LETTER TO COL. FREMONT.
Philadelphia, June 10, 1856.
Sir: A Convention of Delegates, assem-
bled at Philadelphia, on 18th, 18th and
10Th days of June, 1926 under call ad-
dressed to the people of the United States,
without regard to past political differences
or divisions, who are opposed to the repeal
of the Missouri Compromise, to the policy
of the present Administration, to the extern
sion of Slavery into Free Territory, in favor
of the admission of Kansas as Free State,
and of restoring the action of the Federal
Government to the principles of Washing
ton and Jefferson, adopted declaration Of
principles and purposes for which they are
united in political actiOn-a copy of which
we have the honor to inclose-and unani-
mously nominated you as their candidate
for the office of the President Of the Uni
ted States at the approaching election, as
the chosen representatives, those principles
in this important political contest, and with
the assured conviction that you would give
them full practical operation, should the
suffrage of the people of the Union place
you at the head of the National Govern
ment.
The undersigned were directed by the
Convention to communicate to you the fact
of your nomination, and to request you in
their name, and, as they believe, in the
name of large majority of the people of
the country, to accept it.
Offering you the assurance of our high
personal respect, we are, yourfellow citizens,

Dor the country secured to it by solemn
covenant, cannot be TOO soon disarmed of
its pernicious force. The only genial re-
gion left to the emigraDts of the Northern
States for homes cannot be conquered from
the Free Laborers who have long considered
it as set apart for them in our inheritance,
without provoking desperate struggle
Watever may be the persistence of the
particular class which seems ready to
hazard everything for the success of
the unjust scheme it has partially effect
ed, firmly believe that the great heart
Of the nation, which throbs with the patriot
ism of the Freemen of both sections, will
have power to overcome it. They will look
to the rights secured to them by the Con
stitution of the Union as the best safeguard
from the oppression of the class which, by
a monopoly of the Soil and of Slave Labor
to till it, might in time reduce them to the
extremity of laboring upon the same terms
as the slaves. The great body of Non
Slaveholding Freemen, including those of
the South, upon whose welfare Slavery is
an oppression, will discover that the power
of the General Government over the Public
Lands may be benefcially exerted to ad-
vance their interests and secure their indie
pendence: knowing this, their suffrages will
not be wanting TO maintain that authority
in the Union which is absolutely essential
to the maintenance of their own liberties,
and which has more than once indicated the
purpose of disposing ofthe Public Lands in
such way as would make every settler up
on them freeholder
If the People intrust to me the admins
tration of the Government, the laws of Con
gress in relation to the Territories shall be
faithfully executed. All its authority shall
be exerted in aid of the National will to re-
establish the peace of the country on the
Just principles which have heretofore receiv-
ed the sanction of the Federal Government,
of the States and People of both sections.
Such policy would have no aliment to
that sectional party which seeks its aggran-
dizement by appropriating the new Terrific
ries to capital in the form of Slavery, but
would inevitably result in the triumph of
Free Labor-the natural capital which con
stitutes the real wealth of this great country
and creates that intelligent power in the
masses, alone to be relied on as the bull
wark of free institutions.
Trusting that have a heart capable of
comprehending our whole country, with its
varied interests, and confident that patriot
ism exists in all parts of the Union, l accept
the nomination of your Convention, in the
hope that may be enabled to serve useful
ly its cause, which 1 consider the cause Of
Constitutional Freedom.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant
J. G. FREMONT.
To Messrs. H. S. Lane, (President) James
C. Ashley, &c, &c, Committee, etc.

From kansas.

St. Louis, July 9, '56.
Advices from Topeka to the 4th inst,
state that Convention met there on the
2nd, and passed resolution in favor the Re
publican party and denunciatory of the
Democrats appealing to the friends of Free
Kansas in Congress to stop the supplies un-
til Kansas is admitted under the Topeka
Constitutions. Marshal Donaldson and
Judge Elmore read to the Convention the
Presidents February proclamation, and
Gov. Shannon's Proclamation, and one from
Mr.. Woodson, Secretary of the Territory
also note from Col Sumner, saying that
he would prevent the meeting of the Legis-
lature. They were unheeded. About 800
persons were present, all armed
Both branches of the Legislature met
on the 4th inst. The roll was called, and a
quorum found to be present About noon
Col. Sumner entered the town with 200
dragons and planted a cannon at the head
of Kansas avenue. The troops were drawn
up before Constitutional Hall when Sumner
told the citizens that he would not disarm
them or break up the Convention, but he
had orders to dissolve the Legislature, and
would do so.
Sumner then repaired to the Hall of
Representatives and informed the members
that he had orders TO disperse them. He
said: 81 am called upon to preform the
most painful duty of my life. Under the
authority of the President l am here to dis
perse this Legislature. In accordance with
my order l command you to disperse. God
knows 1 have no party feelings in this mat
ter, and will have none while I hold my
present position in Kansas. I have Just re-
turned from the border, where l have been
sending home the Missourians, and l am
now here with instructions to disperse this
Legislature. again command you to dis
perSe."
Judge Huyler asked if they were to un-
derstand that they were to be driven out at
the point of the bayonet? Col. Sumner
replied, 81 will use the whole force under
my command to enforce my orders" The
House then dispersed. A co-siInilar scene
was enacted in the Senate which also dis
persed.
The Convention was preparing resolu-
tions endorsing the State Government and
the Topeka Constitution. Fears of inva-
sion had kept large numbers from attending.
Col Lane had not arrived.

READ WHAT Gov. MARCY SAYS OF Col
FREMoNT.-Fortunately, the official record
made by political enemies, abundantly con-
firms all that Col Fremont's friends claim
for him. We give an instance this evening
an extract from the report of Gov. Marcy,
in 1916, while acting as Secretary of War
in which the fact is established that Col.
Fremont ACHIEVED THE CONQUEST
OF CALIFORNIA IN THE SHORT
SPACE OF SIXTY DAYS FROM THE
FIRST DECISIVE MOVEMENT"
Look over Buchanan's political history Of
forty-fve years and find, if you can, any
record of his achievements.
Mr.. Buchanan, more than any other
statesman of his time, is a man of negatives.
He has done nothing, either to extend the
territory or to advance the glory of his coun-
try. He had thirty years the start of Col.
Fremont, and to-day Col. Fremont is thirty
years ahead of him in practical work.
1ueTe Is, uOMSfeIJ ldCI III OuI uISIOIy
which should be mentioned in this connec-
ton. Col Fremont "achieved the conquest
of California; and Buchanan, with others,
"achieved" the surrender of all of Oregon
in dispute with Great Britain!
Buchanan's political life is as barren of
results as his creed is of Democracy. 1t
would be difficult to find the record of any
thing useful achieved by him as it would
be to find "drop of Democratic blood in
his veins." Albany Evenins Journal
