GA vote for President was taken on Sat-
urday among the hands in one Of our ship
yards, which resulted as follows:-Fillmore
%, Buchanan 8, Fremont o. The gentleman
who reported this result says that the 5 votes
given to Buchanan is much beyond his average
strength among the shIp-yard hands generally
in this city. In all the yards, employing some
OOhands, he is under the impression that not
exceeding 10 men can be found who will vote
for Col ~ 4. Ti1b

Michael Bundel, ESQ.

It is but justice to Mr.. Buchanan to say
that at that time his Salary was ONLY NINE
THOUSAND DOLLARS per annum, and he couldn't
well afford to pay his taxes in question. Was
he not therefore justiiable IN denying his CIT
IzENsHIP? 81 am no longer James Buchanan
of Lancaster county. live in Washington
When the assessor at Washington called upon
him, the supposition is that he did not give in
his personal property in Lancaster county. be-
cause it was not IN Washington. We think
Lancaster county must have been DEFRAUDED
by James Buchanan.
But the greatest act of self denial was when
Mr. Buchanan denied his personality. 1t was
not, am no longer James Buchanan of Lam
caster county. But 81 AM NO LONGER JAMES
BUCHANAN" The first denial was to save a
few dollars, the latter to save his bacon fol
the Presidency. He is now no longer James
Buchanan. lie is to besure the same flesh
and bones, but the inner man is gone. Mind
soul and body all merged-changed into
bundle Of resolutions-t Cincinnati reso
lutions which old line wings fatter themselves
will never be kept, but which Old Line Demo

Tho Fillmore Move in Eastern Ohio.

A correspondent of the Wheeling virginia.
Intelligencer. writing from Cambridge, Ohio,
under date of August l, thus speaks of the
Fillmore move in that part of our State. lie
says:
"The Fillmore party in the counties forming
this Congressional District is very strong and
united; much more so, in tact, than had eX-
pected to find them, being wrongly informed,
as was by the Republicans. The District is
composed of Belmont, Monroe, Noble and
Guernsey. The party will poll 1900 votes in
Belmont, 1900 in Monroe, and proportionate-
ly in Noble and Guernsey. The organization
is active throughout the STATE, and Mr. Fill
more will poll from 5000 to 100000 votes
In this Congressional District the Fillmore
party have nominated their candidate for Con-
gress, their selection being John NJ. Bushfield,
Esq, of this place.
CONGRESSIONAL MURpERER.-The True
Californian gives the particulars of murder
in Texas in which Herbert was engaged
The victim was man by the name of Cooke.
He had received one ball from man named
Waters, while he was held by Herbert and
another man. The Californian says:
"In the agonies of death he exclaimed, "give
me some water" when his murderer drew his
revolver and deliberately shot four balls into
his dead body. These are facts, and are vouch-
ed for by gentleman now in San Francisco,
who heard the testimony in the case Such
was the prelude to the late tradgedy at Wash
ington. May God shake the lofty mountains
| ofCalifornia into the sea, if she can send such
another Representative to Congress!''

The two Denials Of James Buchanan.

James Buchanan is very se!t-denying man.
There is no mistake about it. Ten years ago
he denied his citizenship, in Pennsylvania, to
save few dollars taxes. After he had become
Secretary of State at Washington, some OF the
personal property he left behind him in Ian
caster county was assessed for taxes The
following letter will show how he lodged the
payment.

Fremont a MahOmedan.

