Ools Fremont and the Nomination.
VIsIT OF THE MASSACHUSETTS DELEGATION.
A correspondent of the Boston Telegraph,
writing from New York. June 20. has the
following in regard to Col Fremont, and his
reception of the nomination
"As the papers will undoubtedly notice, and
probably misrepresent the fact, that the com.
mittee of the anti Fillmore convention first
waited on Col. Fremont and informed him of
his nomination by that convention, it may not
be amiss to state the facts. Immediately after
the adjournment of their convention, certain
gentlemen proceeded TO Col. Fremont's resi-
dence, and informed him of their action
They were courteously received, and in reply
the Colonel said to them, that he belonged
to the Republican party that be accepted
and approved of the Philadelphia platform
and that if officially informed Of the action of
the american" Convention, he should make
such reply as in his judgment would be
proper.
Immediately after these gentlemen left, he
was waited upon by the committee appointed
ny the Republican Convention to inform him
of his nomination. A written communication
was presented, covering an engrossed copy OF
the platform. Col. Fremont expressed briefly
his cordial approval of the platform. and add
cd that at the earliest moment he would make
formal reply to the communication.
At three o'clock, nearly the whole of the
Massachusetts delegation, accompanied by
portion of the delegates from New Hampshire,
Rhode Island, and illinois, called on thescan-
didate. After introduction to the Col. and
Mrs. Fremont, and half hour of pleasant
chat, Hon. I. D. Elliot, chairman of the Mas
sachusetts delegation, addressed Col. Fremont,
congratulating him upon the unanimity with
whit h the convention, and Massachusetts es-
| pecially, had selected him as our chief in the
great contest between Freedom and Slavery.
| The address was enc of the most touching and
| eloquent we ever listened to. Col. Fremont
was deeply impressed by the address, and re-
| piled, i'll substance. that he was profoundly
moved by this expression of confidence, and
| by the action of the convention that he en-
dorsed cordial every sentiment and every
| principle of the platform, and that if elected
and upon that point he shared fully the con-
fdcnce expressed by Mr.. Ellot-he pledged
the whole power Of the government to carry
ing out those doctrines, (Which, said he with
great earnestness, 81 regard as a second Dec
Iaration Of Independence"
The impression produced upon every mind
was that Col Fremont is man of character
of sincerity, earnestness, integrity, and pluck.
Of one thing there is no mistake-he says
just what he feels and means, and he aotU do
Just aohat he says he wiH. There will be no
cheating round the board this time.
Mrs. Fremont received US with great kind
ness. She IS a lady of unassuning, graceful
manners; more of politician, perhaps, than
her husband, aud has certainly studied Amer
lean politics, and the condition of American
parties to good purpose. True to her woman's
instincts, she is thoroughly anti slavery. They
say, that in reply to a gentleman who ex-
pressed seine surprise at her decided opinions,
she said, "Why, came honestly by them
