Jur We hare heardrnuch of late about
the freedororof speech in Congress. We are
told that a combited effort has.been made by
the South to trample down the freaom of
debate.
We have regarded the attack of Brooks
upon Suraner rather as a persenal matter be
tweet,those two itnterestirg individuals, than
as anything_partisking of a national or politi
cal matter. Sniper said offensive things' of
Mr. Butler,and his state,at which Mr. Brooks
took offense and 'like a fool caned him. Lei

The nominution of - Fremont 'and Dayton by
the Republicans, at Philadelphia, is one of the
•
mast flagrant insults ever offered to the intelli

not eiceiited—a stntiment c : f profound regret
and tnortik.tion his been '.expressed. No in
telligent mat tioubta that the Republican party
.will:soon crave to exist:
. Its life has been bar
tered away by an act of -sureide so undeserving
•of public commisseration, that its best Naiads
will rejoice in witnessing the funeral obsequies.
It is no doubt true, that the soaring of the "ea
gig", has been checked in its grandeur, by men

pretended to-be their friends, have pleaded an

strny, 'they first,inake • mad,'—and we are not
acquainted with an act of . such extreme politi

likla the All of Caesar, - without the grace 'of his
death. One single Stab was enough to send this
" sheet edgliestrto hell,"'nnd not even a Brutus

truth is, the Ropoblican party, which has so

Pu'r the benefit of some of our 'Republican
trieiads as well as Democrats, we hem _give an
cattaet of Mr. Fremont's life. Hero it is, from
the ;Boston Pas/ : ---
''John C. Fremont's father was a. Frenchman,
-who, for some political offence,. lust his proper
ty and escaped to this' country. He taught the
Preach language in Virginia for a living, and at
length ran away with-a planter's daughter and
married her. Some rears-afterwardshe died in -
Charleston, South Carolina, leavings widow and
two; sons, very poor. Some ladies..of the city
took.; charge of the family,, gave John C. a good
education at their own expense, and procured
him' through the then Secretary of the Navy, a
situation as teacher on board a. government v,es.
sel,Where he remained two years and 'a half,
when preferring. the land service, those . • ladies
assisted in procuring fur him a commission in
the army. One - of his earliest exploits then Was
to. - run away with and marry Col. Be aton'S &ugh;
ter.! But the C)l, at length forgave hitit and
procured for him the command . of an exploring
expedition atross the eontinent.".

Here, then, we have the character. of John C.
Fremont; an inheritance -, from a ' parent,—a no
tural roving, reckless character. It seems that
his 'father ran away with and married a "planter's
daughter." John C. becoming desperately in
love with Col. Benton's daughter, contrary to
the wishes of her parents, ran away with and
married her.: Can any consistent, any law abi
ding, and Union loving man vote for him I We
think not. We have 'too mach confidence in
the general intelligence of the masses, to suppose
for a moment that' they will vote for another
"fuss and feathers" candidate. Besides' the tick
et does not harmonize. Al our paper stated
last week,' while Fremont was suffering from
want of food;on the wilds of the Rock/ /dean
tains,- Dayton was
_busily engaged in taking
away his only means "ofaustenruice, in Congress,
by
,votingaway his horse and grasshopper meat:
Dayton has been a radical Whig, Fremont a
Democrat; which makes a very fine trap to catch
th 4 votes of both Reptiblican and Democratic
patties: But should' they chance to be elected,
cherialting principlea,on a cu4ority of the groat
national gluestinha, antagonistic to each other,
their Administration will bo constantly at war
with itself,, and sink farther into oblivion than
the most &spoilt° Abolitionist would sink Frank
r •
Pierces. '
Then to all clear-headed and consistent men,
we would say; contrast John C Frernontwith
jamas Buchanan; i man whenever speaks on
grist, national questions without commanding
th'otttection and respect of the world,--a man
who only , attar; words for the
, purp!ose of con

the dehigated Democra - cy of the Unit:in, and
to respond to the declarations of - prin c ipl e
and policy made by the Convention.
Coneprring, as I do, cordially in the notni;
nations,iand assenting to the leading declara

',practical ruleg-; for future -guidance, I regret
that'en4agements here will deprive me of the
pleasurg of accepting your invitation. I hope,
however to be able, at an early period of the
canvass to take an active part in it.
Icons (der the nomination of Mr. Buchanan a
very fed/nate one, both for the Democracy
and the!country ; and I look•with confidence
to dim itbility,.experience and sound judg
ment, for , a satisfactory adjustment of the dis
turbing by'which the public peace
is endhokired. , Firmness, moderation, good
sentie . anil fearleskness in the discharge of ()fit-
ciardukt are always intlispensible, to the ad
ministration of our government, representinm,l
as it doers, so great 'a variety of interests; and
