National nut-Iiiscncer ON Rcpubii-
can nominations.
From the National Inietligencer we take
the following remarks with reference &c he
Republican National candidate. The Intel
hgeacer is paper that measures its words,
and yer says more than il means. But il
Is candid AMI honest, and does not refrain
from xpressnc its high admiration of our
candidates. In what striking contrast do
the remarks Of so honorable and honest an
opponent appear, when compared with the
carping Distractions Of mean and petty
minds
hat We say, however, CT the unexpnct-
et'ness TO Us of CO... Fremont. nomination
As not intended to cony cy any disparagement
OF that gentleman himself, the fact is, though
iull young 10 be brought forward for the
Presidency, he is man of high qualities
modes, wise for his years, Sc ,f-reliant, brave,
collected and calm amid dangers. lie has
encountered r.als and conquered difficulties
which Few men could have COPIED with sue
cessfutly. His victories have been over the
rigors OF Nature, in their severest aspect
nihe bottome,s snow drifts OF desert and
untrodJen mountains. In the hardy pursuits
VI the explorer, few men have periled -
much or suffered rs much rs Col. Fremont.
In this path Of duty and distinction he early
excited our admiration and interest. He
served. i, is true, ~ brief space in the Senate
OF the U. s.; but his yet shor. life has bee
spent in the intrepid wilderness, SO that he
Is CON oaratively unknown as politician.
The lntelligencer says Of Mr.. Dayton.
The Philadelphia Convention, with n una
nimity honorable both to It's own judgment
and the object of its choice, nominated for
the Vice Presidency, William l.. Dayton, Of
New Jersas, citizen Of whom it mag truly be
said that il he has in the whole country any
superior rs u statesman, he has not in the
whole country any superior in the virtues and
dignity OF gentleman, aud the attributes Of
u patriot.
Ca Whitfield, fresh from Border Ruf6an
raid which he led into Kansas, appears again
in Congress as the representative of a people
whose territory he lately invaded with foreign
troops. What astupcndous mockery Of pop
ular representation is that which he exercises!
The rasishcr and deyastator Of the people be
represents, driven from the Territory by
United States troops, for his violation OF
the Laws in the invasion Of kaasns, and the
murder and pillage OF hcr people, he appears
freshly in the halls Of the National Legisla-
ture TO plead their interests and represent
their sentiments. 1t seems incredible that
such things should be. II is impossible chat
the people should ratify and perpetuate them.
&C Mazzini has signi6ed his intention Of
retiring from politics, and will soon leave
London for New York or some other Ameri-
lean City. His labors have been long and
earnest in the cause Of popular liberty and
Improvement in Italy, and he retires at pc
rioi when the hopes Of his friends and their
prospects Of success have rarely been lower
and gloomier.
