A LETTER FROM SWEDEN.
FOREIGN OPINIONS, ON THE ELECTION.
Correspondence of The N. Y. Tribune.
Kalßae, Sept. 10,1806.
If any of you readers in (he present cam
paign should be tempted to use (he old talk
about “ America being the model for all oa>
“ lions,” and to speak of our Republic as a
“ light (o the oppressed peoples'of the Old
" World,” they may as wellat once slop—
it is not true.
The European nations understand our mat.
ten far better than they did five years ego.
They know very well the struggle, going on
within <mr which principle thus
far has conquered. The bloody history of
Kansas, the brutality in the Senate Chamber,
and the greater brutality of the South Caro
lina constituency, are trumpeted through the
whole Kingly and Conservative press of Eu
rope. ' America has become anything but a
" model,” ot if one outwardly, like a Parisian
artiste—least of all a model of virtue or
decency.
The public opinion in Europe about America
has fallen fifty per cent since I was here six
years ago. The mass of the people of course
cannot distinguish between the fruits of Des
potism in the United Stales and the fruits'of
Freedom. They jumble them all together.
Brooks represents at least a wealthy society
of “ gentlemen” in our country, and a large
party they hear approve him. South Carolina
speaks for certainly much of the Union; and
the crying injustices of Kansas—such as no
German or scarcely Italian petty despot has
as’ yet attempted—are sustained, and may
be continued, by an immense political organ
ization, which has been supposed to hold by
far the majority of American citizens.. Is it
to be wondered at that with such appearances
America has lost her old fame here—nay,
(hat she is now a scoff and a reproach with
every friend of tyranny and kingly rule!
She represents now, not L'beriy to the op
pressed of Ebrope, but Slavery. The coarse
ness, (he lawlessness, the cruelty of Slavery,
its bluster and dishonesty and greed are the
prominent American trails to the world.—
The advocates of the kings and aristocracies
know how to use this, American republican
ism is openly declared a failure; self-govern
mem, as it is in Kansas and Virginia, is thrown
in the teeth of the Liberals. -They point to
the ballot-boxes in Kansas, the bludgeons in
Washington, the tyranny ofpress and speech
in every Stave State, a'nd'say, •* There is your
“ Liberty , yorfr universal suffrage, you De
“ mocracy ! “ Will you have that 1"
It cannot be imagined how all this has
crushed doWn Republican aspirations in Eu
rope. Often and often this Summer has-ft
to me personally by European Lib
erals, “ You are ruining us in America!”
The noble and free-thinking of everly nation
on this Continent have mourned over America
during these late events., "If the American
Republic goes dow«%Humanily is down,” one
hears. People watch us, as friends on shore
watch a costly ship freighted with the hopes
and wealth of a thousand families, plunging
fearfully through scurrying storms close on
black line* of rocky reef. Yes, more—os a
truth-seeker, beguiled, might see the Faith of
his childhood and the Hope of all his future,
disappear before him, and only a blank of dis
appointment and inanity left.
We bear with us the ideal* of mankind.—
If we wreck, or if this order of things con
tinues and we are simply a representative of
Southern chatteiism.'ftlteems to me the friends
of liberty throughout the world will hide their
heads—-not hapily doubting of final and uni-'
versa! liberty, but sadly owning it is not for
them or their limes.
Of late, a beam of light ha# come through
your stormy trouble* (o the Liberals of Eu
rope-the nomination of Fremont. His name,
for he is known only second to Humboldt in
every iielligeot circle at I fie continent—his
heroic career, and, above all, the manly,
honest, noble declaration of his principles,
and the enlightened « Platform" df his party,

