OF Some Of the Fusion papers charge
that Gordon Tanner, the Democratic candi-
date for Supreme Court Reporter, is a recent
convert to Democracy from the opposition
ranks. The editor who makes the assertion,
must have been blind 10 be in Ignorance OF
MIR. Tanners politics, since be IS now State
Librarian, and holding it under an election by
a Democratic Legislature. lie was one of the
editors of the Democratic Platform, published
at Indianapolis in 1854, and was subsequent
ly associate editor Of the Democratic Rsvietr.
With this public history, what can we say
OF a newspaper editor who has not heard Of
Tanners politics? This whole community
Of his native county, will vouch for his De
mocracy.-JIcksoa County Democrat.

&Judge Chamberlain, of Elkhart county
is getting to be a great bore. For many years
he was a straight forward democrat, but like
many other egotistical gentlemen, who suffer
their
"vauliing ambition to o'erleap it-elf,r
he now finds fault with the party that has
given him all the consequence he possesses.
For a year or two past he has been in the
habit periodically, of infticting a presy lee
ture ON the democratic party as t. its duties,
but we cannot see that these lectures have
served any other purpose than to show the
captionsness Of their author. The best thing
the Judge can do is to take it easy and wait

anu IhllC ~
only a brief season. Like the ranks Of a de-
voted army, vacancies were more than made
good, by the accession of young and vigorous
minds, from the threshold of manhood, and
he-Democracy stood their ground and main-
tanned their measures.
The only opposition now urged against us
comes from the guerilla forces which took to
fighting "on their own hook" after they
were broken and dispersed, in the contest of
1852. They have, it is true, a common enc
my, but not a common principle ! They can
agree in the offensive, but dare not trust each
other in a common camp, nor in the division
Of the common plumber The war-cry of one
faction wrings a curse from another; and the
b%lazonry upon one banner is secuted by the
followers of another These ill-assorted as
sailants are now illustrating at once their
venom and their imbecility, on the floor OF
the House of Representatives-and furnish
ing evidence of the character we have given
them. The integrity of the Democracy is
proof against all their assaults, and must tri-
nmph in the end.-Richniond Enquirer.

The Triumph OF rnnolnle.

Il is q significant compliment to the De
nocratic party of the cOuutry (says the New
Haven Register-ani We like to endorse and
,lout the language of such sound and ster-
Northern Democratic papers that hone
.or the various factions which 90 to make up
no "opposition' Ia the National Admins
tration. take issue on any Of the measures
which the Democracy have established dur
inc the last twenty years! They DO not ar
r,ian il. MS of old. Oh a false charge Of being
re5lectfnl Of the business interests Of the
country. by the establishment of a revenue
tariff The people have settled down into a
decided commentator of that principle.
The opposition do not charge that the Inde-
pendent Treasury system, is even Of doubtful
proprietv. Business men Of all parties are
convinced of its usefulness and safety. The
oppCsition editors DO not repeat any Of the
old charges with which they once RECALLED
their readers-threatenin all conceivable ills
to the body polite. With the triumphant
working of these prominent Democratic
measures, have ceased the calumnies of the
opposition i'm reference to them and with
the "Ship of State under full Democratic
sail, and under Democratic guidance, no one
presumes to question the correctness of the
chart she sails by, or the capacity of her Off
GERS. The verdict of history will attest alike
the wisdom of the Democratic policy, and
the unreasonable opposition which attended
its Inauguration.
Those, especially, who fought for principle
in the Bank and Tariff wars of a few years
ago, amid torrents of obloquy, have a right to
assume proud remembances Of their tolls, in
the browning triumph which the age con-
cedes to those measures. "To err is human
and parties, as well as individuals, are La
BILE to mistakes and excuses; but what mea-
sure of the Democratic party, so stOutly re-
sisted by its opponents for the last twenty
years, has failed of public approval? In all
these contests, too, the Democracy were con.
tinually suffering by the timidity of some Of
their own partizans, and the detection Of
Others. The clamOr Of the opposition, a

10 get copy of the proceedings
OF the Rail Road meeting held
in the Court House week before

that it was determined by the
meeting that we would pay up
our Stock. James l.. fletch-
er. was appointed Treasurer,
and the delinquent stock-hold-
ers were requested to pay up to
him, the amount OF their stock,
in money or notes, to be hslo
by him in trust for the company
and to be paid over, whenever
the road is located to the town
of Pamela. and the work put un-
der contract. Should the COM
rany fail to do this, then the
money and notes to be returned
n the stockholders, and the
suits, now pending in court, to
proceed to final judgment.
I'VE hope that all will pay now
that the Directors have decided
to come to Pamela. We want
the road and see no further need
of delay. Hurrah for the rail
road to Pamela.

TO THE PUBLIC.

