In ANOTHER STEw-The Pioneer is aw-
fully afraid that Col. Fremont will be nomi-
mated as the opposing candidate of "Ten
cent Jimmy, "-says that Fremont was never
identified with the party who oppose the
extension Of Slavery, and states several other
falsehoods too numerous to mention. Who
does not know, that but for the influence
and exertions Of Fremont, California would
have been Slave State to-day? Keep your
equanimity neighbor; the more you howl
against the gallant conqueror of the Mexican
and negro powers in California, and the now
bold champion of Free Kansas, the worse il
will be for you.

The Pioneer disputes the assertion of Mr.
Redpath-whom it denounces as a seoun-
drel," because he likes white Freedom better
than he docs negro slavery-that Governor
Shannon has left Kansas. 1t hunts up some
old telegraphic despatch to prove that Shan
non is still at Leavenworth. We made the
assertion that he had left the territory upon
Mr. Redpath's authority, and we will believe
it true until the Pioneer has better evidence
than its own simple word to the contrary.

A very large meeting was held at Rock
Island on the evening of the 18th inst, to
listen to speeches by Gen. Lane, of Kansas,
and Joseph Knox, of that city. It is esti-
mated that 5000 persons were present, and
great enthusiasm prevailed.
Mr.. Knox said that although he had been
apersonal friend of Mr.. Douglas and Pierce
elector in 1852, he could no longer act with
the Democratic party, and he gave in his ad-
hesion to true Republicanism.

The GERMAN Press ON BUcHANAN.-The
New Yorker Demokrat, the organ of large
and highly respectable class of Democratic
Germans in the city of New York and
throughout the state, has the following in
regard to the nomination of Mr.. Buchanan ::
Buchanan stands, therefore, in double
faced capacity on the great Cincinnati plat
form, and if he should become the occupant
of the White House, would have to betray
one party though which that may be will
depend on circumstances, lie understands
perfectly how to adapt his garments to the
weather. is to be regretted that MIR. Blu
chanan was not nominated and elected Pre-
sident in 1852, because then he would only
have represented the party of the fugitive
slave law, which had no important influence
upon the freedom of the territories. We do
not believe that under his administration the
Nebraska bill would have passed. At this
moment he is the representative of that par
ty which has committed all the atrocities in
Kansas, and directly defends by its platform
the extension of slavery, This will lose Mr..
Buchanan many thousand votes which other
wise would have been given to the demo-
cratic candidate, Even his name is not able
to remedy this evil. Thousands of old Dem
ocrats will vote, not against Buchanan, but
against the party which he represents, and
this loss cannot be made up again from all
those who spit upon the platform and vote
for Buchanan,

The main question Is, what are the pros.
poets If the campaign We anticipate one
of the most exciting, tumultuous and revo-
lutionary political contests in all the history
of the republic. Many of our hopeful dem
ocratic fellow-citizens affect to believe that
there will hardly be fight-that Mr.. Blu
chanan, with hardly show of resistance,
will walk over the course. We have only to
say, looking calmly over the whole field, that
for all such as entertain the belief thai there
will be no struggle, the doors of some luna
tic asylum had better be left open at once.
We have no doubt of the fact that vast
majority of the American people, in the pre-
sent distracted condition of the country are
opposed to the democratic party, as debauch-
ed and demora lied under the malign inau-
ence of this Pierce administration and we
believe that there would still exist major
ity of the American people opposed to the
ratification of the debaucheries of this cor
rupted party, even if they should nominate
as their representative an angel from heaven.
This is our conviction and our belief.
Grant that as an honest man and states
man, Mr.. Buchanan is a fair nomination, and
that he is UNNECESSARILY superior to men of
such small calibrc as Pierce and his Forney-
Kitchen Cabinet, the impressive evidences
are yet all around us of an impending revo-
luton. We shall have a revolution-we
must have revolution for a sweeping re-
volution is as necessary at times to purify
the political atmosphere as is summer
thunder gust to clear away the miasma and
corrupting exhalation of long sickly siege
of the dog days.
We say that there is majority of the
American people throughout the Union OPP
posed to the democratic party, as democrat
lied under the wicked and imbecile admins
tration of Mr.. Pierce. Whether the various
and homogeneous elements, active and pass
i've, which enter into the composition of this
majority can be fused into practical shape
for political action at this time remains to be
seen. The Northern anti-Film ore Know
Nothing Convention which meets here on
the 18th instant, and the coalition anti
slavery Convention which meets at .Phila-
delphia on the 18th, will have for this con-
test, the solution of the problem in their
hands. R e3 fassar lss
