If we needed other evidence of a

the enthusiasm °flips people, we have
it in the desperate falsehoods of the
Buchanan leaders. Men who feel the

Sort to such unhlushing..falsehond for
argument, as our opponents have
done from the supt in 'this campaign.
The last to which onr ettentioa has
hnen callesi, la the assertion that " the
disunion abolitionists are supporting
Fremont." We have seen several

Perhaps his yery virtues may make

LI3iRENCX Crrv, Kalman, t
Attgust .0.4, 1856.-
i f stated in my kuter.from , St. Lotus'
Mo4hat my voyage up-the river prom- -
Wised to:be iaterestiv, in which con
jectUre I was not disappointed. For
about the first - two hpudred wiles, but
little was said abootthe exciting scenes
in :the - Territory, people of all sbades
of belief !earning to - care nettle about
discusaion„ The policy adopted by
me before I started from St. Louis;
was to *void all discussion or expres
sion olopinion, unless such a course
was forced upon me, and to this policy
adhered. The third day on the l river
war election day io Missouri, and there
was - a good deal of excitement in every
sown we touched at.. I got 4 at entry
town from Jefferson City to Leavert-
Worth,and got reterna indicative of
of the defeat. of CO. genton, which
trust is net the fact.
Ozt hoard the boat few people knew
the opinions of the others nor did they
care to ask. I saw too, that there
was a general distrust of each other
abut politics without knowing Irby,
and nobody talked politics., This
quietude was brought to a close by our
arrival at Glasgow where we saw the
first carpools, mounted so as to cont
mond. the entire river, at this place
about a quarter ,of a mile wide. We
stopped here about au hour and inthe
meantime I went ashore and examined
the gun. I asked one of the hard
faring democracy who stivni close by,
.what the cannon was placed there for,
and by whom. He said it was "sot
thar to,shoot the d--. 1 Abolitionists
by the young men," rneaningthe Wheys ,
In this state the word boy is applied
indiscriminately to human chattles of
from Ito 100 years of age. After
gathering all the informa dm from
him I could in relation to the science
of throwlng balls, turned my steps to
wards the steamboat. In coming down
the levee I overheard one .say to an,
other antibere were five abolitionists
aboard, but as they were going to
Nebraska, they 'were harmless. up
to that moment was unconscious of
the existence of a free state man on
board besides myself. As there were
eighty passengers on
- board I gave all
hopes of finding out which wore the
abolitionist, but was glad they were
aboard even if I did not know them.
The sight of the cannon seemed to
make up the people, and as we pro
ceeded up the river politics took full
swing. The Benton democrats took
conservative free soil grounds, arguing
that Slavery did not
. pay in Missouri,.
and that it would not pay in Kansas ;
that it was a curse to Missouri and
would be a curse to the, territory.
The anti-Benton democrats and know,
nothings, and a small company of
Georgians bound for the territory,
took the ground' that aliivery was a
blessing to both races; that without
its exte4sion there could be no. Union ;
and.to supported these grounds they
offered arguments whieh you can hear
at any time from the "terrified " old
line office seekers in Coudersport.
Tho near approach to the terri
tory and the sight of another cannon
at Wayne City seemed to give courage
to the Georgians, if threats of immedi
ate annihilation to all unfortunate
Abolitionist who. might happen in their
way, Was indicative of coinage, -it
was during one cif these eloqeent out
breaks of the Geergia chivalry that I
discovered one of the qbalitionert,—.
After hearing a general anathema from
the Captain of the Company upon all
free aoilers, aqd a wish to hlove them
all to a territory not yet disputed, the
said Captain was very snitch surprised
and seemed insulted by a gustier' put
to him by It far younger man thao
himself. The question was,
rAre you an American citi;en 1"
Ante Captain eyed the interrogator
Elkins hat to boots and said,

We have given in another column
a list of important accessions in this
State from the old line democracy..
The accessions from the Fil!mot.*
men are quite as frequent.
The following extract fr im a-Wash -
ington letter to the N. Y. eve. Pose r
is full of encouragement.
"The signs of Fremont's election
become every day more cheering, ev
en to those who can only see_thent
through the medium of a Washington
atmosphere. The friends of Fillmore
themselves, admonished- by 'his recent
reverses at the Bondi, concede the
hopelessness of his election, and are
beginning to rank thernselues either
op the side of Fremont or Bucluittry'
according to their individual senti
ments upon the great issues of the
present campaign;
Two important eenerraions to the
supporters of Fremont have just corns
to my knowledge. Mr. French tv- ,

platform, or; which Fillmore was nom
