From the JV‘. H. Journal.
New HAVEN, July Q1, 1856.
To Messrs. Henry Sherman and Ole’-
irer Ellsworth. Hary"ord, Ct.

GENTLEMEN :—Your Note requesting
me to send to your address, the Charter
of the State Council, belonging to the
American Party of Connecticut, now in
my possession, came dulv to hand.

Permit me, in reply to your request,
to say. that the Charter I have in my
possession is the property of the State
Council of Connecticut. It is in my
hands for safe keeping, and I shall en-
deavor to be true to the trust reposed in
me by its members. The notice I re-
ceived from you, purporting to come
from Mr. Bartlett, you say is a correct
copy of the original. This may be so ;
yet I would have much preferred the
original direct from him, and not by the
way of other persons, having the appear-
ance of being interested in the matter.
The demand for the surrender of the
Charter, I do not recognize. Mr._ Bart-
lett has no power according" to the con-
stitution to revoke or demand a surren-
der of the charter. The action should
be had by the organization itself, and
without that action he has power in the

matter. In order to add dignity to the
document demanding our Charter, Mr

Bartlett takes to himself the honor of
being at the head of the National Or:
ganization, when he himself is the very
head and front of sectionulism, maintain-
ing the mistaken idea, that Slavery is
National, and Freedom sectional. Has
he not as yet learned the first principles
of our free constitution ? Does he not
know that a party to be national must
acknowledge the great principle that
Freedom is national, not sectional ? The
American Party of the free States is tru-
ly national. It acknowledges that free-
dom and liberty mean the same now as
in the days of the Revolution, and these
iandmarks we wish to preserve. We
cannot be driven from our position, by
any coercive action or threats of section-
-al men. We cannot be driven or whip-
ped into the support of Fillmore and Do-
nelson, by any such acts as this of Mr.
Bartlett and his co-laborers. Mr

Bartlett may go through the form of re-
voking our Charter, and you may give
it all the publicity you think best in the
Express, as it appeared to'day; publish
it in all of the New York papers, if you
please, that you will attend to the re-or»_,_
-ganization of the Councils throughout
‘the State. Do what you will, we shall
remain the same. You must convince
.us that we are wrong by argument, not
by attempting to drive us in any such
manner as this. We cannot and will
not be driven. IT IS NOT AMERI-
CAN TO RUN A'l‘ THE FIRST
SIGHT OF THE ENEMY. We will
like our. fathers, maintain our ground,
standing shoulder to shoulder in defence
at Liberty. We cannot submit to sec-
rional dictation, when justice, principle,
and the sacred rights of humanity are to
be trampled under foot; nor can we con-
sent to compromise principle.

And now gentlemen, one word to you
What has caused such a revolution in
your sentiments? On several occasions
you have supported your delegates in
Convention, when they have met the
South, upon the subject of slavery, and
«you, Mr, Sherman, said that the only
fault you found was, that the delegates
did not go far enough upon this question
You submitted resolutions to be adopted
as a part of ouripolitical creed, of this
import—-“That Slavery existing out of
the limits of the original -thirteen States,
-existed contrary to the Constitution,"
and your speech was long and able up-
on this point. Again, Y0“ stated “if”

Peter Par-ley9s Opinion of Fre-
mont.

The following letter from S. G. Goon-
mcrt, our late Consul at Paris, was ad-
dressed to a friend in Connecticut some
weeks since, and expresses the views
and opinions he formed of Mr. J. C.
FREMONT, upon acquaintance with him
abroad. The letter as is evident, was a
private one, and, of course, not pr:-pa.
red for publication—a circumstance
proper to be stated, in explanation of
the form in which it is expressed :

New Yorix, June 17, 1856,

DEAR. B. :—It is true, as you suppose,
that I knew Mr. Fremont, at Paris.-—
He was for several months while I was
Consul, and had frequent business at the
consulate. I also met him in society.
He is about forty-five years old, tall and
5l9_0‘-ll‘-‘I’. of modest demeanor, and of
quiet undemonstrative manner. At first
he makes no impression upoii you, but
in conversation, by degrees, you come to
the conclusion that you are in the pres-
ence of no common man. There is a
deep intensity of expression in his eye,
which, taken in connection with his calm
measured words, forces upon you the
conviction that his extraordinary career
is but a just reflection of his inherent
character. Unfliuching courage, fixed
purpose, patience that conquer difficul-
ties, a master of himself, which enables
him to master others, arc the qualities
which acquaintance with him, as well
as the events of his life, eminently dis-
play. This was the impression he made
upon leading minds, foreigners as well
as Americans, in Paris. I recollect to
have heard it saidof him, that his habit
of self-reliance and self-counselling, evi-
dent from his manners and conduct, re-
minded one strongly of similar qualities
in Louis Nsronnou, and which have
given him such an ascendency, since his
accession to power in France.

