A DEMOCRATIC OPINIoE-When Col.
Fremont took his seat in the United States
Senate the Washington Union spoke of
him as follows:
His character is marked by so many
traits OF enterprise, sagacity and energy,
that we are disposed to augur the best re-
suits from his participations in the civil
concerns OF his country. His own genius
mas raised hum to the distinguished post

The Richmond Enquirer leading journal Of
the South has made the following announce
ment as to what will be expected ofall teachers
in shat portion of this 'free" country
Every school and college in the South should
teach that Slave Society is the common, rightfI
aud normal state Of society Any doctrine short
of this contains abolition in the germ for, if it
be not the rightful and natural form of society,
il cannot last, and we should prepare for It's
gradual but ultimate abolition. They should al
so teach that no OTHER form of society Is IN the
general, RIGHT or erpeticnt There exception
al cases, such as desert or mountainous countries
where the small patches of fertile land are in
adequate to support larger family than hus-
band, wife and children-such as Lapland,
Sweden, Norway, Switzerland and parts of
Arabia-such also as New England, and East
ern New York and Eastern Pennsylvania,
which though admirably adapted for commerce,
manufacturers and fishing, are little fitted for
farming or grazing. Freemen are required in
the former pursuits-slaves in the latter Hence
negro Slavery is found to be the best form of Sia-
very.
But schools should also teach that the
| slaves should be of different race or nation
from the masters; and the wider the distinc-
apt to feel degradcd, oish to assert has freedom
and equality.
To teach such doctrines we must have South
| ern teachers and Southern School books. 1t is
from the schools that public opinion proceeds,
and the schools should be set right
No teacher should be employed in a private fam
Ely public school at The South, ho is ready to
teach these doctrines Parents, trustees and Wis
ltors should look to this thing.
| We need surely append to this no other re-
mark than the usual one where a sentiment
suggests its own inference Comment" must
In this case at least, be :" unnecessary" How
widely have Virginians departed from the opin
ions of those honored patriots of '76, whose fame
adorns in history the name of "Old Dominion =,
More lately, the same paper has used in one of
its articles the following singular language
| 1t is not hatred of slavery, it is not sympathy
for the negro, which klndles the sentiment and
enthusiasm OF the Black Republican party 1t
Is envy OF the ease and affluence of the South
ern gentlemen, and jealousy of the aristocratic
character of our social system, which constitute
the social sentiment of abolitionism."
| We think that all who wish to see the spirit
OF our free institutions kept alive among all
! classes of the people, have reason to be Jealous
| OF avowed and arrogant aristocracis, whether
| they exist North or South Not, indeed. in
any such mean. personal sense. as the above
paragraph probably is intended to intimate.
but in that broad sense under which lover of
his country must always contemplate the in
road OF principles that strike 1T the very foun-
datlons Of lis government. Such aYowals as
the above, of that spirit which belong to the
very essence of Slavery will not be likely to
conciliate for 1t the sentiment of true patriotism

and nature of the contract concerning them and
not having taken any measures for completing

have therefore determined that my obligations
in the premises will be best fulfilled by request
ing that the cattle be delivered to Mr. Cells to-
gether with onc-half of their increase according
to agreement, under which you received them,
when the refusal of my successors in office here
to conform to the contracts made by me for the
benefit of the Government, caused me to have
them placed in your care for the security of the
vendor. ] request therefore that you will, on
the demand of Mr.. Cells, ,e-deliver to him. or
to his order, all the cattle which you originally
received and one-half Of all their increase and
thereupon you will be discharged of all respon-
slbility concerning the same.

From the California Chronicle.

EDIroRs CHRosiGLE.-Dear Sirs:-1 send you
copies of Col. j. c. Fremont's order for the de-
livery of cattle, copy of receipts of cattle, and
copy of document signed by Eulogio de Cells,
and attested by Vim. Wolfskill, all of which
speak for themselves, and need no comment
from me.
When Sor Don Eulogio de Cells contracted
sd of March, 1881 with Col. Fremont, his cat
tie were at the rancho called the i" Larga," some
two hundred miles distant from this place, thus
the delay In sending for and conducting them
to this place. The latter part of April the cat
tie arrived at or near this place, and at the same
time Col. Fremont was about to leave for Mon
terey, when he entered into verbal contract
with me to receive the cattle from Scr. Cells.
which did, as soon the cattle were conduc-
ted to the place agreed upon, and the necessary
-marking Of the cattle to the number of 4Sl
head-there being no more in the band answer
ing to the contract. For these 1 gave a receipt
dated 1st May, le47. Scr. Cells had to send
again for cattle-l19 head--to complete the 600
and the last lot were received the 7th of July,
1S47.
1t is very probable that Col Fremont. being
satisfied of Scr. Celis's ability and security for
delivering the cattle to me, signed the certifi-
ate 26th of April. lS47, the cattle being then,
- supposed, complete and ready TO be deliver
ed to me.
1t is not fact that Col. Fremont paid fifty
per cent. more than the value of the cattle at
that time. l supplied Lieut.. Davidson with
cattle at eight dollars leash per head. reserving
the hides, worth two dollars each, and furnished
the same year.
Yours, very truly.

REPORT OF THE INVESTIGATING CoAMIrrEK.-In
our present issue We publish the conclusion of
the Report of the Investigating COMMITTEE
Every Taxpayer in Wisconsin should read it,
and learn how the officers chosen to protect the
interests of the people. have disregarded those
interests; how they have robbed the Treasury
of the state and deprived the rising generation
of large portion of that sacred fund arising
from the sale of School and University Lands,
set apart for the education of the children of
Wisconsin. Let our readers remember that the
men who have perpetrated these wrongs, are
the leaders of the Democratic party in thisStae;
that they are now laboring necessarily for the
election OF James Buchanan for the Presidency,
under an arrangement that in the event of his
election they to have the control of all the
offices in this State, over which the President
has any control. These are facts that cannot be
successfully contradicted by our political OPP

STATE ELEorIoNs-To-day (Oct. 14,) Penn
svlrauia Ohio and Indiana hold their State
Elections. As the result of these elections is
supposed TO have more or less bearing upon the
Presidential Election, in November the most
strenuous efforts have been made by all parties
to bring out their entire strength. The Bu-
chanan party has resolved to carry Pennsylva-
MIA at all hazards for upon that State rests their
only hope of success. To effect this object,
preparations have been made for the most enor-
nous frauds upon the ballot box. III Philadel-
phia alone, between ten and fifteen thousand
names have recently been added to the Gxta
Assessment list, nearly all of whom are of the
Border Ruffian Democracy and the Commits
sioners refuse to publish their names and resi-
dences, as is usual, because it would expose
their scheme. These extra voters are princi-
pally from New Jersey and Maryland. where
no election is held on that day, and where there
votes are not wanted. Much feeling is excited
by the discovery of this intended fraud, and it
is feared that a collision at the polls cannot be
prevented. The people of Pennsylvania will
not submit patiently to ballot box stuffins, or to
be thus barefacedly cheated out of their rights
We wait with anxiety for the result
