CALIFORNIA ooLp AND FREE SUFFRAGE.


Not one Of the black republicans claims for their cand
date for the presidency administrative talents political sa-
gacty or experience or even that homey wisdom which is
gathered by free and familiar intercourse with the world
To the nov ot-repeated questions what has he done
what can he do we referred TO the pryaons he pa
cnv underwent and the remarkable powers Of endurance
he displayed in his several western expeditions Dr. Kane
in his Arctic expeditions, has shown equal patience lar
greater powers Of physical endurance besides exhibt-
ing heroic selsacrifcing disposition which parakes
largely OF the romance with which the days Of cyary
are so goroay colored The adventures OF the famous
Captain James Riley p his forced journey across the
African DESERT leave Colonel Fremonts Rocky mountain
experiences completely in the shade Yet no presidential
nomination was offered to Captain Riley, although his
book must have been far extensively read than

with SKILL GOODNESS, daring fortitude under /. y
yaons and misforlunes and marvellous determination Of
purpose 1t is true that neither Captain Riley nor Dr.
Kane was the possessor Of immensely valuable gold lands
in California; whether the large Marposa estate furnished
any argument in favor of the nomination we are not
informed In late number of the Delaware Gazette we
find article in reference to Colonel Fremont and the
presidency full of sound sense wholesome truths and
suggestive points, that give the following extracts from
it. They will bear careful they prove profitable
reading
" We do not believe there Is in the nation who
could with any show Of reason that John c. FIRE.
mont would have been nominated by the negro
had he not succeeded in acquiring title his Marposa
grant We therefore, regard his nomination garing
instance Of the surrender of mind materand this too
by from portion OF country at auds
itself to the very skies for its efforts nober
virtues and disregard of the arsocracy of wealth. Truly
have they stopped but not to conquer for that think
impossible under the circumstances The people this
country will commit ridiculous thing ntrust

rience time like the present Were Col FIR, pos
sessed OF all the mines OF California, added his Marposa
grant, he could buy the majority Amer

the President oil the model republic shall be equal If
perior in virtue and intellect only Kings and Empo-
rors, but also to those who govern such poentates
"Wherein s Fir, mont neritoous than the heroic
Kane, whose gallant heart enabled him almost embrace
the northern Pole the adventurous and intrepid Strange
exploration of the impeneabe regions the
children OF the Sun, in the face Of death
of the most remarkable expeditions Of the times Why
these young pointed ft for the exalted sta

upon Ndriosd granf Elect Ere mont, and all the evils
which befe the children of Israel in the wilderness when
they departed from the command OF righteous God

reckless agency of such Greeley Hale and Seward
who would exercise power behind the throne greater than
the throne itself"