These are impressions I received in
Paris, and hence it has not all surprised
me to find many minds turning towards
Mr. Fremont for the Presidency. He
has undoubtedly those qualities of firm-
ness and decision which eminently fit
him for the administration of public af
fairs. He is not a‘ man to be wheedled;
he is pure, amiable, and incorruptible in
private life, and wherever he is placed,
he will not, if I judge him rightly, de-
part from that sound morality, which
thus forms the basis of his character.

I think it is possible, nay probable,
that he will be nominated by the Re-
publican Convention for the Presidency.
I do not, however, propose to take any
active part in politics. I have had
enough—ioo much of it.

If our good old State of Connecticut
should go for Fremont, she will at least
have a respectable candidate.

He is a man of education . has higher
scientific attainments than any who has
ever yet held the Presidency, and.though
inexperienced in technical legislation,
few persons have had equal practice in
governing, guiding and controlling men
under difficulties. When I see his plat-
form, his associations, his whole position
as well as that of other candidates—and
provided, moreover, he be nominated-
I shall then be able to decide whether I

no consequence, indeed, to any one but
myself.

I should be glad to find—and I tell
you frankly—that I am satisfied on these
points, and that I could conscientiously
give him my support. Mrs. Fremont

man so foully and unceasingly abused

ery dog of Southern agitation, from
“Boss,” Douglass down to the smallest
and most mangy face that whines and
snarls in the unprincipled suck egg train
has been barking at his heels; but the
fact has not been successfully hid, that
their spite arises more from a reluctant
knowledge of his superiority of talent,
than any real difference of opinion on
principle. Douglass-—than whom in our
humble opinion a more unprincipled and
reckless agitator never disgraced the
Senate chamber——has from time to time
hurled at Sumner all his native and well
cultivated slang; and then “Og the king
of Bashan.” Gen. Cass, the old broken
down President seeker and inconsistent
Free Soiler--has never failed to chime
in with his more solid inventive; and the
cho rus has been filled to every "beat

woolly headed poodles from" the South-
men who have no more principle, and
but little more brains than the African
slaves in behalf of whose claims they so
injudiciously rave and ram. And final

