Hon. WM. L. MARCY,
Secretary Of State, Washington, d. Q.
WHAT THE FREMONT LEADERS SAY ABOUT EACH
OTHER

II is not questioned that Bennett has conriyed TO sup
plant all competitors for the championship Of black repub-
oanism Whether he owes his his persistent
erontery in claiming be the advocate par ereeene Of
Fremont whether the post Of chief oonspraor
ceded TO him in the original programme Of the canvass IL
is not material 10 inquire IL enough that the fact Is
incontroverble that no one-not even Gen. James
Watson Webb Horace Greeley William II. Sew
ard-dares contest the dctaora assumption with which
Bennett poses the leadership and denounces his sub
ordinate associates He charges Greeley with having kill
ed Fremont by puolshng bis life and introducing into
it incidents in his history which have destroyed his
chances of Greeley quietly pockets the insult
and thereby acknowledges the right of Bennett TO re-
buke and condemn him As TO Mr.. Seward Bennett
boldly charges him with reachey from the beginning and
neither Mr. Seward any of his friends
pei the charge General Webb is mercesy rdiculed and
kicked by Bennett but with all his chiyary, be submits to
the degradation without resentment We clip tho fol-
lowing extracts from the Herald of Sunday morning
specimens of the Lind of leaders that seeking to control
| the government:
"The treacherous conduct charged against Mr. Sander
and others of the Fillmore Philadelphia State Committee
not the only thing which has operated give the State
ticket to the democracy by the skin of their teeth The
which nominated Fremont abounded with the ee
ments of reachery and Indifference Seward and his clique
in consenng to surrender Fremon nomination. did so
without any intention of working elect him. Their object
simply Fremont pathfinder for the great oppo
sion party in 1860 plough to clear the track
Then there the George Law and Wm f. Johnston North
American faction holding off in of independent half
andhaf Fremont movement for several months negotiating
for cabinet offices and po in the event of Fremonts cleo
tion the price of their undivided support Of the repub
| Philadelphia ticket.
We seriously entertain the opinion that W. II. Seward
been at least Indifferent the Of the Fremont
movement 1t is not according to his programme inter
feres with his plans and If successful may defeat his u
mate calculations completely it will defeat the schemes
of the disunion democracy This view Of the matter will
probably account for the peculiar speeches which Seward
has been making here and there, compcatng dsracng
and confusing the simple constitutional issues of the
and embarrassing the public mind with false issues We also
charge upon Thurow Weed, Mr. Stewards riCht-hand
| something OF schemng indifference mont move
ment, noisy he is in the supper mont. At the
Philadelphia convention he would have atcd the nomna
ton Of Fremont if he could have done it and for the u
cient that Fremont his constitutional
platform would put Seward in the background among the
waste lumber of by-gone days.
