There arrived by the last steamer, n eertiti- j | ed copy of the evidence for the defence, in the ; I case of Gibbs vs. Fremont, being the ropy of depositions taken before Commissioners, under the authority of the "Court of Common l'leas, j London, in 1852. It will he remembered that | Col. Fremont was arrested in London on ac count of debts contracted in California. The ! defence was that those debts were contracted | on account of the United States government. Col Fremont drew bills of exchange to the amount of nineteen thousand, five hundred dol lars, upon the Secretary of State of the Unit j ed States, the liabilities having been incurred ion government account, while Col. Fremont j was Governor of California. The bills fell in ! to the hands of persons in London, and being • protested for non-acceptance,the holders sought J to hold Col. Fremont personally liable. Among the testimony taken on the trial, was that of JAMKS lb < IUVAV. We subjoin a portion of of Mr. Buchanan's testimony, enough to show , the falsity of a lying pamphlet sent abroad under the frank of \\ m Bigler, depreciating Col. Fremont's services in California : Question. — Do you know who was the per son in actual command of the land forces of the government of the United States in California, in the year one thousand eight hundred and forty seven, and in the month of March in that j >' ear ? Answer.—Col. Fremont the de'en lant, was in California at the commencement of hostili ties between the United States and the Re public of Mexico. H tin re raised and co:n --! unaided a battalion of California Volunteers, consisting of abount 450 men ; his services were very valuable ; and he bore a conspicu ous part in the conquest of California, and in my opinion is better entitled tu be culled the " Con querer of California " than any other man. I cannot undertake to decide the dispute be tween ( ul Fremont and Gen. Kearnev, but as long as the California Battalion existed they were under the separate and independent com mand of Col. Fremont, whiLt Gen. Kearnev commanded the other troops of the United States Congress could not have anticipated that Col. Fremont would raise a California battal ion by his own personal exertions, and with out previous instructions. 1 should have accepted ami paid these bills from general knowledge of things in Califor nia, had Congress appropriated any money and placed it at my disposal which could be applied to their payment, though it would have been more corn,." to have drawn these bills on tiie Secretary of War. 1 should have accepted paid these bills and had them charged in ne i count against Col. Fremont, to be settled for at the general settlement of his accounts as Commander of the California battallion, had any such appropriation been made. JAMKS BUCHANAN. Mr. Buchanan thus spikes a number of the guns of his supporters ! feiT" A meeting of some of the most wealthy New-York bankers and drv goods jobbers in the Southern trade was held by special invita tion on the 25th Sept., at the New-York Ho tel to take measures to remedy, if possible, the present desperate position of the Border Ruf fian Democracy. Some fifty magnat-s of li ' nance and cotton were present, representing a capital of not less than twenty millions of dol lars. Some of the merchants, who took part in the proceedings, are slaveholders. The tone of the meeting was one of great despondency ; and almost of despair. One venerable genth man who addressed the wealthy audience told them that it was necessary to take instant and powerful measures to prevent the defeat of the Buchanan ticket at the approaching State election in Pennsylvania. Such a defeat, lie said, would be almost conclusive in favor of tlie election of Fremont. It would dishearten and break down the Democracy, inspire new courage and energy in the Republicans of oth er States, and in fact leave little hope of re sisting the triumph of the Free-State party. — Money mu-t be raised, and raised in liberal ; quantities. With regard to the sums subscribed we have no means of knowing precisely, except that they were large, Long before the meeting was brought to a close, the list, stood at not less than $20,000, and we presume it far sur passed that sum at the end. At a former mect ; ing of the same kind, at the same place, it is understood that $50,000 was raised—all "to j carry the election in Pennsylvania. The true Democrats of that State have a fearful power i to contend with in their efforts to carry the , State in favor of Free Labor. When the great ' capitalists of the country thus make common cause with those who employ murder, robbery and arson as the means of subduing the free people of the Territories and forcing Slavery j upon them, it becomes more than ever neces sary for the honest masses who live by their own labor, to rise against this combined power •of money and barbarous brutality. There is, however, one encouraging fact to be remem bered in view of this combination ; and that is that the lords of the money-bag and the cot ton-bale have never yet carried an election j against the Democratic masses when they were thoroughly aroused, Let us then see to it that they arc now called into action. Pal m ers, workingmen, men who wish to leave your children free and independent ! It is for you to save the country from the combination which threatens to exclude white laborers from the Territories and hand them over to the sole occupancy of slaves and slave breeders.—AVjr* York Tribune WHO RKSI'ECT TUF. CONSTITUTION—WHO VIOI.ATK IT /—Mr. UNDERWOOD, now of New York, cannot go to Virginia, save on pain of death or personal outrage and mutilation. No citizen of a northern state, opposed to slave labor, can remain one hour in Kansas, where there are Missourians enough to expel him at the point of the knife and the mouth of the pistol. lie will have to fly, and have to leave behind him for pillage and appropriation, every dollar of his property. Throughout the slave states, gibbets would hang thick with the ora | tors of republicanism, if they should go there to advocate the claims of FREMONT to the Presi dency. On the other hand, HOWELL COBB, of Georgia, Senator TOOMBS, and BRECKKXRIIBJF, of Kentucky, and a battalion of the orators of slavery extension, traverse, without let or hindrance, every northern state, and urge Hu chananism from the stump, and sanction of border ruffian policy towards Kansas.
