"The party here is in most excellent spirits,
united and ready for the battle field. We con-
fdently expect humping majority for Bu-
chanan in Perry county, and have every assu-
rance that Perry county will wheel into the line
and claim her old rank among the strongholds
Of Democracy in Ohio. We can claim great ac-
cessions to our strength here. The Hon. Wm.
T. Fink, late Whig Senator from this district,
is out openly and undisguised for our ticket
George Morris, Esq. is also goingforit. Judge
Mcdonald, Adam Fink, John Talbot, DR.. E. Il.
Magruder R. E. Huston, and large number of
others, all the leaders, at one time, of the Wing
party in Perry, ara now unhesitatingly in favor

pressing their appreciation of the nominees of
the Cincinnati Convention. Perry county will

In connection with this subject call your at

at the expiration of eight months from the date

Mr.. Cells states that it was partly to secure
this loan of money that Lieut.. Col. Fremont
made with him the liberal bargain for cattle, for
which the price is about forty per cent. higher
than the market price at the time, Both ofthese
notes are soon due, and Mr.. Cells is going to
make application for payment, as he claims to
have fulfilled his part of contract for the re-
demption of which the good faith of the Gov
ernment of the United States is pledged by an
officer thereof but the whole transaction, as
shown by the accompanying papers, appears to
me of such character that shall not order
payment of the Money to Mr., Cells, but refer all

may consider proper in the case. 9aaJ -2.HJ

The undersigned certifies that the governor

Fremont, finding himself short of resources for
the support of the armed force which, under his
GO nman1, co.operatel towards the pacifcation
Of the country, solicited from various individu-,
ais loan for the object indicated and the ur-
dersigned having been requested through the
medium of Mr.. Charles Fugge, to furnish pro-
visions and cash, the accompanying contract
took place, the cash having been delivered i'm
mediately without interest, for the term ofeight
months, and the cattle were to be delivered
when they might be wAntel: it being under
stood that the terms of payment should run on
fom the day of the contract, on account of the
cattle being movable property which could not
BE- consumed in two or three months, and be-
sides, was augmenting daily, it chiefly consisting
| of COWS. 1t is likewise lded that the contract
was complied with on the part Of the declarant
to the satisfaction of the 'tgoue'nor" who, not
having time to consu ne said cattle on account
Of having received superior order to deliver up

said cattle to be delivered to Mr. Abel Stearns,

the same number and class at the end of the

The word governor is. italicized. by MS, and
needs not further comment. From the first
invasion of California by the American troops a
large portion of the leading citizens of California
among whom mention Don Pedro c. Carrillo,
Don Jose Carrillo, Pedrorena, Cot and Cells
welcomed our troops with open arms, and will
lingly furnished material aid in establishing the
supremacy Of eur flag in the Eldorado of the
West. In consequence of their sympathy in our
success, any one processing to be an agent of our
government could have obtained the last dollar
that any Of those gentlemen possessed; hence
the facility by which "our governor was ena-
bled to borrow this and other sums from other
individuals.
& The claims Of Don Cot was not allowed by
the Treasury Department and it was presented
to the army board, organized uuder the 9th Sec
tion Of the appropriation act passed August,
1852, who on the 26th Januray 1854 recommen-
ded theallowance in full with two hundred and
forty dollars additional for four months interest
at per cent per month. Congress having made
the necessary appropriation, the claim was al.
lowed by the accounting officers of the treasury
on the 3lst October 1854, and was paid on a
power ofattorney from Cot to Corcoran & Riggs
into whose hands the claim had passed. g..
The Board was induced to allow the claim,
not on account oft legality, but from the fact
that Don Cot loaned the money believing that it
was for the use of the government Of the Uni
ted States, and the board thought 1t unjust that
he should be the victim Of his own patriotism
though he must doubtless have suffered consid-
cradle loss in having it discounted. Col. FIRE.
mont was called upon; but being unauNing or
,,nable Cor at least neglecting so to do) to show
ho,o the money thus bo'ro0ea by him aoas applied
to the savice ofthe government, it was charged
to him upon the books of the department, and
has remained wholly unaccounied for by bin
a claim was allowed Colonel Fremont by the
Secretary Of the Treasury, and il was placed
to his credit upon the before mentioned debit
against him, which, being deducted leaves a
balance of 81, ,986, 81 of the $4,000 (and INTEREST,"
still unacconnted for and standing against the
gallant candidate for President on the books
of the department. 1t is more than probable
that the story current in California will account
for the disbursement of the money borrowed o.
Don Cot, which is, that it went to pay for the
celebrated humbug "Mariposa claim of and a
