prevented by a severe attack of dysentery,
from attending the meeting at Xewbnrg.
Evert one at the bottom of his heart cher

Ges..W. IT. Ikwi.v, of Mifflin county, has
bcn nominated by the Americans and Repub
licans of the Mifllin, Centre and Lycoming
District, as their candidate for Congress.
It is a little singular, in the present shape
ol politics, that the southwest county in Iowa
tho one nearest Kansas, is named Fremont,
and the town where the Missouri route crosses
into Nebraska, Dayton. So the way to Kan
sas, literally, is through Fremont and Dayton !
and a great many are taking that ror.d.
New Mexico. Advices from Santa Fc to
the 1st Aurut state that immense excitement
lias been produced by a report that a new gold
rcgiou had been discovered about 450 miles I
lrom Santa Fe. The gold is said to be lyin
in large quantities on the surface of the cart!
Parties arc forming to go to the newly dis
covered El Dorado.
The Hamilton JS". Y. Pennblican announces
another important accession to V.vi cause of
freedom in the person of lion. Charles Mason,
of Madison county, one of the Judges of the
Supreme Court of New York. He wus a Dem
ocrat of long standing, and was elected to the
office he now holds by that party, but be can't

Califobxia Election. It has been general
ly stated that the State election in California

England state that the Conservatives arc at

re-established. 200 prisoners have been sent

WHAT II :s ENEMIES SAID.
Thj lollowi.ng tributes t the hih character
and achievements ot Col. Fremont arc from
the loader of thu party which now, for the
basust purposes, is attempting to malign him.
No sooner did Col. Fremont become the can
didate of the Republican party for the Presi
dency, than the very tnen who liavo lor years
been loudest in his praise, began to assail him
with false charges against his character. His
deols of heroism in the service of his country
cannot be disputed. His laurels, achieved in
the cause of science and in the service of his
country, cannot bo snatched from his brow ;
and the enemies of Freedom, despairing of
counteracting his rising popularity by any or
dinary means, have resorted to the loulest as
persions upon his private character. Now,
hear what their bet friends thought of him
before any one dreamed that he was to lead
the hosts of Freedom to victory :
"Ou the 3d of March, 1848, Mr. Cass, lrom
the Committee on Military Claims, reported a
bill for ascertaining and paying the California
claims, which was passed to a second reading.
'Mr. Cass briefly touched on the part which
Col. Fremont had taken in the occupation of
California, and the consummate skill and cour
age which he had evinced in an expedition
teeming with estraordiuary and romantic in
terest. "
Mr. E'ix (Cong. Globe, vol. 18, p. 509) made
an able speech in support of the bill, and in
which he paid the highest compliment to Col.
Fremont. We have room only for the follow
ing extract : .
"I do not know that any explanation, fur
ther than that which had already been given
by the honorable Senator from Michigan, is
necessary to vindicate the propriety of passing
the bill. The pecuniary obligations lor the
discharge of which it provides were contracted
in good faith, for the purpose of subduing the
country, and expelling from it the military
force of Mexico. In the execution of these
objects, the young and accomplished ofh'cer,
Col. Fremont, exhibited a combination of en-
C1'g) promptitude, sagacity and prudence,
which indicates the highest capacity for civil
and military command; and, in addition to
what he has done for the cause of science, it
has given him a reputation at home and abroad
of which men much older and more experien
ccd than himself might be proud.. That the
country will do justice to his valuable and
distinguished services, I entertain not the
slightest doubt. .....
There is no doubt that his Fremont's rap
id and decisive movements kept California
out of the hands of the British subjects, and
perhaps out of the British Government.
"It is in this point of view that these trans
actions possess the greatest interest and im
portance, and that the sagacity, promptitude,
and decision, of our youthful commander in
California, at tho time disturbances broke out,
have given him tho strongest claim on his
countrymen. Any faltering on his part, any
hesitancy in acting promptly, might have cost
us millions of dollars and thousands of lives,
and it might also have cost us a contest of
which the end is not readily seen."
Mr. Atchison, on the same day, (see page
501, Congressional Globe,") remarked as follows
'lie gave it as his opinion, not only that
the conquest of California was effected by Col
Fremont, but that the L'nitcd States had de
