full high advanced, its arms aud

a stripe erased or polluted, nor a single star

A firm believer in mans capacity for self gov

hat the people Of Indiana, hitherto devoted to
the UIion, will become SO blind and led away
by passion aud prejudice. as to be willing to
hazard the stability of a government that has
afforded them so much Of security and prosperity
for the sake Of removing a supposed evil that
exists without their borders, and with which,
politically, they have no Government. I will
rather believe that they will adopt and adhere
to those true prineiples-on which alone can
this community Of States be lasting-that the
people Of each State and Territory shall be left
free to regulate their own domestic concerns in
their W way, subject only to the Constitution
of the United States. In this way. each CON-

At the state ratification meeting of the black
republicans Of Indiana, held at Indianapolis, on
the 10th ult., Mr.. Moreau, one of the Buchan-
an electors, madea speech in favor of Fremont
So says the Sentinel. Cannot the democratic
leaders hit upon some method to put a stop to
these stampedes?
The south-western. [volume] (Shreveport, La.) 1852-1870, 1856-08-27

From the developments, which have already
transpired, it is absolutel y positive that Mr..
Buchanan is the weakest of the three candi-
dates in the field; that in the north he is impo-
tent to the last degree, and without the assur-
sylvania, and that the contest in the north is
really between Mr.. Fremont and Mr. Fillmore.
Prove this, say thousands of democrats in the
south, and We shall vote for Fillmore to defeat
Fremont. Proofs in abundance we have fur
nisbed already, and those who think proper, in
dispassionale and impartial spirit, to investi.
gate the subject, have merely to examine the
public press from day to day, and they will
speedily convince themselves that there is nc
exaggeration in our statements At all events
no one will deny that fit be true that the con.
test in the north is between Fillmore and Ere
mont, every southern vote cast for Buchanan is
virtually a vote in favor of Fremont. It. there
fore, becomes of the highest Importance, to poin
out clearly and Enthusiastically what public sen
timent is at the north, and to warn southern
men to avoid being misled by the blatant out,
cries of rampant partzans or salarled officials
In the words Of a cotemporary, We want the
south to see this matter rightly. We would not

democrat or know nothing, or old-line whig. We
ask him to inform himself what are the facts
and we tell him candidIy but seriously. that ere
another month shall have elapsed it will be ap
parent to the whole country that none but Mr.
Fillmore can defeat the election of colonel Ere
mont, and that it is the duty Of southern men
without respect to party. to give them their ear
