The Waterbury Conn } Democrat ad-
ded another to the Fremont press on Sat
urday last. 1t has gone for Buchanan hith-
erto. but it thinks it abandons no real Dem
ocratic principle in the course it pursues,
but considers the Peoples candidate the
man fort he crisis.
The Joknstown (Pa., Tribune, "disap-
pointed and chagrined at the action of the
American State Convention" recently held
at Harrisburgh. has dropped the names Of
Fillmore and Donelson, and will throw its
influence in favor of the man most likely to
defeat Buchanan.
The Marshall Telegraph, published in
Clark Co., Illinois, struck the Fillmore col
ors and hoisted the flag of Fremont and
DAYTON on the 9th inst. Its reasons are
worth reading: The Marshall Telegraph
was the first Journal in the state that came
out for Fillmore. and it is almost the last to
give him up. We know of but two papers
in Illinois that still adhere to their first
choice. We can stand it no longer. Our
only chance to lick the Buccaneers in the
Sucker State and quiet the Slavery agita-
ton, is to unite on Fremont. One other
reason which has influenced us in this course
is, it pleases the negro drivers little too
well to continue longer to battle for Fill
more"

The Plain Dealers claws Of the Land.''
The PLAIN Dealer of last evening, in
speaking Of the refusal Of the House to ap-
propriate money for the enforcement Of
Kansas laws by the U. s. Army, says:
Every effort Of these freebooters to over
slaugh the Constitution and annm the Laus
Of the land, has been met with eoolness and
caImness by the Senate, and voted down
by three fourths vote of the States.
One Of the Plain Dealers claws of the
IandH makes it q penitcntiary offence to
print, tVrite, speak, publish or circulate
opinions hostile to Slavery. That law would
in 1s4s, have set the Plain Dealer mans
face in an iron diamond frame.
Another of these claws of the land"
makes it death to aid or assist slave in es-
Gaping from Kansas.
Another Of these claws of the land" pro-
vides that eonvicts under these laws shall
be loaded with iron chains six feet long,
with balls four inches thick, and fastened by
their chains to each other.
What beautiful wristlets the Plain Deal
er man would have displayed in '4s under
tins code. his game would nave Deen on
the single ball."
Another of these claws of the land"
denies "habeas corpus to persons held as
slaues."
Another Of these claws of the land"
makes it death for a slave to attempt to es-
cape.
Another Of these claws of the land" for
bids any man to be a juror who is conscien-
tiously opposed to slavery, or Ohe does moi
admit the right to hold slGves IN Kansas.
Another of these claws of the land" re-
quires that every man before he can vote
shall take an oath to support the Fugitive
.Slove LGU.
These are what the PLAIN Dealer calls
claws Of the land" and for refusing to vote
money to enforce these laws, the House is
pronounced revolutionary Glen. Herald.

To GERMANS.
Another Letter OF Fredrick Hecker.

Another Letter OF Fredrick Hecker.
1t will be recollected by our readers that
we lately published letter written by the
German patriot FREDERICK HECKER, which
letter has been pronounced by the Buchan-
an men of this town forgery. We are
now prepared to show by mother letter
from Mr.. HEoKER, that the letter was genu-
inc.
We ask Germans to read the letter given
below, which is as clear and pointed dec
laration, as a man could make:
Translated for the The Chicago Tribune.
An anonymous writer in the New York
Stats Zeit,uaq having addressed an "open
letter" to Hecker he presumed to ques-
ton the course of the latter, and his advice
to his German fellow citizens, but having
failed after all, to sign his full name to the
account, Hecker answers in the following
characteristic and pungent manner:
In reply to your letter in No. 173 of the
New York Stats Ziet,Ing, accept the fol-
lowing reply as corresponding with my ma
tlre:
1. You, Mr.. W. B. H., may go with
the Black Barons, shall go with the peO-
pile.
Q. You, Sir, may be afraid of the Know
Nothings and by that very fact give them
new courage; we Western men do notfear
them.
8. You, Sir, may declare platform as
democratic which breaches Slavery propa-
gandism and deceives those of foreign birth
with sweet words. l cannot. Perhaps a
Journey to South Carolina, Louisiana, Mis-
sissippi, or Arkansas would benefit you
when YOU would see the condition of non
slaveholding whites, and particularly that Of
the poorest German emigrant; or please go
to Kansas. Nebraska bill before you, and
Nebraska bill behind you, and the Kansas
bill on your heart. From there it IS not
far to Lawrence.
4. You, Sir, may write in The New
York Stats Zeitung, 1 must prefer another
organ, for you will readily perceive that
cannot reply in paper which has studied
Shakespeare Antony so well, and others not
believe that 1 have carried away from Ba-
den) the war fund; because too many peo-
pie know that the only fund which assisted
was my own money, which brought with
me from Mannheim! Shame!
5. You, Sir, may go with the gentlemen
that seek office, though it may be among
publicans and sinners. Sir, cannot go
with such men, having declined all offices,
because desire fully to preserve my indie
pendence.
6. You, Sir, may go for Buchanan and
Breckenridge. 1 shall go for Fremont and
DAYTON, and am not afraid of Know Noth-
ings, temperance, fanatics, Priests, Barons
and all the other terrors of the Boohoos
which are only fit to frighten German chill
dren.
Z. The two letters, one to Mr.. Esselen
and the other to the Belleville Committee,
are mine. Are you now Sir, satisfied in
regard to your curiosity.
Ny name is not F. H., but Fredrick
Hecker.
P. S.-As Ihave too many other useful
things to do. which fully occupy my time,
it is actually impossible for me to reply to
all the unctuously theological silly, impu-
dent open and not open epistles. For
sensible man reply No. 8 above is sufficient,
for another l have none. HECkER.

