The PENNSYLVANIA MINERS FOR FIRE.
MoNT.-The Coal and Iron Miners of Penn
sylvania, embracing numerous and power
full army of honest yeomanry, do not consid-
er "ten cent Jimmy as at all worthy Of
their suffrages. They are not quite prepared
to work for ten cents day, nor is their nat
ural vision sufficiently clear to perceive that
there is anything very democratic in Buchan-
ans low wages theory.
The Pathfinder of the Rocky Mountains
is the man for them. The Miners Journal,
a paper especially devoted to the interests of
this large class of Pennsylvania working men
and which is the exponent of their senti~
ments, speaks as follows: 49,.
GIN regard to Mr.. Fremont's personal char
acter, We agree with the Hartford Courant,
that the more he is studied, the more we see
the genuine manliness of his character; the
self-reliant heroism with which be faces his
work and grapples with adverse circumstan
ces, until one by one they are surmounted
or put out of the way, and he energies from
the cloud of difficulties triumphant. So it
has ever been hitherto, in his career-so will
it be hereafter. The people love such man,
We are nation of hero worshippers-we
yearn for an idol; and when once the nations
eye is riveted on some one who shows the
heros traits, forthwith the cry goes up, "Eu-
reka!' and the swelling chorus reverberates
from State to State-from the Atlantic to the
Pacific shore. So is it now. The western
prairies, the northern hills, the massive cen
ire, are all alive With excitement over the
new found standard bearer of Freedom-the
man whose energy and sagacity made Cali
fornia free American State"
- Judge Barlow, a distinguished
Democrat of Madison county, New York,
has recently publishedin the NewYork Eve
ming Post, letter, giving his adhesion to
the Republican party and candidates, with
powerful reasons. Take the following, for
example:
sThe Democratic party, once the enemy
of slavery and the friend of liberty, has be-
come'the advocate and apologist of human
bondage. AS party there is no escaping
this charge.
"The North ond South wings are working
together to secure the same end, that is. the
election of Buchanan.
"The South openly declare the extension
of slavery to be their right and object, and
they have entire confidence i'll the favor of
their candidate in securing their object"

Personal ATTACKS ON PRESIDENTIAL.
CANDIDATES Nothing like the attacks that
are being made upon Col. Fremont, says the,
NJ Y. Herald, has ever been witnessed in this
country since the time of General Jackson.
| The two partisan old fogies who are running
on the Demo cratic and Know Nothing tick
cts respectively do not abuse each other -
they are very cautious in their language in
treating of each others merits; for they know
very well that neither could bear to have his
I record examined and brought to the light by
"a fellow-worker Of political iniquity. But
this new man-this interloper-what pre-
sumption it is for him to take the lead of the
the old hack politicians How does he dare
to distance men who have grown gray in the
service Of political party? They can't rea-
lie the phenomenon, and in their confusion
they and their supporters fall to abusing
Fremont. And, as there is nothing in the
public life of Fremont that can by any posi-
'bility awaken any other feeling butsadmira
ton and respect, they turn to his private life,
! criticise his parentage,. his family, his mar
rage, the baptism Of his children, his reli-
gion, his business operations, and his private
affairs generally, and try to caviI at them
When we commented on the love story
which was published as an electioneerinr
document by Mr.. Buchanan's friends. thew
were thrown into paroxysm of rage but
there is not an act of Col. FremontIs life
which his opponents do not drag before the
public and distort with all the malignity of
anticipated defeat.
,E Mr., Bhkey, one Of the Republican
electors in Kentucky, has taken the stump
for Fremont and Dayton, in that State.
