THE PHILADELPHIA NoMINA.
TIONS.

The assembled delegates at the PhilAdelp hia
Convention have but confirmed the wishes Of the
friends Of Freedom throughout the NORTH in nom
mating for the Presidency JonS c. FREMoSr.-
For several months have regarded him as the on
y man who could lead us on with any hopes Of VIC
tory in the coming campaign.
We regard this nomination as one Of the purest
ever made 1t is not the work Of ofiice-holders,
lOg-rollers aud stock jObbins politicians They
have had no hand in saying who should and who
should not be our leader. Col Fremont has risen,
by his untiriug energy and doubtless courage, 10
the proud position he now occupies solely BY his
own energies aud amid great obstacles. 1, il
the possession Of these qualities, and the achieve
menis TO which they heve led that have given him
such hold upon the affections Of the American
people. The Springfield Rspsbiiean very truly
remarks, "His name, as a western writer said,
will be like Ere on the prairie FREEDoN AND
Fremont will be the wateh-word. and around il
will gather enthusiasm the like Of which has never
been witnessed In this country. The slow coach Of
the opposition may struggle, and apply the whip
and spur to the political hack which draws them,
but they will be lef too far In the rear to be seen
Fremon, will be hsilel as the promised delivercr
from despOiism which has become intolerable.-
He will be greeted the representative Of the free
principles Of a government now perverted to the
support ofoppression. as leader to victory which
shall once more place power in the hands Of those
who love the country more than they love its great
est curse"
WILLIAM l.. DAYTON Of New Jersey, has served
one term in the United States Senate with great
ability. and is justly regarded as one Of the most
gifted men in his State; but for several years
he has been out Of public life This man will add
strength to the ticket.
Opponents Of the present administration There
are your candidates. You have got men worth
fighting for, and principles worth dying for il need
he. With these men, aud by the aid Of your own
votes, you are called upon to do battle against the
aggrcssOns Of Slavery, and agans, its seryile min
ions. "Union is strengths and with union we
have full confidence in glorious success.

A Kansas meeting was held at South Hadley
Falls, on Monday evening. Dea Alonzi

ness, in the qualification Of having devoted the

ing of human freedom" A mau 10 Michigan
who had no money, sent his watch, which cost

IMPORTANT TrsrInoSY.-Geo. c.. Fogg
Esq, the able editor Of The Concord, On. H.)
IndPNdenf D.moerat, who has just returned
from Kansas. where he was employed as Sec
Rotary of the Congressional Commission, gives
the result, Of two months painful experience.
He says :-'Insiead of the wrongs of the
people of Kansas having been exaggerated, the
half of their wrongs has never been told. And
this, the testimony taken by the Congressional
Commission will conclusively show. And yet,
no oral or written testimony can portray the
height and depth, the length and breadth of the
onirages perpe'raied in that territory under the
color of law, and by authority Of men who hold
commissions under the President of the United
States. including ne Governor, Judges, Mar
shal, and Indian Agents, they are engaged in
one consolidated conspiracy, having for its OBJ
ject the expulsion Of every free State settler
from the Territory, and the establishment Of
slavery therein, at all hazards. not excepting
civil war and dissolution Of the Union"

originated, passed away, never again we trust

Being thus united nni presenting candidate

While dissensious existed there were perhaps
good and sufficient reasons why this honor
should be withheld; but when such nom-
nation would unite the friends of Freedom
aud Fremont to an unprecedented degree, II
seems that sound policy, no less than n prop
er regard for justice, demands a due APP
probation of the claims we present
With such ticket rs we have indicated we
should sweep the State by majority to be
reckoned by thousands. A contest thus de-
cisiye here would not be without its influence
upon, and encouragement to, those in other

and it can rest on panorama Of unsurpassed At

mountain. The landscape is agrceably di,ersi6cI
