We call the attention Of our candid Free Soil
and anti-slayery friends to the record which We
present below, and which constitutes the politi-
cal history of this distinguished but recently
discovered statesman. .l. ~, ...r...- .--..
The Black Republican party, whose peculiar
candidate Col Fremont is, will find in it food
for reflection. Honest minded men who act
with the political organization that has brought
about his nomination, have been led to believe
that he was selected as their candidate, on ac-
count Of the strong attachment to the principles
which they profess; that in his distinguished ef-
forts to aid the cause Of human freedom they
had discovered an able advocate Of the .anti-sla-
very sentiments which constitute the basis of
their political principles. .rr7-, |
Surely, he is worthy to be the chosen leader
Of such a band of sage patriots and dsinterest-
ed philanthropsts, His anti-slavery principles
can no longer be questioned; they cannot fail to
enlist for him the cordial support of the anti
slavery men of the North. Born in slave
State, reared among slave holders, he has really
no interests or feelings in common with those
whose support the wire workers are aiming to
secure. s,,..,.,..,,. ..... "a, .,. .-.i.--
Again we cali the attention Of anti-slavcry
men to this brief but satisfactory history Of his
distinguished services in their cause: .-...
ANA In SENATE, Sept l1th, 1855
Mr.. Underwood of Kentucky, called up the
bill Orthe relief of the American Colonization
Society The slaves that were recaptured on
the barque Pons were turned over to the Colon
izaton Society, by the authority of the United
States, sent to Liberia, and there keptat the ex-
pense Of the Society for one or two years. Most
of them were children of twelve, fifteen and
sixteen years of age. The Society thinks that
the expense of feeding, clothing and educating
these people which was thus developed on them
by the action Of the Government, ought to be
repaid them. Twas certainly an expense incur
red by the Society, through the action Of the
govefnment in thro wing these young negroes
upon them for maintenance, instead of taking
them as the Government was bound to do BY
law, and providing for them. That is the M
turei of the. claim. They simply ask that Sc
much shall be paid them as the Society, from
its own experience, pays in reference to its
own omigrants. The claim was reported upor
favorably two years ago. A snlar report ha;
again been made; and as the necessities of thc
Society require that they should have the mon
Les. ! hope, .saidMr u, the Senate willconsentt t.
take up the bill, The Senate agreed to take vi
the bill and proceeded to consider it as in Com
mittee of the whole. s.sHu.si j.
Mr.. Turner asked FOR the reading Of the re
port of the committee. /, a. 5;,uHat aa
The Secretary read the report accordingly
It sets forth that a Liberal construction of 5th
iact Of Congress, Of March Cd, 1889, would re
quire that the government should provide fol
the support Of these re captured Africans for :
reasonable tim, after they. had been landed il
Liberia and that it Is beneath the dignity Of til;
Government to dcyolye this duty upon the Soci
Iety. The petition of the executive commits
: Of the Society which the Committee incorpora
ted in their report, states that on the 10Th c
December lS45, the United States ship York
town, Commodore Bell landed at Monrovia,, i
Liberia, from the SLAYER Pons, seuen h'aa}'@ an

The services Of providing for the destitut
negroes, were not r9quired to be performed b
the Society, under thqir constitution, but the a
tentative was TO leave these recqptTed Afr
cans to starve and die, and the Society, there
fore cheerfully took charge Of them, relying Q
the Government Of the United States to IrelaIl
the cost Of them" ,.f--.l5, nta On .esm
