has, as you ale already aware, nominated for the
Presidency Colonel John o. Fremont, Of California.
This nomination il regarded here by all with
II supreme indifference. Indeed nothing could better
illustrate their own desperation than the nomination
of Colonel Fremont by this hybrid collection Of evil
ana dissatisfied spirits. To suppose that young man
Ike Fremont, clever gentleman in his way, but with
no record as statesman, and no familiarity with the
practical working Of our institutions, should receive
the sages ofany considerable portion Of the people,
omething almost yerging upon the absurd Ere
mont is gallant and hardy adventure and explorer
and when that said, oil is said, We're he the repre-
of the popular impulse Of the nation, these
qualities would go far to reconcile the people to his
lack of the attributes Of a statesman. Standing as
he now does, in the character Of exponent of sec
Etonasm and fanaticism and on q platform which,
carried out, must lead to disruption Of
the Union, he who supposes that he has even a re
mote prospect of success must first lose all confidence
the intelligence and patriotism of the people, and
their devotion to the Constitution and the Union,

I las I said above, the nomination Of Fremont is
viewed withentire Indifference by both parties. The
Democracy failing in the attempt to produce stan-
lpede among the Americans and Wings Of the South,
by conjurng up dreadful visions Of their own crea-
ton have altogether abandoned the idea. The feel
ing is general that by the first of September only the
two tickets Of Fillmore and Buchanan will be serious
~ considered, and that the Black Republicans will
not obtain even q plurality in q single State.
Fremont, as is well known is son-in.law Of Col.
Benton Some one asked Old Bullion, q short time
ago, what he would do. if Fremont was nominated.

Mr.. Clayton, on Monday last, introduced inthe SEN
ate bill supplementary to that reported from the
Committee on Territories, providing for the adms-
sion Of Kansas into the Union. The principal pro-
visions OF it are that all the obnoxious laws Of the
Territory shall be repealed that slavery shall be
protected in the Territory until it becomes State and
then that the question shall be decided by the people,
and that in estimating the population it should be
done BY federal Numbers and not according to the
wholesale mode Of Douglas BILL It is said thatthe
Senate will reectit though it seems to that it is
more favorable to the South than even the Commit
tees bill, Mr. Clayton madea strong speech in de.
fence Of his propositions and concluded BY saying that
having no longer any political aspirations and being
attached to no party, his only ambition was oserve
his country and restore peace and aternal concord
i to the different sections of the Union.
Fl On the same day Senator Adams, Of Mississippi,
made an able speech in favor Of his bill extending
the period required for the naturalization Of foreign
ers to twentyo years. He introduced tables show
ing the progressive increase of foreign immigration,
Il
foreign element in this country would in few years,
become fearfuly strong He quoted largely from the
old fathers of the Republic, warning against the
dangers of immigration, at time when the annual
increase Of foreigners did not exceed ten thousand
land he then showed from official statistics, that at
the present time they coming in at the rate of
nearly half a million a. year! Mr.. Adams then pro-
eeeded to show the disastrous effects of this immgra
ton more particularly upon the South In 1900 the
South had as many members in the House Of Repre-
sentatves as the North. In 1850 the North had
four more than the South. Surprising that thenatu-
raj increase of population in the South is equal to
that in the Nortf-and believe the census returns
show that it iswe thus have, by incontestible fig
ures, the main reason Of the present numerical supe.
riority of the North-for at least fourffths of the
foreigners settle in the nonsIaveholding States Mr.
Adams then showed that if the present rate Of mmi
grafton continued, in fifteen years the North would
have just double as many members in the popular
branch of Congress as the South would. Surely,
these are considerations which ought to startle the
people Of the South! What guarantee will they have
for the protection of their rights when they shall be
borne down by the Overwhelming numerical superior
ty of the North2 a54 z@.
Mr.. Adams bill also proposes to take the natu1al
zationof foreigners ont Of the State courts altogether
and vest ittexclusively in the Federal Courts-and
another section provides for the entire exclusion of
all foreign paupers and criminals.
To all rejecting meni must be apparent that our
own safety and protection require some immediate
remedy against the fearful increasing evils of foreign
Immigration, and yet such is the vigor of party obi
cations, that doubt if the dominant party will ever
bring Mr.. Adams bill to vote, much less pass it.
Truly has it been said that party spirit is the curse
and bane of a republic.
The Democratic associations had a grand ratifica--
ton meeting here last night in front of the City Hail.
Cannon were fired, bonfres burnt, rockets sent off
and various other demonstrations of joy made. The
speakers stand was decorated, not with American
flags altogether, but with the flags of nearly all the
nations of the eart Considering that the people Of
this District have no vote in the election of Pres
1 dent, it seemed to me to be quite an unnecessary

waste Of patriotism But the secret of it is explained
in the fact that the leaders and getteup of it are
intent portion of the spoils of Office and they
take this method Of bringing their names before the
candidate Of their party. = 5@
tits said that Mr.. Marcy has given Official notice to
Denmark that we will continue the payment of the
Sound Dues for one year longer. Last year we gave
the same notice, and the time expired in April. But
predicted Mr. Marcy has concluded to leave this
matter as a legacy to the next administration. Mr..
Marcy, like Major Joe Bagstock is deep" He is
not disposed to annoy himself for the remaining brief
period of his official existence with the distracting
cares of State Ali he asks is to be allowed to remain
in the quiet, serene, and uninterrupted enjoyment of
his beloved spoils.. ESSEX.
