FRENoNr's BANKING OpERArIoSs.-For Soma
time past the Buchanan and Fillmore papers have
been asserting roundly that Col. Fremont was a
partner in the banking house of Palmer, Cook &
Co., of San Francisco. The following card, from
one OF the partners in that house, settles the
hash -
h A CARD.
whereas, 1t having been asserted that Colonel
John c. Fremont is partner of the house of
Palmer, Cook Co., the subscriber, a partner of
SAID house, deems proper to state that there is
no foundation in fact for said report. Colonel
Fremont is not and has never been partner of
Palmer, Cook & Co.

New York. Sept. 2, 1856.
The thousand and one stories that have been
set on foot from time to time by the niger driv-
ing Democracy, and published in their organs,
accusing Fremont of all kinds of misdeeds, are
as false as that which we have Just branded. But
it is hardly worth the time and trouble to take
them up for the purpose of proving their falsity.
For fifteen years the name of Fremont as pub
lie man has been constantly eulogized by the
united press of the civilized world. 1t is only
now, when he is a candidate for the highest Office
in the gift OF the people, that the miserable po-
iltical scoundrels are inventing ISLANDERS against
him, vainly hoping to stop the progress of the
great revolution which will sweep all the old
fogies far away in the sea of oblivion, and, car
rying young Fremont on its topmost wave, place
him triumphantly in the Presidential CHARM.
