EMAscULATED JoURNAIIsM.-Weh have two pre-
cious specimens of this sort of journalism before
us. The first is furnished us by the miserable
from their newspaper files Of last July certain
debate which took place at political meeting in
Buffalo, where Gerrit Smith, as usual, was ready
for war to put down slavery constitution or no
constitution and where Governor Reeder was
pretty much Of the same opinion. The sneaks Of
the Journal republish these proceedings for the
purpose of spreading the false idea that the
squatter troubles, how developed into civil war
in Kansas, are entirely the fruits Of Eastern fana
ticism. But in this shameless view of the sub
iect, the whole truth of history is suppressed.
The squatter difficulties in Kansas originated
with Mr. Atchison and his Missouri border ruff
fans, and in furtherance of deliberate consp-
racy entered into at Washington between Atchi-
son and JEFF. Davis, our secession Secretary of
War, the object Of which was the conversion Of
Kansas into slave State by ballot stulfing or
by the bayonet. Ballot stuting having failed.
the bayonet is now brought into requisitlon.
That's all. Why is it that the sneaks Of the Jour
nal Of Commerce will still persist in suppressing
the facts of history?
Our second specimen of emascuated jour
nalism is the respectable old Miss
Nancy dgnifed National Intelligencer, at Wash
ington. After having lived in clover as party
spoilsmen for half century, the venerable
editors of the Kaseligencer can't tell what side
they belong to, and go they proclaim their ncu-
trality. If they were sure of the party in the
next Congress that would give them sop in The
way of public printing to the tune Of two hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars, or any thing
FROM that sum up to eight hundred thousand, we
wonder if there would be any difficulty as to the
present course Of the Latell;geacer? It's editors,
during the last fifty years, have received several
millions Of the spoils for their patriotic services
to the country; but they have always been re
markably slow, seldom publishing an important
bit of Washington news till after its appearance
in the New York journals.
These two specimens Of emasculated journal.
ism are about the strongest cases of the kind that
now exist but the whole class are fast dying
out for such miserable twaddlers of the old Miss
Nancy school are not adapted to this age of en-
lightened public opinion.

Maine Gone for Fremont by Twelve Thou


The intelligence received lag night from Maine
is most decidedly in favor Of Fremont The re
publican Cor Fremont) candidate for Governor
has been elected by ten or tceice thousand myory
in favor of the young Pathfinder
This result is another great fact showing the
drift of the current now rushing forward in IA
vor of an entire revolution in the present wicked
government of this country. All New England,
New York, and the entire Northwest, may now BE-
setdown in favor Of Fremont. There will be no
contest anywhere in the free States except in
Pennsylvania or New Jersey, and these can be tri-
umphanty carried for Fremont by action, ac-
ton, action. So we go.
We begin to be sorry for our obi, amiable and
kind hearted friend Mr. Buchansn-but we have
little sympathy for Mr.. Fillmore; his partsans
have behaved so dsgracefully towards the pri-
vate relations of the opposing candidate, that all
such factions as the Know Nothings cnght to be
swept frem the face of the earth with litter con-
tempt. The a;rocious military despctism at
tempted to he established in this county, as ex-
empliied in the policy Of Pierce, JEFF. Davis and
Caleb Gushing towards Kansas, win receive its
proper reward by az intelligent and free people.
Al the religious sects Protestant and Catkolic-
all the best portions ofthe old parties Of demo
Gratis and whigs-are uniting in favor OF Ere
mont everywhere in the North and West. Friends
Of Fremont, 60 to wori-the road is open
the heavens are bright-snd triumph is before
you.

FASHIONABLE LITERARY IxTELiIGEScE.--Dur-
ing the past twelve months two Of our most
noted iReroteurs--a male and female-have each
been engaged in great works Of original charac-
ter but differing essentially in the subjects treated
upon and in the ATTITUDES where the scenes
are laid The Chevalier Wikoif-already famous
for bis book descriptive of the prisons OF Genoa
aid his love scrapes In the Alps-has been hard
at work for the past year. and has now ready to
put into the hands Of the printer another brochure
descriptive Of his connection with European d.
plomacy and society and giving full descrip.
tions of all the celebrities whom he met on the
other side OF the Atlantic. The other work il
just out II il from the pen Of Mrs. Harriet
Beecber Stowe, whose genius and inspiration are
monopolscd by the Niger celebrities and niger
fashonables OF the slavcholding States. Both
these distinguished literary personages, although
apparently pursuing paths which are wide apart
have yet striking traits in common The Cheva-
lier Wikor dawns upon the world during the
middle Of the nineteenth century-Mrs Beecher
Stowe appears ct the same time, when all the
ordinary subjects Tor romances, novels, sketches,
and light literature Of every kind have been
exhausted.
The Chevalicr Wikof on ono side, and Mrs.
Stowe on the other, are compelled to strike out
new and untried paths. The one brings out the
characters, movements, conversations Of Napo-
leon, Palmerston, and all the magnates Of the
Foreign Office while the other rcproduces in
bold relief the characters, conversations, eccen-
tricities and drolleres Of the ebo shin and giz-
card foot heroes Of our Southern plantations.
Mrs Stoves book has just been published, as an
clectioneering document, they say while the
Chevalier Wikoa has placed his work in the
hands Of the printer, has posted off to Washing
ton to post up the Secretary of State upon the
latest secrets Of the British and French govern
ments upon American affairs

