Fremont is gaining ground daily. There

Mr. CHoArE has long been famous for his
advocacy of desperate cases. He has saved
many man from the galows who richly de-
served it, and is generally sent for in Grim
inal trial when the facts and the law, and the
testimony are all against him. Such is the
case ST the slave democracy in Maine, and 1t
was thought that if anybody could save them,
it would be the man who got off Tyrel We
should hardly be surprised if, at some future
day, when all his predictions have been dis
proved by the facts. aud all his fears shown to
ridiculous Mr. Choate should argue in sound
ing and sitterng periods that his Maine.Ietter
was written in state OF somnambuism.
