Fremont and German
Republican Opinions.

The st. Louis Neue Zeit, German Re-
publican paper of prominence and infu-
ence, in commenting on the ardor of GER
tain Illinois papers for the denomination of
LINCOLN, asks:
Are the Democrats then perhaps right
when they assert that the Republic and the
self-government of the people are coming
to an end and that endeav0rs are being
made to enter into. the footsteps of Louis
Napoleon? In that case it would certainly
be time to cut loose openly and decisively
from the Republican party and its idol.
The Davenport Qowa) Democrat. another
German paper, says on the same subject:
Now who will be our next President,
Fremont or Lincoln? We fear Lincoln.-
But If so, then the people have the clearest
proof that the office-hunters and politicians
rule the country, and that they are used as
voting cattle instead ofbeingthe sovereigns.
When will the people finally take their own
matters into tlieir own hands? When will
they awake to freedom and independence,
and turn away from those who seek to
swindle them on various pretexts, or because
they are stupid and seryile by nature?
The Boston Pioneer, another German or
gan, is not behind the Neue Zeit and Demo-
crat in its opposition to LINCOLN. In reply
to Washington correspondent the Pioneer
says: M
Does our correspondent think, the radi-
Gals, the people, should donothing but leave
the whole matter in the hands of a Conven-
ton, whose decision they must servilely ac-
cept In profound obedience? Why, tis the
very purpose of the German organization
to oppose this swindle and to nominate a
peoples candidate in advance, and not a
Conventions candidates. Shall the people
let the wire-pullers do all the work, and be
their "independent" lacqueys? In our con-
viction, Fremontis the worthiest candidate,
most suited to the Germans.
Hence we propose him and insist on our
proposal, until il becomes evident that by
clinging to Fremont we should help worse
one-for instance, Lincoln-to victory
Whenever this is apparent, there is time
enough left to take another candidate who
can beat that worse one.
The conservative Unionists have already
nominated Gen. Mcclellan; the Administra-
tion party looks up, to Lincoln. Let the
radical Germans show, by nominating a
Fremont, that they will neither take half
man nor traitor. ra,r .Fftfa fau

IN. Defsnse Scf N Constitutional
I, Guarantee Not Ne ;essnriiy a iSe-
f.nse Of the Thing Guaranteed as
Right I'm Itself.


,i Nothing can be more absurd---nothing
N more unjust than to charge that those VINO
contend for a restoration Of the Union upon
the basis of the Constitution as it Is are thc
friends and advocates of slavery. The de-
tense of constitutional guarantee is by no
means a defense of the thing or right guar
anteed in itself, and apart from the Consti-
tut;on.s There is no Constitution or frame
of government, and it is not In human Wis
dom to devise one, that does not contain
grants and privileges, the exercise oil which
Il not considered morally wrong by some
of the citizens. No one man Is, or can be
suited with the Government in all itpoints.
This arises from the different views men
take Of right and wrong, and from the iact
that all government is compromise OF these
..eo conflicting views. The only way in which
any government can be sustained and an
swer its great end, the common good OF all
is for the people to agree upon Constitu-
tion or frame of government and unite IN
maintaining that Constitution or govern
ment in those points WHICH, III V'icii wow
are Objectionable as well as in those wlllch
accord with their sentiments. without
such accord and union it is impossible for
any popular or free government to endure
A man who is really devoted to his coun-
try and its Constitution and Government
will contend as zealously.for, and defend as
earnestly and courageously the constltu-
tional rights of others as his own. He VIII
regard an infringement upon the rights oi
those who differ from him on religious, po-
litical or moral questions, as infringement
upon his own rights. In a government
founded upon written Constitution, there
can be no security, no freedom and no safe
enjoyment Of any right, but in faithful
observance of that Constitution, however,
it may, in some of its provisions, conflict
with individual opinion and private judg-
ment.

The Presidents Contribution of n

From the Chicago Times.l ~
A little incident in the history Of the late
Sanitary Fair in this city, not hitherto made
public here, comes to us in a foreign jour
nal-the Glasgow Chronicle-througll its
correspondence from this city, as follows:
The ladies have actually wheedled the
President out of the original draft of the
emancipation proclamation. Such. papers
are generally preserved in the archives OF
also written to the President for the ,origi-

Military Interference in State Elec'
tiOns. b

OF all the arbitrary acts of the present
Administration, perhaps, the most outrage
ons, is its military interference innon-seced-
ed and loyal States with the free exercise OF
the elective franchise. 1t is in direct viola
tion of the Federal Constitution and is a
trampling down of civil liberty. 1t seems
a part and most essential part of the pol
icy of Mr.. LINCOLN and his Administration
to carry by force or fraud the elections in
every State. To this end every other con-
sideration is apparently sacrificed or made
subservient. H
II there be anything which is guaranteed
to the States by the Federal Constitution
if there be any right which is reserved tc
the people of the several States over which
the Federal Government has no control-ii
is the exclusive power and right to deter
mine who shall be electors, their qualifica-
tions and the place and manner of voting
If there be any one thing that is of the es-
sence Of republican form of government
in each State, 1t is this right in the people
thereof to say by their Constitution and laws
who are and who are not qualified voters.
If the Federal Government, through the
President or any subordinate officer, civil
or military, interferes with this right and
sets up and endeavors to enforce a test OF
qualification in voter unknown to the
Constitution and laws of the State, it is a
direct Infringement upon and a palpable
violation of that provision of the Constitu-
tien which requires the United States to
guarantee to every State republican form
of government. There can be no republi-
can form of government as there can be
no civil liberty, in State where, the ques-
tion as to who shall and who shall not ex-
ercise the right of suffrage is determined,
not by the sovereign people of the
State, but by some other power. They, then,
become, to all intents and purposes, the
vassals and slaves of that other usurping
power.
President LINCOLN professed in his last
annual message, to a great anxiety to see
that the constitutional guarantee of a re-
publican form of government was kept in
regard to what he calls the "disloyal" States.
He proposed to keep it by seeking to over
turn the old recognized, constitutional and
republican forms of government in those
States, and establish new ones which he
and his partisans would consider republi-
can. The. same notion or scheme he has
attempted to carry out in States that he
acknowledges to be 'loyal," and to be in
possession Of republican forms of govern
ment and of all their constitutional rights.
Thus, instead of guaranteeing, hehascaused
the Federal Government to. become an in
strument for the destruction Of republican
governments in ssloyar' States.