Speech of the Hon. John Wood-
rull’, of Conn.,
Delivered in the U. S. House of Repre-verb
tatives, July 12, 1856.
MR. SPEAKER :—This House has de-
liberated already too long on these reso-
lutions. They should have passed
promptly, and by acclamation. The
exigency of the adjournment and the
-pressure of public business may, per-
haps, partially excuse the delay ; but
we now owe it to ourselves to act with
a becoming boldness, and with such
vigor as may redeem this House from
imputations injurious to itself and to the
country. Will not this hall with too
much reason continue to be character-
ized as ii "chamber of assassins,” if we
do not new units to rebuke and emphat
ically’ condemn this monstrous violation
of all honor and decency? The coun-
trp‘ demands action, and the times are
hot for some expiation of dastardly and
brutal outrages, whether committed in
the Capitol or on the plains of Kansas.
If there is not spiritor manliness enough
to promptly purge this body by proper
and constitutional means, at all events
let a trial he made. Let the vote come.
We shall then know who dare screen an-
dacity, or give countenance to crime.
There is no middle ground in this
case between submission’ to violence
that excites and will inaugurate the
very spirit of war, and the prompt ex-
pulsion of one no longer fit to be ‘a
member of this body. Let northern
men, especially, who wish to vote
against these resolutions, be allowed to
inscribe their names as soon as may be
in approval of this outrage upon the
freedom of speech, and if it be not mei
with a whirlwind of indignation and
contempt by their constituents that will
sweep them from public life, I have yet
to know of what material they are
made. Let Southern men deliberately
justify and by their vote applaud this
act; it will ring trumpet-tongued in
shame to future generations. It shall
be placed high on that dark catalogue
where stand recorded the unavenged
murderers of Lovejoy, and Dow, and
Barber, and Brown where stand recor-
ded countless crimes acd indignities per-
petrated upon afl ages, serses and con-
ditions from that in which the aged and
venerable Judge who, in obedience to
the voice of Massachusetts, went to
Charleston, S. C., to test a question of
constitutional law, and was driven from
its streets, to those «sustained by the
humbler men and women whose per-
sons and property and lives have long
been shamefully and systematically out-
raged and destroyed. If no expiation
shall now be -made, they shall at all
events stand there lighted to the end of
time by the lurid glare of burning Law-
rence, the blood-re'd flag of a blood-
stained State, firly designatingthe lead-
ing ‘perpetrators and their shameful
work ; and if violence shall be fairly
inaugurated,-think you the‘ recollection
of these will calm excited passions and
cause more forbearance to-a ruinous and
hated institution. I have never before
trespassed for one moment upon the
time of the House, but‘ with a unani-
mons, enlightened and patriotic constit-
uency, I look-with deep anxiety for ac-
tion on these resolutions. For myself
I wish so ‘have it practically decided
whether parliamentary law and the
Constitution are any i longer to’ be en-
forced and maintained on the floor of
Congress, or whether we have already
and inevitably come to the law of the
bludgeon. ~I court no disturbance, but
the privileges of debate shall noi, so far
as I am concerned, be infringed. With
an endeavor and design always to culti-
vate courtesy, I shall not hesitate here
in my place or elsewhere to freely char-
acterize as they deservo any lofty as-
sumption of arrogance or any mean
achievements of cowardice. I say again
let the vote come, and if honorable
gentlemen cannot wholly rid themselves
of an unwelcome presence, they can at
least show their appreciation of an ac-
tion wanting few of the elements of a
most audacious crime and of a spirit
equal to deeds that I will not name. I
hold in my hand, Mr. Speaker, the reso-
lutions of the State of Conn-ctieut,
which was in session at the time this
outrage occurred. These resolutions.
w_hich I fully endorse, are expressive of
»the feelings of the people of the State
which I have the honor in part to rep-
resent; of the State, sir, which furnish-
ed niore men than any other State of
the Union, save Massachusetts, to fight
the battles of the Revolution. Her gal-
lant sons left their plows in the furrows,
and their flocks and herds in the field,
and gathered in their workday garments
to seek a stern redress for the wrongs in-
flictcd on them by the haughty mon-
arch of England. They dyed their nar-
merits in their own blood, and left their
bones to bleach on the plains of South
I Carolina, and upon the soil of nearly
every battle field of the Revolution.-

well as on Northern soil ; they have ful-
filled all their obligations to their‘ South-
ern brethren. They have done more;
they have borne reproach and insult ;
they have seen a Massachusetts Senator
stricken down in the Senate Chamber
by the hand of violence. That hand
wasjhe hand of_South Carolina. Her
people have endorsed the act and made
it their own; and it is now ‘for Massa-

to say that when that blow comes,'Con-

“side by side and shoulder to-shoulder,”
in the Revolution, will strike with her.

of the present South American candidate
for President, received a large part of
her education in a Roman Catholic Sem-

Buchanan’: Prospects.
We suppose that nobody entertains
any‘ great respect; for the New York
Herald, or believes that the paper is con-
ducted with any special regard for prin-
ciple. And yet, no journal, in this coun-
try or abroad, is under shrewder trian-
agement-—-no men watch the current of
public sentiment more closely, or‘ A as a
general thing, judge more correctly as
to probable results in the politicalworld
Premising these remarks, we copy from

the Herald : .