rived the advautage of his conquest at compar
atively little cost. He justified Col. Fremont
in all he had done If he had dono less, he
would have deserved and would have received
the execration of the whole country. Hi
made sonic reference to the course which Col
Fremont pursued a course in some instances
rendered indispensable for his own prescrva-
tion, and always characterized by skill and
promptitude."
In the Senate, on the 2oth of April, 181?
Mr. Crittenden said ;
"The conduct of Col. Fremont entitled him
to cur confidence, and on him we could more
natural!- rely than on any other persons who
have ni.t had the same connection with the
claims."
Oji the same day, Mr. Allen said :
"Col. Fremont, in his opinion, was the most
meritorious American of his age now in exis
tence, and had he Mr. A. the power of ap
pointment, he would ere this have given him
a military appointment in Mexico, for which
nature had so clearly formed him."
Mr. Bagby, who opposed the passage of the
bill, spoke of Col. Fremont as a man of extra
ordinary merits and abilities."
Mr. Calhoun, who opposed the bill, sail:
"I do not oppose this measure on the ground
of opposition to Col. Fremont. .
I have a slight acquaintance with the Col-
onol, and I am so favorably impressed as to
him, that 1 would as readily trust him as any
ther individual. His integrity is beyond
suspicion."
"I regard Col. Fremont as one of the most
heroic and successful officers in our army an
army of which any nation might be proud."
Sctialor Rusk, of Texas.
IIo.v. Emitiraim Mabsii, of Xew Jersey,
who was President of the National American
Convention, which nominated finmore anu
Doneison, is out for Fremont and Dayton.
The Newark Jicertiscr, m noticing this tact,
says: We have been aware for some weeks
that it was Judge Marsh's intention to vote for
i rem
ont ondDaytou having long since leu
convinced that the election of the nominees
Convention at which ho presided was
hopeless, and that the extension of Slavery
JsoliUry issonow before the country-
could oniy be prevented by the election of
Fremout awl Dayton. He has used his best
. , procure a union cf the friends of
..ji.co asrainst the present Mate and Na-
I mv . -a - ... , .
tional Aail)inistrations, but failing to bring his
. . confreres to his own enlightened
he determined to pursue tho course
views,
T. ' .i science dictated-leav-
i wnicn uia vuij --
. tQ follow their own course and bear
its responsibilities. Jadge .Marsh has been
decided as to his course for a long time, but
the first public manifestation of it was made
Wednesday evening, when he addressed a
Fremont meeting in Morristown. It is a re
markable circumstance that the President of
the Convention which nominated Mr. Fillmore
has taken this course, and it receives addition
al significance from the fact, that so many
members of tho same Convention, besides can
didates or electors ou the Fillmore tickets in
several States, arc declaring themselves tho
same way. It cannot fail to produce an im
pression on the country at large, and speedily
reduce the triangular contest to the two lead
ing parties.
... .
California. The Georgo Law brings ews
from San Francisco to the 20th. Judge Terry
has been released, and though the Vigilance
Committee has not officially disbanded, yet it
s understood that their functions are to cease
for the present. Much dissatisfaction exists
amongst the people at tho result of Herbert's
trial at Washington, and should he return to
California, there is no telling what shape tho
feeling might take. The indignation against
our former rulers and officials, say the advices
from that State, has by no means abated with
the hanging of a few culprits, who, however
deserving of their fate, aro coming to be re
garded as the tools of the more designing and
successful politicians, who have made their es
cape. This feeling is deepening every day,
and might not be altogether safe for some who
have occupied even the highest executive po
sition in the State, to encounter it just now.
One of our ex-Governors may be regarded as
a fugitive from justice, indictments for high
crimes having been found against him shortly
after he left the State ; and, if rumor be true,
the presence of auothcr Is by no means desi
rable perhaps would not be tolerated by an
injured and outraged people.

Stranger's Creek is about 50 or CO mik-s north
east of Lawrence toward the Nebraska line
and Stringfellow, at the head of 200 or 300 ruf
fians was prowling along the border in that vi
cinity. It the account is correct, the massa

permanent settlement at Stranger's Creek.
Gen. Richardson was said to have Veen ta

Lane would attack Leavenworth, and great
consternation prevailed. Gen. Smith has sent
