POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS & ELECTIONS - United States (Cont'd)<br />
2628 - L Oct. 39: 1/5,6 - The people of the free states have so long<br />
yielded to the arrogant demands of the slave oligarchy in the South that<br />
the latter has come to think it can carry any measure, no matter how degrading<br />
it may be, to the character of the free white men of the North.<br />
But the last , the crowning assumption is, that Slavery is not to be confined<br />
to the Negro race, but must be made to include laboring white men<br />
also. "The man who votes for Buchanan in the coming election votes his<br />
own land away, votes to degrade labor, and fasten a depotism upon the<br />
free North, more oppressive than Austrian and Russian tyranny." (31)<br />
2629 - L Oct. 29:2/1 - The Fremont club will hold another meeting at the<br />
Melodeon this evening. The audience will be addressed by Hiram Griswold,<br />
F. J. Prentiss, and Dr. J. S. Wilson. (3)<br />
2630 - L Oct. 29; ed:2/l - We learn that Mr. Corwin is posted as one of<br />
the orators at a Republican jubilee to come off at Hamilton on Friday,<br />
Oct. 31. As there is no vestige of the shadow of a hope for the ghost<br />
of a chance for Fillmore, Corwin goes for Fremont. (1)<br />
2631 - L Oct. 29:2/1 - The Young Men's Fremont club of North Brooklyn<br />
will be addressed in English by C. W. Palmer, and in Gerlilan by J. Miller,<br />
tomorrow evening. (2)<br />
2632 - L Oct. 29; ed: 2/2 - "All that this party (Democratic) hCls done,<br />
all it proposes to do in the way of fi 11 ibustering and slavery extension,<br />
by armed invasion, and through fire and blood. its candidate for the presidency,<br />
James Buchanan, most cordially sanctions, and even now his partisans<br />
are shouting in expectation of his election. With his triumph, how<br />
much better would be a home in Ohio than in Georgia? ... Shall they triumph?<br />
"Men of truth and honor, men of humane and noble aspirations, there<br />
remain but six days to work. Let farms, and merchandise, and minor affairs<br />
now be laid aside for these six days, for of what value wi 11 be<br />
the possession of these, if we are to live and die slaves?" (17)<br />
2633 - L Oct. 29; ed:2/2 - "The public sentiment of the Free States is<br />
overwhelmingly in faver of Fremont and Freedom. All that is necessary to<br />
sweep everyone of them is t.o get out the full vote. Ali ttle time judiciously<br />
employed in so arranging matters beforehand, that every voter shall<br />
be brought to the polls and vigilant attention given on election day, will<br />
ensure a glorious triumph." (3)<br />
2634 - L Oct. 29; ed:2/3 - "James Buchanan is the standard bearer of the<br />
Southern aristocracy, the representative, and embodiment of the rich, the<br />
well-born, the oppressors of the poor, the violators of the compact of<br />
Freedom, the men who strike down freedom of speech in the Senate, and who<br />
muzzle the press, and enslave thought whereever they have the power to do<br />
so.... Men of Ohio, shall he be elected? Shall the Slave power again drive<br />
