Fillmore in Massachusetts.

The junior editor of the Albany Statesman at
tended the recent Convention at Springfield, and
thus refers to the action of the true Americans
who seeded from the Fremonters:
The proceedings promised to inaugurate an au-
spcious feature is the political prospects of Massa-
chusetts
| am obliged to cut short here my report in or
der TO send forward what have written.
In conclusion would say that the Fremont men
were disappointed. They succeeded in obtaining
representatives from only about one-third Of the
State. The Fillmore strong holds refused to send,
regarding the whole thing trick; and yet nearly
one-half of the Convention were for Fillmore.
The Fillmore party viii now organize the State
thoroughly, and the event is regarded as an auspi-
cious one for the cause.
The Springfield American, a true, manly Ameri.
can Journal with national sentiments and sectional
antipathies, has raised the American flag.

convention 10 large numbers, and contrived to al
low SS7 delegates 10 cast 447 votes. This piece Of

The Enteiligencer of Friday contains the follow
ing contradiction OF false statement in that pa.
per of the I'd instant:
MrssRs. EpIroRs Under the heading Of 60
cal Matters" in your issue Of the I'd instant, we
notice the following reflection upon the George
town Fillmore and Donelson Club, which attended
the mass meeting on Monday night last. 1t is as
follows:
As the Georgetown division of the crowd
passed the Mayors residence, his door was sal,ted
with heavy stones"
We, the undersigned, members of said Club and
Marshals OF the delegation upon that occasion. beg
leave to say that the statement is devoid of truth
and altogether unfounded in point of fact. We
hope this plain denial win relieve the Georgetown
delegation OF the disgrace which would attach to
any such proceedings. To our personal knovl
edge, In which we are confirmed by the subsequent
voluntary evidence of members of the Aux;liarv
Guard, no stones were thrown, and perfect order
and decorum characterized the movements of the
procession over which we had charge.
BY publishing the above you win oblige the
Fillmore and Donelfon Club OF Georgetown, and
all who live on this side Of Rock Creek who are
identified with the American party.

A Humbug.

The New York News thus discourseth of Ere
mont and his follies:
To show how Colonel Fremont was regarded by
such an old trapper as Captain Bridger, of Fort
Bridger, we have heard an eye witness relate an
interview between Captain Bridger and the cap
tain of a company of emigrants at Fort Bridger in
l849 Captain b. visited the emigrant camp to
see if the emigrants wanted to buy mules or any.
thing else for their trip; and while in camp he
happened to see man reading book. He asked
if that was Fremont's book; on being told II was,
he said:
"Well, what does he say? Has he written
down all the yarns in that book that he was told
in these partss reckon not !; for it would make
bigger book than that. The boys used to have
great sport with him, telling him awful yarns all
the time looking as sober as judges. The fact is,
they looked on him as an overgrown school boy
playing mountaineer."
He also said " They tell me Fremont is looked
upon as big man in the States"
The reply was Yes" and he said
"Wel, can only say timber for making big
men must be getting scarce in the settlements"
Fremonts attempt to discover new pass
through the Rocky Mountains in winter, and the
dreadfully disastrous results that followed that
fool-hardy attempt, (Which his enthusiastic admi-
rers forget to mention, prove more clearly than
words can, that the estimate formed of him by
mountain men, who had passed most of their lives
in the mountains was about the correct measure
of his merit. Was there ever such an unneces-
sary and wanton waste of life known in this coun.
try, as to take body Of men (trusting in his sup.
posed ability, and knowledge of the country and
life) on trip into the Rocky Mountains, at sea-
son of the year when he knew, or should have
known, that the dangers of the trip are thousand
times greater than in summer; that the snow often
falls to such depth as to bury up men and mules
in single night, bringing certain death to all
What was the result Of that reckless and inhulnan
undertaking? The bones Of his credulous follow
ers lay bleaching among the rocks where they fell
unhonored and unknown; while their leader,
whose recklessness has made many log cabin on
the frontier the home of sorrow, is aspiring to the
first office in the gift of the people, on the single
claim of his glorious expeditions In the Rocky

