Two Hundred and Fifty Demo-
Gratis.

The Detroit .Adyertiser of the goth inst.
publishes an address to the Democrats Of
Michigan, signed by two hundred and fifty
Democrats of Michigan, expressing their
determination to vote for Col. Fremont,
and giving their reasons for so doing. The
address commences as follows;
"In view of the almost irrrparable inju-
ries that have been inflicted upon our Dem
ocratic institutions, the long-establshed
principles of the Democratic party, and the
peace and prosperity of our beloved eoun-
try, BY the Administration of Franklin
Pierce, and the still greater injury threat
ened by the election of James Buchanan,
who has given his unqualified and cordial
approval to all its wicked measures, and
stands solemnly pedged, as well BY his own
declaration as by the Cincinnati Platform.
1--WE tie undersigned, who sare mni
formly acted Nth the Democratic party,
and ocho voted for Franklin Pierce an ls-
50, feel 1t to be our day as Democrats, as
friends of our country, and as good eiti-
Gems, publicly to declare our determination
to oppose IN every honorable way, the cleo
ton of James Buchanan, and to gire our
Influence and our rotes 10 John C. Ere
mont, and to set forth the reasons wkieh
hare impelled us 20 this course"
We have taken the liberty to italicise
the last paragraph. Referring to this ac-
cession to the ranks of the Republican
party the Detroit -4drertiser says:
"The Republicans of Michigan extend to
their brethren the cordial right hand, in To-
ken that they feel the cause to be honored
and strengthened by their accession, in pro-
portion far greater than relate to the num-
Der of votes to be cast by them. They
welcome them as of the very flower of the
old Democratic party, not hackneyed polit-
icians, and disafected and disappointed
sore-heads, but as fresh elements of heal
thy and spontaneous growth from living
principle, ever present with the true DEM
ocraey of the United States, and never lost
sight of, until their councils were divided
their strength reduced, and their selfespect
by men who perfered their own
to the common welfare,
who could see no way to attain it but q
blind and abject subservience to slavery,
and to that sectional party which seeks,
by its extenion, to prolong its political
sway"
Thus the work goes bravely on. Tho

the men of all parties are now rallying a

Mr.. FiIlmore,s Albany Speech.

AS much pains has been taken to explain
away Mr.. Fillmore's Albany speech, and
as there are those who yet do not believe
that he asserted that the Union would be
dissolved in case Fremout should be cleo
ted, we make an extract from that speech.
as given in pamphlet issued by the Fill
more party. Mr.. Fillmore said:
awe see political party presenting can
didates for the Presidency and Vice-Presi-
dency, selected for the first time from the
Free States alone, with the avowed pur-
pose of electing those candidates by the
sutfrages of one part of the Union only, to
rule over the whole United States. Can
it be.possible that those who are engaged
in such measure can have seriously re-
fected upon the CONSEQUENCES
WHICH MUST INEVITABLY FOL-
LOW in case of success! Can they have
the madness or the folly to believe that
our Southern brethren would submit to
be governed by such Chief Magistrate
Suppose that the
South, having the majority Of the elector-
al votes, should declare that they would
only have shareholders for President and
Vice President, and should elect such by
their exclusive suffrages to rule over us at
the North. Do you think we would sub
init to it? No not for moment. And
do YOU believe that your Southeren breth-
ren are less sensitive on this subject than
you are, or less jealous of their rights! If
you do, let me tell you that you are mis-
taken' therefore you must see that if this
sectional party succeeds, it leads inevitably
to the DESTRUCTION OF THIS GEAUTI-
FUL FABRIcK reared by our forefarhers,
cemented by their blood, and bequeath-
ed to us as priceless inheritance. i +
y And let me add, that when
this Union is dissolved, it will not be di-
vided into two republics, or two monarch
les, but be broken into fragments, and at
war with each other"

training liquor law, and substitute one to regulate

ter Sessions shall hear the applications, and the

Tire casa Of mr. Cramptor.

The London Shipping Gazette discusses
the case of Mr. Champion at some length,
and closes with this language:
''Mr. Champion, although not publicly i'm
peached, is openly charged with having taken
advantage of his position at foreign court to
transgress, and encourage others TO violate,
the laws of the country in which he Is resi-
dent. To this charge Mr.. Champion has as
vet voucbsafed no answer. The United States
government, therefore, reasonably asks for
explanation and satisfaction. Mr.. Champion
has hitherto, by the manner In which he has
discharged the important functions entrusted
to him, secured the esteem of every member
of the Cabinet of Washington, and generally
of the American people and when the accu-
sations were brought against him, his simple
denial would have no doubt been satisfactory
to the American government. The British
Minister, however, refused to make any an
swer to the charges until he had communica-
ted with the government at home, and, hav-
ing so communicated, finally decided upon
saving nothing, either in explanation. exten-
uation. or defence of his conduct. What
other course was open to the United States
Governments than to require from the British
Government the explanations which the Brit
ish Minister refused TO give? And what
reason can possibly induce the British Gov
ernmeut to decline giving such explanation
Either Mr.. Champion has transgressed the
neutrality laws of the United States, or he
has not. If he has not, what so easy as to
say so? Why has the settlement of the mat
ter been delayed long? Why leave so
unpleasant question open one just pre-
viously to the publication of the Presidents
Message? This document has, no doubt,
been delayed until Mr. Bucbanan's dispatches
arrived, SO that the dispute between the two
Governments could have been referred to as
past, if mentioned at all. But if the report
to which we have directed attention be true,
and the British Government have really de-
clined to giTe the required explanations, we
cannot be surprised if such conduct be aliu
ded TO in the Message with asperity, and the
dismissal of Mr.. Champion should close the
first scene of very unpleasant if not a dis
creditable transaction"

From the Washington Union. !
The Old Guard can Never Surrender.

In the present situation Of parties, 1t Is I'M
possible to estimate too highly the importance
of the approaching political contest Never
was graver more vital issue presented to
the American people than that which must in
evitably enter into the Presidential canvass of
1856. This issue is union or diSuRiOa. We
speak not as an alarmist, but in the honest
conviction that nothing bat the triumph Of
the Democratic party can save the country
from an Abolition President Never wee
the enemies OF the constitution and the Union
stronger, more determined, or more favored
by circumstances, than they will then be.
For years fauaticism, political, social and reil-
gious, has left no effort untried to destroy the
constitution and its friends. For this aim
they are marshalling their every man to make
one last great effort The country and the
constitution have but one hope but one friend,
the Democratic party 1t battles for no mere
party ascendency, but for the constitution. In
defence of this noble instrument il enters the
contest Its cause is the cause of the Union
the constitution and the Union, one and in
separable. By these they have lived; by
those they will conquer or they VIII tall-for
the Old Guard can never sure nder Its proud
banner, Our cause is a glorious one, and
with proud and willing heart viii every true
be fierce. but the victory will be all the proud
er for that The hopes of the people are in
the Democracy, and their eyes are fixed upon
them as they marshal their tried men for bat
tie. They expect to see every Dsmocret at
his post, aud ready for action. Our enemies
are harmless while we remain true to our
selves Dissension and division alone can
defeat us Theses then, are the enemies we
have most to guard against. United-of one
heart, of one mind, and of one faith-the
great national Democratic party may defy all
the combined hosts of fanaticism. Now all is
bright before us. Each day that comes shows
us the old legions which time and again have
done battle in the good old cause, wheeling
into line all eager for the fray. And when
the battle signal sounds to the music Of the
aloft its proud banner in spite of all its foes
comtined-for the old Guard can nevcr sur
render.
