THE LADIES FOR FREAoSr-There is no mis-
taking as one of the signs Of the times that the
women Of America are in favor of FREMosr for
next President The idea that that old Bach,
old Buck, who does not appear ever to have
loved anybody, female or male, should make a
bachelors rooste out of the White House, is
not an agreeable one to them. They very much
prefer the gallant young officer, who when in
love with Col. Benton's daughter, learning that
she loved him married her in spite Of the Colo
mel If women had a right to vote, there would
no longer De question as to the next President.
Only few of the estrong- minded whose af.
hnities are for frost would go for Old Buck.

Letter thought he could manufacture little
capital by attributing to Governor Grimes q
question asked by some one in the crowd and
then attempting to answer it. The truth was,
Governor Grimes was not present at the speak

The HONE JoURNAL.-We have received the
first number of q new and handsomely printed
paper with the above name, from Mt. Pleasantly
Elliott l. Mehaffy. It is to be conducted with
spirit and ability, if we are to judge from the
number before US. In his opening article, the
editor, Mr. Elliott, thus speaks of the great is
sue of the day upon which the Presidential cleo
ton is to be fought:
On the great question Of Human Slavery, now
dividing and distracting the people of these States
and more than threatening US with all the evils
and horrors of civil war; we have no conceal
ment of opinion or principle. We regard the
s.peculiar {accursed) institution" Of human chat
teIism stigma upon our national character, a
reproach upon our good name, curse upon our
country, crime against God; and blighting
withering disgrace upon humanity That it is
al these, and mora than these, is evident from
the very aspect Of the evil ITSELF What greater
reproach could be put upon our national charae-
ter, BY citizen or government of another c0un-
try, than to remind US that in our land of boast
ed FREEDox four millions Of Gods images are
held in ignorance, degradation and bondages-
What has retarded the development Of our great
resources in the Southern half Of our territory;
and withered the prosperity of large portion Of
our national heritage, unsurpassed in fertility,
beauty and climate, BY any part Gods creations
We answer Slavery. To prevent the extension
of this mighty eyii-to resist every attempt to
.crush out the spirit Of freedom so signaHy man
ifesting itself now in the North-whether these
attempts be made by individual members Of So
ciety, Or by the official power of those in whose
hands the Government is now placed-win be
our special object.

sB The following is extracted from private

his brother, now residing in Kansas, and needs
no comments:
"Free-state men, gener-
ally, are reduced to condition very much re-
sembling slavery-we are not allowed to serve as
jurymen-are not eligible to any Office whatever;
heavy fines are imposed on us for trifing often

in favor of pro-slavery men. There Is evidently

DoDGrNG.-Mr. Letter is attempting to back
| water from the Constitutional views promulged
here within the last few days. This he is doing
through the editorial columns of the Gazette.
The more he explains, the deeper he gets into
the mire. Notwo sentences will hang together.
One minute he claims that the Democracy are
battling for the Constitutional rights of the
South! What rights? Why he tells us the
equal right, guaranteed by the Constitution, Of
taking their "property" into the territories. The
Compromise made an unjust distinction. North
ern men were privileged to take their property
either side of the line, while Southern men cod
only go on one side with their human property.
To remove this unjust and unconstitutional dis
tinction, the Compromise was repealed in 1854.
In the very next breath, he tells us it was not
the intention of that repeal, and is not the OBJ
ject now of the Buchanan party, to extend slay-
cry!
But says Mr.. Davis: You assert this slavery
question is left by the Kansas Nebraska bill, in
the hands of the people of the territories, to ar
range in their own way, "suyect to the Constitu-
tion." Will you, Mr.. LETTER, tell us, yea or nay,
whether, in yonr opinion, territorial legisla
ture of Kansas, legally elected, has power to
exclude Slavery?
Mr.. LETTER declined to give an opinion, and
referred the question to the Courts!!
Is not this enough to confirm our report Of
Mr.. Letters remarks? Does not this very sub
terfuge prove incontestibly that Mr.. LETTER and
his party are exerting every nerve to extend
slavery under the absurd and ridiculous plea
of vindicating the Constitutional rights of the
South?
What mockery have we here! What an in
suit to the intelligence of the people! We leave,
say pro-slavery Platforms speakers, and news
papers, the people of the territories perfectly
free" to regulate their domestic institutions in
their own way, BUT the Constitution forbids the
exclusion of slavery from the territories!

