SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union gives credence to the very last nativity discovery of the renowned Stephen H. Branch, who thus disposes of the questicn of Fremont’s birth-place : Sin: How dare you attempt to serve the American government through deception’ How dare y.u devy your Catholiciam? How dare you disown your sacred birth-place How dare you direct Messrs Upham & Bige- low. your biographers, to declare rer a were born during the “temporary hai t < your father in Savannah, Georgia ae why kas your father-in-law, Thomas H.

Johnson were Indian agents for the British government. The Indians used t» come and sing and dance in front of the house, and receive bankets from your fa- ther, who died about fifteen venss since, and was buried in the “old French Catholic bury- ing ground.” Your nurse was called ‘‘ Old Sally,’ who has removed to Boston. Now, tir, [demand that you deny or admit these facts Stepaen H. Branca. To Joun C Fremont. The Intelligencer extracts as follows from the letter of the Hon. Wm. Appleton accept- ing the nomination for Congress from his (Bos- ton, Massachusetts,) district, in opposition to Anson Burlingame, wherein Mr A says: “<I am asked to accept the nomination ; and it is intimated that it is desirable to know, if elected by the conservative portion of various political parties, what weula be my courze of ction.” And he answers these inquiries in the ful- lowing frank and characteristic terms: “To these inquiries I am disposed most re spectfully to reply. 1 have changed none of my political opinions, nor adopted any new enes. If asked what they are L must refer to the past as an evidence of what will be the future. If the records of the House of Kepre- rentatives of the United States are examined for my speeches, ‘ey will be found very few, and those very short. I was a member of the Committee of Ways aud Means during the four sessions whilst I was in Congress. It will be found that there was not a meeting when I was in Washington which I did not attend. “The records of the House wil! show that I was generally present and ready to record my name in favor of all conservative measures, by whatever party proposed, and always against agitation and fillibustering ” We. caro not what may be Mr. Appleton’s politic#; no more serviceable representative, so far as the public interest is concerned, ever held a seat in the House of Representatives of the United States; nor was there ever a man of higher personal character among its mem- bers. We sball rejoice, therefore, to hear of his success against any and all opponents, and more especially over Mr. Burlingame. = PERSONAL «+++ Senor Don Antonio Jose de Frisarri, Minister from Guatemala, is at Willard’s. «+++ The Alta Californian seys that Mademe Lola Montes has recently become deeply in- terested on religions subjects, and that she ir- tends living hereafter a life of retirement. «++» Prentice, of the Louisville Juurnal, ac- knowledges a complimentary notice in an ex- change in the following style: ‘* We scarcely koow., dear sir, how to (bank you sufficiently We wish you were the son of the President of the United States, and we were your father.”’ +++» The historian, Mer!

WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. . “It's ne use Krockin’ at a6 Door, Mr- Brown.”—To the cause of Buchanan Breckinridge the success or failure of the cur- rent efforts to force the Fillmore party of Penn- sylvania into a coalition om ® common elec- toral ticket for Fremont’s beneGt, is a matter of no moment whatever. No fusion ticket in that State in the November election, even though the regular Fillmore ticket be with- drawn in its favor, cam ccne within many thousands of the vote that the Democratic ticket will surely receive. Indeed, we shall not be surprised to find the Demooratic ticket {n a clear majority of forty thousand votes on the night of the 4th proxzimo. We repeat what we have previoualy said in this connec- tion. Vis: that the fusion ticket received on the 14th instant every vote inthe State really opposed to Mr. Buchanan. We may truthfally add that it received thousands of votes of persons who though vot- ing for it under a mistaken idea of honor, made no secret of their determination to vote for Mr. Buchanan in the subsequent election, wherein he is to come, personally, immediate- ly before the public. We believe that he was thus at least five thousand stronger than the Democratic State ticket on the 14th inst; bas- ing this opinion on our personal experience among the people of Pennsylvania. Thus, we expect a gain of 10,000 votes in that way. Again, there are at least 10,000 voters of that State who voted the fusion ticket to be on the strong side. They will vote the Democratic ticket on the 4th proximo, to the same end, Thereby, we expect that Buchanan will gain 29,000. The squabble between the Fremont and Fil” more State committees will have tremendous effect upon thousands of Mr. Fillmore’s friends io Pennsylvania who honestly stand with the Democracy upon the slavery question, who, realizing that their favorite has no earthly chance to be elected, will vote the Democratic tieket in return for the compliments bestowed on them by the J'rilune, Herald, et al, now engaged in representing them asthe most Giud- forsaken mereenary villains unhung. Those experienced in such matters, and more es- pecially those who ure also personally aware of the much greater strength which Mr Bueh- anan possesses in Pennsylvania than his party, per se, will realize thet this calculation of ours is a reasonable one. Knowing well that every man in the State who is tinctured with anti-slavery sentiments to a greater or less degrec—Quaker, or what not —strained his every nerve in the last election against the Democracy, we reject, emphati- cally, as unsubstantial, the idea that the cause of Fremont can obtain 100 votes throughout the length and breadth of the State not thrown on the 14th inst. for the Fusion State ticket. Bleeding Kausas!