We see by the Wheeling papers that meeting
Of Republicans was held in that city on Saturday

constitution was signed and permanent officers
elected. A committee was also appointed to take

where was Fremont Born Z

A Vermont correspondent Of the New York
Express states that John @. Fremont was born in
Lower Canada. If So he is, of course, ineligible
to the Presidency.
Fremont's biographers do not agree as to bis
birthplace. By one it is stated to be Sayannah,
BY another Charleston, by another Virginia. One
OF these writer's Informs us that Fremont's father
led wandering life among the aborigines of the
South But the Vermont correspondent of the
Express states that his wanderings were in the
French settlements Of Lower Canada. This is
probable, as the elder Fremont was Frenchman
and fiddler, and more likely 20 find support
among Frenchmen than among the Creeks or
Cherokees.
This doubt as to the birthplace of Fremont
must seriously impair his strength. If he cannot
prove that he was born in the United States thou
sands and hundreds of thousands will refuse to
vote for him, who might otherwise have been in
clined to do so.
tits worthy of remark that John @. Fremont is
the first candidate for the Presidency concerning
whose origin and religious faith the least doubt
existed. He was nominated apparently in pursu-
ance of the old Roman maxim-<omne ignot1a,
pro mirifco---" all that iE obscure is regarded as
wonderful
