The Truth from an English
Source.

The London (Eng.) Post, in an article
upon American politics, says
SIT is impossible not to see that this state
Of things implies considerable doubt as TO
the upshot Of the contest for the Presidential
chair. 1t is equally undeniable that the
nomination OF Co! Fremont only compli-
Gates this state Of things. That the nomina-
Aion' tends to bring the North and South in
to deadly combat; il also makes it proba-
bic that the election of a President will be
thrown upon the House Of Representatives,
and in either case it is hand to say what the
issue will be.
"ThAt nomination (Femont's) tends to
bring the North and South into deadly COM
bat" Truer words than the above were
never uttered. A fact which is denied at
home by unscrupulous and reckless polit
clans, is evident enough to intelligent men
abroad. The enemies Of the American I'M
ion in Europe rejoice and chuckle over the
prospect OF the sundering Of the ties which
bind together this confederation Of States.
They are pleased with the thought that
the "NOrth and South" are TO be brought IN
to "deadly combat, knowing that the slng-
gle will put an end to our present system OF
government, which is now the adherence
and dread Of despotism, by the force ofits ex-
ample, all over the world. II isa "deadly
combat" 10 the American Union, which the
Black Republicans have how initiated
They are seeking to array sixteen Northen
States, in a solid body, against the fifteen
Southern States, upon sectional issue
They have nominated candidate for Pesi-
dent in a convention in which no Southern
man did or coud,with honor and self-respect,
take part. He is supported by an e1clu-
sive sectional platform, that one great divis.
ion Of the Union cannot and will not ste nd
upon.
Nothing is more certain than that. A
"deadly conhict' between the North and the
South is inevitable, in case the Northern
sectional party triumph at the election. Not
since the revolution has greater response
blity rested upon true American and ma
tional patriots, than a. the present iuncture;
for II they are not active and vlgilant all the
fruits Of that glorious struggle will be lost
Unless they would see the North and South
engaged in an angry and desperate struggle,
that could have no other result separation
and dissolution of the links that new con-
meet them together. they must prevent the
fana!ical disuuionists of the N0Tth-whC
meet in so-called national convention, with
but geographical half Of the Union repre-
sented; and who already in their meeting
bear flags with but sixteen States-iroui cleo
ting their candidates.
The influence ofno foreign foe, adverse tC
the perpetuity Of our institutions, is half al
much to be dreaded as that misguided and
delUded organization which is mastering un,
der the banners of Black Republicanisn in
this canvass 1t must and will be over
thrown, aud "deadIy conhict'' between tbs
North and: South thus ayerted.

The truth ut last.

We have said, long ago, that the philan.
thropy Of the Black Republicans was all bosh.
They are hypocrites ofihe darkest dye-black-
er than the blacklist niger they pretend to
worship.
1t is not TO prevent the extentior of slavery
they are fighting, nota whit OF it, bit sinp.
ly to attain political power. Had they the
power they would plant slavery in Kansas
tomorrow, ifby SO doing they could elect
Fremont and Dayton. The leaders of the
party are cold calculating politicians--spec-
ulators in stocks and lands-who care less
for soul than they do for dollar, and who
would sell negro as soon as they would a
sheep, il they could put money in their
purse" by the operation. The hoaest people
of the coantry are daily hnmbugged by them,
and unless they pause soon and leave the
ranks, they will become the instruments OF
treason and disunion in the hands of a set OF
cowardly scoundrels who viii desert them
in the first moment of danger.

Wonderful Escape from n FerO-
CiOus Bull,

In the town Of Bridgewater last week,
Brace Hall, little son of Deacon Hall, of
that place, was grievously gored by a bull
and almost miraculously escaped with his
life.
The bull was fine young animal, whom
the lad-onlY some nine years old-had been
in the habit of driving, and it had never
manifested any considerable yiciousness.-
But boys who had a bathing-place'in brook
that runs through its pasture, had worried it
be shaking their clothes at it, and thus get
ting up the excitement of chase, On Mon,
day of last week, little Brace was passing
carelessly through the field where were some
forty animals, with this bull among them,
when it suddenly set upon him and tossed
him repeatedly upon his horns. A faithful
dog which accompanied the boy, attacted
the bull and caught upon its neck with firm
teeth.
The believing and wild running about Of
the other cattle in the field made up an, ex-
citing scene. For about eight rods the bull
tossed the boy tearing his clothes completely
off from him, the boy all the time endeayor-
ing to reach fence SO as to escape. He
had already touched the boards, when the
bull again tossed him, and his lead struck
against the fence, tearing the scalp horribly.
Fortunately the horns Of the animal had
wrenched off one of the boards, and the
victim, still seltpossessed, eseaIRd through
the opening so opportunely 1fa|e into an
adjacent lane. The bull seemed more inten
sely maddened at this escape. and with al

