age now in existence" Senator Al
len. " | regard Col. Fremont as one
"of the most heroic and successful Of
Ulcers in our army-an army of which
any nation might he proud."- Sena-
tor Rusk. ~ M # :
But what use is there in multiplying
extracts lauding Col. Fremont. The
nation knows. him, sir, if you do not.
We are next treated by Mr.. vindex, to
a short quotation from John NJ. Bolts,
disappointed aspirant for Presiden-
tial honors, who probably Judging 9TH
ers by himself tells us that power,
power, power, is all they are aiming
att; and passing the article of Mr..
Winthrop, an old conservative Wing
of Massachusetts, to whom the name
of Wing is dear, and whose tcstimo-
ny we might have added to others eu-
logizing Col. Fremont And also pass
ing the torrent of abuse poured out
upon Col. Lane, a.bravc soldier of the
Mexican war also passing as unwor-
thy of notice his infamous lies about
the doings of their own "tools and
hirelings," not excepting the unblush-
ing statement about the New York
Herald being Mr. Frcmont's personal
organ &c; until we reach the 'happyr
sentiment of James Buchanan, (which
deserves in the opinion of Mr.. VIM
dez) to be written in letters Of gold
and emblazoned from every house-top
in the land" and we can tell the gem
Hemon that that happy sentiment would
be fully realized by Jimmy's getting
OIL that platform, and his party return
to Democratic principles of even seren
years ago. And now for the dosing
extract. Mr.. Vindex thinks | made q
happy hit in mine, doubly so has he 4;
the very thing we wanted; all is har-
mony in the ranks of the Democracy
from Maine to California" "No
quarrel between the Democrats North
and South"
When Preston S. Brooks says "For
his part, if Fremont, the traitor to his
section should be successful, it was
his deliberate opinion that on the
fourth of March next the people of
the South should rise in their might.
"march to Washington and seize the
"archivcs and the Treasury of the
Government +" eve should antici-
"patc them and force them to attack
"us:" Says Mr.. Vindex, Aye no
quarrel between the Democrats North
and South, all is harmony
When the Richmond Enquirer says:
Repeatedly have we asked the North:
Has not the experiment of universal
" liberty .faiied? Are not the erus of
free society insuDera6ie? And do not
"most thinking men among us pro-
"pose to subvert it? Still no an
"swer. The gloomy silence is anoth-
=" CT conclusive proof added to many
" other conclusive evidences we have
" furnished, that free society in the Tong
" run is an impacticaNe form of socie-
"tty; it is every where starring, demor-
"ali-ed, and iaswrcctionar4 We re-
peat, then, that policy and humanity
alike forbid the crtension of the erus
of free society to new people and COM
ing generations. Two opposite and
conflicting forms of society cannot,
"among civilized men co-exist and en-
"endure. The one must give way and
" cease to exist-thc other becomes
universal. If free soeiay be unnatu-
"ral, immoral, unchristian, it must
fall and give way to Stare society,"
"a system as old as the world, uni
"versal as man." Says the Democra-
cy of the North, Aye. When the Mus
cogee Gala. Herald, Buchanan. pa.
per says III
Free Society! We sicken of the
"name. What is it but conglom-
'eratIon OF greasy mechanics, filthy OPP
" eratires, small .,fsted farmers, and moon
" struck theorists al the Northern,
J" and especially the New England
" states, are devoid of society fitted
" for well bred gentlemen, the prevail
Sing class one meets is that of me-
"chanics struggling to be gcnteel, and
" small farmers who do their own
!" drudgcry and yet who, are hardly fit
for associating with Southern gen.
" tleman's body serrant, this is your free
society which the Nothern hordcs arc

Says the Democracy of the North,
AYE. Think Of that We small listed"
