Marshall County Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1855-1859, 1856-07-10

The Topeka Constitution, under which
the republicans said Kansas would be ad
mitted as State, was voted down in the
House on the 30th ult The bill was
amended so as to restore the Missouri Com
promise line, ''but it failed in the House Of
its friends
Every fusion Press and speaker from
dan to Beersheba," have denounced the
repeal of the Missouri Compromise as the
greatest outrage of the age, but when Mr..
Dunn, of Indiana, moved to amend the
bill By restoring the Compromise, the whole
concern was voted down, Notwithstanding
all the members of the House Except 75)
were elected as anti Nebraska men, This
is very wicked world!'

WASHINGTON. June %,

Mr.. Dallas correspondence by the Asia,
while containing no official assurance that
he will be retained, confirms the previous
impressions by the Atlantic to that effect
and indicates q most decided reaction in
political parties adverse to retaliation on
the part of the Britisi: government. The
belief in high quarters is that the Crisis has
passed. and all differences will be readily
and satisfactorily arranged.
Com. Vanderbilt, after pursuing the Ad-
ministration to take measures of reclama-

There is to be a grand rally of the de-

will be there to address the thousands OF

PROSPECTS.

Never were the prospects Of the election
OF democratic President better than at
present In carefully looking over the
ground, vvo think i. Is no wonder that tho
fusionists are becoming reckless; quiet is
being restored in Kansas, and the cream of
the old whig party will naturally act with
the democrats, for the reason that in 1852,
the last wing national convention that ev-
or assembled, adopted resolution on the
slavery question, in nearly the precise Ian
guage as did the democratic convention in
the same year, and embodying the same
principles rs are set forth in the Kansas d.
Nebraska BILL The only question that is
in issue is-shall the residents of the ter
ritories be allowed to make their own laws?
The old line wings, that adhere to the last
resolution that was ever adopted by a wing
national convention on that subject, must
of necessity act with the democrats Some
OF them have been abolitionists, and as a
matter Of course will fuse. Judge Ham
mond, our candidate for Lieutenant Gov
ernor, was whig as long as the party had
a national existence; but when it ceased to
exist, he acted with the democrats for the
reasons above stated.
The Northern IdianiaH, and in fact the
greater portion Of the "small fry fusion
papers of the north, are abusing the Judge
for acting with the democrats They charge
him Of being influenced by the love Of of
fee. and call him every hing but gentle
man, because he advocates the same prin-
ciples and measures and did CLAY and Web
ster.
1t seems TO us that such complaints come
with rather a bad grace from those who
support the fusion State ticket Look over
your list Of candidates. gentlemen, and see
If two-thirds Of them at least, are not rem
egade democrats and know -nothings -
That, however, is all right in the estima-
ton of the fusion party, but it is an awful
crime for Judge Hammond to be q candi-
date without any solicitation on his own
part.
We commenced this article with the in
.tenion OF saying something in reference to
the chances of James Buchanan and j. c..
fremont being President Of these States
The fusionists admit that Buchanan will
get every southern State, and Pennsylva-
MIA also, so much conceded at the start; in
addition to these the democrats claim lndl-
ana, Iowa, Michigan, New York d. Maine,
and an equal chance for Wisconsin, New
Hampshire. Connecticut, and California,
and better chance for Illinois The south
ern States and Pennsylvania will only lack
two votes of being enough to elect.
We predict that Fremont will be the
worst beat man for President that has been
on the track for years. The most noted
act of his life was stealing old Bullion s
daughter. He has no claims to the Presi-
dency. except that Of Mariposi. The time
has passed BY when the American people
will elect man for President who has no
claims to craftsmanship whatever; and there

and unusually agreeably manners in his
social intercourse with all classes. We
knew him as al friend of the poor; as a per-
petual benefactor Of the poor widows Of

OF each successive winter brought shrieks
of cold. and hunger, and want, in the frail
tenements of poverty, could apply TO the

al supply of wood, and sitting down with
their orphaned and helpless children in

their hearts in silent gratitude TO God, and
teach their little ones to bless the name of

Col. Fremont and California.

We notice that the republican papers are
speaking of Col. Fremont as the man who
first planted the United States flag upon
the shores of California We believe our
neighbor of the AHas have endorsed that
statement. Now, we do not know but
these journals are ignorant of history; We
do not know that they intend wilfully to
talslfy. However that may be, the state
ment is simply a falsehood. There is not
one word of truth in it; and if those pa
pers don't know, they are as excusable for
their ignorance as for their mendacity.-
Col. Fremont is also called by some the
conquercr of California; and this state
ment IS as false as the other. Possibly in
these days falsehood may 90 further than
than truth, (Dideiicu Gov Gardner:) but
there ought TO be some show for it at least.
Col. Fremont may be very clever man
and good surveyor; and under the lead
of Kit Carson he may have done something
as pioneer explorer; while under the lead
of Col. Benton he may have done more as
a historiographer.
As regards California, Col Fremont did
not reach there till after the United States
nag had been raised by another; and as TO
conquering it, Col. Fremont never saw
hostile sword drawn, nor did he hear a
hostile bullet whistle, in single battle in
that territory. He was not present at a
single battle. He invariably came up after
the battle was fought; not that he shrinked
but simply that he was not there 1t will
not do for our neighbors to falsify history,
and in 50 doing benefit their pet puppet
The glory of planting the flag of the Tn
ion in, and conquering California, belongs
exclusively to Commodore Stockton, who
landed three hundred and fif men at Mon
terey, sent away his ships, and, against
force of five to one marched through the
territory, fighting several pitched battles,
and subdued it entirely After he had
subdued it, he made Col Fremont civil
Governor of the territory-Bosfon Times.