The Republican prints are to make a
howl over the '0stend Manifesto signed by
James Buchanan. Lett be read! Arethese
patriots ready to dyolo that these United
States are not worthy of self-preseration,
and that self-presevation is not the first Of
natures laws7 Hear what MIR, Buchanan
says
The United States has never acquired a
foot Of territory except by fair purchase, or,
as in the case Of Texas, upon the free and
voluntary application ofthe people Of that
independent State, who desire to blend their
destines with our own. Even our acquisi-
tions from Mexico are no exception to the
rule, because. althoughwe nighthave claim
ed them by the right Of conquest, in just
war; yet we purchased them for what was
then considered by both parties a full and
ample equivalent, Our past history forbids
that we should acquire tlc Island of Cuba
,Otthotit the consent Of Spain, unless justified
by the great law Of selt-preseryatieE. We
must, in any event, preserve our own con-
scious rectitude. aud our own sell-respect."

Richard X. Kern, one of the party that ar
companed fremont in his atte empt to cross
the mountains in the winter, and who kept a
journal Of the expedition, charges Fremont
with having sold for his own benefit the pro-
visions that were given for the use OF the
furnishing men. Here is the testimony of
Kern, written it will be seen more than
seven years ago:-
Upon Col. Fremont's arrival at Taos.
Major Beall, commander at that pos: ordered
the commissary to issue to the Colonel thir-
~ days full rations, for the twenty-five men

These ations were never turned over to the
men, and were probably taken to California
by Fremont. The menwere obliged to buy
their own provisions from the people in the
country, who came to theiArelief.

The publication of Mr.. Summers state

Wednesday. Mr.. Slidell said that Mr.. Sum-
ner was mistaken in what he had testified as
to him. He (Slidell) chad not the slight

Mr.. Toombs, and could not conceive how

Mr.. Wade said it was impossible for him
to sit still and hear such principles ayowed
as he had heard on this occasion. AS 10
the facts in reference to the assault he knew
nothing about them, and had nothing TO say
on that point. He was here in pretty lean
majority-n mot more than about one-ffth Of
the Senate entertaining opinions similar to
his. But when he heard it stated that on
this floor an assassin-like, cowardly attack
had been made upon man unarmed and
having no power to defend himself, and
that he had been stricken down and almost
murdered, and then heard Senator avow
that be approved such conduct, it became a
matter Of some interest and Importance to
all the members of this body, and especially
to the minority. A brave man cohld not

Judge Mclean and The Territories.
Houss OF REPnEsExTArlyEs, May ls, '56.
70 tie Editors Of tie Notionol Latslligeaecr:
Thanking you for reproducing yesterday
the communication from Judge. Mclean Of
December 2a, ls47, have now, to request
that you win give place to the acccmpa
nying brief correspondence between the
Judge and Senator Cass,. which has grown
out Of the illusions OF the latter in his speech.
on the eth instant to that communication.
The purpose Of Gen. Cass was 10 fortify, by
the opinion Of SO able a jurist as Judge Nc
Lean, his argument against the powerof the
federal government to legislate on the sub
iect Of slavery in the territories, and he very
properly now, as he did in 1850, cites the
authority Of the Judge in denial Of the pow
er Of Congress TO institute that relation in a
territory; and SO far he and Judge Mclean
occupy the same ground.
Buthere they part company, Gen. Cass
denying and Judge McLeanias emphatically
affirming The power Of Congress to pro'ibit.
Oftlis power, as Judge Mclean says in his
note, lie never entertained or expressed any
doubt; but, on the contrary, has often as
serted it. The object Of Gen. CaSs, as tap
pears by his reply, was not 70 impute to
Judge Mclean denial Of the power to pro-
hi5a, but, byway Of argument, TO infer from
the absence Of the power to iasstitsste,s as as,
serted BY Judge Mclean, the absence Of the
power to prohibit y OF the force Of the ar
gument ] have nothing to say. for i is not
my purpose 10 raise any question with Gen.
Cass on the subject. ~
The doctrine of Jndgc Mclean. as clear
" deducible from his communication, is
briefly this: That Congress has no power
TO institute slavery in the territories, and, a
Jorsiori cannotdelegate that power to q ter
ritory, and that q territorial government
cannot exercise that power; and hence il re.
suits that slavery cannot lawfully exist IN Q
territory SO long as it remains in territorial
condition, except in the case Of territory in
which that relation exists az the ,lme 81 l's