(> in your history.” Such expressions one fre
quently hears from the best informed thinkers
and tavaiu of the country.
An. impression is general, that the election
of Buchanan would so involve the country in
endless fillibusterism, war and Slavery exten
sion, as to split the Union.
The great struggle is appreciated io Europe.
Republicans I ye who are toiling to re
deem the fair fame of America; who would

of republicans in all lands is on your side I

The Foreign Policy of Mr. Bn
chanan-fflial will It Be.
Who.'were his most active friends and ad
vocates in the Cincinnati Convention! For
ney/Rypders, Sickles, Saunders, Soule* and
Slidelh—every one a notorious fillibuster of
the most unscrupulous kind, and some of
them notorious also for other things. Of
course, we have a. right to judge a mao by
bis friends and confidants; but we have
oilier means of judging what Mr. Buchanan’s
foreign policy will be, should he be elected
President. We call James Buchanan him
self upon the witness stand and compel him
to give testimony. Listen to what he says,
and says, too, in black and white:
. “ After we shall have offered Spain a price
for Cuba, far beyond its present value, and
this shall have been refused, it will then be
time to consider the question, does Cuba in
the possession of Spain, seriously endanger
our internal peace and the existence of our
cherished Union 1 Should -this qnestion be
answered in the affirmative, then, by every
law, human and divine, we shall be justified
in wresiing it from Spain, if we possess the
power.”
We take this declaration of Mr.. Buchanan
from his, Soule's and Mason’s CLlend letter,
or report to ih» .Slate, Mr.
Marcy.
What is the difference between wbat Mr.
Buchanan here -proposes to do, and the de
mand of the highwayman of your purse.—
Will any casuist be kind enough to point it
out to us 7
But in the hbove extract we can see,
“ not as the glass, darkly,” but. a 3 clear as
the unclouded noon-day sun, the foreign pol
icy of Mr. Buchanan shadowed forth; nay
clearly laid down as in a chart before our
eyes.
Who wants a plantation in Cuba? Who
will buy Cuba scrip, payable out of the Cu
ban treasury six months after the establish
ment in fact of an independent Cuban gov
ernment, or the annexation of the island to
the United States? Who’ll buy?
Vermont and Maine. —The overwhelm
ing result in Maine is not considered so sig
nificant or the grand result, by an old Demo
crat, in the New York Timet, who says
Maine has usually been Democratic, and the
active men of that party have been in the
habit of trying' to keep on (he successful side.
That they should change, therefore, he did
not consider surprising. But in Vermont,
said he, those who voted with the Democratic
party, did so hopelessly, in a known minority,
without any selfish ends! and thoroughly upon
principle. When you find tuck men chan
ging, said be, you may know there’s trouble
ahead I If the of Vermont fail
to stand up to the rack, there is little hope
from those of any other Stale.
Capital Illustration.—The following
story illustrates what (lie Pierce, Douglas and
Modern Democracy of the day mean by the
“right of choice, ”or “Squatter Sovereignty.”
It is a story related by .“Zekielof course
he is a .Yankee. Hts| mistress woufd’say to
him, “well, Zekiel, will you : have pudding
qnd milk, or roast bedf, for dinner.l” “Roast
beef, if you please, Ma’am,” said Zekiel. “1
gudss you can eat pudding and milk,” said,
his mistress,-and-pudding and milk it was.
“Will you have Freedom or Slavery-1"
says modern democracy; “Freedom they ex
claim. “Gbess you can gel along with Sla
very.”
A Veteran Repobhoan.— We have been
informed that Mr. A. K. Eline, who was-bprn
in Bucks county, one of our Pennsylvania
Germans, who, as a boy was with Washing*
ton at Valley Forge, called at the- room of
the Republican Campaign Committee for doc
uments, for distribution. Being provided, he
earriedthem himselfto Germantown and Ox
ford. The extreme age of this gentleman—
nearly ninety—and his zeal in the cause,
struck us as significant of the progress of
the great popular movement.

