bert. Hughes knew they would not, but he
desired to give them second opportunity
to punish Herbert and, if they declined Sec
ond time, it would aid him to poison the for
eign population more thoroughly against the
Democratic party, and the more readily to turn
1t over to Fremont, who was to be the candidate
of the coalition which he had formed with Chase
and Seward against Mclean, and in favor Of
man who is a Catholic, and the son of q
foreign Catholic Frenchman.
The Cincinnati Convention nominated Bu-

the Anzieger DIES WcstCns, of St. Louis, the

soiler, and who went for Hale in the campaign
of 1852, has the following in its last issue:
cit Is now more than ever probable that FREE
mont will be nominated at Philadelphia If this Is
done, and if he il placed on judcious platform,
we must support him; for on the main question
the Kansas question--he has spoken out decidedly,
and his character is such as to assure us that
he is not playing farce Moreover, his Mariposa
grant furnishes him with private and special
ground for favoring the settlement of the West by
freemen."
Last, but not least, we translate from the
Abend Zeitung, June 10, a prominent daily
of the city Of New York, the following clear
and able article on the Republican Con.
vention:
although we, three months ago, and repeatedly
after the Pittsburgh Convention, pointed to Col
John @. Fremont as the most suitable man for the
Presidential candidate of the Republican party, we
nevertheless had little hope that, by June, public
opinion would express itself 40 decidedly in his
favor as to render his nomination at Philadelphia
probable; for the recommendation of Fremont at
that time, coming as 1t did, first Of all, from the
German press, found only faint response in the
Anglo American journals In fact IL seemed as II
they purposely turned deaf ear to the voices that
were raised in his favor"
Fremont always selected Germans to accom-
pany him during his explorations; Mr. Preuss,
German, was his confidential friend, and is
now one of his most intimate friends and ad-
mirers. The Germans regard him as their can
didate.
Bishop Hughes, to more closely ally. himself
with Seward, Greeley, and Fremont, came out
in communication, published in the New
York Tribune of June 18th, when it was clear
that the scheme of Seward, Chase, Hughes, and
Co, would succeed in nominating Fremont,
and declared that he (Hughes) was "as much
opposed to slauery as Daniel o. ConneH was, OF
the Neso York Tribune u.s." This communica.
ton is to be found in the Tribune of that date,
and the Tribune, in an editorial, stated that il
was from Hughes. Let this declaration q
Hughes be remembered!
