The Picba.d Character ofthe Oppo.

This Presidential canvass, so far as Col.
Fremont is concerned, bids fair to out rival
the celebrated canvass OF 1871, when Clay
and Polk ran the Presidential race. for per-
senal ahuseyand right out unblushing lies.
The Cincinnati Times, the cryan OF the Fill
more Know Nothing party of that city, and
the Ohio StdtesmaR, the organ of the Buch
anecrs in this, have apparently entered into
a cupartnership, sort OF Ebony and TVpaz
contract, by which, to more eff ctua!lv aSsal
Col. Fremont. The Times had long article
the other day, filled with what TOuchstone
would cal "lies circumstantiai," to prove
that Col, Fremont is Catholic. This is
quoted by TIE Siatesman, with introductory
remarks, which link toward, what the same
learned authority would denominlte the '' lie
direct" The Statesman also quotes from the
~ Y. Citizen, the organ o! the an,iEnglish
Irishmen in this country, to prove that Col.
Fremont is Caaad,dR!
Here we have a combination o. ultra Know
Nothingism, ultra BuchananiSm, and ultra
Irishism to write down and defeat the Repub-
lican candidate whose name everywh re has
struck terror 10 the hearts of the enemy.
Go on gentlemen, the more YOU abnse Col.
Fremont, the stronger he becomes as a Pre-
sidential candidate. the people can see
through such an unholy alliance as tha, of
"Sam," "Buck" and "Pa'," and which has
been formed for the sole purpose OF benefit
ting the Slavehoiding interest ofthe country.
II is coalition OF Nativeism Foreign Irish
ism, and LocoGoco Bcuhananism, to crush out
Liberty, and install Slavery in this free land.
No one knows better than the Tm's and
the Statesman that Col Fremont is and cl-
ways has been Protestant. He never was
inside Of Catholic church but twice in his
life, and never as worshipper: and yet, for
the purpose ofgaining few votes, they thus
palter TO mean prejudice, and would Shut

The elitor of the Vincennes Gtsstts, as
before noticed, has taken down the names
of Fillmore and Doneson, and instead has
hoisted at the head Of its columns the names
Of the Republican candidates. The Buc-
cancer editors if that section have opened
the flood gates of vitupera'ion and poured
upon its head the tide of abuse which never
ebbs in that party. NJ. Mason, the editor
of the Gaeetis. replies to them in this
manner:

LORD LANCASTER SrILTsrALKING. In
Little Dorrit," published in the August
number of Harper, is the following portrait
of "gray old gentleman of dgniied and
sulien appearance" which, from the name
and characteristics, may be supposed to
have reference to Buchanan:
"Tbe dignifed old gentleman turned out
to be Lord Lancaster Stiltstalking, who had
been maintained by the Circumlocution
Office for many years as representative OF
the Britannia Majesty abroad. This noble
Refrigerator had iced several European
courts in his time, ard had done it with such
complete success, that the very name of
Englishman yet struck cold to the stomachs
of foreigners, who mad the distinguished
honor of remembering him, at distance of
a quarter of a century.
"He was nov in retirement, and hence
(in ponderous white cravat, like a stiff
snow-drifD was so Of the pervading Bone
mian character in the nomadic nature OF
the service, and its curious race of plates
and dishes. but the noble Refrigerator, in

1t superb. He shaded the dinner, cooled
the wine, chilled the gravy, and blighted
the vegetables"