. To form a-prpper.idea. where the.respoosi
bility read ffir ffidrs in
Kansas, it is .necessary to, (race the origin of
the, disturbance?;j, We. oaneaajly.do U now,
(bough a Tew months ago it Was covered by
such a ( .,nudtitudc'pf inventions, byDouglas,
that some good peoplp may-have had their
doubts apd been not d litife mystified; ! h «
on that supposition that 'we ' plain
statement, which : Bubsequenl 'investigations,;
especially of the iodustrious.and able Inves
tigating rComOtittee of the .House of Repre
sentatives,.haw enabled the Newark Adver
tiser to prepare. . Previous to the enactment
of the Kansas a Territory, a
powerfuljsdcieiy was formed ih Missouri for
the expresspuipose bf' making'Kansas a slave
Slate.' Hpw they pro'ceded to carry out their
plan, as soort as 'that ‘act 'passed,- was after
wards fully made-apparent, by. the warlike
irruption of its.merobers and others into that
Territory,, taking,.violent possession of the
ballot boxes, driving away the real inhabi
tants from.the polls qnd npt .allowing them to
vote at all. Thus ; wer : e elected the members
of Yheir sham legislature,,and their delegate
to-Congress, In consequence of these illegal
and outfagebus transactions, Whitfield has
been 'denied admission as. delegate .to the
House, and (be acts of the LegislattfrO have
been declared ro be a disgrace to any coun.
try, not only for their- base origin [bat for
their unconstitutional and tyrannical provi
sions. They have been denounced and repu
diated oh all sidesj.and no ono, whatever his
opinions on other matters may be, has a word
to utter in their, defenoe., -We shallnot now
recite them—they, have been published in this
paper and throughout, the Union. Theifob
ject, however, was professedly to make Kan
sas a slave State, by drat rooking it a slave
Territory. The slave laws of Missouri, in a
body, wore consequently made at once the
laws of the Territory, and the flagitious acts
referred to were subsidiary to this great design.
The furtherance of (he same object, the
judiciary, under the Jeffries of Kansas,
Chief Justice Lb Compte, was set into mo
tion. Under his direction, some of the prin
cipal men of the Free Slate party, who had
been alt end y disfranchised, were indicted for
treason for peaceably meeting to deliberate
on their grievances, and see what could be
recommended for a remedy, os they had a
right to do hy-lhe provisions of the constitu
tion. These weie arrested; thrown .“Cowrie
on, where their persecutors have con fined
them ever since. Not content with (bis, (he

whom was Atchison, now boast of their‘vil
lainous exploits, end show in triumph'the
arms, horses, cattle,’ftir-nitute, and other, prop
erty, of which they robbed the lawful own
ers,' Then they prosecuted a settled plan to
hunt Free Stale settlers, known (a be such,
and drive them from.lbe Territory. ■ At the
same lime, associations were.formed to oper
ate externally, in order to prevent (he arrival
of fresh emigrants from the F f ee Stales, dis
arming some, turning back others, while those
from the Slave Slates wefe prorpptly pertnU
ted to proceed, and encouraged to come;—
The Missouri river is a‘"Closed river to free
emigrants, nnd obstructions arethrown in
their way by land approach to Kansas in
every possible direction. In these high
handed measures, troops have come in aid
from South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama.
Not content with these, Pierce ordered Col,
Suuner to inarch against the inhabitants .of
Kansas with a large body of U. S. irpdps, of
which (*en. Smith, has recently been sent to
take the command; The inhabitants of Kan
sas are, therefore, subdued, or expelled, as

.And what edn justify, such foul, such enor

in America, the land of the. happy and,free,
we hear n?en exclaim ? Wljy, what q mockery
are our constitution, our boasls of security
and equality ! Worse things could not hap
pen in Austria or Tprkay. Is there not some
apology for these infernal outrages ? AVe hove
never heard but one, and that' is it falsehood,
It-is said- by Way of'excuse for alt Ihis.vio
lenco, that Massachusetts < had incorporated
an Emigrant Aid Society, for the! purpose of
converting Kansas into a free Stale, by -force
and money. This is now' proved to be a
shameless falsehood; without the-least foun
dation'.' That State did incorporate an firai
grant Aid Comping in February* lBssjto'ng
after (he passage ofthe Kansas'-Territorial
act, tvitb. a nominal capital of one million,
not ten, as asserted ; but which captjal never,
in fact, exceeded a hundred thousanddollars.
The object: stated - wan f.‘-forjhe. pqrpqsq of
directing emigration westward) and aiding in
providing accommodations for tbe emigrant*
after arriving at. their places of destination.”
This was theiobjeol of-the Society, and . the
sole one, anfi no other assislaDoe was ever ren

in cheapening their, tickets in consequence of
the discount procured of the, transportation

