FREMONT.

1t is curions to observe, that Fremont, the
defunct candidate OF the a Aboitionists, or Free
Soilers, is by birth and associations Il Southern
man. 1t is even said, that he at one time owned
slaves, which is not improbable, as he married
the daughter of a Shareholder, and lived in
slave-holdihg community. It has also been
alleged that he was formerly an avowed advo-
cate of the Fugitive Slave Law. Fremont was
not only a Southern man. but by party allegi-
ance a Democrat A Southern man was select
ed as the most fit instrument for betraying the
South, and one by profession Democrat, upon
the principle of 'tdivide aud conquer "-This
verrifes prediction made long since by Mr.
Jefferson. From this Southern men may learn
the lesson of the Importance of union among
themselves. "A house divided against itself
cannot stand" While minor differences are
fused away by the enemies of the South, let
minor differences be fused away among South
ers themselves, so as to present undivided
front against the Goths aud VanGals of enti

FRAUDS III ILLINOIS.

The census Of 1855 and the vote of the 4th
uit., in several of the northern counties of Illi-
nois carefully compared, show conclusively
(says the Detroit Free Press) that there have
been enormous black-republcan frands perpe-
trated npon the ballot box. In some of the
northern counties three votes were cast for
every five Inhabitants; in others, vote for
every three Inhabitants, aud on an average
about ore vote for every five Inhabitants. Such
is the proportion Of the votes given to the polu-
iation iii the four northern congressional! dis
tricts. In the five southern districts he aver
age proportion is vote to every seven
inhabitants. Tie black-republicans untoubt-
ed!y polcd from ten to twenty Thousand illegal
votes. Under any other state of the case than
that presentcd-of the most startling and as
founding frauds in the four northern congress
sona eiistrctS-Buchanan would have carried
the State by twenty thousand, aud Richardson
by at least fifteen thousand.

THE SAVANNAH CONVENTION.

A Convention comprising delegates from oil
the Southern States was held in Savannah on
last week. It's avowed ostensible design was
to consider the means best adapted to promote
the commercial interests of the South. The
leading topic Of deb ate, however. was a resolu-
tion introduced BY number from Geor-
ga, advocating the policy. of re-opening
the Slave trade. " was supported by gentle
illen from South Carolina, Texas and Virginia.
1t was denounced by others, however nation
al sScendiaryism and was finally, after a heated
debate, '%ISid Oh the table" very wise dis
position Of sGch an inaamatory injudicious
measure.
There are but Few men of education in the
South, VIC believe, who are in favor of restoring
this unchristion commerce in Slaves, against
which every civilized nation has closed it's ports
aud declared une1uivocal hostility. We ques-
tion whether any loyal citizen of the Union would
sanction Su III Il world condemned enterprise AS
a mask for darker purpose it may answer, for
we believed it but transparent design to dis
solve the Union; to fcrment sedition, and to feed
the discord and blaze of northern abolitonism.
But no man believes it to be the sentiment of
the South to continue the African slave tIade.
If this he the object of Southern Commercial
Conventions. .deelasa-theis dangerous
to the safety of the country, and Wish speedy
dscontinuance to such treasohable humbug.
An appeal is made by the South to the
North to come to her support in preserving the
Union; to unite with her on conservative
ground of equal rights and equal justice to every

A SruPFNDous PRoJEcr-Okefenoke swamp
in Georgia, heretofore terra incognita, is at
last about to be explored, with the view of
testing the feasibility Of draining it. The Sa-
vannah Georgian, in speaking of the project
remarks
''The last session of the Georgia Legislature
took action in favor of a survey of the Okefen-
okee swamp, for the purpose of determining,
among other things. the feasibility of draining
it, and thus preparing the way for it's sale and
cultivation. The swamp contains something
like half million of acres many suppose, Of
the richest soil in Georgia 70 the world at
large it is terra incognita. On one side of it
are the head-waters of the Sannee passing down
into the Gnlf; on the other is the ST. Mary's,
emptying into the Atlantic. The presumption
is that the bed of the Okefenokee is more ele-
vated than either and hence that it may be
drained into one or the other
"Mr Hunter of Mieageville, inexperienced
engineer, and gentleman ofs the highest char
acter, has been selected by the Governor to
make the survey. He is now in Savannah with
a corps of assistants, on his way south, and will
enter Immediately upon the discharge of his
duty"

In the northern, part Of America there is Il

to agriculture. 1ncy ave, therefore, import
