Col. FREMONT The Herald of Freedom pub
lished in Lawrence, of May Sd, contains letter
from Gov c. Robinson, of Kansas, giving an ac-
count of his own course in California, and con-
clusively refuting attacks on his conduct and
character when resident of California and a
member of her Legislature. The letter is dated
Lawrence, April 27, 1856, and from it we copy
the following extract as sufficient reply to the
falsehood. Gov Robinson says:
''My vote for Col Fremont, for Senator, was
for the season that he was not only ready to do
more for us as squatters than either of the other
candidates, but he was the only candidate who
would take an open and decided positionin favor
of keeping California Free State. Col. Ere
mont made no concealment of his Free State SEN
timents, and my vote was satisfactory to all Free
State Squatters who hsd an interview with him. =

| When once an individual makes step from
the straight path Of truth and honesty, il is .
fact which every body has remarked, that he
very rarely stops or returns. The first act of
evil doing Is followed BY the second, and itagain
by ! third and fourth, until We find him pro-
gressive institution, going from bad TO worse,
upon the broad and descending road TO the devil,
with constantly accelerating motion, like the
rock that Is cast from the mountains brow, and
never stopping until he brings up in the mud and
slough 1t the bottomi The same laws that gov
ern men may be applied to parties. And We see
this principle finely illustrated in the doings Of
the locofoco party for the last two years. Their
first step in evil doing Was one, which in mag
nituds Of infamy was worthy Of the most hard.

q The above work is composed of a variety of
stories, probably composed by the author at va
rious times, and published in that class Of week
ly papers, of which Philadelphia furnishes
large number generally known as 'family pa
pers." The only one we have read is the one
which gives the name to the book. There is
nothing about it to carry it either above or
below the dead level of the very light literature
of the Saturday Families" except the Stree
love" doctrine with which the heroine seems in
spired. But as We hold it great waste of clean
