MINERAL POINT, WISCONSIN, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1e 1855


piled; and the action of his friends, Sen.
ator Blgler among the rest, In Congress
up to the very hour of adjournment, has
forced upon me the conviction though
had hoped otherwise to the very las, } thai
his administration, if elected, is to be bu
the prolongation and contii .uation of the
present policy IN relation TO Kansas. Thai
every State where the slaveholding inter.
est prevails. will cast its electoral vote
aye, that every border rufian, With has
his hands, II may be, yet reeking with
the blood of murdered men and women
on some new invasion into Kansas, will
cast his vo.e for Mr.. Buchanan for the
openly avowed purpose of extending sa.
very Into Kansas, Is as certain as the rev.
olutlons of the earth and, if elected, tba,
slavery will 90 there, and remain there,
and go into the territories west aud south
of Kansas is equally certain.
Upon the other hand, Col. Fremont,
though less distinguished as a politician
and statesman than Mr. Buchanan, is all
SO Democra, of unquestioned lit -grity,
OF the highest order of ability and execu-
tive talent. He is fully committed against
the extension OF slavery into Kansas, and,
If elected will bring the whole power and
influence of the Executive Department of
the government to bear against it.
The people of the non-slave holding
States will see to it that no new repre-
sentative In either House of Congress
shall be chosen who is no, fully and OPEN
y committed against it, but man Of SUI
ticIent integrity and moral courage, to "go
through the furnace heated seven times
hotter than it is wont 70 be heated, with
out the smell Of fire upon his garments
The majority in the house never will
be as smrll as IL now is. And before the
expiration of his Presidential term, the
very reaction growing out Of the infa-
nous proceedings of the border ruffians,
done In the name of the people of the
South, viii produce such revolution of
public sentiment among them as to COM
pei their Senator's in Congress to declare
again what our forefathers as well as
THEIR forefathers maintained, but Slavery
is the creation of the local law, a section
al not national, and that all those terrific
rles where white men can live and labor
shall never be devoted to cultivation BY the
hands of negro slaves. The election of
Mr.. Blair from Missouri speaks volumes
upon this subject. 1t is, confess, with
some degree of reluctance that am COM
PEELED to leave so many political associ-
ates and warm personal friends. But if
| am not altogether mistaken the separa-
ton will be very brief one. The mas
taken the separation will be very brief
one. The masses Of my democratic
friends will find tha, the recog aition of
the democratic republican parry is now
going on, and will also find in John C.
Fremont, true democratic republican
president of the Jefferson and Jackson
school, who will neither be driven by men
of extreme impracticable views at the
North, nor inundated by the multiplying
slavery propagandists at the South, but a
firm, CONSCIENTIOUS, Union-loving repre-
sentative of young democratic republican
America, who will take high rank among
the Presidents, and of whom our country
and our whole coultry, every State and
every territory, East and West, North
and South, and not the least among them
all, Georgia and South Carolina, viii!
have occasion to be proud.
Truly yours,
J. r. DOOLITTLE.