—In their present despe- rate strait, the Fremont Press have been again compelled to resort to the Kansas humbug Every ove of them have again taken to parad- ing false accounts of ‘‘Qutrages in Kansas’’ before their readers in staring capitals. Their latest allegation is, that Colonel St. George Cooke, at the bead of six or seven hundred regular troops, has arrested a northern emi- grant train consisting of some 250 men, with women and children, though the commander thereof had in his possession a pass from Guy Geary. We have carefully examined a great many accounts of this sffair, and are satisfied tiat the truth involved in it is as follows. Viz: The train in question, under Pomeroy, was composed for the most part of portions of Jim Lane's recently dispersed murderers and rob- bers, essaying to re enter the Territory with armé in their hands and under a military or- ganization, but also under the protection of the petticoats of the women of some bona fide emigrante, and the ‘hippirs”’ of their children, 2d. That Pomeroy sent false assurances tu Governor Geary as to the character and com- position of bis train ; and that Geary in return sent bim the protection or passin his possession, which simply authorized his followers to enter the Territory provided they were found to be, in reality, such persons as he had described them to be 3d. Col, Cooke, on investigating them, found their major part to be Lane’s recently dispersed followers and their recruits, fully equipped and prepared for renewing the late war in the Ter- ritory. He arrested them, as he should have done. Our only regret is that he had no law under which he could hang them legally to the first trees within reach. The dona fide settlers in the train were all promptly permitted to go their way to their proposed new homes, care being taken to see that they went into the Ter- Titory in a manner making it certain that they would not throw off the character of pesceful citizens on getting out of sight of his (Cooke's) dragoons. ‘Lhose of Lane's men thus falling in Col. Covke’s hands were of course held a8 prison- ers ; a3 they are all under charges of murder, arson, robbery, &c ,—were criminals fleeing from justice. After the 4th proximo there will be no more Kansas humbuggery, the reader may rely on it; ns the incucement for tho systematic falsi- fication of events occurring in the Territory will have come to an end The General Result —We have been over- Tun of late with queries as to what is likely to bo the grand result on the 4th prox., and pro- pose to answer them ina lump, as follows Viz: we expect Buchanan and Breckinridge cer- tainly tocarry Penneylvania, New Jersey, In- diana, Illinois, California, and every slave- holding State except Maryland, concerning whose political sffairs we are not sufficiently posted at this time te venture an opinion that will be really worth more than a random guess. All will depend there, however, on the nerve of the Democracy of Baltimore. If they are determined to secure a fair election in their city, we cannot perceive how we can lose the State, if there te a shadow of truth in the ae- surances of our friends in the raral districts. If they fold their arms and so soon again per- mit gangs of “ Plug Uglies,” « Rip Raps,’’ 4c, to keep twenty-five hundred Democrats logally entitled to vote from depositing their ballot, we shall probably be beaten in Mary- land. As, in tuch case, we should deserve to be beaten. | We are further satiefied for carrying New Hampshire and Connecticut | is now twice as good as that a and that we have at lesdk a glee le ecpatth an equal show with | them for the electoral | Michigan and Wisconsin ™*™ York, The prestige of the hour throughout the whole North runs with immense force in be- ha'f of the Democrats. It is telling in all quarters with tremendous effect in our favor. The Journal of Commerce, famed for be- ing more nearly correct than any other Paper ! in the North is its ante-election calculation-, that our prospect is now becoming sanguine that we will carry | New York; and experience teaches us that we may placé More reliatee upor ite: judg- ment than on that of any other calculator in such matters of whom we know aught. Tezas—Our gentle and ingenuous neigh- bor, if we mistake not, is still in the habit of claiming Texas as being sure for Fillmore Now, by way of showing such of hia readers as see the Star the extent of his verdancy in election statistics, we present them with the official account of the majorities for the dif- ferent candidates on the Democratic State ticket in the recent Texas election, (which we take from the last number of the Austin city State Gazette,) as follows. Viz: Comptroller. J. B. Shaw (Dem.)......+ E. 8. Robertson, (K N.). cacnnneaessel 00s sesecnssl@ Ale Democratic majority. +.++.+e-eee00+21,224 Treasurer J. H. Raymond, (Dem.) W. A. Tarleton, (K N.).