DUNK'S BILL
Hypocrisy of Black Republicans in Con
gress, as Exhibited by the Official Jour
. nod of the House of Representatives!
Such js a threatening, title of a pamphlet,
issued by the Democratic Committee at
Washington, and now being circulated both
by the Buchanan and Fillhoee adherents,
with an earnestness, whtch shows that they
expect, with it, to carry destruction into the
Republiban ranks.-
Now, we have Dunn’s bill before us, and
we aver that it does not-contain a single pro.
vision at- variance with the- declaration of
principles made-' by ihe- ; National Republican
Convention at Philadelphia.
Dunn’s bill repeals the law abrogating the
Missouri Compromise, and re-enacts nnd re
stores that Compromise. The Republican
platform declares these to be leading objects
of the Republican organization.
The bill repudiates Squatter Sovereignly,
and' restores to Congress its Constitutional
powers, declaring that “ all the laws passed
w it)? -iagt»tiyi«a B«3emtjlyr“nnd"gov<srh6r,
shall b& 'submitted to the Congress ofthe i
United Slates, and if disapproved, shall be
void and of no t effect ,” thereby “ restoring
the action of the Federal Government t%the
principles of Washington and Jefferson,”
and is in this ■in. accofdaece with the
“'T-»b>Ui>r,ro, V, ' '
. It repeals the lyratftntHH
tional laws of Kansas, imposed upon a ago|u
gated people, by a bogus legislate re, elected,
through violence, by,bolder ruffians not .resi

Stales, or of said Territory, against any per
son for any charge of treason pribr/tp the
passage of the bill, or any violation br.disre
regard of said legislative enactments at any
lime; thus vindicating the declaration made
by the Republican Convention that “ the
dearest Constitutional rights of the people of
Kansas have been fraudulently, and violently,
taken from (hem by a spurious legislature,
and by judicial and executive officers, whose
usurped authority: has beeo sustained by the
power of the Government,
The bill is one- of conciliation and peace,
ft contains no-provision at variance - with (he
Constitution, or with the principles upon
which it was administered from- the time of
its adoption lo thal of the disastrous repeal
of the Missouri Compromise,’ and none to
which'any one but a slavery extensionist can
reasonably object. It- restores freedom to
Kansas, and extinguishes. Slavery there, glv.
Jog to. those lawfully .'bolding- slaves, within
(hat Territory, till the first of January, 1858,
to remove them—a most just and liberal pro.
vision. It also provides “that any person
lawfully held to service in any other State or
Territory of the United States, and escaping
either ihlo lhe 'Torritory of Kansas dr
hraska, may bh redlaimed and removed to the
person or place where such servico is due,
under any lauf of the United States which
shall'be in fared on the subject.” ■
. This proviso js also" it*" accordance with
the principles'of the Reptiiblican party, -liis
a law-abiffing party. li bde'S not propose'to
interfere with thd rlghts bf slaveholders, nor
<dbes.it'propose to evade, any of Jjs Conslitu
'tional obligations, nor to disobey any Jaw of
(he United States which may. be in force on
the subject of or on any other sub
ject. The Fugilive/Slave Law, as approved
by Mr. PilluoSb, was extended to Kansas
and Nebraska by the bill of 1864, creating
those Territoyles; and so'long as it remains
a law the Republican parly mean to respect
and obey it. ■- -
“This highly just, literal and conservative
bill, received lha ilhanimous vole of the Re
publican members in the House, arid was,

After a long search, the Fillmore parly
completed their Electoral ticket by filling the
vacancy in the Bradford District with the
name of Charles F. Welles, Esq. Mr. W.
is a true American in every sense of the
word, ns is proved from the fact that he pre
sided over a Fremont meeting held in his
neighborhood last \veek. As the current

—The Pennsylvanian brings out a big gun
and declares just below it that the tide has
turned in Ohio'and that Democracy is going
on there, conquering and to conquer for the
following'reason: i
“ An election for Justice of the 'Peace,
warmly -aontesled on political grounds, lately
came olf in Miami Township, Perry county,
Ohio. It resulted in the success of Hardin,
Democrat, by sixteen majority.”
Mr. Brooks, when on the 4th 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 difficulty, but the
treasury- is at New York and Philadelphia,
and Boston, where the public revenues are
collected, and he cannot get to (hose places
without going, “ through the enemy’s coun
try.”—Providence Journal,
Corruption Funds,— The Souihsrn tra
ders and stock-jobbers in Ne,w York, have
lately raised two funds, one of 50,000 dollars,
and another 0f70,000 to be expended in Penn
sylvania. .The funds will be used to colonize
nnd bribe voters. Will the freemen, of Penn
sylvania consent to be bought like cattle in
the market?

