IHE SLAVERY RUFFIANs COMING BACK
Messrs. Brooks and Keitt are TO be returned
to Congress by their constituents in double
quick time. Special elections are ordered in
their districts for the 2Sth inst The Colum.
bia Is. CD Times says they will be sent back
without opposition and by large compli-
mentary vote. Their designations were simply
for dramatic effect. They will have the en-
dorsal of their constituents to their rufflsn
ism, and the country another evidence that
the slavery party adopts the assault on free
speech in the person of Mr.. Sumner. No
longer, certainly, can it be said that that
assault was purely personal matter. 1t has
become party question whether members of
Congress can any longer be allowed to speak
their own and the sentiments of their con-
acknowledgement Republican.
1t is lamentable that when the South are thus
unanimous to man in sustaining the men and
measures identified with their interests, the
North should allow itself longer to be divided and
split up into rival factions We trust the friends
Of Freedom will soon learn the great lesson so
often taught them by their Southern masters,
that, q In anton only is strength" The election
of Fremont by the united sectional votes of the
Free States, would be a good remedy for the
evils of the times. 1t mast be done

FREMONT ON SLOPES AND GRADEs.-On the
18th of August, 1912, Colonel Fremont, while
engaged in the famous exploration upon which
he had been ordered by government, reached
the remarkable gap in the Rocky Mountains
called the South Pass. In his admirable re-
port he says II should compare the elevation
which we surmounted Immediately at the
pass to tho ascent of the Capitol Hill from the
avenue, at Washington"
On the 4th of March next, Fremont will
again ascend Capitol Hill, not merely to take
note of its slope, but-called by the united
voice of free people-as our Chief Magis-
trate, to restore to the administration of the
government those principles which were cher
shed by those unwavering, patriotic states
men whom we revere as the fathers of our
Revolution and the founders of our glorious

TROUBLE IN THE AMERICAN CAMP The
Springfield Republican says that the American
party in that city. in sympathy with the rest of
the State, is good deal disturbed as to what
kind of Americans shall rule America. A meet
ing was held there on Saturday evening to choos
a delegate to the State Convention, at which
both the Fillmore and Fremont wings of the
party exerted themselves for full meeting, but
the aggregate turnout was only about l00-the
remnant Of council which in its high estate
numbered l2O0,-and some of these even left the
party long ago. The riends Of Fremont were in
small majority. A test vote was had on the
motion Of DR.. Hooker, who led the Fillmore men
TO expel Francis Bates who was present, as no
longer an AmerieSn; the result being 4S for ex-
pulsion to 81 noes. Then there sOas row, the
Fillmore men trying every expedient to break ND
the meeting. Failing in all others they turned
of the gas, and pronounced the council so far as
they were concerned adjourned. The Fremont
party lighted up again, organized by themselves,
and unanimously chose full set Of Fremont
delegates to the state convention.
The successful party then INDUCED in consider
