Thus, should Fremont get the electoral vote of
every free State, it now bids fair that he will,
he will have Sc majority in the electoral college,
or u more than are necessary TOR a choice. So
that, even should Pennsylvania go for Buchanan,
and the other free States go for Fremont, the lat
ter will receive l49 votes, and be elected. With
Pennsylvania, Fremont afford to lose Cali
fornia, New Jersey, and Indiana or Illinois, (the
two latter of which he is certain to get,) and yet
come in. The States named are the only ones of
which there has been thought at any time to exist
any doubt. The only really doubtful States now
are Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and they are
fast coming round right side up with he other
free States, for John C. Fremont and VIM. l..

copy the following from private letter, lust re-
ceived, dated Yuba, California, July 9th, 1856 -
1.-The recent Outrages in Kanzas, and the attack
on Senator Sumner, are producing quite reyolu-
ton in public sentiment in California. Many Of
the most influential papers in the State, that a
few months ago we're strongly in favor ofthe pro-
slavery party in Kanzas, and elsewhere, now con-
denim the course the South has taken to restrain
freedom Of speech, freedom Of the press, and the
freedom Of the people. The Sacramento Union
and San Francisco Chronicle are particularly in.
dgnant Even pro-slavery men blush to adyo-
cato their own cause. ] think there is no danger
Of slavery ever pouting the fair shores Of the Pa
oihe. Twill, lift is ever necessary, speak against
1t, write against il, and do all in my power pre-
Ven1 II and mapy others feel as do. But pub.
lie opinion is greatly changed in California and
Oregon, and liberty will ever maintain its su-
premaey in the mountains Of the Pacific slope

was needed at once in the border districts next
to Nebraska and in a few hours, according
TO Gen. Smiths orders, two full companies of

The South Americans are caucusing to-
night, and learn that proposition is on foot
to recommend Mr.. Fillmore to withdraw from
the canvass. This grows out of the late South
ern elections. L learn that certain South
Americans of the House will declare for Bu-
chanan if they can get the floor to morrow
night. Others from slave States have already
pronounced for Fremont.
IL P. M.-The caucus of the South Ameri-
cans broke up without accomplishing the OBJ
ject for which they met, notice being given
them by certain distinguished South Amen-
cans that if they persist in requesting Mr. Fill
more to withdraw, but that they, the South
Americans, should declare for Fremont in pre-
ference to Buchanan. A storm is brewing"

BOOKSELLERS DRIVEN OUT OF MOBILE FOR
SELLING ANTI SLAvERY PUBLICATIONS. Mo-
bile, Aug. l6th.-There has been great ex-
element here to- day, which had its origin in
the sale of abolition books by stationery
firm in this city. The name Of the firm in
question is Strickland & Co. The individual
members are VIM. Strickland and E. Upton.
The only charge against them was the selling
of books that were regarded as of an incendi-
airy character, inasmuch as they favored the
freedom of the slaves. This, however, was
more than our people could submit to, and a
committee of five of our citizens was accord
ingly formed, who waited on the individuals
above alluded to, and ordered them to leave
the city within five days.
As soon as the action of the Committee
became known, the excitement rapidly in
creased, and the parties, for fear of more das-
perate measures, fled the city, in the most Sc
cret manner possible. The firm was in the
enjoyment of large basiness, and have here
tof ore been literally patronised by the citi-
zens.