1t is customary on taking
charge of a newspaper for the
Editor, to furnish the public:
with programme of what he in
tends to do. In the present IN
stance must beg to be excn-
sed; as | do not know myself
In purchasing an interest IN the
STAR, | have acted from motives
of public patriotism. Whether
the paper will in fu'ur', become
profitable to me, and useful TO
she public, entirely depends up
on the amount of encourage
ment we receive. All agree as
to tie necessity ofhaving a good
county paper, but all do not feel
that necessity enough to make
them contribute to its support
There is no lack of those who
lament, over the wants OF our
county in this respect and VIII 0
are ready to say-if you estab-
fish a good paper we VIII take
it, but then you cannot expect
support for such a paper, as you
furnish us. In other words they
are like the Irishman, who de-
clared he would not go into the
water again until he had learned
TO swim.
The STAR will continue, q
heretofore, ''lndependent IN al
things and our columns wi
be open to all parties and sects
We want the support of the pee
pie generally without the DIS
tinction ofparty or religion.
Arrangements are being mad
to purchase entire new type II
the paper, and complete as
sortment of Job type. In tt
mean time we solicit the lndu
gence of the public.

the small minority Of our citizens, and the
officers of the law, viii compel them to
stand to their arms until the meeting OF
the next Legislature, when an act of am
nesty will be passed. The cost of the or
ganization is only about $500 day, most
of the duty being performed gratis.

NEW oRK, Aug. %.
The Vigilance Committee on the 29tl
of July hung Jos. Hetherington for the
murder of DR.. Sandal. They also hung a
man named Grace, for murder committed
by him year ago.
Judge Terry was still kept prisoner by
the Cmmittee MIR. Hopkins, the man
whom he stabbed, had recovered.
Several attempts had been made to fire
both San Francisco and Sacramento.
The loss by the Sierra Nevada fire is set
down at s2O0,OOO,000.
The failure of Palmer, Cook d Co. to
pay the State and city coupons of New
York, had created a feeling of indignation
throughout the State, and the State Treas
urer was to provide for the speedy payment
of the overdue interest.
The crops throughout the State were in
a satisfactory condition.
The San Francisco markets We're active
during the early part of the week put closed
dull.
Serious disturbances had occurred in diff
erent parts of the State between Americans
and foreigners.
The latest dates from Nicaragua are to
the 9th inst. The accounts represent the
condition of Walker as very precarious.
A large body of troops from San Saliva
dor and Guatamala were at Leon under the
command of Gen. Cabeno.
Many desertions are reported among
Walkers men, including, it is said, one en-
tire company.
A rebort was current that Walker had re-
voked the exequatur of the British Consul
at Leon
Another attempted revolution in Costa
Rica had been suppressed.

HE HIRES THEM OUT IN ST. LOUIS.

HE HIRES THEM OUT IN ST. LOUIS.
The fact that Col. Fremont is, or has
until recently been STAKEHOLDER, can nc
longer be denied. A gentleman who now
resides in St. Louis, who is well known in
Penn Yam, n. Y, writes to friend in the
latter place:
'Within the past year l have had occa-
sion to transact business with, and have fre-
quently been at the house of Col. Brant,
and several Of the domestics acere frequent
ly pointeS out to me as the Slaves of Col.
Fremont, and these are not all either, as
he Gums many Others, male and female,
hired out IN various parts ofMe city,"
The house of Col. Brant is the place at
which Col. Fremont makes his home when
in st. Louis. The writer of the above par
agraph says:
"Col Brant is a particular friend of mine.
l visit his house frequently. He is man
of great wealth, and married, as you know,
the sister of Col. T. H. Benton, and also
makes his home there since Mrs. Benton's
decease."
The Providence Post adds to this testi-
mony-"That Col. Fremont did own slaves
three months before his nomination had
been proved. That he does NOW OWN
SEVENTY-FIYE is positively asserted
by the Hillsdale Gazette"
The above article was used extensively
throughout this County by Buchaniers-
the stump speakers, especially, dwell upon
this evidence, and insisted, although Mr..
Fremont had said that he "never owned
one dollar in human fesh," that he was
at the present time STAKEHOLDER. Mr..
Samuel Gautt, of Savannah, in this county,
having obtained copy of the article, sent
it to Col. Brant, of st. Louis, enquiring as
to its truth. In reply Col. Brant wrote as
follows:
ST.. LOUIS, Aug. II, 1856.
SAMUEL GAUTT, Eso.-Dear Sir-In
reply to your note and slip, l have to say
that Col. John c. Fremont to my knowl-
edge never owned Saye, nor has be had
slaves in or about my house, neither has
he had slaves hired out in this City, Coun-
ty or State.
The writer for the newspaper has, doubt
less. HliSiiihen CaptaIn JacOD, OF hentucky,
for Fremont, who also married daughter
of Thos. H. Benton, and moved with his
family and slaves to Boone Co, Mo-, and
some two years since returned to Kentucky
with his negroes. He usually, as did Col.
Fremont, srop at my house.
My wife is the daughter of Samuel Ben
ton, deceased, of Texas, and neice of
Thos II. Benton, of No.
So much for the veracity of the writer of
tbs slip sent me, which is false in every
part and portion, gotten up for bad pur-
poses-hence l am induced to give it flat
contradiction, but hereafter shall not re-
ply to such trash, Col. Fremont being fully
able to defend himself against these news
paper ISLANDERS.
Respectfully, your obedient
j. b. BRANT.
The original letter from Col. Brant may
be seen at this Office.
