Make Room for Bennett Aga n.

BENNETT is, in many things, most infa-
NOUS scoundrel, but he manages somehow to
make his scoundrelism and his interest run
in the same current. His interest now is to
elect FREMosT consequently he will do or
say nothing that can lessen or injure his pros
poets. Whatever he says, therefore, IN con-
nection with his candidate for the Presi-
dency, is TO be regarded as good evidence in
the hands of his opponents.
Having said this much, we wish to call atten-
ton to the monstrous fabrications that are got
up by political knaves and palmed of upon
an unsuspecting public as truthful biographies
of Fremont. Speaking of these. the Herald
says:
The so-called lives of Fremont, with one ex-
ception, are execrable they are beyond exam
pie the most atrocious attempts at murder that
We have ever seen in the way of biography
There has been one written by Mr.. Bigelow
and another by Mr.. Upham We have looked
into these volumes, and really cannot conceive
that it would be possible to produce anything
more calculated to iDlure' and weaken the can

Blockhsads should nevsr be politicians, partic-

like those of this country.
Upon this exposure of the Herald, the
Ohio Statesman makes the following sharp
and pithy comment:
That these lives, hunting into the UNEMPLOYED
and unexplorable private history of Fremont
and his parents, have been the cause of the
many articles in the public pa. ,ers, aiding IL
the mysterious hunt after an untarnished his
tory, Il most true, and why not If it were
necessary TO start up the indecent question Of

From all accounts Mr.. ENGLISH is doing

speaks. This district will give a good ac-
count of herself in the State election, largely

The opposition papers are loud in their
denunciations of the President, because he
has given orders to repel invasion and :nsur-
rection in Kansas. The "howl'' now is that
the " Free State mon of the Territory are
to be Subdued and driven out by the United
States Government. If free State men,
are found in open rebellion against the gov
eminent, and are stirring up violence and
disorder among the people, they will, I'M
doubtedly, be arrested and punished. If
"border ruffians" from Missouri, or any
otherquartcr, are guilty Of like offences, they,
too, will receive tho same treatment. Both
classes come equally within the scope of
the Presidents instructions to Gov. GEARY
and Gen. SMITH.
The telegraphic dispatch from the State
Department to Gov. g., on the 9th, in view
Of the retaliatory movements which LANES
outrages have excited, on the part of the
Missourans, directs him Ito maintain the
public peace and bring to punishment all
acts of violence and disorder by whomsoever
perpetrated." No military operations will
be carried on in Kansas, otherwise than I'M
der bis instructions and orders. Hence he
is instructed not to permit the employment
of militia or any armed bodies of men, I'M
less they have been regularly mustered into
the service of the United States.
The policy of the President is too well
known to leave the freedom shriekcrs' a
peg to hang howp on. Every well dispo-
sed citizen in Kansas and out of it, will
sanction and sustain the President in his ef-
forts to restore quiet and preserve order
None but traitor to his country and to hui
mainly would rejoice in a continuance of the
scenes that have followed each other in
quick succession, since LANE raised the flag
of civil war and rebellion upon its soil. The
cry now raised, that the " free State men"
Of Kansas are to be subdued and driven
from the Territory, is an open acknowledge
ment that they are in rebellion against the
government, and are committing violence
and outrage upon the people. But large
majority of the free State men" Of Kan
sas have nothing to do with the robberies,
murders, and other acts of fiendish barbarity
that have marked the entrance, among them,
of JIM LANE and mis- hired legion of DULLES
and cut-throats. Hundreds and hundreds
of free State men" in Kansas are just as
anxious to see peace and order restored in
that territory, as the political agitators out of
Kansas are to see riot disorder, violence and
outrage kept up there to furnish political
capital for the campaign.
Those who are for anarchy and blood-shed
will, Of course, denounce the President and
the local authorities in Kansas. Those who
are in favor Of law ard order, will sustain
him and them.

