city 1t is doubtless we'll founded, and certainly
no more ridiculous than thousand and one other
reports from the same quarter.
A certain free State attacked by three OF
four pro slavery men, who tied rope around the
free State mans neck, and attempted to take his life
by dragging him over the ground; falling to accom-
psh this by such means of violence. in as short
space of time desired, the company became
enraged and literally cut the to pieces with
knives, and then threw him into wagon to convey
him home having distance to travel before
reaching the home of the unfortunate victim to such
inhuman conduct, his blood and hair became frozer
to the wagon On arriving at his house, the poo
man opened his eyes, embraced his wife, and toll
her he had been inhumanly murdered.

SO cay the striplings in the Fremont ranks
whose brains have run to hair. A week

twelve miles North of Philadelphia. There
were four speakers-three whites and one

who made use OF the following language in
his sperch: .......... ........ .-.

not because the South hates hint is be-

do find him! There is proverb which is
pretty good test of character:-"Tell me

Would you infer from this that all the

reasonable to suppose that crab apples grew

DolltItal,
The Infidel Garrison On Fremont
'y.n.. and DiSWMiOn.

Mr.. Lloyd Garrison, the abolition disunion
infdel, urges the cause OF Fremont in these
words:
"As between the three rival parties, the
sympathy Of every genuine friend OF freedom
must be with the Republican party, in spite
of its lamentuble shortcomings.
"Every man, therefore, animated by n spir.
it Of hostility to slavery to any extent, who
thall go to the polls at the approaching elec.
ton, will assuredly cast his vote for John C..
Fremont, unless he adopts the theory of
Gerrit Smith respecting the anti,slavery
character of the United States Constitu.
ton"
After thus enthusiastically declaring the
duty Of his followers, this pattern Of trail
tor proceeds to define his position and aim as
follows: ..g.... ..-.
ave are for disunion, as the great and
first duty to be performed, as the only issue
which can prevail against the slave power,
and give liberty to the millions in bondage" ="
This is a short paragraph; yet, short as it
is, it embodies the whole essence of the
Black Republican creed. Only the boldest
of their leaders dare acknowledge it. Yet
this boldness which lends Garrison to ayow
the truth gives him powerful influence over
his more timid, but equally guilty, accom-
plces. Such are the men who control the
fortunes of Fremont Washington Union.

His sanguine prophecies of success that
year, which we quoted yesterday, and which
turned out SO miserably for his hopes, have
taught him wisdom, nnd he now looks at
events more coolly and dispassionately.--s
In the Tribune of the 2Sth, there is an ar
tile which plainly shows that Greeley has
very little confidence in Fremont's elec-
tion, and that il is a mere game of brag
which these partizans are playing. The
Tribune says:
awe do not wish our readers 10 believe
the election of Fremont fixed fact. We
do not ourselves believe it, and should not
desire to dif1use the impression il we did.
We wish it generally understood chat the
struggle is ardurous, and that the result de.
pends on work yet to be done. In spite
of many cheering assurances, we consider
the State of Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
Indiana, Illinois and California still doubt
full. We may carry oil OF them by large
majorites, but we may lose enough of them
to beat US in the contest. We consider our
chance in the Fl 2use, should the election 60
thither, of very little worth. We must sue
ceed, if at all, by the votes of the pc ,ple.
We cannot count on single slave State;
and we must either carry Pennsylvania, or,
losing it, carry all the rest of the free
States. We strongly hope to carry PENN
sylvania; we feel sure it can be carried for
Fremont; but if we were all to stop work.
ing now, and fall shouting over our antici.
pated victory, we should have no victory to
huzza over. This ia the naked truth, and
the truth is just what should be set forth
and realized. Should we lose Pennsylva-
MIA we may possibly succeed without herr
but that, like the choice of Fremont by the
House, is only chance. If we carry Penn
syIvania, it is barely possible that we sha ID
fail to carry States enough beside to give Us
the victory"

Senator CritteNdcn on Kansas
and Black RepuDlicanisIn.

Senator Crittenden, of Kentucky, is well
known throughout the country as one of the
most moderate and conservative men in the
South. Indeed, so far has he carried his
moderation that he has become unpopular in
his own State. The testimony of such s=
man in regard to the troubles in Kansas
and their cause, will, therefore, have great
weight, even with the Black Republicans.
In late speech in the Senate Of the Uni
ted States, Mr.. Crittenden said:
as it not known to every man who hears
me-is there one so uncanld as to deny it,
that these troubles in Kansas are to corm
the great elements in that excitement ,Dhich
is expected to carry Mr.. Fremont into the
Presidency? We ALL KNOW 1T. And, poor
Kansas, ,chot is her destiny, and Ohat is her
part here? She must remain a scene of
blood; and more, in their bloody winding
sheets, in tho virgin soil Of Kansas, must
be victims, IN order 10 appropriate fortunes in
favor of a particular party election in the Uni-3
ted States. You MUST HAVE VICTIMS FROM Z
KANSAS. You must have emissaries 10 an-H
nounce those victims; you must have wit
neses, or you must at least have telegraphs,l
to establish their truth throughout the landii
and stump speeches, or il may say SO,
long Senatorial speeches, cut up in half q
dozen little ones, would serve the purpose
of many little cress road gothering, and
many stump. to rouse the people to mad
ness and to mutiny. Sir, this is the tenn !
per existing IN the country at this time, and
it tends greatly to increase apprehension /,
that, while this policy is pursued merely for /,
the purpose Of carrying an election, it may $
collaterally have the effect Of stirring upa
CIVIL WAR in the land"
Senator Crittenden could not have told
more undesirable truths in fewer words, orr
more to the purpose. The Fremonters have
dreaded Of nothing so much as to hear of
peace aI d prosperity in Kansas. They live,
thrive and fstten upon the Kansas troubles.
A murder to them is God sead,. and. they
chucklesnd shout over the tead bodies Of the
slain, ,at their public meetings, that would dis
grace a Pottawattomie, ,ata war dance around
some poor captive just taken from the enc,

meetings in Ohio. Such men would COM :