Wheeler, (Associate, ) *A G Lipscomb, (do ,) T.J Jennings, *The old Bench re: The Kaow Nothings had no ticket for the Supreme Court the aver.ge Democratic majority on the State ticket 20,069. The Democratsin Austin and Galveston can get no takers for bets that Buchanan ad Breckinridge will carry the State by 30,000 majority. Yet it is out of such cases as this of Texas that our enthusiastic neighbor is get- ting up his prospective Fillmore victories on the 4th proximo. We really feel forour Know Nothing fellow citizens whose pockets have been so badly burned through the unfunded election calculations of our 80 remarkably we! informed neighbor, and therefore give them the benefit of these facts and figures concern- ing the true state of affairs political in Texas, by way of helping them to save their money not yet bet off on tho strength of the assevers- tions of our talented neighbor. Eabid.—The failure, so far, of the Pennsy’- vania Fremont State Central Committee to force the Fillmore State Central Committee to unite with them in recommending a joint op- position electoral ticket, has driven the New York Herald, Tribune, Times, Post, Courier, and their colaborers stark mad. Inthe whole course of our newspaper experience we have never before seen men so rabid in politics as all the conductors of the Fremont press appear to be on this subject—never. Sanderson, the Chairman of the Fillmore State Committee, comes in for much the largest share of their abuse. He has, however, we must in justice admit, vindicated triumphantly the entire in- tegrity of hiscourse and that of his fellow committeemen. His purpose has been opposi- tion to Buchanan and Fremont alike, and the support of Fillmore, and him only, for the Presidency. With the entire Fillmore party of the South and the entire Fillmore party of New York also endorsing the propriety of the course of his committee, it is evident to us that at this late day they cannot be driven to sel! out, body and breeches, to Thaddeus Stevens & Co, which is the end and aim of all the blackguardism to which they are now being subjected from the presses of Greeley, Bennett, Raymond, Bryant, Webb and their allies. The Bu:termil< Coming Out of the Stir- about.—The New York Herald, of Sunday, shows that the defeated fusion Siate ticket in Pennsylvania was awfully damaged by in- trigues of George Law and Wm. F. Johnson, each being after acabinet place under Fre- mont; and also by secret efforts on the part of Senater Seward and Thurlow Weed to pre vent Fremont’s success, though professing to be desperately auxious fur his election. The Herald also announces that its Rev. Joseph A. Scoville has been dismissed from his posi- tion as private chaplain to George Law, under asuspicien that his late redoubtable patron, the aforesaid George, owes to him—Scoville— the Herald’s recent change of front with reference to the real worth of Live Oak. Ben- nett urges Scoville to make a clean breast of it. To tell the whole history of the operations of the tribe of ‘ blood-suckers’’ (as he styles them) who have been luxuriating for perhaps a year past on Law’s silly ambition for a posi- tion for which he is hardly better fitted than every other white man within the limits of the State of New York. If Scoville gets up a book of such revela- tions, its sales will pay ina fortnight ten times as much as his pension from Law has paid up tothis time S. is just the man to fixupa saleable book of that sort.

If Giles, I’ve lost a horse; if not—odd’s butterkins—I’ve found a cart!’ Poor Fremont! The Albany Statesman learns, upon” the best authority, that Thurlow Weed, since the result in Pennsylvania has become defiaitely known, has said thet so far as Fremont was concerned the Presidential question was al- ready decided. Three weeks ago, N. P. Banks, jr., was ‘“di- bating in his mind’ whether he would accept the Speakership in the next House of Repre- sentatives or the office of Secretary of War in the Fremontca¥inet What troubles him now is whether he can be returned to a plain seat in the House.—Boston Courier.