Many of our hopeful democratic -' citi-
zens affect .to believe that there will
hardly be a fight—Mr. Buchanan, with
scarcely a show of resistance, will walk
over the course. We have only to say,
looking calmly over the whole field, that
for all such as entertain’ the belief that
there will be no struggle, the doors of
some lunatic asylum had better be open-
ed at once. We have no doubt of the
fact that a vast majority of the American
people, in the present distracted condi-
tion of the country, are opposed to the
‘Democratic party. as debouched, and
demoralized under the malign influence
of this Pierce administration, and we be-
lieve that there would still exist a ma-
jority of the american people opposed to
the ratification of the dsbauclieriea of
this corrupted party, even if -they should
nominate as their representative, an an-
gel from Heaven.’ This is our convic-
tion and our belief. Grant, that as an
honest man and a statesman, -Mr. Bu-
chanan is a fair nomination, and that he
is immeasurab y superior to men of such
small calibre and paltry experiments as
as Pierce and his Forney Kitchen Cab-
inet, the impressive evidences are yet
all around, of an impending revolution.
Louis -XVI. ' was an amiable, respectable
and worthy man, and sincerely labored
for the good of his people; yet in the
terrible storm raised by his imbecile and
corrupt predecessors, he was swept away
We anticipate nothing so. frightful in
this enlightened day; yet we say that-
Pierce has raised a storm which even
Buchanan cannot pereinptorily command
to be still. It is drifting to a great pop-
ular revolutiou. -We shall have a revo-
lntion-—we must have a revolution ; for
a sweeping revolution is asnecessary at
times to purify the political atmosphere
as is a Summer thunder guilt to clear
away the miasmn and corrupting exha-
lations of a long sickly siege of the dog
days.

The Independent Democrat of Wau-
kegan, Lake county, Illinois, refuses to
support Buchanan and the platform of
the Slave Democracynpon which he is
placed,

The Lancaster (Pa_.) Express, a Deni-
ocratic paper, and formerly a firm sup-
porter of Buchanan, has drawn itself’en-
tirely out of the Cincinnati harness, and
is now for the candidate of the Philadel-
phia Convention. _ ‘-

The Buffalo Republic, the most influ-
ential,Democratic paper in.Western N.
York, repudiatee the nornniation of Bu-
chanan with loathing and scorn. It
closes a powerful article on the subject
of the nomination in these words :

Enough that we now declare that,
under no circumstances (though always
acting with the democratic organization
and ardently attached to it by a life-long
association) can we support the nomi-
uses of the Cincinnati Cenvention, upon
the platform which that body has adopt-
ed.

Hon. Ronniir EMMET, on taking the
chair of the National Republican Con-
vention, said he had been for forty years
connected with the democratic party,
and until that party had left the only
platform upon which he could stand.-
He admired Buchanan as a man, but po-
litically he was deadiy hostile to him and
the platform upon which he stood.

Hon. Lot Morrill, of the Democratic
State Committee of Maine, repudiates
Buchanan't nomination.

John Knox, one of the most distin-
guished lawyers of Illinois, a Pierce elec-
tor in 1852, and a life-long Democrat, in
a public meeting at Rock Island on
Thursday evening, came out openly and
boldly for a union of all the Anti-SIave-
ry Extension elements in the North,
against the aggression of the Pro Slave-
ry party. Mr. Knox's inflnence,backed
ed up by his eloquence, will be sensibly
felt in the coming campaign.

The New York Evening Post, the
most influential and able Democratic pa-
per of the country, takes decided ground
against the nominees of the Cincinnati
Convention. ‘

Only One Instance.—We received
yesterday a list" of twenty subscribers
from a country town, fifteen of whom
are stanch Democrats, who voted last

stances of similar character since the
gallant Pathfinder was out on the track.

Execution of George Wilson, the
Murderer.

George Wilson, the negro who was
convicted of the murder of the captain
and mate of the schooner Eudora, was
yesterday executed at the County Jail
of Westchester County, at White Plains
On Wednesday evening the wretch be-
haved in a defiant manner, boasted that
he intended to die game, and said that a
poor nigger like himself had no friends.
Early yesterday morning, a large crowd
assembled around . the Jail, and two
military companies were present for the
purpose of preserving order, and in case
any emergency. There were about two
hundred persons -admitted within the
precincts‘ of the prison to witness the ex-
ecution.

For some days back Wilson has feign-
ed insanity, but as this trick- was discov-
ered the culprit’ returned to his senses.
Yesterday morning the air of bravado
which had been assumed by the prisoner
vanished, and as the preparations for the
excution were proceeded with, Wilson
showed the most abject fear. Indeed,
he was not able to dress himself, and the
attendants were compelled to put on his
clothes. At one time he acknowlegded
his guilt, but afterward denied it; and
the last words he uttered were a protes-
tatiou of his innocence. - .