RHODE ISLAND LEGIsLATURE-The General
Assembly on Thursday last elected Samuel Ames
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and William
r. Watson Auditor. The caucus, after most
acrimonious debate, postponed the Senatorial

The PoLYGAMY INVESTIGATION COMING UP.-The
House Committee on Territories reported a bill
on Thursday last providing for the punishment
of polygamy in the Territories, by penalty of
five hundred dollars and Imprisonment for
not less three or more than five years. The
bill passed in Committee with but one dissenting
voice.
TINE HE sHoELD HAVE REsr.-We were told,
as recommendation for the Presidency, that
James Buchanan had been FORTY YEARS IN Of
TICE! He has nearly attained his three score
years and ten. Would it not now be we'll for
him to rest from his public labors? Forty years
in Office ought to satisfy any man, and the peo-
pie will be better served by ayounger and more
vigorous man, who has not been corrupted by a
lifelong partizanship. James Buchanan ought
to be excused.

Who IS JOHN c.. FREMoNr.-Does any body
ask such foolish question as this? The young
est man ever nominated for the Presidency, still
every child in the land knows him. Poor and
obscure in Origin, unchanged with any trick or
demagoguery or improperly of any sort unbe-
coming an honest man or gentleman of un-
blemished honor, that he should in so short a
period have achieved SO widespread and honor
able a fame, is that not an argument for remark
able energy and great capacity? And yet he is
one of the most modest and unassuming men in
the country, as gentle and retiring in manners
as he is brave and firm in character. The Pitts
burgh Gazette relates the following incident in
point:
sHis personal appearance differs greatly from
most peoples preconceptions of such man.
Many years ago when he called upon the Secre-
tary of War to present the Report of his first
expedition across the Rocky Mountains, after
being ushered into the Secretary's room, he mod
estly presented the document. The Secretary
looked at it, and turning to the youthful, mod

| The party IN this County have, as ouf readers
l5afe aware, put . ticket in nomination We
were greatly assonished 70 fnd at ih' head the
name Of oar particular friend, the late Judge
Wightman, who, according to his own account
Of II, was inhumaniy butchered BY the Hawk
Eye last summer. We are rejoiced, that after
taking : year 10 consider the matter, he has
come to the conclusion that he is not dead! 1t
has been our opinion all the time that he was
better than two dead men. Knowing that the
party put him forward last summer just as they
did Mr.. Ooutman, for the purpose Of having
him killed, We we're certainly astonished to see
Monsieur Tonson step forth, armed with reg
uiar nomination, just As good as new!
Tbis was not in the programme. The leaders
of the party have no hesitency in saying the
Judge makes very fair county officer, but is
totally unfit for the legislature. His cunning
and craft secured the nomination against the
field. And he viii be very sure to 60 to the
Legislature if the same means will win. He will
see every voter in the county before the election
and tell each a different story as the case seems
to require He will be on all sides of all ques-
tons and no where at last. We are glad the
Judge is nominated. There is fun ahead.
They have nominated for the House 7. L. Sar-
gent, J. Tracy, and Justus Clark. We only
know, Of the above named persons, Mr.. Tracy.
And we have only to say here that we do hope
Messrs. Sargent and Clark are, for the credit Of
the city and county, better qualified than those
we do know. Small choice is there between
Wightman and Tracy. Neither of them will
ever be hung for their smartness Tracy has a
good deal the most lung and would pass the best
in crowd, particularly if he said nothing; but
the Judge is much the shrewdest man, and when
he gets his hand in, will be the ABLEsr debatant.
Mr.. Clark is an Old Line Wing. His nomina-
ton is the best evidence Of the utter desperation
of the pro-slayery party. Any thing to beat.
And as they have no hopes of doing it upon
their own strength, they propose an alliance, Of
fensive and defensive, with pro-rata distribu-
ton of the spoils, with few impracticable
wings!
In regard to the candidates for Clerk and
Prosecuting Attorney we have nothing to say,
at present.