The Boston Gazette has important infor-
nation in relation to Col. Fremont's relig-
ion, which is no more nor less than unde-
niable proof that the Pathfinder is a Ma
homedan. Read: se- z-aw- ,E-or
We learn, on undoubted testimony, that
Mr.. Fremont, the Republican candidate for
the Presidency, is a Mahomedan. We
bring this charge at time when he is un-
questionably proved to be Catholic and
a Protestant. The foundation for the
charge is as follows, substantiated by Chris
topher Carson, Esq, of Texas Upon ar
irving at the shores of the Pacific, Mr..
Fremont got off from his horse, and taking
off his boots and stockings, and rolling up
the legs of his pants, said he would wade.
The beach, however, covered with
muscles, whose sharp edges was rather
prominent; and Mr.. F., turning TO Carson,
said he wouldn't trample on them. The
inference rose instantly in Mr.. Carson's
mind that Mr.. Fremont was a museleman,
for the sympathy evinced for those bivalves;
and on being asked if such was not the
fact, as he saught another place in which
to wade, he winked his left eye, as much
as to say "yes." This fact we think, is
enough to induce all thinking people to
vote for Mr.. Fremont, or not, just as they
please, which we would earnestly advise.
Mr.. Fremont is here charged with being
Mahomedan. Now if he is not a Ma
homedan, let him come out over his own
signature and deny it.
Holmes County Republican. [volume] (Millersburg, Holmes County, Ohio) 1856-1865, 1856-10-09

EEThe N. Y. Express, ESQ thinks the
Tsmes) is making magnificent progress in
its crusade against Fremont. 1t has prov
ed already to its own satisfaction:
That Fremont is duelist.
That he is coward. ..,f-a.
That he is theft.
That he is bastard. ti.
That he is a Catholic. aai -s.a'
All this has been accomplished in less
than two months. As it is nearly three
months yet to the election, the catalogue
Of his enormities viii without doubt be
indefinitely extended. The Express has
high notions of the proper way to conduct
a political canvass. p d" %

Gen. Burns.

In his manifesto published in the last
Democrat, Gen. Burns asserts that Dunn's
Bill, for which many Republicans voted,
legislates Slavery into Kansas. SUCH is
NOT THE FACT, and a gentleman who
complacently tells us he has '.Slled various
public stations" ought to know it, and if
he does know it, he ought not to make
such an assertion. -Dunn's bill RESTORES
the Missouri Compromise-that Compro-
mise PROHIBITS Slavery in Kansas
Territory. The proviso in Duun's Bill
says that Slaves "LAWFULLY" held in
said Territory may be removed at any
time previous to 1858. After the Missou-
ri Compromise was restored, could there
be Slave LAWFULLY held for one mo-
ment in the Territory! No. Had that
bill passed, the nigger-drivers would have
scampered from the Territory with their
Slaves, like robbers with their plunder.--

The MaripOsa Claims.

So much has been said about Col. Ere
monts Mariposa lands, and so many con-
Trajectory stories have been put afoat in the
public prints as 10 their extent and value
and the nature Of his title to them, that as
a matter of curiosity for our readers we
copy from recent publication the annexed
extract of letter from Col. Fremont him
self; automatically giving the particulars.
"Mariposa claim is tract of land ten
leagues in extent, lying upon creek ofthe
same name in the San Joaquin valley. 1t
was purchased for me by Mr.. Larkin in the
beginning of ls47, and during my absence
with the battalion in the South, from D.
Juan B. Alvarado, to, whom it had been
granted in consideration of his public serv-
ices. Mr.. Larkin paid for it $4,000. l
had never seen the place and knew nothing
of its character or value. The purchase
was made before California was ceded to
the United States and long before any gold
was discovered. | had always intended to
make my home in the country if possible,
and for this purpose desired a foothold in
it. On my return to the country in the
present year / visited the place in company
with DR.. Corrie, Mr. Reed, and several other
gentlemen, and for the first time saw the
land. Two-thirds only are adapted to
farming; on the other third gold was dis
covered, and we went to work to dig it out.
So soon as it was known that we were there,
thunderstorm becoming thousands crow
ded to the same place, and to this day from
two to three thousand persons have been re-
gularly employed. They have worked them
freely; no one has offered them the slightest
impediment, nor have I myself ever express
ed to any one or entertained an intention
of interfering with the free working Of the
mines at that place. I regard the claim to
the Mariposa in the same light as any other
vested right. 1t was a purchase fairly made,
and 1 have always supposed at some future
time the validity of the claim would be set
tied by the proper courts. l am satisfied to
await decision, whether it be favorable or
otherwise, and in the meantime to leave
the gold, as it is now, free to all who have
the industry tocollect it." aolll aii-f
