POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS & ELECTIONS - United States (Cont'd)
"We beg of all at the North to read the avowals, and then to act upon
them. Nothing but the election of Fremont can avert these crimes." (6)
2532 - L Oct. 1:2/3 - In a letter to the editor, "One of the deluded"
says: "One week ago last Saturday evening the people of this town I istened
to an address given by Judge Bliss of your city. He talked for
about two hours and a half against the Republican party and almost every
word that he spoke was either a lie or falsehood. You can set Lorain down
for 2,000 majority for Fremont and if Bliss continues his missionary efforts
it may be as high as 2,500." (11)
2533 - L Oct. 2:3/2 - In a. letter to the editor, C. V. Daniels says: The
results of the vote taken on the Cleveland and Mahoning railroad, on Sept.
25 were incvrrectly given by the LEADER in its issue of Sept. 25.
"I had the pleasure of taking the above vote, which resulted as follows:
Fremont, 513; Buchanan, 125; Fillmore. 2." (3)
2534 - L Oct. 3; ed:2/1 - The Detroit AMERICAN has an article headed,
"Is the Republican party anti-Slavery?"
"The editor of that journal is anxious for fear anti-slavery men will
be deceived by the Republican party and says there is something mysterious
about the support they give Fremont.
"As to 'What's up?' it is a question which is being answered daily.
The free spirit of the northern people is 'up'; the political game of
Northern presidents with Southern principles is 'up'; the 'dander' of
the Universal Yankee Nation is 'up' and about the 4th of next November
it will be 'all up' with Millard Fillmore and James Buchanan." (9)
2535 - L Oct. 3; ed:2/1 - In 1844, in the interior of Pennsylvania, the
Democratic leaders shouted, "Polk, Dallas and the Tariff of 1842," and
displayed flags with these words. Now they are trying to deceive the
people in the same way with the banner of "Buchanan, Breckenridge, and
Free Kansas."
"We all know how the tariff of 1842 fared with Polk and Dallas. So
it will be with free Kansas if Buck and Breck get at it." (2)
2536 - L Oct. 3; ed:2/2 - "Like thousands of other honest and intelligent
Democrats, Lieutenant-governor Myers has concluded to stand by his lifelong
Democratic principles rather than wander after swamp-lights, as Douglas,
Pierce, and Atchison. Hence he supports that sterling young Democrat,
John C. Fremont." (7)
2537 - L Oct. 3; ed:2/ - California is blazing for Fremont. "Judging
from the present prospect there will be some 'thunder' from the southwest
about election time, which will jar as harshly upon the ears of our
Buchanan friends as that recently from the northeast." (6)
