The first half of the Fremont bubble has burst.
Palmer, Cook, & Co., of San Francisco, who have
for the second time dishonored the credit OF GALL
fornia, Of which they the agents. are the JOINT
owners with Fremont in the notorious Mariposa
spec lation and have been the chief instruments
in managing his nomination here, among conyerti-
BILE politicians One of the members Of that firm
has been stationed in Washington since Congress
met. and through his fundamentally have been
nut forth all the fabulous Representations about
the value of that gigantic California humbug-
Newspaper agents and wireworkers have been reg.

issued in scrip of land company in San Francisco,
owned principally in Philadelphia; and Congress
men have been reached through this and other
persuasive influence.
This game Of nominating Fremont commenced
early in the session, and was engineered by the
principal Abolitionists of the House, and a few In
the Senate The original scheme was Fremont
and Banks for the ticket or vice Uersa IL that would
not work-the latter always striving to outwit the
other while professedly supporting him. During
the Speakers contest, Fremont was here many
times and there is no doubt his and the influences
connected with the movement shaped the con-
structon of the committees after the election
Seward was not in the arrangement personally, but

at later day. Seward considers himself badly

This whole movement originated with small
gang of vena and reckless politicians. They do
not anticipate success in November, but by uniting
forces, and controlling the Speaker during this
Congress, they expect to carry some of the most
monstrous projects ever submitted to Congress.
Through this concert, they have already carried
the large land appropriations, by which Matteson
and others filed their pockets and in which some
of your virtuous brethren Of the New York press
shared largely; through it they carried the print
ing, though electng Democrat, Wendell, and di-
viding the spois through it they carried other big
jobs, and by the same agency, they hope to put
through the most gigantic ,swindle for California
ever yet attempted.
Weed Abel, Matteson, and Company, with
Banks quietly, are the managers of this wholesale
system of plumber.
Nothing in the history of the country compares
with the rascality now plotted, and which has al

gers are VIGOROUSLY implicated with the most out
rageous venaity.
1T is proposed to have an investigation in the
House, to ascertain if it be greater moral offence
to punish Senator for offensive language, than to
enter into corrupt bargains, for robbing the Trea-
sury and to put men the record for expulsion
in both cases, az one is already determined upon.
