So much for that. George Washington

50 far the Fillmore and the Democratic par

The STATESMAN AND THE ENTER

James Buchanan served his fellow citizens

future eminence. Fremont at this time was
one year old.
In 1920 James Buchanan wss elected to
the House Of Representatives. Fremont Il
this time was years old, progressing rap

In 1881, Gen. jackson, an "0ld Federal,

What they wantii

The New York Herald before it was
bought up by Fremont, used the following
language
Is is not freedom that these black, woolIy
headed rascals want, or liberty that the
white-livered, palc-faced, canting scoundrels
of agitators mean. 1t is the refined society,
1t is the soft hand, it is for social equality,
black with white.
Under the garb of religion and liberty, the
abolitionists and infdels, Fanny Wright,
that he-woman, and Lewis Tappan, the She
man, mean to confound all colOrs, all races,
all misunderstanding the manners, intel
lect and compilations who grace this lovely
earth, with the same deep, dingy, eternal
dark-brown in morals, dark-brown in smell.
