New-York daily tribune., 1856-08-02

Our faith in the triumph of Fremont and Freedomin
the ensuing Presidential Election is based on our
vcton that the People will take the work into their
own hands, and do whatever is necessary to insure
the desired result We onot believe, aud never have
believed, that the Election would carry itself We
appreciate too well the power Of the compact or.
gsnizstiOn, abundant leisure and immense pecuni-
ary resources of TIE Federal ofice-holders, who
form an arm one hundred thousand strong, thor
ouehly drilled, welding the machinery of the Post
Office and spending Fifty Millions of Public Money
per annum. These men will fight desperately for
their places and their profits, and they have extra
resources in the most popular party name, and the
blind devotion Of at least One Million voters who
will support any ticket that they understand to be
the Democratic" These are great odds to be en-
countered by new andimperfect Or anzation, with
no offices to and party prejudice to profit
BY And when to these are added the great make
weight of the Fillmore Know Nothing Organiza-
tion, more bitterly hostile to Fremont and Dayton
than even the ofhcehoders' party, and but for
which our triumph in every Free State would
hardly cost struggle, we tell colaborers that
the battle is not yet won and that it will require
efforts and sacrifices the part Of the great body
Of earnest supporters of Fremont and Dayton TO
insure their election. Money in large sums we
cannot raise for the rich men of the cities are
generally against us; our Committees are not very
sffe ctive, partly on this account; and the burden
of the day must be borne by the frank and file "
who have enlis led for the war.
The first work now in order is the systematic
diffusion of political truth. II all the American
People only knew what has occurred in Kansas
within the last two years, need not say another
word. The Election would carry itself. But a
very large proportion of the voters do not h.bitu
ally read any newspaper, while not one tenth of
the newspapers have given any connected and con-
tinuous account Of the progress of events in Kan
tas. Not ten of the three thousand Amer can jour
mails have even had a regular correspondent in that
Territory; and half the correspondents sent were,
ike their employ yers, hand and glove with the
Border Ruffians. If every voter In the United
81 ates had read all the letters written from and
journals printed in Kansas-not one side Of the
story, but both sides-Fremont would carry every
Free State by immense msjorities The mO.t Of
fectve articles we have published for the Free
State cause have been our extracts from the Pro
Slavery journals printed in Kansas or on its Mis-.
s0uyi border.
The People only d TO know the whole truth
but, @yet, larg, proportion Of them do no.
know it. The facts have been systematically with.
held from them by one half the American Press
ard but partially, imperfectly given by the other.
There are thousands who have read some Free Soil
journal or other regularly, and yet have seen no
clear account Of the atrocities from time to time
committed BY the Border Rufians in Kansas, and
especially in the sack and partial conhagration of
Lawrence. How wanton, how wasteful, how
6tndish that drama of villainy really was, and
how entirely, uDdisguisedly it was perpetrated in
the interest Of Slavery Extension, are not realized
this hour by one-third of the American People.
And unless private individuals, who are barely able
to spend dollar or two for such purpose, will
devote their own time ard means to circulating the
proper documents, the truth will never BE- general
ly known.
We have at length completed and issued our
