Many Of the fusion jotrnels have become
so thofonghly disgusted with The utter in,

expresses dissatisfaction as follows. 'a1 t'i7a

A WORD OF CAUTION.

A National Executive Committee was chosen
by the Philadelphia Convention. We u-.der-
stand that this Committee appointed a Sub
Committee of six, more or less, to meet in New
York city, and act throughout the campaign.
We have somewhere seen it stated that a
few of the North Americans in New York held
of, declining to rally to the support Of Col.
Fremont, but it was hoped that some arrange.
ments would be made with them.
The Philadelphia Convention has defined
the issues of the campaign, framed the plat
form, made the nominations, and respectfully
called upon the People of the United States,
without distinction of party, to sustain them.
We shall be very happy to see North Ameri.
cans and South Americans and all sorts of
Americans rallying to the standard of Fremont,
and uniting to put down the Slave Power, but
let us have no talk of special arrangements
with any particular class or party. The Phila-
delphia Convention had narrow escape from
the unauthorized action of individuals we
hope similar conduct will not be repeated. No
Committee or Subcommittee has particle of
right to go hairs breadth beyond the princi-
pies and policy laid down by the Convention
constituting it.

numbering, perhaps, the four-ffths Of all the
opposition; and yet they have not attempted
to ask the party to support Fillmore. Since
his nomination, too, the increased difficulties in
Kansas, and the outrages committed at Wash.
ington City, have caused US to feel as one man.
This being court week in our county, a meet
ing was called on last Monday evening, to be
composed of all opposed to the Democracy, for
the purpose of appointing delegates to the Phil
adel phia Convention. Mr.. Purviance (having
to assist in the trial of some important suits)
was present on the occasion. And although
no notice of his presence had been previously
given, at the ringing of the bell the courthouse
was crowded. Mr.. P. who was always listened
to with attention, was heard on this occasion
with deep interest. After reviewing the present
state of the Slavery question, he referred to the
present position of the South-said that Sla-
very was her whole politics; that Wings, Amer
icans and Democrats, were the same thing in
the slave States-all uniting for the protection
and advance of that institution. Referred to
its bad effects, both moral and political. Mr.. p.
next attempted to show, and certainly did show,
that Mr.. Buchanan was welded to the same
policy; and certainly did prove it, beyond a
doubt He concluded in strong appeal for
union against this mischievous policy, and
without any side issue-assured us that there
In conclusion, the meeting unanimously
elected S. A. Purviance and A. Blakey dele

NIB. FILLMORE STIMULATING sLAvEHOLD
ERs TO TREASON.

Mr.. Fillmore, on his way home, was received
by his friends at Albany, and made them q
speech, in which he took occasion grossly to
asperse the people of the free States opposed
to the domination Of the Slave Power, and to
stimulate the slaveholding population of the
South to the commission of Treason. Mr.. Bu-
chanan has never been guilty of anything half
speech:
ave see political party presenting candi-
dates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency,
selected for the first time from the free States
alone, With the avowed purpose of electing
these candidates by SURFACES of one part of the
Union only, to rule over the whole United
States. Can it be possible that those who are
engaged in such measure can have seriously
reflected upon the consequences which must
inevitably follow, in case of success? lCheers.
Can they have the madness or the folly to be-
lieve that our Southern brethren would submit
to be governed by such Chief Magistrate 2
Cheers. Would he be required to follow the
same rule prescribed by those who elected him
in making his appointments? If q man living
south of Mason and Dixon's line be not orthy
to be President or Vice President, wou.u it be
proper to select one from the same quarter as
one of his Cabinet Council, or to represent the
nation in foreign countFy; or, indeed, to col
lect the revenue, or administer the laws of the
United States? If not, what new rule is the
President adopt in selecting men for Office, that
the people themselves discard in selecting him ?
These are serious but practical questions; and,
in order to appreciate them fully, it is only
necessary to turn the tables upon ourselves.
Sappose that the South, hasing majority Of
| tho olootorol- chnnII H. Il Il
would only have shareholders for President and
Vice President, and should elect such by their
exclusive suffrages to rule over us at the
North. 20 you think we would submit to-it
No, not for moment. Applause.l And do
you believe that your Southern brethren are
less sensitive on this subject than you are, or
less jealous of their rights? Tremendous
cheering. If you do, let me tell you that you
are mistaken. And therefore you must see,
that If this sectional party succeeds, it leads
inevitably to the destruction Of this beautiful
fabric, reared by our forefathers, cemepted BY
their blood, and bequeathed to us as a priceless
inheritance. tell you, my friends, that speak
warmly on this subject, for feel that we are
in danger

To the Editor Of The National Era:
1t is currently reported here that Colonel
G. Fremont has farm in South Carolina, a,
has it stocked with his own slaves. Nov,
you know anything about this matter, hep
you will, through the Era, let US know whpte
he is STAKEHOLDER or no. If be is, we ca1no
support the nomination made for President Oh
Vice President at the Republican Conyeluo
in Philadelphia, a few days since.

Colonel Fremont is not a slaveholder, an
we do not believe he ever was. It is perfect
right that the People should know their cand
date before voting for him, but we hope no R
publican will suffer himself to be misled by Il
silly stories of men who can swear by the Gil
