ana murder OF the Kansas settlers BY the
prowling brigands from the Blue Lodges;
h.. insult OF the President in replying to
he remonstrances of these settlers, by
telling them to mind their own business
and not me Idle so much with those stsa-
cred laws" &C., DC.
These facts, (says Mr.. Ingham) consii-
tute but small par! of the indisputable'
evidence that might be adduced to estab-
lish the charge Of the conspiracy of GER
tain high functionaries of our national
government, to interpolate new and false
of the Federal constitution,
upon point of fearful and vital interest;
TO accomplish which solemn pledges have
been violated. and means employed in
which the great principles of Democratic
government have been wholly contemn-
ed and disregarded, and an actual coup
d'etat attempted, more abhorrent to free
men than anything we have been taught
from infancy 10 condemn in the achieve
ments Of the old world
Mr.. Ingham then concludes as follows:
Mr.. Buchanan stands upon the same
platform with Franklin Pierce, and is so
pledged by his supporters to carry out bis
measures, and especially the plot Of the
conspirators, TO use the Constitution of the
United States to carry slavery into and
drive settlers out Of all the territories;;
but unless he possesses the heroic nature
of Regulus. he cannot respond to the
demands Of free Democracy.
Mr.. Fillmore is probably well-dis-
posed gentleman; l know nothing against
him except his recognition of the rights
of certain States to revolt if they should
be defeated at the polls, or if he did not
mean revolt, as he did not use the words,~
he must have thought of coup 'esat, as
has since been suggested by Chevalier
Brooks, Of South G rolina. Some of bis
friends seem to have vague idea of his
powers of compromise, but, has any one
ventured to suggest the terms? Neither
side will concede an inch to such terms.
Its settled point that Kansas must be
given up either to slavery or freedom. and
who pretends to guess what Mr.. Fillmore
would do on such question
Of Col. Fremont, I have still less to
say. 1t is asserted that he is too young
and inexperienced. AS to the first OBJ
lection he is even beyond the age when
the ablest and most successful men the
world has ever seen, began their achiev-
ments As to the second, he will re-
quire only a clear head, disciplined
mind, steady hand, an honest and stout
heart, to do all the work the nation can
demand Of him. All these qualities have
been accorded to him by impartial oppo-
nents We have then the fullest assur-
ance in his history of their reality. Thus
armed, and standing on platform of SIM
pie construction, founded on a rock, un-
encumbered by any delusiye architectural
distractions, and supported by an un-
hinching phalanx of free Democracy and
staunch Republicanism, if l have any
judgement of the causes which most eff
fectively operate on the minds of the
Americans, he will be triumphantly elec'
ted, and as triumphantlv lead this Repub-
lie onward to its glorious destiny.
And now comes another of the old
Democratic guard in the person of the
venerable William J. Duane, who also
was Secretary of the Treasury under
Jackson, and who at meeting of Demo-
Gratis in Philadelphia, assembled on
Thursday last, to form Democratic
Fremont Club, is reported as follows:
About sixty years ago he stood in the
same room in which the meeting was
now held, and saw General Washington
delivering the seals of his Office to bis sue
cessor. He spoke of the Republican and
i Democratic school in which he had been
brought up. He was educated as prin-
ter. and the first article he set up was
Washington's Farewell Address. From
that moment he learned the principles
which ever after governed his life. He
had been twenty three years out of pub
lie life, bat a strong sense of duty seemed
to call him again to the post he had main
tanned in his youth. He had not atten-
ded political meeting for nearly quar-
ter of century, and perhaps it was this
that made him feel so deeply impressed at
the present time. Mr.. D. spoke at some
length, and was enthusiastically applaud
ed. The room was densely crowded
and many were unable to obtain admis-
sion.
After Mr.. Duane's speech, club was
formed the organization of which WIS.
signed by Mr.. Duane as the first name,'
and followed BY other Democrats, who
have pledged themselves to the support OF
Fremont and Dayton as the candidates OF
party which is the true exponent ofJef-
ferson and Jackson upon the slavery
question.