Political Fr;AScIERIsG-On OF our Washing
ton correspondents states that a subscription OF
thirteen thousand dollars has been raised at
Washington for the purpose Of establishing a
tremendous democratic organ in this city--that
one gentleman from the South has subscribed
five thousand dollars of that sunl-that there is a
great deal Of dissatisfaction among the sub
scribers, and that no organ has yet made its
appearance in this metropolis corresponding to
the hopes Of those who have invested their money
in the concern Without being able to vouch for
the correctness Of the report in this particular
case, we are very certain that large collections
are taken from people who are duped by the
confidence men Of all parties in the present con-
test. 1t is very well known that in this NJ well
in all other great political contests, vast sums
of money are drawn from wealthy lazy people
the greater part Of which money is abso-
lutely stolen by these political conf
dence men; and, in many instances, not
single dollar is devoted to the
purposes for which il is subscribed. There are
men, and women, too, both in this city and in
Washington, who live by this subscription drawn
from ignorant, unwary, wealthy people, who have
no practical knowledge ofpo litics or Of the means
used to carry on the contest Thus it is stated
that the merchants Of this city have mod, up
fund Of one hundred thousand dollars to help
along the election of Fillmore. We win ven
iure TO state that not five thousand dollars OF
that sum viii ever he applied to the purposes for
which it was subscribed. The greater proper
ton Of il will be duly parcelled out and divided
among the political camp followers and swind-
lers attached to this party, and may account
for the outrageous attacks, the odious vulgarity,
the shocking profanity, the foul ISLANDERS upon
private character-sparing not even woman-the
atrocious iasolence and ungeatlemanly attacks
made upon the other candidates by certain disre-
putable newspapers and certain dsreputablc
speakers throughout the country. We also
learn that about fifty thousand dollars
were subscribed in New York, Boston and Phila-
dcpha, by each Of the parties, for the purpose Of
carrying the State of Maine. This has made
grand haul for the vultures who hang upon every
party; and ii has probably been kept and divided
TO support these fellows in luxurious living and
gambling. Such is the harvest Of the stragglers
who follow party fortunes during these exciting
times. As specimen Of this il is known that
some two or three years ago distinguished poll
tician and fnancier in this city gave to Forney--
who Is the chief manager Of The Buchanan party
in Pennsylvania sum Of ten thousand dollars
to establish himself in the Union newspaper 1t
Il also known that the check for this amount was
presented at the Dry Dock Bank, through one
Of Tie principal gambling houses in Broadway:
and il is fair presumption that the whole
amount was lost in ono Of the splendid saloons.
This fact which Forney cannot deny, and it IN
folds some secrets which every one can under
stand.

time settled and established their own institutions
But the miserable, imbeciie, weak and corrupt
administration with which we have been afflicted
for our manifold sins and transgressions, has been
converted through the controlling influence Of
Jefferson Davis and Caleb Gushing, into spe-
cies of military despotism, which has been every
day growing more aud more fierce, unrelenting
and intolerant. Jefferson Davis, with his Cabi-
net colleagues Of the same way Of thinking, have
united with Atchison, a broken down politician
Of Missouri, and have attempted by force of arms
and by military despotism, such as has
been heretofore unknown in thiscountry, to en-
graft the system Of slavery on the institutions Of
Kansas, to deprive the people Of the Territory of
the right to determine the matter for themselves,
and TO compel them to adopt the slavery system,
whether they would or not
This, then, is really the great question now at
issue before the American people-whethcr they
will tolerate and submit to this sort of military
espotism--whe,her they win be governed by
public opinion and by the laws and constitution
Of the country, or by the sword and bayonet
The people are called upon to say in the ap
preaching election whether they approve of the
attempt by Mr.. Pierce and his co-workers
Wis Gushing and Wise--to change the coastitu-
tional form Of government under which we have
hitherto lived into q Ruthless, lawless military
despotism Buchanan and Fillmore are repre-
sentatives of the latter principle. They sanction
all the atrocious acts Of the government in rela-
ton to Kansas. Fremont represents the princ-
pie Of popular right, Of constitutional govern
ment, Of liberty untrammelled by bayoncts.
and of the right of tie people to self-goyern
ment. The people Of the United States have
got to choose between these candidates and prn
ciples.
