Becoming satisfied that their chances for elect
ing Nj. Buchanan are becoming beautifully less
from day to day. the latter-day Democracy are
driven to the most desperate means TO Injare
the reputation OF Col. FBENoST. The grea;
question OF slavery extension, they WISH TO -
nore entirely. and base their hopes Of success
upon attracting the minds OF the people from
the real issue, bv these side-shows which
are entirely foreign to the question before tie
people Not succeeding in finding anything
against Col. Fremont politician, the most
vile attacks are made upon his private charac-
ter, and men are found in almost every town so
totally destitute of all self-respect rs TO become
common retailers of their lalsehoods.
Were Col. Fremont guilty OF one half the dis
honesty and corruption attributed to him by
their hireling sIanderers, the most vile inmates
If our penltent.aries have reason to rejoice that
thus far they have escaped the society OF 50 ac-
couplshed a villain. While he remained a
member Of the Democratic party 40 man rePu-
tation stood fairer than that OF JoHy c. FeESioNT
but when that party pursues course that he
cannot foliow-when he REFUSES 70 lend his III
1luence to Pierce, Douglas, Buchanan & Co. IN
spreading slavery over TIE frec territory OF the
Union, lie is called thief, a robber, a swiudler.

the localities OF his tradueers may seem TO re-
qaire.
Ia one instance we are told that he is not q
citizen Of the United States that i" his father
being unwilling to engage in the war OF 1872,
LEFT South Carolina for France, and that while
absent his SON, John {. Fremont was born 2
The Know Nothing organs have proof posi-
tive that he is Catholic, while others who know
even less, are ready to swear that he belongs to
the dark lantern order.
But touching Col. Fremont's honesty, 1t is re-
ported that he at oDe time stole SIX hundred
head of cattle to stock his farm in California,
and strange as it may appear, the people Of Cal
itornia instead of sending him to the penlten-
tar, sent him to the L. 5. Senate.
: gan ii is said he vas entrusted with S10-
600 TO pay the inter 81 the State indebted
hess of California, in New York. and that instead
Of applying it for that purpose, he paid 1t for
the nomination al the Philadelphia Convention
In this case, like the former he Is like 10 be
sent to " Washington instead Of Sing Stag.
These are bat few of tie ISLANDERS against
Col Freiuont.s private character, and party scav-
engers are not wanting who delight IN retailing
them At every corner of the street where they
can lind listeners. If such eiectioueeriug viii
help the cause of james Buchanan, We have mis-
taken the character Of the people. Such abuses
assisted IN electing Gen. Harrison and Gen. lay