The Boston Pilot, while vouchng for Fremont's
Romanism, says, in recent number:
"We trust no Catholic officer will be driven out
of the Army by the unrelenting bigotry of dotard
Commander-in-chief. And we trust that if the
Chief Bishop 1.-THE Pope) requests him (Buchanan)
to extend his protection to Catholics, he will treat
his envoy with decent respect, and punish the an,
derlings (Americans) who dare TO trample on the
constitution in order to persecute Catholics. No
man shall receive my vote who is not PLEDGED
to do US CATHOLICS justice in the Army and
Navy, and not lend himself directly or indirectly,
to any persecution Of u.s."
The Boston Pilot is the Roman Catholic organ
of New England, and is well known to be one Of
the ablest Catholic journals in the country, and to
speak by authority.

foregoing letter with those set forth in the follow
ing extract rom his letter Of acceptance, just pub
lished:
The agitation on the question Of domestic sla-
very has too long distracted and divided the PEG
pie Of this Union and alieDatad their affections
from each other This agitation has assumed
many forms since its commencement, but II now
seems TO be directed chiefly to the Territories !;
and Judging from It's present character, think We
may safely anticipate that il is rapidly approaching
a hnality." The recent legislation of Congress
respecting domestic slavery, derived, as 1t has
been, from the original and pure fountain Of legt-
innate political power, the viii Of the majority,
promises ere long to allay the dangerous excite
ment. This legislation Is founded upon prin-
ciples, as ancient as free government ITSELF and
In accordance with them, has simply declared
THAT THE PEOPLE OF A TERRITORY, LIKE
THOSE or A STATE, SHALL DECIDE FOR
THEMSELVES, WHETHER SLAVERY SHALL
OR SHALL NOT EXIST WITHIN THEIR Linn
IT'S"
So late, then, as l84S, Mr.. Buchanan believed
that Congress possessed soversign and exclusive
power to legislate upon the subject of slavery
within the Territories.
That is exactly the doctrine of Wilmot, of Gid
dngs, Grow, Greeley, Weed, Van Buren,, Dix, and
Co., of this day. We defy the astutest Of the De-
mocracy to detect and expose shade of real diff.
ference between the power of Congress as claimed
by Buchanan in the foregoing letter, and that
power as this day advocated by the Black Repub-
licans. The Southern Democracy are nice set
Of birds, truly, to be constantly talking of the
rights of the South and of the aoant of nationality
of the Americans. They have nationality, haven't

Accepting squatter sovereignty as Democratic
doctrine wallowing with the Buffalo platform
builders of l84s, and acknowledging them a. an
integral part Of the Simon Pure Democratic ma
tonal party, and adopting the candidate for the
Presidency a political man who has vibratcd be-
tween the Wilmot Proviso and squatter sovereign
ty-" everything by turns and nothing long"-the
claim of the Southern Democracy to longer con-
tinuance Of Southern confidence, must rest upon
the idea that the people have not intelligence
enough to detect their want Of honest and straight
forward rectitude in the political chart by which
they wish to steer. The Southern people may be
deluded and led away by favorites who are false,
and by party names; they may be induced to
abandon their interests for party purposes but we
intend they shall have the most perfect record Of
James Buchanan's public life that has ever been
exhibited of any living man. They will have none
but themselves to blame when they afterwards
discard Fillmore to take Buchanan.

The " higs of Kentucky.

The Wing Convention in Kentucky mustered
gentlemen from sepenteen counties out Of the one
hundred and four counties of that Commonwealth.
They determined that's Wbig National Convention
was unnecessary, and that every Wing should vote
in the Presidential contest as he thought proper.
They declared against the Importation of foreign
paupers and criminals, and in favor of a national
extension of the residence necessary to naturalisa-
ton, and by a divided vote they declined to com
NIT the Wings for Fillmore and Donelson.
1t makes but little difference where Mr.. Dixon
and his associates 60 in the pending contest. We
have no doubtrthat they will be unable to detach
any considerable influence from Mr.. Fillmore in
Kentucky. Our advices are strong that Kentucky
Is safe for the American nominees and that Fill
more stock is rising with unprecedented rapidity.
