The Charges against Col. Fremont
,c
Speculation Triumphantly Refuted.
When honest, well-meaning persons write
us that such and such absurd libels on Col. '
Fremont are circulating in their locality, and
that•they want documents wherewith to re.
futp them, we cannot help answering that they •
take libld of business exactly at the wrong end.,
have.really. to . dolls...Li; make their-.
neighbors acquainted with the true character
. of Col. Fremont, hie career, his services, and
the 'estimation which ho had ever- been held
by the wise and good who intimately know
him and this will preclude all necessity for
. paying attention to the petty •larceily slanders
with which his baser adversaries, seek to black ;
en his reputation. Only let the people see
and know him is be is,' and the vipers will
find themselves biting a the sharpest
file that ever - jaws were worn upon.
Let us illustrate the character of these B
leb; by a few _ ready illustrations :
• The conquest of California from•lMexieo Nv-tts
-effected , by• very . moderate forces, yet witb.
•
very little bloodshed. Col. Fremont 'bore d
most distinguished part in that conquest—at
least, all, the cotemporary accounts gave him
-tlie—credit—of-se----doing—Sporetary,-Maroyls
among the rest. We believe Mr. Buchanan
did not commit himself in a puyio document;
but we are assured than when Cot Fremont's
beef contract was under investigation before
the Indian Committee of 'the House, Mr.
.chanan appeared as a witness for Cot Fremont
before that Committee, and testified strongly
in his favor. It they were not now rival,
candidates, we believe Mr. Buchanan would
now gladly appear as a conclusive witness
against Col; Frementl - slinsderer..
-Of course so_lrtrge a country as California
was - not-Conquereii and could not have been
held;:bi force so immensely Inferior in num..
bers as were its American conquerors to' the
hostile Mexican authorities, soldiers and pee•
pie; but by - the-manifestation of extraordinary
activity as well as courage. 'Our little force
there in 18.16-47 had• to pe . multiplied many
fold by rapid Movements-from point to point,
and by suddenly appearingwhen and where
if was least expected. Vino Col. Fremont,
whonrCom.-Stockto6,__after the conquest ap
pointed' its Governor, was at onetime obliged
to r id e of the bead of one hundred mounted
men; Over four hundred miles—that is, front

Take one instance Fremont deemed
it necessary to head a party of his force and

have become exceedingly formidable and an

, Mr. NFLonahan,_ of ReUnsylvanitz, in. some
remarks, on the subject. said:
• Upwards .of $200.000, of claims wore 'pre

which Col• Fremont, was imprisonetlin London,
was` unanitnowdy and placed first on,
the list submitted to us-4y the_Counnissiotiers.
This is the only demand against the: Govern,-
ment in which Col. Fr'emont appears to have
the slightest personal interest."
This debate - shows flint Col. Fremont had no
interest in any otherelaim than that for $,lO,
500. which Ott Board of Commis:4°l4'ore unani
measly allowes, Mr. Gorman remarked:
The claims which are there stated origina
ted in this,,Jvise. Col. Fremont, when - there,
when neoessnry, sent a guard of men to take
the property of the oitizens—mules, horses
and cattle--for the public use. The owners
come and made claim to Col. Fremont, as civil
and military Governor of California, for cotn
pensation for their proyerty. Col. Fremont
laid all the cluims presented tolim before the
Board. The case was precisely similar to that
of the army of the United States,sin Mexico—
I have done the same thing myself on a march.
I have forced men to give me mules when
those on,whiph the soldiers rode gave out. I
have seen the same thing often. done by.- other
officers of the army. The owners (Able prop
erty taken would follow to the next town, and
there would receive a certificate that such and
such property had been taken tor the, rttil.c
service, -which they presented to the Quarter-
Master, who sometimes paid for, lt:' If these
charges were made by Mexicans I would not
twardazed if the &nose - articles had been charged,
for one ifundred times."
The reader who wishes t6 t 'pursue this inves
tigation farther can doubtless find a Congres.
aional Globe, Vol. XXVI., and trace the de'
bate: throughout. The claims were very prop
erly scrutinized, but no one questionetrthe
integrity and goothconduot of Co). Fremont.
The Hon, David.t. Carter; Of ,Ohio, (then as
now a frominent Democrat, but then a Pierce
Democritt, now fOrFremont,) said :
Personally, I know Col. Fremont, but very
slightly. I have had the honer of an intro•
dilation to him. Ile Is a small men, but he is
as gallant as any mass of eta of the sonnetize -

mies-such-as very-few of the public servants
of this - Republic have ever mot. Both ene
mies that man presents and enemies that God
preeents—mountain enemies, ravine enerities,,
enemies of frotit and of heat and of fasting.
Now I do not think that a man who bag marched,
for a week feeding on green hides and on the
skeletons of worn-out and diseatied mules.
would cheat his Government out of twenty or
- forty thousand dollitrs. My own opinion is,
that When u man bee gathered op a reputation
by deeds of almost unparalelled peril, be
would want to transmit-it-undefiled_tolis pos,
terity, and that twenty thousand dollars would
have no more influence upon him than twenty
cents. That is uty appreelation of such , ser
vice as Fremont'e. , . It 'shot like sitting cross
legged up here , in one of, those bureau°. It
was enough for him to , know that part of this
continent belonged to the United States; that
they put upon him , the peril of exploring it ;
that he was desired by his government to make
the way open to the thousands and thousands
Mho were to - follow it to fortune, and to define
a State that in magic! time would become an

my opinion, it is one of the best defences that
qan be made topreserve the institution of sla
very in this country, that it was forced npon
us against the wishes of our ancestor-:our
own 'American colonist ancestors—and' 631 the
cupidity of our British Commercial ancestors.
-The power then, Mr. President, in my opin
ion—and' I extend it to , the introduction as

new territories—does exist in Congress; and
I think there is this importatii,disthictinn be-;