An Item for enc SIaveocracy.

Tho following remembrancer we com
mend to the deluded followers of the buch-
amer Platform, in this section. In 1s4a
the locofoco party put forth their sentiments
in the following, which is one resolution
from their platform:
Resolved, That the people of Ohio now,
as they have alWays done, look upon the
institution of slavery in any part of the
Union as an evil, and unfavorable to the
full development of the spirit and practical
benefits of free institutions; and that, enter
tanning these sentiments, they will feel it to
be their duty to use all power consistent
with the national compact, to PREVENT ITS
INCREASE, tomitigate, and finally to ERAD-
ICATE the evil.
Well since then the party we suppose,
have been growing wiser, they have studied
the constitution more, and are striving by
all the force of governmental power, and a
svstemized course of cheating to fasten slav-
cry upon our Territories. They say:
First.-"Slavery is not an evil"
Second.-"That as blessing it ought to
be further extended and perpetuated under
the auspices of our free government" And,
Third.-"This issue admits of no COM
promise"
Fellow Citizens, Democrats. In 1648
you gave your cordial assent to the prinei-
pies avowed in the resolution above quoted.
1t was right and just. The doctrine was
true. Is it not equally true nowa But
look at the difference! The Slaveocracy
profess and asserts that the views expressed
in the three propositions stated above are
now to be carried out; and they will be too,
if James Buchanan is elected President
We ask honest democrats to look at this
matter in a true light.

Gold at the Bottom.

The Cleveland Plaindealer, in attempting
to explain the cause of so great number
of the leading journals of the Free States
supporting the Republican candidate for the
Presidency, says:
'Let him who IS wisest penetrate this
mystery deepest, and he will find GOLD at
the bottom of it all"
There is many true word spoke in jest,
and this is one of them. There is gold at
the bottom of the Republican movement
and he who is wisest and penetrates the
mystery deepest will be sure to find it
There is golden opportunity now presen
ted to the people of these States to preserve
the integrity ofthe Constitution, to strength

THE EVIDENCE COMPLETE.

| 1OOO, tAo lOlIOMlh5 oA'AOAN e'PPNe'AS~ "As
flaming head:
| Fremont Stakeholder.
THE EVIDENCE COMPLETE.
HE HIRES THEM OUT IN ST. LOUIS
The fact that Col. Fremont is, or has un-
til recently been STAKEHOLDER, can no long
er be denied. A gentleman who now re-
sides in st. Louis, who is well known In
Penn Yam, N. Y, writes to a friend in the
latter place:
"Within the past year l have had occas-
ion to transact business with, and have fire.
lquently been at the house of Col. Brant,
and several ofthe donaesties have been
tkerepointed ont to me as the slaves Of Col.
Fremont, and these are not all either, as he
oUns many Others, male and female, hired
out in various parts of the city"
The house of Col Brant is the place at
which Col. Fremont makes his home when
in st. Lonis. The writer of the above par
agraph says:
"Col. Brant is a particular friend ofmine.
visit his house frequently. He is mar
of great wealth, and married, as you know
the sister of Col. T. H. Benton, and also
makes his homo there since Mrs. Benton's
decease."
The Providence Post adds to this testi-
mony-"That Col. Fremont did own slaves
three months before his nomination has
been proved. That he does NOW OWN
SEVENTY-FIVE is positively asserted by
the Hillsdale Gazette"
The above article was used extensively
throughout this Country by the Buehaniers
the stump speakers, especially, dwelt up
on this evidence, and insisted, although Mr..
Fremont had said that he 'never owned one
dollar in human flesh" that he was at the
present time stakeholder. Mr.. Samuel
Gautt, of Savannah, IN this County, having
obtained copy of the article, sent it to Col.
Brant, of St. Louis, enquiring as to its truth.
In reply, Col. Brant wrote as follows:
Sr. LOUIS, Aug. II, 1856.
SAMUEL GAUTT, EsQ-DeGr Sir-In
reply to your note and slip, have to say
that Col. J. c. Fremont to my knowledge
neuer oaOned a SLAVE, nor has he had slaves
in or about my house, neither has he had
slaves hired out in this City, County or
State.
The writer for the newspaper has, doubt
less, mistaken Captain Jacob, of Kentucky,
for Fremont, who also married daughter OF
Thos. H. Benton, and moved with his family
and slaves to Boone Co. Mo-, and some two
years since returned to Kentucky with his
negroes. He usually, as did Col. Fremont,
stop at my house.
My wife is the daughter of Samuel Ben
ton, deceased, of Texas, aud niece of Thos.
H. Benton, of Mo.
So much for the veracity of the writer Of
the slip sent me, which is false in every
part and portion, gotten up for bad purpos-
es-hence am induced to give it a fiat
contradiction, but hereafterI shall not re-
ply to such trash, Col. Fremont being fully
able to defend himself against these news
paper slanderers.
Respectfully, your Obedient

