Letter from an IrIshman.

Editor CEeVeLdRd Leader:
Last Thursday l sent brief letter to the
Editor of the PLAIN Dealer, asking as a
subscriber and reader Of his journal, to ex-
press few sentiments which animate my
mind. After reading the communication
he said he would publish and answer it at
the same time;" but has not as yet done
either, and therefore l ask from you the
privilege to express the sentiments contained
in said letter.
am an Irishman. Before l trod your
beautiful soil | had read the history and
constitut on of the United States, and long
ed, because horn under a cruel despotisn,
to see the day when l could breathe the free
air of American liberty. After coming here
| in common with my countrymen looked to
the Democratic party, as the one whose
principles were more in harmony with the
spirit and letter of the constitution; so l al
ways gave them my humble support. But,
Sir, on close examination find that Demo
cratic theory and practice are two very diff
ferent things.
1t was asserted in the Plain Dealer that
Herbert, the brutal murderer of my country
man, (Keating) "was Know Nothing" &c.
And later, that after the trial and acquittal
of Herbert he could be expelled from the
House, and thereby weaken the chance Of
the Democratic candidate for President, il
the choice should go to that body. Now,
if Herbert is a Know Nothing, according to
the PAIN Dealer, how can his Expulsion
weaken the Democratic cause! The incon-
sistency is too plain not to be seen.
By the blood of the murdered Heating,
which has been made to flow by the hand Of
a Democratic Legislator, and the broken
heart and carly grave of his widowed wife,
l cannot give my vote to the Democratic
party in November.
am no prophet, nor the son of prophet
but venture to say that this tragedy Of

Pigs, Poultry, and Insects!

What time our neighbor of the Messen-
ger must have had last week! He has as
serted in glowing capitals, and says he can
prove, Fremont Roman Catholic and NOT
a Roman Catholic. That he was slave
holder and not a stakeholder, and strings out
these charges with pomp of italics, capi-
tails, and exelamations, that is truly awful.
Now We deny:
First-That JOHN c. FREMoNT ever
owned slave. And if he dill, what has
that to do with the question of making more
slave states?
Second-We deny that JOHN c. FIRE.
MONT was ever Roman Catholic But il
he were, would that fact disqualify him fol
the Presidency, in the estimation of the
Messenger democracy?
We call for your proof on both these
charges. You offer proof most pompously,
now let us have it.
The Messenger, we are well aware has q
talent for making false charges, a geniu'
in fact, for manufacturing any quantity tc
order, and we know, too, it embraces in it
list of supporters set of men practiced il
swearing hard things but we will cheerful
" let them take Col. Fremont for montl
or so, and charge and swear away at him
1t would be amusing, and might be profta
bic to all concerned.
But again, Mr.. Messenger, let us have th'
promised affidavits. If you don't furnisl
them, we intend to plague you about it.

Reports were started bv the democracy
at Fremont, o., that the cholera was pre-
vailing at that place-a man having died
from the disease Monday morning. The
facts Of the case are, that a man was taken
with cholera-morbus Sunday night, from
having guzzled-it is said-oyer t,Uenty
glasses of lager beer! The democracy
must be awfully frightened at the demon
stration there on the 9th, to tell such stories.
Some of the tribe doubtless, will have the
eholer-ah before the campaign in Sandusky
county is over. "Give 'em Jesse?" is the
watehword-.Sand. Register.
Many of them have the choler-ah even
now. 1t is a dreadful sight to witness their
rawlings. We are paying our personal at
tentions to them. Some of them have to
be set up with every night Some who
have been ailing for several weeks past, see
ing that border-ruffian, pro-slavery, Gin
cinnati-platform, Buchanier prescriptions
failed TO cure, discharged the Douglas nurse,
and commenced taking other remedies, such
as free state, free territory, free Kansas, free
speech. and the result is perfectly astound-
ing; for they are restored to perfect health,
and nothing but FREEDOM, FREMONT,
and the whole Republican ticket, will sat
isfy them. 1t is the only remedy that can
be relied on with safety in this crisis.

Col. Benton and his Sd volume.

In the last speech of Col. Benton, made
during the campaign in Missouri, IS the fol
lowing. Mr.. Benton said:
He had undertaken to abridge the de-
bates of Congress from 80 down to the
present time-to sepeIate the wheat from
the chaff-to reSurrect the great but al
most unknown statesmen-to march them
in procession before the eyes Of this genera
ton, and show their wisdom in the light OF
full publicity. More than this he desired
to write third volume of the "VIEw, and
give the history of this Administration,
which had done what was considered an
impossibility-made John Tylers admins
tration respectable. Hewas afterwards ask
ed how that could be, and answered nothing
easier. Cobb was the leading sPirit IN
.Jobn TyleTs administration as well as Mr.
PIeree's and being older now than then, he
was 60 much more meaner and wickeder.-
Before beginning the third volume he would
read Salluts or Tacitus again, with the view
of finding images which would the more
vividly portray the wickedness of the ad-
ministration. He regarded the conspiracy
of the administration against the country
as more criminal than that Catalinarian
conspiracy against the government and con-
stitution of Rome, for Rome was old and
,rrupt. Think of those that armed one
half the people against the other-men who
only rose to the surface like scum when the
political caldrnn boiled, and when it ceased
.ho;I;no settled aoain tn the boftOm as drpoS
and sediment. This administration proved
the truth of the grand oriental aphorism
found inscribed on the inner walls of the
pyramid of Cheops, "The wicked shall COM
NIT iniquity without recOmpense, but, not
without remorse."

