Colonel Fremont's Reported Letter,

A article appeared in a weekly paper some
days SINCE mentioning cnrrent report that
Colonel John c. Fremont had written letter
stating that, in consideration of several exist
ing circumstances, he IS not and will be a can
didate for the Presidency in 1860 In the
first place, it is intimated that he declares
" that he has no idea of sinking himself in q
grave which has been rendered futile and, ia
the second pla e, cannot consent to become
the standardhearer OF party with whose
entire creed he confesSes no coincidence. He
says that he does not adopt, and never has
adopted the creed of the Republicans and
that although in the year 1860 he consented
to become the candidate of that party, out of
respect for the confidence they professedly re-
posed in him, he did not give his adhesion to
their entire code of political doctrine. He
further Says--according to report-that he is
confident that he would have been elected
President Of the United States 1856, but for
an ilI-timed letter written by his late fatherin.
law, Colonel Thomas H. Benton" 1t is said
that Colonel Fremont's letter closes with the
following in substance
do not desire to be a candidate again
for the Presidency | consented to hold that
relation in 1856, against my better Judgment
would rally around me possessed the power
essential to my election and 1 confess that
the bauble,' as it might have been called by
Oliver Cromwell, possessed attractions which
| could not well resist But | would not again
encounter all the vexation, modification and
annoyance | then encountered, if the reward
were to be ten Thousand presdencieS
Whether Colonel Fremont will or will not
accept the Presidential nomination in 1860, if
rendered to him, it may be regarded as certain
that he will not do SO before it shall be offer
ed Since his defeat in 1885, his attention
has been engrosSed entirely by his private bus
mess, and has written no letters in relation to
the Presidency. He has no weaknesses in that
direction. When he accepted the nomination
three years since, he placed himself unequivo-
cally upon the platform Of the Philadelphia
Convention and since that time has written
or said nothing intimatng any change of SEN
timent or position, or which would inuro his
prospects as candidate next year. Reports
which represent him as writing letters to de-
cline the Presidential nomination, when it IS
by no means certain that he will receive itare

The Elections.

The result of the October elections has
been everywhere the triumph of the Republi-
can cause. In this State the Administration
Of JAMEs BUCHANAN has the second time
been signaly rebuked, and the corruption and
the want of principle of the Black Democracy
repudiated. The majority for the Republican
State Ticket will probably be about &c, 600
This result is the more significant and satislac-
tory because the Administration adherruts had
been quietly and actively at work, hoping to
achieve favorable result, while on the part
of the Opposition, there has been no concert,
no exertions put forth, relying for success up
on the unpopuarity Of tue National Admins
tration.
The Legislature will also be strongly Oppo-
sition. OF the Senators holding, eleven were
Opposition and eleven were Democrats. EIev-
eu were to be voted for this year, of which the
Opposition certainly elect ten, with one doubt
full. The House will probably contain 60 Op
position to 40 Democrats.
In Philadelphia, W. B. Mann, Opp. was
elected District Attorney. Sullivan County
elects Republican Sheriff
MINNEsoTA.-Full returns have not reached
us from Minnesota, but enough to show deci-
ded gains for the Republicans. There is no
doubt of the election of Republican Congress
men, Governor and State Ticket, and ma
jority in both branches of the Legislature.
OHIo.-The Republican majority for the
State Ticket is about 1900 The Senate
will be composed of % Republicans and 10
Democrats aud the House Of 64 Republicans
and 40 Democrats.
The Legislature just chosen will have the
privilege of electing a U. S. Senator in the
place of PuGH, and there is every reason to
suppose that CHASE will again occupy theplacc
he SO ably filled in that body.
IcwA.-Nothing definite has been received
from Iowa. Slight Republican gains are re
ported over the vote in 1857, when the State
gave small Republican majority We have
no doubt Iowa adheIes to the casue Of Free

ADMISSION OF KANSAS.


| Returns OF the recent election in Kansas IN
dicate the adoption OF the Constitution framed
at WyandUttc. II remaius now to be seen
what disposition Congress will make of the
rcXt application for admission. Topeka and
Lcc,nptou have become matters Of history aud
I tie policy by which their ri ction was secured
has so thoroughly dcmoralized the Democratic
purity that II is doubtful if the Administration
will dare repeat the dose. \ majority of the
next Congress- as Republicans or as auti-Le-
compton Democrats, are committed to the ad-
mission of Kansas, in spite Of the provisions of
the English Bill, aud the settlement then made
As question of rrude"ce, the Democratic
party may wish to exclude Kansas for another
year. As question of policy, they may feel
compelled to admit her, lest the doubtful dis
advantage Of three votes in the electoral col
lege against them may be changed into the
certain effects that would be produced by any
further factious or arbitrary opposition. II
the Democracy scorns Kansas again, it will
reap a whrl wind of popular indignation which
will indicate sowing of the most marvellously
productive seed. 1t has professed to desire the
removal of the Kansas question from the arena
of politics. 1t is in its power to accomplish
that end, and it will hardly care to assume the
responsibility of keeping open the wounds of
" bleeding Kansas" though the Senate and
the President may most strongly desire it
After all, the Wyandotte constitution is not
merely an expression Of the wish of Kansas
to enter the Union as a State. 1t is the re-
cord and the triumph Of five years conflict
against hostile administrations, brutal ruffiau-
ism, and the doubts and sneers of large party
in the older States II is the first fruits of the
irrepressible conflict" slowly but surely
fought, now won, unhappily, by blood, but
vindieating forever the potency Of free, when
cOu.ending against slave labor.

OFFICIAL VOTE FOR SENATOR.

p@~ a sad disaster took place on the
Tuscarawas branch of the Cleveland and Pitts
burg railroad, Saturday evening. As a train
was passing One Leg Greek, the whole was
precpitated into the creek, and the engineer,
Jake Reynolds, ,and fireman, Sam Comes, killed.
The baggage-maser was hurt, and a man rid
ing on the engine badly cut in the leg. Engine
badly smashed. The bridge had been recently
placed in thorough repair, and had been ex-
amined and approved just previous to the ac-
cident. On the evening preceding the disaster,
the train ran over cow near that place, kill
ing it and throwing the cars off the track
Some parties in the neighborhood made threats
of revenge, so that Reynolds, whose engine
had killed the COW, expressed his conviction on
Saturday that he should be killed before reach
ing home that night His impression was un-
fortunately true one.

Insurrection at Harper's Ferry
EXPRESS TRAIN FIRED INTO!

BALTIMORE, Monday, Oct II.
A dispatch Just received here from Freder-
ick, and dated this morning, states that an
insurrecton has broken out at Harper'S Ferry,
where an armed band of Abolitionists have
full possession Of the Government Arsenal
The express train going east was twice fred
into, and one of the railroad hands and negro
was killed, while they were endeavoring to get
the train through the town. The insurrection-
lists stopped and arrested two men, who had
come to town with load of wheat, and, seiz-
lug their wagon, loaded it with rifles, and sent
them into Maryland. The insurrectionists
number about two hundred and fifty whites, and
are aided by gang Of negroes. At last &C.
counts fighting was going on.
The al owe is given just it was received here.
It seems very improbable, and should be re-
ceived with great caution, until confirmed by
further adViceS

A later dispatch received at the Railroad
Office, saws the affair has been greatly exag-
gerated. The reports had their foundation in
