FREMONT AS A LEGIsLAroR.--Col. Fre-

persistence. he urged through the Senate

In the world, and settled it for the benefit

The SPIRIT IN New YoRK.-An honest
Democratic mechanic of Syracuse, went
to Kansas to secure home for himself
and family, but finding that he could not
stay in peace and enjoy the rights of an
American citizen. he returned. The fol-
lowing extract of letter from his wife to
her mother in Cleveland, shows how COM
pletely the Border Rufianism of Atchison,
Stringfellow & Co., cured him of his
Pierce and Buchananism. So of all Kan
sas Free State Democrats. The lady
writes:
"WILL never was so absorbed in po.
litical campaign as at present. Fremont
is all the rage with him. and his ardor m
creases every day. He says II he lives
he shall vote for Fremont if he does not,
| must go and deposit his vote for him.
I think this is being quite aroused"

HEAR AN OH LINE WHIa TALK.-The
Louisville Journal, edited by George d.
Prentice. the personal and political friend
for many years of the Sage OF Ashland,
thus fires into the Buchaniers
"We see that some of Mr.. Buchanan's
friends promise to clear up the charge
against him in relation to his conduct to-
wards Mr.. Clay in the memorable affair
of 1926. We, en- the other hand, prom
ise to drive those charges home upon him
with strength of evidence that neither
he nor his friends can gainsay. The
whole is not yet told, but the whole Will
be. And what shall be TOLD will be
PROVED. Such facts will be exhibited
and established as will cause every hu-
man being, who either respects the mem-
ory of Henry Clay or scorns infamous
corruption and scandalous injustice, to
turn away from James Buchanan with
loathing and adherence.
If the members of the Cincinnati Con-
vention had had no other purpose under
heaven in view than to insult and outrage
the feelings and shock the moral sense Of
every Old Line Wing and friend of Hem
ry Clay. they would undoubtedly have
done exactly what they did do--they
would have nominated James Buchanan
for the Presidency"

A Contrast,

ture honored them with reception in
the Capitol of that State. But Buchanan,
then high priest of Federalism, and an
intense hater Of the war and all who par
.icipated in it, refused to remain in his
seat while the ceremony of receiving the
gallant mechanics was proceeding!
When Fremont's soldier companions
were dying amid SHOWS and starvation on
the Rocky Mountains, and when the few
survivors, worn out and exhausted, una

gallant Fremont proceeded alone and on

GERRIT SMITH TEsTIF1Es.-The BucH-
aneers of Madison county had a story in
circulation that Mr.. Fremont was slave
holder, and tried to excuse themselves by
that plea for aiding in the extension Of
slavery. Mr.. Smith was asked to state
what he knew on the point, and here is
his letter:
PETERBoRo, June 90. 1856.
L. B. KERN, Esq.-Dear Sir: ! lam per-
sonally acquainted with Col. Fremont
and his wife. They are both opposed 10
Slavery. I know from her own lips that
she is strongly opposed to it. 1t may be,
5m I do not think 1t possible. that Col.
Fremont has been a STAKEHOLDER.
Mrs. Fremont once told nae thst her
mother taught her children to dislike
slavery. She was the wife of Col. Ben
ton, and the sister of Gov. Mcdowell. Of
Virginia.

"Give ,em JESSIE"

At an impromptu gathering of Ere.
monters up town the other evening, an
enthusiastic advocate of the Rocky Noun
taiu candidate put it to the crowd, whe-
ther it were not better 10 send man to
the White House who had completed his
humanities by marrying an accomplished
woman, than to send there such a rusty
old bachelor as Buchanan, whose domes-
tic hospitalities could only be seasoned
with the doubtful graces of some hired
housekeeper? At this interrogatory, a
gentleman present, who remembered the
maiden name of Mrs. Fremont (Jessie

JESSIE" T" This felicitous double enten-
DIRE only needs to be published to become
the watchword Of the campaign !; and the
Mirror takes the liberty of adding. that if
the gallantry of the country demanded a
queen at the head Of the nation, the love-
ly lady of the Republican nominee would
command the universal suffrages of the
people. She is woman as eminen tly
fitted to adorn the White House as she
has proved herself worthy to be hero's
bride. The splendid compliment paid by
Burke to that ill-fated queen of France,
whom he first saw as the Dauphiness at
Versailles, will apply to Mrs. Fremont
Beautiful graceful, intellectual, and enthu
siastic, she will make more proselytes to
