Address OF Truman smith TO the
people of Connecttcut.
FELLOW CirlzENs--Permit me to address
you briefly on the existing conf uncture Of pub
lie affairs. The period is at hand when the
American people must designate the citizen
who is to administer the executive depart
ment Of the government for the term Of four
years from the 4th Of March next. Who
shall he be? | say, unhestatingly, John c.
Fremont. know him intimately. | pro-
nounce him we'll qualified aud worthy of all
| confidence. His cause is that of lofty,
generous, patriotic and truly national con-
servatism. There is no possible avenue open
for the restoration Of the peace Of the coun-
try but by electing Colonel Fremont to the
Presidency.
1t is now certain that the adherents and
promoters Of the mischievous-nay, wicked
policy OF the present administration will
have majority in the two Houses OF the
next Congress and should Mr.. Buchanan be
elected. il may be written down as certain
that, within two years from the fourth Of
March next, Kansas will be delivered up to the
Moloch Of slavery. She will be brought into
the Union rs a slave State. Shall this be
submitted TO without struggle? Shall We
not rcbuke the monstrous perddv Of repeal
ing the Missouri compromise? Shall we not
chas,ise the numberless outrages committed
IN Kansas? Shall the elective franchise in
that unhappy Territory be violated with i'm
punity? Shall border rutfans invade with
the bowie-knife and revolver, and elect n
spurious Legislature, only to enact a code of
laws more Infamous, if possible, than the
border ruilians themselves? Shall the Mis-
souri, river, one Of the great highways Of the
nation, be blocked up as against the lovers
) Of freedom, and be open only to the votaries
Of slavery Shall the army Of the United
States be used only to Cypress the Free State

: and to arrest and hold them in custody as
! felons, for no other crime than exercising
the sacred right of self-defencep What
border rufian has been arrested what per-
petrator Of robbery, arson, rape, and even
MURDER Not one. repeat, there is not a
hope for Kansas but in eecting Fremont.
In James Buchanan we shall have only an
elongation of Franklin Pierce, and what an
administration God save the republic
Besides, not only is Kansas to be sacrificed,
but our government is to be converted into
, an engine for the prepagandisn Of slavery
over this continent.
Depend upon it, the subjugaton of Kan
sas is not to be the last Of outrages. Even
