II has been from the FIRST evident to in
telligent men that Lieutenant Fremont was
nominated for President by corrupt clique
in New York city, who desired 10 use him
for their own purposes. Read the following
disclosures from the New York Day Book
They are rich
The few Fremont men in and about Wall
street have carried long faces and dropping
heads the lest few days, in consequence OF the
disclosures made regarding the financial az
fairs Of their lavorite banking firm in this
city. We have been in possession ofsll the
material fact for many DAYS, and, knowing
Mr.. Fremont as we do, have been no more
surprised at the failure Of his house than we
should be at the failure Of any other wild an
desperate speculator. Nearly everybody in
Wal-street knew, three months ago, that
MIR. Fremont was playing desperate game
ior the nomination, and money and promis-
es flowed like water so long as the question
was undecided.
The firm of Palmer Cook, & Co., which
everybody here knows is Palmer, Cook q
Fremont, received from the city OF San Fran
cisco and the Comptroller OF the State oil
California 100000 10 pay the interest on
the city's and States bonds, due July |, and
payable in this city. This money has all
been used to obtain Mr., Fremonrs nomina-
tion, and now, when the bondholders want
their money, Messrs. Palmer, Cook < Ere.

mond, were matters OF no astonishment.-
1t is aveTred that more than forty members
Of Congress have interests in the Mariposa
grant--how many editors and Northern poll
ticians, no ole pretends to guess. But it is
the Mariposa grant that is mp for President
and not Fremont There is nothing in him
nor of him, nor about him, that any but
young simpetons and old fools will think oI
voting for him for. But he and Mariposa and
Palmer, Cook & Co., make full team, and
that Webb, and GiddingS, and Garrison and
John A. King, and Matteson and Beecher,
and all the big and little villains in the
Northern States, can drive.
Mariposa has a charm for the spectators,
Palmer, Cook & Co., with California State
funds, and good for ready cash to take care
Of the Rocky Mountains and free niggers
will draw in all the old and young fools who
believe in Beecher and Garrison. But there
is something behind all this, and we tell ii
for the benefit Of the spectators and gam
blers who have not yet hooked their chain
into one Of the great Mariposa links. Mr.
Fremont has another great land claim call
ed the Baron claim, and said to be worth,
or will be worth, il he is elected President,
some twenty millions of fdollars. Here is a
chance for you all, though we cannot say that
some of it is no: disposed of. 1t is said
that Webb, and the proprietOrs of the Tri-
bunC, and Bennett, each have q share in
this Baron claim. How it is with Webb
and McElrath we know not; but Bennett
has made sure Of something better. He goes
on the cash system, and will take nothing
short of sixty-thousand-dollar house in
Filth-avenue. In this he exercises his usual
smartness, for the Baron claim will not be
worth pigs tail ifFremont is defeated.
The Tribune Of this morning says not
one word about the Fremont deialcation.-
But the Times states, in its money article
that Mr.. Fremont was in the street yester-
day tryingto raise the sixty thousand dollars

The fact speaks volumes for the Republican
ticket. Mr.. Fremont, the man who "Deye

perseverance, the very soul of honor, witt
all Mariposa to back him, cannot raise sixt,
thousand dollars in cash to save him anj
