Sr. ,Louis, June 23.--A letter to the Repub

nel Sumner has put the principal roads lead

also driven out of the Territory Buford, Jones,
Shelby and other leading Missourians.
Another letter dated-Kansas city, June,

every person under indictment in Kansas.
He declares that neither General Lane nor

• Our readers are aware that a delem b ation of
proscriptive Know Nothings waited upon
Col. Fremont in New York to interrogate him
respecting'his opinions with regard to the
ininciples of that anti-American faction.—
They are aware that the report was made that
he declared that his sympathies were with
them warmly and strongly. This policy de
manded should be contradicted, and a denial
Wits_ duly made by the Committee that Mr.
Fremont "made any pledges." Upon this
the New York Sun remarks as follows:-
"Mr. Fremont possibly may have given no
plages, YultThe most certainly (dour informa
tion be correct,) made some pretty strong
declarations. Quite a number of the Massa
chusetts delegation waited upon him, and as
we learn he did most unequivocally declare
that he sympathised with the principles of the
American party, and that if he received the
nomination of this Convention he would ac
cept it without regard to the Philadelphia
Couvention; and that, if elected, he would nut
appoint foreigners to office."
-.Mu. Fremont is willing to make strong de
clarations, but he is unwilling to have his
opinions published. He is willing to shake
hands with the party who would proscribe all
Of foreign birth, but thinks it had policy that
the fact should be known. Every person of
common understanding knows that if he had
not made satisfactory declarations to the Know
Nothings, they would never have given him
so large a vote as they did in their Convention
as their candidate for the Presidency.--&n.
Senator Brodhead.
The subjoined paragraph is going the rounds
• of the Know Nothing and Abolition press :
"Brodli4ad'and Buchanan. —Th e Washing
ton American Organ of the 11th says : 'Sena
tor Brodhead, of Pehnsylvania, openly de
dared a few days ago, in this city, that Bu
chanan could not carry Pennsylvania. Mr.
Brodhead is one of the shrewdest politicians
in the country, and knows Pennsylvania as
well as any man living.."'
We give the above in order to show the true
character of the so-called political intelligence
promulgated by the enemies of the Democratic
party. At the time stated in this peripatetic
misrepresentation, Senator Brodhead was not
in the city of Washington, and had not been
'there for three weeks prior to the 11th inst.
So far from indulging in any speculations, at
the period named, of the character quoted, he
'addressed the Democratic mass meeting held
at Easton, Pennsylvania, on the 7th, and the
Democratic mass meeting held at Philadel
phia, on the 10th, warmly supporting the
nominees and platform of the Cincinnati Con
vention.
- Home Brewed Enthusiasm.
Mr. Greeley speaks of the enthusiasm with
which the nomination of the `'enterprising

The Nomination of Fremont.
The Philadelphia Evening Journal, neutral
in polities, expresses the general opinion in
that city as follows :
-The Republican Ninninations.—A few hours
ago the action of the Republican Convention,
assembled in this city,_ was lr.oked to
dr_eds .of thousands of people thronghout the
Nor th, with intensOinterest. The principal
purpose for which the body was convened has
now lieen accomplished, and whatever may be
theeTeet elsewhere, it is quite certain that the
nomination of John C. Fremont for the Presi
dency, has occasioned in this community a
very general feeling . of disappointment. ' Save
in the Convention itself, and a small outside
circle ofhis personal and political friends, the
demonstration of enthusiasm with which the
announcement of the candidate is received, is
in this locality anything but encouraging. ,
The cause required and deserved a very
different champion and leader in the contest
that is coming, and our conviction is, that it
has suffered greatly, if not fatally, in the es
timation and sympathies of very many earnest
friends, by the injudicious choice which has
-been made. We speak, of course, only with
-reference to the impression it has produced
here. That, however, is not only unmistake
able, but it is pretty significant of What will
be the prevalent sentiment of Pennsylvania.
For the sake of the great principles and in
terests which were at stake, there are many
who. will deeply regret a result which, in their
judgment, has imperilled, if not doomed to
disastrous defeat, a cause whose prospects
were before so bright and animating.
The New York Commercial Advertiser; an
opposition paper, says : •
The 'bright, enterprising young man' has
been rewarded for 'handsomely exploring the
Rocky Mountains' by a nomination for the
Presidency. Of course no one expects that
he will be elected in this 'Year of our Lord'
to that high office. The people of the United
States, or any considerable proportion of them,
are not likely to pass by men of years, and ex
perience, and wisdom—recognized statesmen
and leaders—and place a young man, without
antecedents as legislator or statesman, in the
high office of Chief Magistrate. We do not
believe the Republican leaders have., any
anticipation that Col. Fremont will be the
next President of this Republic. He will
serve, what alone could lie expected from their
Candidate, to keep the 'conglomerate- mass'
'(thus one of their own speakers designated
the party) together through the campaign,
and that is the object for which he is nomina
ted. We will not do the Convention the in
justice to suppose that if they really believed
their nominee would be successful, they would
have passed by. so many senior and more eli
gible citizens, and put forward so 3 r - Uung a
man, and one so entirely without antecedents..
Claiming the Germans.
The . following will show in what way our
German fellow-citizens maybe expected to sup
port the Republican nominees. The Buffalo
Dctizoler& 4, Weltbzierger (German) hoists the
Democratic Presidential ticket, with the fol
lowing remarks:
We, publish to-day the platform of the Re
publicans, and postpone for the present ex
pressing our opinion - more - full3r - corfferffing - i .
The reader will discover from it, that in ac
cordance with our previously expressed views,
we cannot support this platform, for the rea
son that the important question before
the American people, to-be decided .in the
coming election, is entirely neglected. _The
Republican platform says everything for the
maintenance of the equal rights of all citizens,
but nothing of the right to become citizens.
' The Republican candidates please us just as
little as the platform. Frefriont has distin
guished himself in his -tours -of discovery,
but as a statesman he has not had the slight
est experience, and it appears to us extremely.
dangerous in the present critical situation of
our Republic_to_ entrust the - government-t c .
such a man. Under these" circumstances, we
do not hesitate to recommend our readers to
support the Democratic Republican candidates,

the above valuable property. As soon as the
books are all sold, notice will be given to the
stockholders and a, convention will be held at
Newville, at the Institute's Hall, when a. com
mittee will he chosen, to whom the property
