The White Sulphur Convention asked
Of Fayette county $4,000. 1t will be
seen that it subScribcS $4,000 more
than its quota. The vote would have been
nearly unanimous for $l50,000 if the
county had been fully canvassed. The
Confederates, constituting majority of
the population, are DISTINGUISHED, and did
not vote; they were nearly unanimous for
the subscription.
Demagogues, small politicians, and Office
seekers, supposing the tax would be un-
popular, opposed it.
kanawha county voted on 100000 on
the 18th instant, and the indications were
that the subscription would be carried by
large majority.

grew strong enough to elect q Presidcnt-

the honesty of the party, that Abraham
declared on taking his seat, that he had
no right nor intention TO interfere with
slavery where it existed; all the party
then claimed was that the institution
should not spread into the territories, A
short time afterwards General John
Charles Fremont, carried away by abo-
htion enthusiasm, or the hope Of still
further robbing both Governments and
people, issued a proclamation declaring
all negroes free within the lines of the
Federal ARMY. But Honest Old Abe said
TINS was wrong, unconstitutional, and In
bad faith therefore he suspended John
Charles-not BY Tho neck, as he should
ehave been, but from his command. Yet,
