Frcmont,s Letter of Withdrawal.

- - 5.a BesToN, September q, 1864.
Gentleman: feel it my duty to make one step
nore in the direction indicated by my letter of the
25th of August, and withdraw my name from the
list OF candidates.
The Presidential question has in effect been en-
tered upon in such way that the union of the Re
publican party has become a paramount necessity.
The policy Of the Democratic party signifies either
separation or re establishment with slavery The
CHICAGO platform is simply separation. Gen. Nc
Clelan's letter Of acceptance is establishment
with slavery.
The Republican candidate on the contrary, is
pledged TO the re-establishment of the Union with
out slavery aud however hesitating his policy may
be, the pressure Of his party will force him to it
Between these issues, think no man Of the lib
eral party can remain in doubt; and believe l am
consistent with my antecedents in Withdrawing not
to aid 10 the triumph of air. Lincoln but to do my
part towards preventing the election Of the Demo-
cratic candidate.
In respect to Mr.. Lincoln continue to hold ex-
actly the sentiments contained in my letter of &C
ceptance. | consider that his administration has
been, politically, anLitGrity and financially fail
ure, and that its necessary continuance is cause %
regret for the country.
There never was greater unanimity in coun
try than exhibited here at the fall of Sumter
and the South was powerleSs in the face oft. But
Mr.. Lincoln completely parayzel this generou:
feeling. He destroyed the strength of the position
and divided the North when he declared to The
South that slavery should be protected. lie has
built up for the South strength which otherwis,
they would have never attained; and this has giyer
them an advocate in the CHICAGO platform.
I The Cleveland Convention was to have been thu
| open avowal OF that condemnation which men hat
been freely expressing to each other for the pas
two years, and which Lad been made fully know
to the President. But in the uncertain condition o
| affairs leading men were not found willing to max
| public dissatisfaction and condemnation which
could have rendered Mr.. Lincoln's nomination i'm
! possible; and their continued silence and supper
established for him character among tho. peopl
| which leaves now 10 choice
United the republican party is reasonably sur
OF success; divided, the result of the Presidential
election is, at the least doubtful.

ing or disavowing the order; and if he
did not issue any such order, then of course
he will instruct Mr.. Solicitor Settle TO in
dict and prosecute all the parties colcern-
ed in making the unlawful arrests.
But suppose he did issue such an order,
it is null and cold, being without authority
of law, and in positive violation OF the
Constitution and Bill of Rights, which
says that "the military shall 1IooGys be
kept subordinate to and goUerned by the
ciViI p6aoer;" and being thus unlawful,
will afford no protection to those who may
be indicted for false imprisonment in con-
sequence of arrests made under it, and if
they were to consult their own safety they
would cease at once.
But what most astonishes me is, that
such an order ever should have been obey
ed, especially by that large number of the
militia and Home Guard who are Justices
of the Peace. By so doing they not only
virtually abandoned their civil functions,
but actually assisted the military in usurp-
ing them. Of what avail are the OWL
courts, when the Justices composing them
thus allow themselves to be made the an
struments of. their overthrow If, as a
Justice of the Peace, had been liable to
militia or Home Guard duty, and had
obeyed such an order, 1 should feel that l
had disgraced my magisterial robes, and
deserved to be .impeached. would have
submitted to all and more than all the tor
lures which they inflicted upon thet-
:,elpless. female victims, before would, in
obedience to an usurped authority, have
aided in striking fatal blow at the Con-
stitution and liberties of my State, and my
own civil functions. If information had
been laid before me on the oath of re-
spectacle informant, that any parties were
guilty of the crime of harboring deserters,
would have issued my warrant "to any
constable or other lawful officer" to arrest
the parties, and would have bound them
over, committed or discharged them, &C
cording to the evidence elected on an in
Vestigation. More than this never would
have done, and l hope that this is all thai
Gov. Vance ever intended by his order
but then he shouJd haUeaddressed 1t to hiI
cjU1 and not his military officers. This
would have done to bring the party tt
Justice; but what makes these arrests par
ticularly disgraceful is that their purpose
was torture.
Such proceedings are sad commentary
upon the degeneracy of the times. The
fact that they are tamely submitted to
proves that our people have lost that spiri
of liberty which animated their ancestor
that they are even now subjugated ant
ready 10 obey the edicts of despot, an(
if so, for what is this struggle continued

EXEMPTION OF COLLEGE STUDENTs.-The war is
necessarily interfering very seriously with the edu-
cation Of the country. Boys are now put into ser

18th year. Just at the time they are beginning 10
be able to comprehend text books, their educatlon
at school or college terminates. Nothing but tne
most pressing necessity could justify such measures
on the part of our authorities. But the necessity
exists, and for the time the evil must be borne
We Cannot believe that Congress will continue tne
present law in force longer than the exlgences OIL
the country absolutely demand it 1t Is the inter,
est of the whole land that the boys be spared ana
that they may be we'll trained, so as to take the
places of their fathers and brothers who have lalen
in the war; The remark attributed to PRESIDENT
Davis, two or three years ago. about grln@shg see"
corn when boys are put into service, conveys an
important truth 1t is of course the desire OF the
President as we'll as every one else connected with
the general government to encourage the cause OF
education, and to extend the season allotted TO
study as far as can be done consistently with other
interests Of more immediate and pressing impor-
lance In accordance with this disposition, and in
compliance with the request Of the Board OF Trus-
tees of Hampden Sidney College Va, we learn that
the Secretary of War has decided to exempt from
military service the students of that institution ~ho
shall become II gears of age during the session.
All such will be permitted to remain at college un-
til the end of that term. This exemption IS grant
ed, however, with the understanding that no STU
dent will be admitted unless under II years OF age
at the beginning of the session, and that the stu
dents will be organized into company for local de-
fence, in emergencies. -N0rth- Carolina FTeS0ySe
