resolution we hope that the President will not
forget MarcS's official report Of the Conquest Of
California by Fremont.
We believe that, with proper energy and dis
cretion in his behalf, Fremont can be elected
We think he ought 10 be elected; be-
cause, as in 1910, we have everything to gain
and nothing to lose from the defeat Of the de-
moralized democracy. They want clearing out
as badly now as they did then; and the majority
Of the people have already so declared
Elect Fremont, and it extinguishes this seces-
sion and abolition niger agitation for twenty
years The Southern secessionists feel it, and
are loud and clustering for secession, only because
they feel that with Fremont's election their occu-
patton win be gone. The abolitionists of the
real Garrisonian disunion and revolutionary
chool oppose Fremont, because Buchanan
will better answer their purpose Of
continued and more embittered disuuion agita-
ton. The liberal and enlightened spirit Of the
age not only in the United States, but throughout
all Europe and the civilized world, is in favor of
Fremont No Presidential candidate Of ours since
the time of Jackson has had higher European
mont. Swans and statesmen, courtly politicians
and republican reformers recognize in Fremont
the conservator Of peace, the champion Of liberal
principles and Of progress, the guardian Of COM
merce the advocate of good faith at home anl
abroad and the promoter of the arts and sciences
which are the browning glory Of this enlightened
age.
On the other hand, the flibusters of the Gin.
cinnati Convention have sunk Mr.. Buchanan in a
party platform which is the essence Of inter-
nal discord and external disturbances. 1t i
agitation at home and filibustering abroad, from
the beginning to the ending. Mr. Buchanan's
election will only serve to give new lease to the
Pierce and Forney spoilsmen-to rekndlc the
slavery agitation with new excitements, and to
unsettle all our commercial relations and imam
cial and business affairs in flibustering forays.
Now is the time, therefore, for our solid men, our
conservative commercial and business men, with
whom peace, law, order and prosperity are para
mount-now is the time for them to act to some
purpose. OF the three candidates in the field, the
only conservative national constitutional and
practically available candidate for wholesome
change at Washington, il Fremont.
Finally, we say that these newspaper and cleo
ton tables indicate the existence of the necessary
materials for decisive defeat Of the spoils and
secession democracy. They also indicate popa-
lar movement aioot, which, even with Fremont's
defeat will still go on, till the general and sweep
ing revolution involved shall have been fully ac-
compIished But the materials are at hand.
Why not finish the work in November The
idea, al first, ofthe Fremont movement, was the
organization Of new party for future operations;
but the weakness of Buchanan clearly indicates
that Fremont is already strong enough for the
decisive battle. Let his friends actively organize,
look about them, clear away the rubbish, and pull
together, and the work is done.