sentiments OF the British Press to be
Kept Before the American People
what the British Expect by the
Election of Fremont.
The London Leader, liberal English pa
per, Of late date, makes the following highly
important revelation. 1t says:
awe know that the Abolitionism of the
Garrisons and men of that stamp, has been
fostered and excited by the Abolitionist in
cendiaries of Great Britain, who would have
sacrificed the American Republic rather than
not carry out one dogma in their own way.
The latest news from the United States indu-
ces us TO suppose that the external intrigues
which have found their accomplices in the
Union are entirely without prospect Of sue
cess. Already the politicians of England and
Europe are reckoning that the American peo-
pie will elect an Anti-Slavery President, who
will send around the brand of discord, as the
burning branch used to be sent to rouse the
clans of Scotland"
Now, read what the London Chronicle, an
English Tory paper, says in late number ::

the obnoxious institutions as they exist, AND
THE UNITY OF THE STATES. There

&The hollow-hearted hypocrisy of che
pseudo philanthrophist of the Black Repub-
lican party is, in nothing, more manifest
than in the wall which they are continually
sending mp, over bleeding Kansas" They
can shed their crocodile tears over the wrongs
of that unhappy territory, and yet the first
step that is taken to quell disturbance and
punish outrage, is me! with their fierce de-
nunciation and open opposition. They can
groan and weep when Kansas suffers, and yet
they would heartlessly expose her to the
fury of the insatiate band of semi-demons
who are infesting her borders like a scourge
Such is Black Republican philanthropy !
The shallowness Of their pretensions is too
apparent to deceive any one who has head
to think or heart to feel. Their intolerable
hypocrisy is too bare-faced to shield them
from the hearty execration of every man who
respects honesty and has due regard for the
peace, safety and well-being of society
They will be spurned by every right-think-
ing man as enemies to the people and trait
ors to the government of their country.

0T The story of the massacre of eighty free
state men at Stranger Creek, which appear
ed in Chicago on Thursday, and reached here
on Saturday, we judge from the above to be
false, or greatly exaggerated. Ii has the
look of having been started as a hoax, to
throw discredit on the real occurrences in the
Territory, which are certainly bloody and
painful enough.-Journal
Any man who can lay claim to even
moderate share of shrewdneSs and discrimi-
nation, would have judged the Stranger
Creek" affair to be false, without any coun-
ter statement to prove it such.
1t carried evidence of its falsity on its own
face, and yet Black Republican papers were
most eager to make all possible use of it to
excite the prejudices and harrow up the feel
ings of such as are weak enough to be duped
by their shallow articles. The Bulletin
board at the News Room, we noticed, was
Sraced with the most horrifying tale, and
was surrounded, all the afternoon, on Satur-
day, by scores of people anxious to learn
the latest news from Kansas.
The idea of the Journal that the story was
started as hoax to throw diScredit upon the
real occurrences in the Territory, is original
with the editor of that sheet and is every
way verify of its paternity. The tale was
manufactured in the Office of the Chicago
Tribune, the great laboratory Of all the Kan
sas iniquities that are needed to keep the
Black Republican electioneering machinery
moving. 1t is quite likely that that delect-
able abolition sheet would get up an incred-
ible story for the express purpose Of throwing
doubt upon the truth of real occurrences in
Kansas A most logical conclusion, that

When Rome's teeming millions came forth
as one man to greet the return Of Cicero from
exile, and made the blue vault of the Italian
sky ring with their shouts of triumph, it was
a sight so glorious and inspiring that the great
orator himself declared that one hour of such
life was worth a whole eternity Of common
existence. But the p@ans of exultation which
heralded the return of Cicero were but faint
whispers compared to the jubilant anthems
of Joy with which James Buchanan will be
borne to the Presidential chair, amid the
happy hopes of upited people.
Oar illustrious standard bearer is the repre-
sentative of moral and political truths which
wake to perish never which neither knavery
nor folly nor fanaticism can utter y abolish or