THE CALL OF KANSAS.
BY THE REV. JOHN PIERPoNT.

BIZ HE nhNs JOnN EAAAAh S-N-s
Sons Of the men who, long ago,
Planted their feet on Plymouth Rock,
There stood snd faced savage foe,
There braved and bore the battle shock
Hear ye the cry from Kansas plains
Does your blood boil not within your veins
That cry does it not make you start
The murderous shot came from the South
The ball has struck your brothers heart!
His life blood gushes from his mouth!
No more that brother shall you see;
He spoke, be dies for Liberty
Whoe'er of Freedom dares to blab,
Where Kansas for free labor calls,
Feels the Missourian's rufian stab,
And, dead on his own threshold falls,
The freeman, there must bate his breath;
To speak Of Freedom there IS death!
SLAVERY demands the sacrifcei
Her bullies deal the blow; and while
The murdered freeman gasps and dies,
Her perjured panders sit and smile,
On her high places, where they swore
That she should agitate no more.
Grasping and bloody is the hand,
That slavery streatches forth, to clutch
A region that she vowed should stand
Unscorched forever by her touehl
Look at the Fury's faith-her oath
Her bloody hand has torn them both!
The bond, that bore her hated name,
That Freedom gave an empire for,
She's snatched, to light with j; flame
The baleful flame Of civil war!
Her troops cen now, are in the lists.
And "War exist n sy, "War exists =
Yes, It is wAR-the war of Cain,
Where Right is stricken down by Wrong
Religion at her altar slain,
And weaks.d beneath the strong.
Let HIN, then, bear Gains forehead brand,
Who sees the blow nor lifts hand
Who, sitting in the highest seat,
And welding a whole nations might,
Sees Freedom bleeding at his feet
And Wrong triumphing over Right
And throws his sword into the scale,
To make red-handed Wrong prevail!
'Tis wari Then be it so. For aye,
Has there been peace-or can there be
'Twixt God and Satsn-Night and Dayi
Twixt black and white, the bond and free 7
Belial with Christ in concord dwell
Freedom with Slavery Heaven with He'll
Ayi let war come, for come it must
Or slavery must her steps retraee;
Let hostile hosts the scales adjust,
Looking each other in the face!
In battle let the feebler fall,
And let the stronger have it all.
For Kansas plains, to Freedom vowed,
To Freedom shall belong-unless
When the wind drives the battle cloud
Away, they're left wilderness.
Far better make those plains our graves,
Than leave them to be titled by slaves.
Far better fall in such a strife,
Than still to Slavery's claim concede;
Than croaeh beneath her frown, for life,
Far better on the field to bleed.
To live thus is a lifelong shame!
To die thus victory and fame

The FInr ON the NIountaln peak.

On the 18th of August, 1852, Colonel
Fremont climbed the highest peak of the
Rocky Mountains, towering up 1850 feet
and planted the stars and stripes upon its
summit-an act emblamatic of that glori-
Gus banner being lifted up by the same hand
from the mire in which it has been so long
disgraced by corrupt politicians, and placed
aloft upon the tallest pinnacle of national
dignity and honor, early in November next.
Of that feat we read the following account
in Col. Fremont's report of his Rocky Noun
tain Expedition:
"Putting hands and feet in the cervices
between the rocks, l succeeded in getting
over it, and, when I reached the top, found
my companions in small valley below.
Descending to them, we continued to climb
and in short time reached the crest. l
