greatly mistake the signs of the times, will
choose for its next President a man who
has noi been bought and sold in the politi-
cal shsnbles for the last forty years. Col.
FREMONT has spent his life hey ond the cor.

| Of life, he comes upon The Stage with fixed
| principles, al independent mind, an honest
purpose and a r~esoiute will, and is presented
| by one Of the mestfespectable Conventions
that ever assembled in cur country, as q
candidate for the SURFACES Of the people for
the highest Office within their gin. IL is
true that be has not. like Mr.. B~ucH1sAs,
been q Congressman without influence, q
| Senator without distinction, a Cabinet Of
! ncer without the public confidence, or a
ID plomatist without success. Fortune nss
led him into very different paths, and re-
CURED Of him far more sterling qualities than
suffice for the demagogue and time-sersing
| politician. His life has been one OF action,
q struggle with the most threatening difiie.
I ulties, an endurance oftbe most fearful suf-
ferings. An extraordinary energy of char
scter, al iron frames ofwiii, have enabled
| him to perform labors and undergo priva-
| ton. which broke down stronger and more
experienced men, and earned for him a
worldwide reputation As an explorer. The
| same energy Of character. the same ron
irmness, and the san seit-reliance, are
wanted ia the occupant of the Presidential
chair in these troubious times, and musf be
there il the Union is 10 endure much longer.
IN these qualities Mr.. Buchanan is greatly
deficient; and, like the present Executive
would be the tool o! sectional and corrupt
men. We want no "~tallow-rag" for The
Presidency. The times are perilous and
imbecility must retreat from our high placer.
-Four years Of the rule Of imbeciiity, have
broueh: ss to the verge OF civil war and rev.
~olstion, another four years may be Sufficient
TO make the destruction Of our government
inevitable.
W. think this is the popular idea idea al
the present time, and that the people will
rally 10 the standard OF one just choson
from their Dan number, who has not been
corrupted BY long years Of intrigue and
demagoguery, and will choose him Tor their
Executive for the next -four years; and We
hope TO be able TO announce, st the close Of
the csmpsign, the triumphant election Of
Col FRfMoET."