The. Washington Union has a long article

Buchanan, in regird to Col. Fremont’s claims
to be balled the '• Conqueror of California
Well,, if the) Union will not believe its own

the Baida; that iffetrs is no laager any-
Whig parly, but simply a union of all the
pro-sldvery ranks upon Budh & Co., for tl\9 4
sake of carrying.Onl the Slave power. Nor
only are the pro-slavery Whigs of the South -
united upon Buchanan, but the prp-slayery-
Whigs of the North also. All pro-slavery-'
men, no matter'-where they may live are ro
favor of James Buchanan, while every maq
that believes that Slavery had ought to be rp,
stricied is in favor of 001. Fremont. If a
man is known by the company, he keeps them 1
it is very evident that James fiuchantl is pro,*
slavery, and if he is elected he will be hottest
enough to carry out the demands of the South j
ern oligarchy. Every intelligent man knows
full welt that James Buchanan is the candj,
date of the Slave Power, —in fact the more
honest part of the party admit it; and we
think that we havb produced enough evidence
tc convince any unprejudiced mind that his
principles are not acceptable to the great mass
of freedom loving people of the North.
The party that opposes slavery extension
is headed by J. C. Fremont, —his principles
are on the side of freedom, and he has been
tried and found true on the great question of
Human Rights, and he is sustained by all thS -1
conservative freedom loving men of tho whole
union. He is not supported by a “faction’’
but by all the truly national men of thp
States. He is no more an abolitionist than
is James Buchanan for they, the Abolitionists
have a candidate of their own, Gerril Smith,
and oppose the Republicans in .the strongest
and most uncompromising manner, .The
supporters of Col. Fremont do hot seete- to
meddle with slavery where it now exists by
virtue of local law, —they have no desire to
interfere with the sovereignly of the States,
but they are opposed to the breaking up of
sacred compacts, and. transfering lands, dace
consecrated to freedom by national compro
mises, to slavery. They believe that thq re
peal of the Missouri compromise was a great
wrong, wholly uncalled (or by the spirit of
the age—they discountenance the numerous
Border Ruffian invasions into Kansas—the
controling of the election polls by non-resident
missourians, and believe that the Legislature
elected by the hired minions of southern Oli
garchy to be a, base fraud and imposition,
not to be tolerated by men that '■'know their
rights, and knowing dare maintain them."
This is all the Republicans ask. After we
make a fair bargain with the South, we'do
not wish it to be broken as soon as it becomes
binding upon them. ' We wish to see the pu
rity of the ballot bos sustained, and in view
of the events that have transpired, duriag tfia
past two years, we have Do hopes of fair play
in Kansas as long as the present party u in
' power, t *
Now, iho question'is fairly presented lo

you choose? We of the masses belong! to

encc by honest, manual labor, but how is'it
at the South? Is labor there respected?
pan a man raise himself- from the lowest
depths of obscurity, and by virtue of his dwn
exertions, inscribe bis name high in his tab
lion’s history 7 You know he cannot. You
know that the while laborer and black labour
move in the same social circle—that there
the children of the poor white man must ns
sociate with tho despised children ofthede
graded slave, and that they are frowned down
upon by the chivalric sons of the South.
Such is the state of affairs at the Sotath—
labor is degraded—the laborer-is despised,
and he whose bread is moistened by honesi in
dusfry mliiH piove on the same social level
with the hereditary bondsman. Voters 1 of
Tioga, think of this I We are nol ashamed
of honest toil, and if we wish to emigrate l lo
Kansas, do not wish lo compete with slave
tabor I Do yoti wish to see the withering
and enervating system of human slavery ex
tended over alt our fair domain in the present
and future ? Do you wish to see the general
government lay violent bands upon Cuba and
wrest it from Spain, in opposition lo.tJhcdaws
of civilized nations, thus involving us in for
eign war, merely for the sake of acquiring
three or four slgve slates? If you r wuh $1
see aH these things, just go to the polls ant'd
cast your vote for James Buchanan, for he (a