Cheating still.

Two weeks since we published noble
letter from the illustrious German patriot
F. R, HEoKER, in reply to letter Of invita-
ton which he had received to speak before
s republican ratification meeting at Bell
vile, Illinois.
The pure and patriotic Republican spirit
which that letter breaths, has set some Of
the Germans of this community to thinking,
Others who have been made the dupes Of
the cheating locofocos, arc asserting that
this letter is not true, but forgery. We
tell them it is true every word of it. 1t
was written too by Mr.. HEcKER. Mr.. H.
intends to visit all portions of Illinois be-
fore the Presidential election. His clarion
voice is for FREMONT and DAYTON
We republish his letter and hope every
German will read it:
"To the Committee of the Anti-NeJraska
Ratification at Bellvale:
"GENTLEMEN: l pray you to read the
annexed words of mine to the meeting:
"Were tile state of my health such as to
render me transportable, l would be con-
veyed to Bellville; the moro especially since
a gang of desperate Nebraskaites will en-
deavor to explain my absence to their ad-
vantage, in a manner peculiar to themselves.
81 therefore inform all such persons that,
so soon as l am able to move about-though
my health may not be fully restored-I
shall speak to the people of St. Clair and
of the adjoining counties on the questions
of the day and shall demonstrate, to the
best of my abilities, that the honor of the
German name and of the German nation.
and the hatred of aristocratic arrogance and
tyranny, make it the sacred and imperative
duty of every German TO enter the list
against Slavery and theSSlaveocracy. Moth
ing but the most sophistical and forced mis-
of the freest Constitution of
the freest country can establish the doctrine
of oppression and wrong-the doctrine that
Slavery is the rule and Freedom the excep-
ton; and only those are faithful to the word
and spirit both of the Declaration of Inde-
pendcnce and of the Constitution who op-
pose the extension of Slavery, and thus
preserve this Constitution inviolate, as a
gospel of Liberty to the oppressed and en-
shaved nations of the earth.
81 pray you to consider me as sharing the
opinion of those who indorse the Philadel-
phia platform and candidates, and no less
heartily supporting the resolutions and tick
ct of the Bloomington Convention.
"Respectfully, F. R. HECKER."

IN SEARCH OF-LIGHT.

We commend to the attention Of every
honest and candid man who has been vot-
ing with the so-called Democratic party, the
letters of Hon. JAMES MYERS, of Toledo, and
E. W. GRAIN, of Portage county. They
have both been Democrats of many years
standing, but they are not pro-slavery advo-
Gates of the present day. They go for the
extension and furtherance of the principles
of Freedom. The party with which they
both formerly associated, has become the
openly, avowed advocate of slavery exten-
sion into I'll the Territories of the United
States, ard they are now putting forth eve
ry exertion to rivet the curse of African Sla-
very forever upon Kansas.
We cannot urge you too strongly to pc
ruse carefully the letters upon the 4th page
of The JOURNAL, to-day. They utter the
true sentiments of Freedom, and no man
can aid in the furtherance of such senti-
ments, unless he acts with the Republican
party and votes the Republican Ticket.

DEMOCRATIC FREmONT CLrR.

The CIepeland Herald, of the 18th con-
tains a call signed by s1xTY-sK citizens, for
a meeting at the Court House in that city,
on the evening of the 10th instant, to form
a Fremont Club. Every one of these men
cast his vote for VIM. Medill, for Governor,
last fall. They utterly repudiate Buchanan,
and the Cincinnati platform, and avow
their determination to vote for Mr.. Fremont.
They call upon all their honest follow dem
ocrats to meet with them for the purpose of
consultation and cooperation. Many of the
signers are among the first business men of
the city, several were stumpers for Medill
last fall, and others were members of the
democratic Central Committe of Cuyagoga
county. Speed the good cause of Freedom.

This is the sorry predicament of the Bucha-

that they as the democratic party, are op-
posed to slavery extension. Was there ever
such revolving bascness, such stupenduous
glaring, fraud and fal;ehood, attempted in
the political warfare of parties in this coun-
try, or any other?
Kansas was free, ROW it is slave territory,
and made so by the Douglas democracy Of
the Union. 1t has been secured to slavery
by Douglas democratic Border Rufians who
invaded it from Missouri.
For all this it would have been free by
the strong will and arms of the real settlers
but for the military power of the Douglas
President who forced out freedom with the
bayonet and who still keeps it out. And
vet there are men so base as to assert ant
use every and any falsehood to make voter
believe the same Douglas Democracy arc
opposed to Slavery extension.

may be extended; that no OBSTACLES shall
be put in the way of that extension, by the
government or by the people of a territory.
On this ground adherence to the democrat
ic party is advocated over the whole south
to-day. Indeed, the Messenger will not
deny that this is the meaning of its plat
form. We repeat, therefore, our charge
that the policy of the democratic party as
set forth in the platform, on which Mr.. Bu-
ehanan stands, and which he mast carry out,
opens wide the door for the extension of
slavery into every territory; and this per-
mission is all the slave drivers want.

to defeat Fremont by trying to prove that he
is Catholic! This falsehood was started
by the Fillmore Know Nothings and is used
exclusively by them, therefore the Messen-

from the New York Express, a rabid Fill

Church at the age of sixteen, Of which he
has ever since remained a member. On
his marriage, his wife, who was educated a
Presbyterian, became also member of the