When the time arrived for the execu-
tion, he was actually carried to the scaf-
fold where the rope was adjusted, and
he suffered the penalty of the law. He
died almost immediately after. being
swung off. The brutal and fiendish
character of the deed for which Wilson
was executed, prevented any feeling of
sympathy for his fate. Everything.pas-
sed off quietly, and after usual legal for-
malities were gone through with, the

Herbert Acquitted.
WASHINGTON, July 25.

The jury in the. Herbert case, after
retiring for three quarters of an hour re-
turned a verdict of acquittal. The an-
nouncement was received with manifes-
tations of joy and delight, and Mr. Her-
bert was immediately surrounded by _ is
friends who accompanied him to irk-
wood House. -

About six o’clock, Mr. Preston for the
prosecution, wished to reply to Mr.
Walker’astrictures, which was objected
to by the other counsel for Mr. Herbert
Ex-Mayor Lenox, who was standing by
was heard by Mr. Radcliffe to observe
that he was unfair or unjust. Mr. Rad-
cliffe sharply said in reply, they wanted
no outside interference here. In the
course of the hurried colloquy that en-
sued, Mr. Lenox called Mr. Radcliffe a
liar. Mr. Radcliffe immediately dashed
at Mr. Lenox, but Mr. Bradley quickly
interposed and prevented a collision.

Subsequently, Deputy Marshal, Phil-
lips, made a complaint before Justice
Thompson, that he had reasons to be-
lieve Mr. Radcliffe had sent Mr. Lenox
received a challenge. Mr. Radcliffe was
forthwith arrested and held to bail in
$3000 not to fight a duel. A warrant
was served on Mr. Lenox who has fail-
ed to appear.

of the Tribune, Friday, says of the Brooks
and Bnrliiigarne affair, that.

Gen. Lane of Oregon informed Mr.
Campbell of Ohio to day, officially, that
Mr Brooks had declined to meet Mr.
Burlingame in Canada. Brooks is re-
cruiting at Warren Springs," Va., and
Mr. Burlingame has returned to Wash-
ington, and is looking finely. Mr. Camp.
bell will place in Mr. Burlingaiiie's
hands to-morrow a statement of all the
facts in the case which has been pending
between him and Brooks, taking the
entire responsibility of naming Cana-
da a he place of meeting. and enowsng
that r. Burlingame was willing to
fight Brooks anywhere and at any time
and that the objection which Brooks
brings" against a meeting in Canada on
account of passing through the enemy’:
country applieswith more force against
Mr. Burlingame meeting Brooks in a

that always kept a little ahead of the

the whole of the Government, legisla-

avert such I! calamity we should be
willing to vote for almost any candidate
and to act with almost any party ; and
it is difficult for us to understand how,
with such results staring them in the
face, and with a controlling majority,
the North can consent to split into two
or three parties, and to se a man elected
who is not expected to carry a, single
free State, except by a plurality over
the insanely divided opposition.”

The undersigned, believing that in the pres-

hope for the perpetuity of our free institu-
tions consists in reinstating, in their former
supremacy, in the ~ administration of the Na-
tional Government the principles advocated
by Wssuinoi-on,» FRANKLIN, JEFFERSON and

aristocracy to be supported in idleness upon

iieving also that it is the first duty of Ameri-
can citizens to maintain unimpaired frree
speech, a free press, and free institutions in
the common domain not yet organized into
States, do hereby agree to associate ourselves

Town Committee.

The Opening of the Campaign.

A meeting, respectable in numbers. though
not large, assembled at the Town House on
Friday evening last, for the purpose of ap-
pointing Delegates to the State Convention
called by the American State Central Commit-
tee, to be held at Hartford on the 6th of Au-
gust, Hon. Joann M.CIn-rna, the Whig can-
didate for Lieuf. Governor at the last election
presided. The following gentlemen were ap-
pointed Dehegates :

Charles Olmstead,
Daniel K. Nash,

Asa Hill, ,
Peter L. Cunningham,
William T. Craw,
Orris S. Ferry.

