1amrS LANNON'S TREAs0Ns
We nrint herewith the text OF the letter
~ Ianca Harmon, Of this city, to Lef. Da.
Wis dated January 18th, 1851: In it the
;nfan,o,ts treason Of the writer is confessed.
W leave Mr.. Larmon to the punishment
Of tle loyal community whose patriotism
he has outraged, and whose dearest inter.
ests he would have betrayed; and we care
not how severe that punishment is, so that
it Is within the obligations that I'LL good
citizens owe to the law. To decline COM
paniouship with. him in church or society,
to mass him in the street as one would pass
convicted felon, to refuse to deal with
him, and to speak his name only with
signs Of contempt and execratiou, these
arc the least manifestations Of public dis
pleasure, that he, knowing his own Grim
ina1ity, can expect. Under q government
less lenient to traitors than ours, he would
be arrested and made to expiate portion
of bis onence within the walls Of prison,
thankful, Il, after thewar, which hehelped
to incite, is over, he should be permitted
to make his way back South to the COM
panionship Of others like him, without the
loss Of lis head. What this Government
will do, We do not care to ask. The Dis
trict Attorney may be able to tell
Mr. Larmon Is the type and representa-
tive Of class to whom treason in the North
owes much of its activity and strength.
Poor white folks in the slave States where
they were born; but little superior in cduca-
cation and Accomplishments to the" "niggers''
among whom they were raised, and whose
dinlect they hare borrowed; living for no
higher purpose than accommodating money;
wishing for money only that they may be
able to buy human beings, whose province
it shall be to work without pay; unacquaint-
ed with the true theory upon which adjust
governments rest; incapable Of observing
the:workings Of the principle of freedom
which prevails at the North-these. men

yet doing in our midst large share of the

II hear that it is the intention Of those in
terested in the Peterhof to carry the case up
TO higher court: The decision just rendered
against the vessel and cargo is claimed TO be

Suspicion, 1t is alleged, was largely employed
In making up the verdict, and vigorous meas

" Free Speech and Fremont"

Gen. Fremont wrote the following letter to the
great convention held at Concord, N. H., the 18th
inst:
New YORK, June l6, 1868.
Ny Dear Sir find that | must give up my
hope to be with you tomorrow. The engage
ments Of which told you have, as | anticipated
obliged me to remain here To this is now added
the critical condition of public Affairs. If | had
been able 70 attend the meeting, | should have
addressed it mainly to the point which recent
events in the West had made the uppermost ques.
ton of the day, and which the people consider so
vital that in Ohio they are in danger OF accepting
as its representative a man who uses the doctrine
Of free speech 70 defense-a shield, not the flag
under which he has served-and the conduct Of
whose life shows that he is not willing to accept
it as a complete principle compromising all men
and all questions, and covering all territory. In
this country men will go with principle, and
il you allow false leaders to assume yours, the
people will go with them because the principle
carries them. should have urged the Republic
can Democracy Of New Hampshire to assert dis
tinctly their old principles, and to maintain the
noble position which belongs to them.
lhope, my dear sir, you will insist upon this and
not allow men who are openly thwartng the OBJ
jects Of government to wrest to their aid the vita
principles of your party, to be used, in the Con
federate fashion, 10 mislead our own people ans
our own flag with its old inscription Of free speect
and free press. But while re-asserting those prin
ciples upon which the Administration went into
power, and against which the South r'beIled,
trust your people will marx plainly the broad lint
which separates them from the men who are real
y opposing the war, by making equally dStinc
their determination to support the government IL
putting the rebellion down. This done, fre,
speech would be secured-free speech for Wen
dell Phillips az well as for Mr.. Valandigham.
Since saw you, events have brought more pc
rsmptory duties. No words of urging to consoli
dated action could have the force which is give
by the advance OF the rebel troops. Your peopl
will feel that they have now more need for actlo
than discussion but whatever they arrive at,
trust they will recognize that whether it be agains
the rebels in the field, or in elections at home
there is neither victory or safety in halfway meas
ures or compromises.
Yours truly, J. c. FREMONT.
