Col. Fremont'! "Awful" "Ferocity"! One of the Jlumfaiit I I Perhaps the surest evidence of the des perateness of the opposition to Fremont, is the CROSS FALSEHOODS hatched up against him. Ordinarily one of (he most gentle and inoffensive men, against whose spotless character not a word was heard before his Nomination, yet now he ia denounced aa all (hat is vile. Take as a specimen the following from all the Buchanan papers : "Look on This !

The Southern faee of the Cincinnati nomineo is presented by bis Southern organ ; tnd here it is as painted by tho Vickaburg Sentinel. It says s " We dare any ono to point to a single vote that Mr. Buchanan ever gavc.during his Congressional career, involving the question of slavery, that was not on the aide of the South, and opposed to the Abolitionists." The Providence (IL I.) Post, as zealous a Buchanan organ as the Richmond En quirer, introduces him to a New Kugland pnblio thus : " Mr. Buchanan never nltcrrcd a sen tence in defence of slavery, or whispered a word in favor of its existence, or cast a vote which any honest man could construe in support of the institution." A good conscience, a sound stomach, a clean skin, are elements of good humor. Get tbero, and keep thctn.tind bo f tire to j kef in a go? humor. Srw Hnlein ('orreapoudence.
