Since the Republican platform was laid at
Philadelphia, made up largely, as it is, from
the declaration of Indejieiidence, the Buchau

The Kansas Thunder of the Bnclianiers.
The Chicago Press alludes to the fact thut
the Buehnnuu journals are not* profuse in their
abuse of the friends of FREMONT, because t hey
are not satisfied with the present condition of
things in Kansas. The indictment airninst
! them is that they rejected the Toombs-Doug
las bill, and are now anxious to keep up the
troubles in Kansas for political effect. Let
these lie quieted and they lose all their thun
der. We marvel at the shallowness of these
charges. Why, gentlemen, we should have
l thunder enough to annihilate your party for the
I next ten years if the whole Kansas questiou
were settled in favor of freedom to-morrow.—
; Its crimes are such as can never be forgiven.
Think you the American people can ever for
get that for two years it has striven by the
whole power of the government to drive free
men out of Kansas to make room for slaves ?
That it has trampled upon the constitution and
the laws of the land ? That, armed with the
federal power, it has joined bauds of drunken
and infuriated bandits to plunder and murder
the peaceable citizens of one of the territories
of the United States, and burn down their
dwellings ? That it has leagued itself with the
slave power for general and permanent war
upon free institutions ? That, in short, it is
the slave of slaveholders, and must do their
biddiug whatever that may be ? No, gentle
men. These things will IK: remembered so
long as the present generation endures, and
then they will be written down against you in
history, to be read with wonder and abhorrence
by the latest posterity.
The Buchaniers Impeaching the Testi
mony of their Candidate.
We published, the other day, James Bu
chanan's testimony, taken under a commission,
in 1852, disproving, most conclusively, the ca
bunnies of the Washington Union about Fre
mont. The I 'nion replies by impeaching our
witness. It says :
" It is evident that Mr. R ichanan, in 1852. labored un
der the same mi-apprehension as to the conquest of Cali
fornia which prevailed throughout the country.''
This is a poor compliment to the man who
was Secretrry of State during the entire pe
riod referred to ; the man from whom Col. Fre
mont received his instructions, and who must
have known more than any one else, the extent
and value of Fremont's services, if he did his
duty, if he is not the best witness to be call
ed to that point, lie is certainly not lit to be
President. Will the I nion please inform us
what new light has been evolved upon the sub
ject since Mr. Buchanan left the State Depart
ment ?— Evening Post.
The Buchanan and Fillmore Plot.
The Albany Journal savs that the latest ru
mored process by which the Fillmore vote of
New York is to be rendered available to Bu
chanan, is this :
The Fillmore electoral ticket is to receive
such Buchanan strength as can be transferred
to it, without any formal announcement of the
" bargain," and
If successful, the electors so chosen are to
vote for Buchanan, if their votes will elect
him.
As a compensation, the transferable stock of
the Buchanan democracy are to " go in " for
BROOKS, and the transferrables of the Fillmore
faction are to vote for a yet undecided portion
of the Buchanan state ticket.
As the Buchanan men know that Fillmore
stands no earthly chance of an election him
self, they will risk but little in giving his elec
toral ticket a lift, while the Fillmore men
themselves, conscious of the hopelessness of
their cause in the Union, w ill be content to
come out of the canvass with Brooks as Gov
ernor.
The plot is a very pretty one, but, like many
another plot, it will only result in confusion and
defeat to the plotters.
Mr. BROOKS, when on the 4tli of March
he commences his foray upon Washington, to
seize the archives and treasury, will meet with
an insurmountable difficulty. He can find the
archives With little trouble, but the treasury is
at New York, Philadelphia and Boston,where
the public revenues are collected, and lie can
not get to those place without going "through
the cueiuy s country."— Providence Journal.
P&T THOMAS HART CI.AY, the oldest son of
HENRY CI.AY, has written a political letter.—■
Among other things, he says :
My father thought Buchanan weak and cor
rupt 5 Wanting, as General Jackson has it, in
moral firmness. I have no reason to vary my
opinion from his. Mixed up, as he is, in the
old " bargain and corruption" plot, his card to
the Telegraph newspaper in July, 1827, in
which he says (I attempt not to give words,
but the substance,) " Mr. Adams has been
elected to the Presidency by Mr. Clay's agency;
Mr. Clay has been appointed Secretary of
State by Mr. Adams ; the people will draw
their own inferences."
We hope the " old Clay wliigs" to whom
the Buchananitcs are extending the Maccdo
dian cfy, " come over and help us," will " read
and J louder" this.
THE TWO PARTIES. —We were not a little
amused on Wednesday at the reply of an Ohio
drover to a city politician; who inquired which
of the three parties was the strongest in the
Buckeye State;
" Three parties !" said he in astonishment,
" three parties ! Why, wc don't know but
two in Ohio."
" Don't you indeed ?"
And he ojiencd his mouth ready to gulp down
the fib that one was the much loved Dark Ban
tern party, and the other his dear friends the
Border Ruffians.
" Really ! And what parties are the two ?"
"The people's party and the Postmasters ;
those are the only parties in Ohio, you may
depend on that." —AT. Y. Tribune.
FOR FREMONT —Hon. David Barclay, who
represents the 24th Congressional District in
Pennsylvania, composed of Warren, cnango,
Clearfield, Jefferson, McKcan and Elk coun
ties, generaly known as the " Wild Cat" Dis
trict, and who was elected by the Democrats,
has renounced Buchanan and the Cincinnati
Platform, and come out for Fremont and Free
dom. Mr. Barclay has taken the stump and
will do good battle for the cause iu this State.
Disixiox.—A writer in the New Orleans
Bet scorns the assertion of Senator Slidell, of
Louisiana, that the Union cannot and ought
not be preserved if Fremont should be elected
President, and says that Mr. Slidell should ne
ver propagate such ideas iu Louisiana, as the
Union coat too much to be given up for slight
causes.
