POLITICAL ITEMS

an and Breckenridge.
The Mayor Of Buffalo has been requested to
resign his Office, by vote of fifteen members
of the Common Council, because he expressed
his preference for Fremont for the Presidency.
The Newburyport Herald says -" New
England and the North should wash their
hands of slave-stealing and coolie trading,
before they rebuke their brethren of a lower
| world"
The Charleston Courier, of the 22d, as if by
authority, says:
"The Hon. P. S. Brooks has determined
not to return home until the adjournment of
congress. Consequently, as soon as the cleo.
ton has been held and the result is forwarded
to Washington, Col. Brooks will resume his
seat as Representative from South Caro-.

| The Troy Budget (Buchanan) says what we
oelIeVe to be very nearly the truth In regard
TO Mr. Fillmore's prospects in the State of
| New York:
"An ardent Fillmoreite, of this county, who
mas travelled extensively, and mingled much
with people and politicians of all classes since
the nomination of Fremont, saws that the
main strength Of Fillmoreism is in the cities.
and that in but very few places out of the
cities IN this State will Fillmore get half the
votes that the Headley TX. N ticket obtained
last year; that the bulk of the country vote
VIII be divided between Buchanan and Free
mont This, we doubt not, is true, and are
confident that the fact is destined to become
more and more apparent as the day of cleo
ton approaches"

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.

The I,ateLtgencer's usual editorial columns
are to-day occupied with ex Speaker Win
throp's reply to the recent letter Of the Hon.
VIM. C. Rives of Va, and the public alton of
Mr.. Burlingame's card concerning his affair
with Mr.. Brooks Of S. G.
The OHiOn quotes from the New York
Herald of May 4, 1850, wherein it was ch arged
that Fremont was originally sent to the United
States Senate by the manuvering of the land
claims Spectators in California, to get Con.
gress, with Benton's aid, to confirm all the
fraudulent Spanish and Mexican land grants
which would make him alone (Fremont) worth
$4,000, 900 The Herald of that day goes on to
say: ..5
"The value Of the land in dispute, if Con-
gress confirms all sorts of Mexican titles, it is
said, will reach 5000, 600, 600 No wonder that
Col. Benton is as wide awake for California
now as he was fast asleep at all former periods
As Walpole once said every man has his pocket
handkerchief, whether he be Secretary or Sem
ator. Colonel Benton rolled uD his eyes in
pious horror at the assertion made by the glo-
rious Calhoun that the conquest of Mexican
territory, and its annexation to the United
States, abrogated all Mexican laws in said
territory, even those against slavery. Mr.
Benton saw where his action would end, un-
less discovered, and opposed it, not that he
loved slavery less, but Mexican land scrip
more.
'As soon as California is admitted Colonel
Benton will move for confirming all the Span
ish and Mexican land titles by Congress, and
We should not DE surprised if he, as well as
Senator Fremont, held some millions Of them
In fact, the whole gold region Of California is
now held by few dozen Spectators who got
up the convention and formed the ccnstitu-
tion and who don't want California admitted
by Congress till these doubtful titles are con-
fImed. The convention, under that influence,
passed a constitution with a clause abolishing
black slavery up to the day of judgment, but
they have established a landed aristocracy,
and white slavery among the gold diggers
worse ard baser than in the South ten times
over"
The scheme above alluded to failed for the
time being. Its triumph is now we'll under
stood to be one of the main purposes.of these
who hoisted Fremont on the Republican party
Most Of those leaders are personally interested
in procuring such legislation by Congress.
The scheme would doubtless have been
pressed at this session but for fear of veto
fir m Mr.. Pierce. They know that with
Fremont in the Executive chair and his
title to the Nariposs claim in bis pocket -
