inelv anxious to "sct the example Of this
rich blending Of blood!
We turn with disgust from this absurd
doctrine, advocated in such impassioned. not
to say indecent language. As the Statesman
aptly remarks, " The poison Of the eloquent
periods will need but n little common sense
for its an,;dote." This then, it appears. is
tile reason why the " radicals have plotted
a distraction of the Union for the past twenty
years-the hope long deferred Of "raising the
mAde race to an cquahty miM tic ncgro.'
This is the reason why the radicals wish a
President of their own choosing. This is to
be the practical result if their standard bearer,
Fremont, is elected. Verify. We do live in

upon is, a picnic dinner, grafton, reading Of
the Declaration of Independence, and a sub
scription ball in aid of the Sanitary Fund in
the evening. The citizens Of Steilacoom, Sc
attic, and other places on the Sound and else.
where in the Territory, and the loyal Ameri-
can citizens in Victoria, are cordially invited,
by resolution, to participate with us. Mr.. p.

RETURNED.-Our much-rcspccteG towns
man, Gen. w. w. Miller, has returned from
his visit to the Atlantic States, looking hale
and hearty as usual. Tie says the almost
universal opinion of leading men in the East,
including army officers, is that tho rebels can
not, by any possibility hold out more than
two Or three months longer. He also ex-
presses the opinion that if the Presidential
election were to take place now, Lincoln and
Johnson would be elected by reclamation, and
he sees no good reason why they will not
be equally popular in November next. He
thinks the hope INDUCED by many of Lincoln's
political enemies, that Gen. Grant will per-
nit his name to be used by the Democracy"
against the Union ticket, as altogether improb.
able, for he is understood to be an ardent adj
mirer of Mr.. Lincoln personally. and as np-
proving most cordially the general policy of
his Administration. We most heartily well
come Gen. Miller back to his old home.

As the question was about being taken.
Raymond urged that the vote be taken by

FREMoNr's LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE.--
The most remarkable thing we discover in
Frcmonts letter. accepting the nomination Of
the Radical Abolition Convention, which as
scmbled in Cleveland, Ohio, one week before
the Union Convention met in Baltimore, is,
the compound of fool and knavc, as is exhib-
tied in the paragraph in the telegraphic
dispatches we publish in this issue. We have
never been an admirer of Fremont, having
always regarded him as an arrogant,
pompous aristocrat, with more %impudencc
than brains. but VIC had conceded to him
some little honesty and magnanimity. The
spirit and tone of his letter, will satisfy those
who arc not blinded by fanaticism, that he is
destitute of both. 1t is difficult for one to re-
strain an outburst of Indignation when they
read his fippant pratings about the e~xtrava.
gance and the %ruinous tendencies of Mr.. Lin
coln's Administration, when it is remembered
that he has practiced the most absurd extrava-
gance ever witnessed in the country. For
example: he paid $4,000 per month rent
for headquarters in st. Louis, and kept a
b~ody-guard of three hundred men. A fine
example to talk about extravaganza.