After the business was concluded, the meet-
ing was addressed by Hon. E. K. Foster of
New Haven, in a practical, thorough style for
about an hour. There was an earnestness of
purpose and feeling apparent in the audience,
indicating more strongly than any other dem-
onstrafion could, the popular determination
to put an end to the inisrule which has con-
vulsed the country for the last two years.

The speech of Mr. Foster was addressed at
once to the reason and consciences of’ his
hearers, and is universally spoken of with
applause. »

- At the conclusion of the meeting, it was an-
nounced tliat the signers of the Fremontclub
Association would meet at Phoenix Hall, on
Wednesday evening, July 30th, for the pur-
pose of‘ perfecting their organization, and ev-
ery Elector, Democratic, Whig, American and
Republican, who loves liberty, and equal
rights, wasinvited to attend at that time and
unite with the Club.

We predict an enthusiastic meeting on
Wednesday night. See the call in to-day’s

paper.

Fremont shall be is Catholic----A
Chance to make something!
We are daily met with those who have en-

countered some of Col. Fremontfs defamers,

and who assure them “that Col. Fremont is a

Catholic and no mistake. One man told us

last evening that he was assured that the de-

nial of this siaiider in the New York Inde-
pendent “was a falsehood utteeed by Henry

Ward Beecher, who was a notorious liar,”

etc. We have no hesitation in saying that

persons would in the same breath, charge
him with being a Protestant, if thcythought
they could damage his prospects as much

name on the Scovill House books as "S.

apparently some 27 years of age, and the
only striking peculiarity about his feat-
ures was a prominent roniau nose, which
was certainly large enough "for all prac.
tical purposes,” He evidently designed
to create a sensation, as he represented
himself to be the son of J. N, Siebbjns,
a wealthy Wall street broker, and pie.
tended to be engaged in the foreign dc-
partment of the American Exchange
Bank. In the course of his perambula.
tions he was shown a counterfeit five
dollar bill, which was given to him at
his urgent solicitation, wishing, as he
said, to show it to the officers of the
bank, tbougli the scamp passed it off on-
one of the conductors of the Naugatuck
Railroad. _Among other "financial ope-
rations," he sent a draft through one of
our banks for collection in sw York,
but which was returned protested Af-
ter patrouizing mine host of the Scovill
House for a few days the atmosphere
becoming suddenly too hot for him, he
incontinently vamosed, and in a momen-
tary absence of mind forgot to pay his
bill. We publish this brief history of
his sojourn among us, so that the ciii
zens of other places who may be hon-
ored with his presence may treat him
with that attention and consideration to
which by his high position he is enti-
tled.— Waterbury Americaw.

&. The above fast young man, after leav-
ing Waterbury, favored the landlord of‘ the
"Norwalk” with a call. Representing himself
as above, be engaged a lad, at a good salary,
for a clerk in his department of the Bank.-
After spending a few pleasant days here, the
atmosphere, (as it did in W.,) ‘began to grow
too hot for him,so borrowing a V of‘ the lad
he had hired for clerk, and promising to pay
that night, he went out for a walk. The last
seen of him he was making tracks for the rail
road station.

at Hartford, to take place on the 6th of Au-
gust, with many and most of the prominent
names of the State appended, is issued. The

_§* The Louisville Journal says: “Four
times the democratic party have selected a
candidate for the Vice Presidency from Ken-
tucky, aud each time particularly with the
view of carrying the State for their ticket.-
In 1836 they nominated Richard M. Johnson
to carry Kentucky and they failed. In 1840
they re-nominated the Tecumseh Killer, and
failed not only in Kentucky but everywhere
else. In 1848 they nominated Gen. Win. 0.
Butler, and failed again to carry Kentucky,
or to elect their candidates. In 1856 they
have nominated J olin C. Breckinridge, and
failure is again sure.

fl‘The runior from Washington now is
that the Democrats themselves prefer that
there should be no choice of President by the
people, thus hoping to make Breckenridge
President.

Tun Biiooxs RESOLUTION.-The Boston Jour-
nal furnishes the following analysis of the
resolution to expel Brooks from the House of
Representatives :

Yeas. Nays. Absent.
Free States, 117 16 11
Slave States, I 79 10
Il—8 95 21

The telegraphic footing of the votes gives
I21 yeas. If this is correct, two of‘ those who
are classed as absentees probably voted, and
their names were omitted in the telegraphic
list. .
Of those who voted nay from the Free
States, eight were Democrats, viz: Florence,
Cadwalader and Jones of Pennsylvania ; Mil-
ler of Indiana; Harrisand Allen of Illinois ;
and Hall of Iowa. Two were K. N.’s, viz:
Wheeler of New York, and Harrison of Ohio.
One was a Republican, Mace of Indiana. We
think, however, that injustice is done to this
gentleman by includingliis name among the
nays. He probably vothtf yea.