PRESENT CONDITION OF Mr.. SUMXER.-
On Wednesday we had tie pleasure of meet
ing an old friend who has been for several
years an intimate personal friend Of Mr.
Sumner, with whom he passed two days
during the last week at Cape May. He
states that Mr.. Sumner, though better in
some respects, is still suffering from extreme
weakness. preciuding at present either ply
sical or mental exertion. In the opinion of
his consulting physician. his constitution,
though of great natural vigor, is of the class
which RECEIVERS slowly from The effect Of
severe illness or physical injury. In the
judgment of our friend there was little or
n reason for apprehending ~ serious per-
manent injury to Mr.. Sumner in case he was
removed from all cause of excitement, but
his recovery must be work of time.
Mr.. Sumner, while at Cape May, was in
the family of Mr.. Furness of Philadelphia,
from whom he received every possible at
tentinn. He has since left for the Allie
ghanies for the benefit of :he mountain air.
In the opinion of his physician his escape
with his life was almost a miracle. He
himself remarked, with great emphasis that
under God he owed his life to DR.. Perry
and good constitution.
In spite of physical debility, Mr.. Sumner
takes the deepest interest in the affairs OF
Kansas and the country, and is most eager
10 take his seat in the Senate ere the ad-
journment of Congress, but his friends owe
it to the country that this honorable desire
should not be gratifed, as the consequent
excitement upon that step might cost his
| life.
If Mr. Summers life is spared, his past
course and present position give promise OF
career which will rival in spIcndor and re-
nown any name in the annals of American
History. He has already become one of the
foremost men OF the present age, and his
name and his sufferings are thoroughly iden
tilted with those martyrs and heroes who, il
ell ages have fought valiantiy for Freedom
and the rights of man.-Dedham Gaz. Aug.

From the Evening Mirorl
Just Fifteen Years Ago.
By J. W. WEIGH

BY J. W. WEIGH
Do you remember. Tom, the place.
Where oft we used TO roam, e.
That little cot beneath the trees c
We called our forest homel
Oh. yes, know you'll ne'er forget.
Wherever you pay 60,
That cherish ed spot in which we dwelt,
just fifteen years ago.
Do you remember how the hO.irs
All gaily wandered byl
How hand in hand we often roamed,
When stars were in the SKYE
Oh, those were bright and j@ful days
Veneer again shall know.
Such joy and:bliss ns that we felt,
Just fifteen years ago.
Last summer time wandered, Tom,
To where we used 10 play,
TIE school-house was not on the hill,
The brook had died away;
The woodman's axe had felled the trees.
The cottage was laid low; 81 =
The faces were not t.ose we knew,
Just fifteen years ago. s.g
wandered to the old church-yard,
And stepped beyond the wall;
The graves were many. anG the grass
Der them was thick and tall;
Upon the stones | read the names
Or those who slept below,
And they were names we loved to hear
Just fifteen years ago.
Unused awhile. then turned away,
And gained The dusty road,
And from that spot 50 dear 10 me,
With rapid slep s,rode,
could not bear TO look around,
Ii made me sad to know,
That all were gone whom we had loved,
Just fifteen years ago.
Ny eyes were wet with tears, Tom,
They're falling while write;
Forms that loved are in the tomb,
And am sad Tonight;
But, Tom, our sorrows soon will end,
Liie's stream will cease 10 flow,
And we shall rest where oft We played
just fifteen years ago.

~William Howard Russell. the Crime

EFWilliam Howard Russel, the Crimean
correspondent Of the London Times, has be-
come quite popular in Europe by his reports.
He is the son Of a merchant in Dublin, born
in lSl6, and after having received superior
education, he studied law and practised as an
attorney in Dublin and London, where he
made his first essays as an author, and be-
came soon a favorite reporter Of the Times.
The Morning Post succeeded in attaching him
to its staff for time by brilliant offers, but he
soon returned 10 the Times, and was always
employed in matters requiring an impressive
and enthusiastic style Of writing. At the
outbreak Of the present war he went as spe-
cial correspondent for the Times to the Crimea,
where he has since remained, without inter
ruptiOn, excepting for a short period when he
was at Sherapia. His reports From the camp
have been the delight OF all true friends Of
England, because they exposed the mismsn-
agement Of the War Department in the most
unsparing manner. But, on the other hand,
they work the best results for the brave SOL
diers Of the East; for, without bis indefatiga-
BILE and eloquent exposition OF their wrongs,
they would never have been redressed. 1t ID
natural, therefore, that Russell should be as
he is a great fayorite with the soldiers.
Russell has been an occasional contributor 10
Dickenss Household Wsrks, and Bentley's
Miscsllanies.
