WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP

Greeley's Dromios pamphiet--'ne '"u.
pamphlet all about the two Fremont
ter written to him for publication oJ inc au'
tho,;tv IN Which he relied to make good the
,,.,smsn,s of the pamphlet aforesaid, will GER
tainly do that thing, if made public. As We
fsa- that he will not find it convenient to pub
,sb that letter ere the sun goes down on Tues
dav ne 1t, We take the liberty of saying that
MA have seen it in the hands of its author,
Jadge Peters of this city, whom We did not
know by the title of Judge until he called to
exhibit to US the letter in question, simply
knswing him as a citizen of the Fifth Ward of
Washington, elected year and half ago by
the Know Nothings to our Board Of Common
Council.
But to his letter-which sets forth that
Gresley's informant has made him say and
voueh for much more than he ever dreamed
of saying or knowing about the Dromios Thus
he denies that be proclaimed his intimacy with
Captain Seweu L. Fremont or that he knew
more of that gentleman's religion than might
one occasion in the Catholic church in VIII
mington, North Carolina. OF John c. Free
mont, he said that he was his school fellow,
and when associatiDg with him as such always
thought him PrOtestant-not Catholic. In
fine. he tells Greeley that he simply suggested
to his-G. 's-informant that as there had been
two Captains Fremont in the United States
Army, and as he believed from former associs-
ions with John c. that tho latter had not
been Catholic, and as he had on one occasion
seen SeweIl l. in q Catholic church." no con-
ceivei it very likely that Sewell L probable
Roman Cstholicity had by mistake been at
tributsd to John C. Will the Tribune pub
lish the letter to which We refer above in time
to permit it to be seen by all its readers ere
Tuesday next?
Kendall Vi. Blair.-Yesterday we took &C.
casion briefly to call the attention of the Stars
readers to the fact that while Francis P Blair
stands cheek-by-jOwl with abolitionism in the,
present contest, Amos Kendall, his ancient Co.
laborer in politics, occupies his time-honored
position in connection with the Democratic
party. This is a subject that may we'll be
dwelt on. 1t was Mr.. Kendall, and not Blair,
who was honored by Andrew Jackson with the
trust Of writing his history as public man,
IL should be remembered. Blair was merely
the custodian Of Jackson's papers until Mr..
Kendall should demand them in order to carry
out the injunction Of the old hero. Mr. Ken
dalPS relations with Jackson were much higher
| and nearer than those Of Blair, though the
latter, assuming to be a sort of metempsycho-
| sis Of jackson, seeks to attain weight for his
present abolition labors on that ground Thus
he really 4" makes out' that the soul Of Jack
son has entered his body rs it were, and that
tle country should esteem what he says and
does in politics as though coming direct from
tho spirit of Jackson himself He is by no
means the first as. that has assumed credit,
| uader lions skin, not legitimately his due !;
| and Mr.. Kendall has rendered his country
| essential service in exposing the hypocracy
and impudence combined, of his (Blair's) pre-
tence that his political tergiversations are in
keeping with the principles of Andrew Jack
| son.
Poor Fellow, Don't Cry so.-Bennett con-
tinues to whipc piteou,ly over the damage
done to his cause by Wilson, Burlingame,
| Banks, Phelps, Ford and other ultra sectional
orator., every man Of them unadulterated
| abolitionists, introduced to lecture the Penn
| sylvanians in the matter of their duty under
the Union, in the recent canvass in the Key
tone State. Seeing how great EauI pas that
| step was, he has the manliness to tell the truth
about it. The oratorical efforts Of these ha-
tiers Of the Unions guarantees and obligations
as our fathers made them, did perhsps as muc b
as the speeches on the Democratic side by way
Of defeating the late Union State ticket.
The coed people Of Pennsylvania, out Of the
region of the State settled by New England,
| are not sectional fanatics. We care not what
may be their individual ability, such were not
the proper instruments with which to work Oh
them politically. The result has demonstra-
ted the soundness Of this conclusion, which
the He,aid is now admitting with mingled
! tears Of disappointment and contrltion in its
| eyes.
| Awfully Riled.-The Republicans of Penn
sylvania and New York are in terrible stew
over the failure of their scheme to carry the
| great American party meeting that took place
in Philadelphia on the night before last, in
favor of Thad. Stevens Fusion ticket, to en-
dorss which it was called, specifically. They
laid their plans to obtain thereat a seeming
enforcement of their Fusion game, by dint of
boot heels and brickbats, if that was neces-
sary. But they were voted down by ma
jOrity Of five TO one; the American party Of
Philsdeiphia being at least eve to one against
the sectioLali6m Of Republicanism.
Tho telcgraphing agent of the Associated
Press, whose dispatches have for some time
past shown that he is influenced in favor Of
the Fusion or Fremont cause, sent Us yester-
day message saying, that in consequence of
the failure If the Fusionsts to carry the meet
| ing in question, the Democrats we're claiming
4 the State by 25 400 uIuraIitv w. 49, 4.
