WHO MADE CALIFORNIA A FREE
STATEt

The men who have made the discovery,
all of a sudden, that Fremont is a re-
markably great mau, have been insisting
that it was mainly through his agency
that California came into the Union as
a Free State. It is a pity that the facts
in the case wrest from him this honor.
It turns out that WILSON SHANNON, the
present Governor OF Kansas, had some
thing to do with that matter. Page 43
of tie Journal of the proceedings of
the Convention to form a Constitution
for California, shows the following to
have t%ranspired on the 10th of Septem-
Der, ls49
"Mr. Shannon moved to insert, as an
additional section, the following:
Neither sAavcry nor inuoluntary SER
Uitude, unlesS for the Punishment Of
crimes, shall crer be tolerated IN hlS
State.
Mr.. Carven moved to amend the
amendment, by adding thereto the fol-
lowing:
Nor shall the introduction of free
negroes, under indentures or otherwise
be allowed.
After debate as to the propriety of q
division of the two questions, Mr.. Car
ven withdrew his amendment.
Mr. Shannon's amendment then being
first in order, Mr.. Halleck, after debate
in reference to the particular portion of
the Constitution which the provision
should appear in, moved that ga declara-
ton against the introduction of slavery
into California shall be inserted in the
bill of rights" Mr.. Shannon tompo-
rarily Withdrawing his amendment to
enable Mr.. Halleck to make the motion.
The motion of Mr.. Halleck was deci-
ded in the affirmative.
Mr.. Shannon then again submitted
his amendment, and after further debate
as to the e~xpediency of submitting the
question to the people in a separate ar
ticle, the proposed section was unani-
mouSly adopted"
The memorial of the Senators and
Repr e~sentatives elect, from the State OF
California, to the Senate and House
of Representatives of the United States,
dated March IL, 1850. and signed by
WILLIAM NJ. GwIN and joins G. FRE,
MONT, as such Senators, and GEO. W.
WRIGHT and EDWARD G LBERr, So such
Representatives, contains the following
paragraph:
The relation of master and slave has
never existed in the country, and i,
there generally believed to 'be prohibit.
ed by Mexican law, consequently she
original California population is utterly
opposed to it. Slavery is a question
little discussed in California, so settled
appears the public mind in relation
thereto. The opinion put forward, thai
the decision Of this question has beer
forestaHed, has no foundation IN trutA!'
From the foregoing the reader will
readily perceive how much Mr.. FREMONT
had to do with making a Free State Out
of California-just nothing at all.

The opponents of the Democratic par
ty are not only endenvoring to fuse into
one corrupt mass all the opposition ele-
ments, in this campaign, but even then
the Democratic host looms up in such
vast proportions as to render their cause
unsafe and accordingly another feature
is introduced into the Programme. In
nearly every town and school district
some sore-head Democrat has been won
over to their cause under promise of Of
fee, and the part assigned to them In
the present contest is to make loud pro-
LESSONS of Democracy-to proclaim on
the street corners and highways that
they are as good Democrats as they ever
were, and have not changed-whlch Is
no doubt literally true-and affection
ately urge their former honest associates
to come over and "join the foul party"
Mark them, Democrats! This slavery
question is . mere bubble, which will
burst after the next Presidential cleo
ton, and overwhelm with ignominy the
partizaus engaged in it. 1t was got up
and is kept up for the purpose of placing
the leaders in Office. and as at least one
half must be disappointed even if they
succeed for want of Offices to be filed,
the ears of honest men will be saluted
with sundry VOWS of vengeance, with
L" wailings and CRASHING of teeth" and
curses with deep damnation fraught."
In any event there will be a general rush
for the only party that has preserved its
integrity, its principles, it's nationality
and its organization. We shall then see

DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSIONAL
CONVENTION

The Wayne Co, Democrat of the 18th
inst, contains the following item:
1.-THE Democratic Convention of this
district which met at Harrisville in Sep
tomber 1854, agreed, by resolution, on
holding the Convention this fall, for the
nomination of a Congressman, at Woos-
ter. A committee of two from each
county was appointed to fix the time.
In behalf of the Wayne committee We
suggest Tuesday the 10th day Of Sep
tender.
What say our brethren of tie other
counties ?"
We are authorized by the committee
for this County to second the suggestion
of the Wayne committee. 1t is also
generally understood, we believe, that
each County will be entitled to the same
number Of Delegates as at the last Con-
yention.

A REMARKABLE MAINLAND A UNI
vERsAL REMEDY FOR DIsEAsE.-This
city is now the home of one of the most
remarkable men of the age-a man who
has traversed the civilized globe, and es-
tablished in almost every country which
he has visited, the sale of his medicines
for the relief Of human suffering, and
which are q certain cure for disease in
all it's forms. We allude to Professor
THOMAS HOLLOWAY, of London. 1t is
now several years since this benefactor
of the human race first -proclaimed the
world, through the British press, that
he had, after deep research, prepared q
remedy that was sure to eradicate dis
case. Years of patient investigation in
to the laws of human physiology which
control our bodies in health and when
diseased, led to the invention and pre-
paration of the world-renowned HoL-
LowAY's Pills and OINTMENT. Nearly,
if not quite one half of the human race
have taken his medicines His namei is
as universally known over the globe as
that of Alexander, Napoleon, or Wash
ington, when in the height of their am
bltious career. If they conquered ma
lions in the fold of battle, Professor
Holloway has, with no weapon but that
of science, conquere ed disease in all its
forms. His meritorious career is boun-
ded by no imaginary lines of latitude
and longitude short of those marking the
confines of civilization itself. No iso-
lated country or nation was sufficiently
extensive for the operation of his enter
prising and gigantic intellect. Wher-
ever disease has a residence, there he
penetrated with his medicines, and left
an enviable and enduring reputation.
After enlightening Europe, his fame
spread over Asia and the civilized por-
tion of Africa, and finally appeared in
America. He has translated the cures
he has performed and the virtuee of his
medicines into as many languages as the
missionaries have the Bible. Govern
ments, otherwise the most despotic, have
been forced by the great value of his
medicines, and their popularity with
the people, to remove sntiquated and
time-honored restrictions upon the in

open their custom houses to q free intro.

not ONLY stands on the Platform erected

last week, but that he intends to swear
by it, live by it, sleep with it, and die by
it; and, furthermore, that the resolu-

him honor over much" in giving him
credit for voting the entire Democratic