The only Southern member who voted for
the resolve was Mr. Hoffman of Maryland.

 

fir The Bridgeport Standard pricks one of’
the New York Express’ bubbles by giving the
true vote of the inmates of‘ the Sterling House,
in that city. The Express said they stood,
Fillmore 6, Fremont 3, Buchanan 3. The
Standard, which has the actual names, says,
the canvass stands, Fremont 14, Buchanan 6,
Fillmore 4, uncommitted 2.

3- A Fannoxr electoral ticket has been
noiniuated- in Kentucky, at the head of which
is Cassius M. Clay. The Louisville Journal
thinks it will poll ten thousand votes.

fir It appears by a statement in the Her-
yald, that since the commencement of the year
1853, the number of deaths by the most la-
mentable railroad casualities is 224, and of
wounded 501. r

Mn. EDITOR .—The Phdential
campaign was formally openedln this
IOWH on Saturday night last, ly the
Sham Democracy, in a very in y ad~
dress by the “learned Sage fro tarn-
ford.” You will remember this samg
notable individual challenged an) per}.
son to meet him and discuss the ‘incl
plea of the Nebraska Bill, at thedtath
House in Hartford, but not findingffoe‘
man worthy of his steel, and not lwil
ling that his candle should be bid uiide

a bushel, he condescendiugly offered t
enlighten the Democracy of our townj
upon the peculiar qualifications of Mr.‘
Buchanan for the Presidency, and thel
total nnfitnesa (if John C.‘ Fremont for":
that office. i
Some considerable time after thehour =.
for the meeting, the President of the -,
Club appeared, followed by some 30 of 
the Democracy, and fearing that an Old ii

appear on too prominent a positionlupon
the outset, the reading of the minutes of
the informal meeting were dispensed
with, and the audience introduced to
the Speaker, who began by saying we
had fallen upon strange and troublous
times, and launching at once into a pan-
egyric of our glorious Union, its stabili-
ty, strength, dtc., yet depreciating the
dangers of disunion, and the evil that
would follow the election of John C.
Fremont to the Presidential Chair, and
such like assertions in favor of the
Slave-ocracy, and when trying to hit the
Know Nothings a slap by saying they
were afraid a short time since that the
Pope would swallow us all,‘ a Demo-
cratic friend at my elbow suggested that
"the sage himself came devilish near be-
ing swallowed by his Holiness”? soon af-
ter being elected Judge, and be-
traying the Council in S——d,l ‘ I

The speaker with tears infhis ‘eyes,
remonatrated against using ohr church-
es for what he termed preachipg politics,
and assuring his brethren that no man
was more attentive to the idntiea of re-
ligion than he, and deprecated such eac-
rilege, yet he wound up by apologizing
for the attack on Sumner, f’ as being
merely a quarrel of no greatlimportance
between two" individuals. ,5

I forgot to say, Mr. Edito ,- that the
very eloquent sage, (or defepder as he is
called here.) at the ' hegiitiing” of his
speech hoped he would not; e‘-'~cliarged_
with falsehood, and misrdpresentation,
after he returned home, as ’ he was four
years since, which we thought rather
severe upon the new convert, who was
at that time the one who charged these
thing upon him. ,‘ g 

After the close of the meeting, this
same new convert (or aspirant for Post
Office pap and Democratid favors.) still
calling himself a Whig who has never.
changed his principles, and yet cheerful-
ly endorsing the Cincinnati Platform,
called for three cheers for the candi-
dates of the Democracy.

I understand the Defender will be fol-
lowed, very soon, by the Great Expoun-
der, alias A S-———-—, of which
you shall be duly informed. , g , ‘l
.- In conclusion, I would state that the
friends of Fremont, Free‘ Speech, Free-
dom, and the Constitution, in this‘ towm
will do their whole duty inthe ‘ ‘approa-
ching contest in November.
