Fremont and Exnow-Notningism
If the slightest doubt has existed with regard 10
Frenlont's completely with know no,hingism. that
doubt is dispeled. The know nothing convention
which assembled al New York and nominated Banks
and Johnston, and then djoumed over await the
action of the black republicans at Philade pha:
sembed, and Banks having declined, nominated Ere
mont Of the event, the New York Herald says:
" The sudden change which has taken place in the
sentiments of the convention in regard to Mr.. Ere
mont is attributable to the fact that that gentleman
was waited on by delegation from this party with
whom be had long and earnest Capitalization,
tending into the small hours of the morning that he
then and there declared Himself unreservedly in fay
or of the principles OF the know nothing party, and
would give them his entire and cor.iia adherence;
and that he was perfectly convinced that if he did
not receive the support OF the American party
Throughout the United States, he had not the Sigh
test prospect of being elected"
1t will be recollected that the ballotings which
resulted III the nomination of Banks exhibited the
fact that Fremont was the second choice of the know
nothing convention. Doubtless had the members
been as well assured of his sympathy with an Adhesion
to ow-nothngism in the outset they were at The
interview mentioned by the Herald, he would have
been its first choice
Thus, the anal gamation between northern know
nothingism and black repubcensm is thorough and
complete, so far as presidential canddated is con-
cerned The split the vice presidency is but tenn
poary affair The know-nohings decided to adhere TO
Johnston, but he will be withdrawn at the moment
the movement shall be deemed most conclusive to the
interests of the common opposition.
The spirit by which the know nothing convention
was animated in ratify ing the nomination of Fremont
may be gathered from the speeches of the members,
as reporte by the New York papers. Mr.. Mott, of
New York, said

nomintion before the people such candidates the
American party could support. They had nomlna-

could have rallied the North so to have carried
him into the presidential chair if he had received the
nomination at Philadelphia. [Applause.] But he
had failed to receive the endorsement of the republ
can party. Who was then the next choice of the
convention Col. Fremont, he considered, was their
next choice. lApplause.l They lost moi hing in prin-

would have nominated Col. Fremont. [AppaIuse."
Ex-Leutenant Governor Ford, of Ohio, who sought
to give the presidential election the complexion Of a

Mr.. Perkins, OF Connecticut it appears to US, was
not very discreet. He undertook to make it out that
the republicans had nominated man for President
who does not belong TO the republican party. Said
he:
Mr., Fremont belongs TO no party. He is not 4
member OF the republican party. He is not TECH.

their fear of this party being swallowed up by the
republicans. No, no. For his part, he was ready

This is enough. We need not quote further to es-
tablish the fact that Fremont, at the interview men
toned by the Herald, committed himself to the know
nothlngs to their entire satisfaction. He is, beyond
all question: pledged their proscriptive purposes
