chance of success this Fall. in case their

original, capable man as their candidate
for the highest position on this continent;

ponded as follows:

ment to move still more quickly. / refer
to this because | have lately witnessed

The people seem to think our armies are
wearing out without corresponding ex-
haustion of the enemy This is a mis-
take: our resources in the field are greater
than his. We have three times his home
resources untouched, and can lose far more
than the South and still break down the
rebellion. repeat, there is no cause for
dependency. Let every citizen do all in
his power, and the result is sure.

Some new form of Confederacy should be sub

Events may prove that the causes of our calami-

found to proceed not merely from the blindness
Of prejudice, pride Of opinion, violence of party

may be traced to implacable combinations of in

radical and permanent n separation by equitable
arrangement will be preferable to alliance by con
straint among nominal friends, but real enemies,
influenced by mutual hatred and jealousy, and
inviting by intestine divisions, contempt and ag-
gression from abroad. But severance of the
Union by one or more States against the will of
the rest. and especially in n time of war, can be
justified only by absolute necessity. These

we term Il t,day, are those Of expediency. These
are considered and combatted as insufficient to

more prompt, dashng, brave and gallant" If
such was our opinion in regard TO the officer for
whom this compliment was designed one week
ago our admiration has been immeasurably in
creased for the man by reason of this noble effort
in behalf OF constitutional freedom; and we may
now add what we then said, that by his speech
here on Thursday. he has entitled himself
to the lasting gratitude of every
in Kentucky who desires to see the
Union aud the Constitution preserved and the
rights of the people ander both upheld and main
tanned against the assaults of those, on the one
hand, who are seeking to destroy them by armed
rebellion. and the other, of those who are
seeking to crush them under the iron heel Of mil
tary power soldier of tie Union army, he
is bending all his energies TO the extinction OF
the rebellion; but his opposition to Jef Davis.
who IS endeavoring by arms to destroy that
Union, does not make him less sensitive TO the
rapid strides which the Abolition party in charge
of the Government are making toward a military
despoism; and while he was ready in the future,
as he had been in the past, 20 fight the one with
the weapons he had chosen, he stood equally
prepared, as freeman, TO denounce the policy of
the other as to be denounced hy every true loyal
KenIuckian. And he used the very strongest
terms in which to characterize the startling usur-
pltions of power blythe dominant party. He was
not afraid of the hackneyed cry of giving aid
and comfort to the enemy" when he denounced
these usurpatons, and he warned the people that
if they did not stand up for their constitutional
rights, which had been gradually encroaehed up
on from the commencement Of the rebellion,
the day was not distant when they would be
slaves.
Col Wolford closed his speech by saving that
he that there were always in every
public assembly now a days "pimps and inform
ers, who made it their business to report to the
fountains of power and patronage what was said
in opposition to them. He called upon them to
report what he said faithfully, and among other
things they might inform Mr. Lincoln. if he de-
sired to know what those in the army whom he
considered his minions thought OF his official
course, that "their opinion that he a ty-
rant and usurper,' who was seeking, by over
riding all constitutional barriers and limitations,
to trample upon the liberties of his country.
But shall follow Col. WolfOrd no further,
and will conclude this very imperfect notice of
his address by remarking that it of the
bOldest and most manly speeches that has ever
been made to our people Ii is needless to add
that it was received with the most rapturous APP
plause by the large audience assembled on the

The Fremont Platform.

The New York Herald. in speculating upon
the next Presidency, thus defines the FRKMoST
or radical Republican platform:
But there is yet another Richmond in the field
in the person of General Fremont. Against
Abraham Lincoln he stands somewhat in the po-
sition that Martin Van Buren, occupied in lS4S-
badly used man, resolved upon a comprehen-
German a merican National Club (Fremon) of
the Seventeenth ward of this city have doubtless
correctly defined his position in their recent rcso
luton, that under no circumstances whatever
will they support President Lincoln for second
term The new radical Fremont organ. which
has Just been ushered to the world from this me-
tropolis. under the suggestive name of the Nep
Nation, broadly and in every possible way fore
shadows war to the death by Gen. Fremont
and his radicals against Abraham Lincoln. The
Fremont platform is one, too, upon which the
great radical German element and all the out
and out red republicans and black republicans of
the country may heartily combine. Its leading
features are:
First-Absolute, complete and immediate lib
erty. without distinction OF race color.
Second-The absolute maintenance of the
Monroe doctrine
Thrd-Another and better military organiza-
ton than that Of President Lincoln
Fourth--A dminution OF the powers OF the
Executive and larger responsibility of Cabines
Ministers TO Congress.
Fifth--A nation in the place Of confedera-
ton.

The Cincinnati voiksfreund Gone

The Cincinnati Volksfreund. the only paper
printed in the German language which for some
years has professed any attachment to the Dem
ocratic party. has renouaced that organization,
and gone over bag and baggage TO the Fremont
wing of the Republican party. Ii openly adyo-
Gates the doctrines of the radical sbotionists for
the next Presidency.
This movement is we'll understood 70 be part Of
o deep-laid scheme on the part Of certain Do-
torious interest here to divide the Drmocrscy and
carry over as large force as possible. Ultimate
ly to the support of Lincoln, TO whom some time
ago they became committed. r
The scheme will fail. The course OF the
Volksfreund has created profound feeling of
indignation among the stanch Democratic Ger
man element which has hitherto supported IL:
We understand that last night. at a meeting OF
gentlemen representing that class of population.
Il was unanimously resolved 70 start new Ger
man Democratic paper. with a cash capital Of
$50 900 to advocate the tenets and candidates Of

anotner pronunciamen,o.

The Cincinnati Volksireund, in its Sunday is
sue, places at the head Of the paper the name of
Jons @. FRExoSr as an independent candidate
for the Presidency in opposition to ABRAHAM
LINCOLN. The VoIksfreuDd has been the organ
Of the German Democracy of Cincinnati, and il
processes vet to adhere to the principles it has
heretofore maintained. Its choice for the Presi-
dency is Gen. MCCLELLAN and il AYERS that its
confidence IN his patriotism and qualifications as
a statesman is mistaken, but il is of the opinion
that the more than ambiguous conduct of certain
influential leaders and organs of the Democratic
hence il regards the defeat of ABRAHAM LIN
COLIN and change of Administration by any
means the only hope for the salvation of the
Republic. Influenced by that consideration, il
declares itself for FKEaoST to defeat LINCOLN
and relieve exhausted country from the
deadly nightmare which inficts it, To use its
own words:
Abraham Lincoln must be beaten al all haz-
ards, totally. overwhelmingly beaten. The whole
people. without distinction of party. must be put
forward in the field against him.
While we agree with the volksfreund in the
belief that a change Of Administration is the
only hope Of preserving a free. constitutional
government, we think it will yet have cause to
regret its present views and policy, if sincerely
desires the restoration Of Democratic principles
in the Administration Of the government And
we have all confidence that the great mass Of
the Germau Democracy will stand by the Demo-
cratic organization and the cause il represents
