We commend the following, from the Fitch
burg ReUielle, to the attention ofour readers
" Who is irresponsible fer the want of union
among the Fremont men: We answer with
out hesitation, Gov. Gardner and his friends.
1t is they, who, within a week after Col,
Fremont's nomination, called a convention To
forestall the action Of the Republicans. 1t is
they who, on the LIST of July, nominated an
Electoral Ticket hostile to Fremont, ticket
which public sentiment has already compelled
them, in considerable degree, to abandon
1t is they who tried to nominate q Governor
at the same Convention. 1t is they, who.
failing in this, called another convention three
weeks after, and against the wishes of more
than hundred delegates, and after a split in
nearly two equal parts, forced the nomination
of an entire State ticket. 1t is they, who
loudly proclaimed both at Springfield and at
Boston, that the Republicans were their worst
enemies and they would have nothing to do
with Them 1t is they, who have tried to
prevent the Fremont and Johnston electors
from Withdrawing, and thus paving the way
for union. 1t is they who have by such meth
DDS as these, forestalled the action of the Re-
pubhcans, and steadily resisted all attempts
at union, except on their own terms And
what are these terms Why, that Gov,
Gardner and their ticket shall receive the Re-
publican votes. Upon what is this claim found
eds What gives this party right to dictate
in this fashion? Superiority of numbers
No. The abjectness of the begging for Re-
publican votes. .shows that the party is power.
less without the Republican aid. Of the 81,
900 men who voted for Gov. Gardner from if
teen to twenty thousand have gone off to Fill
more, and win support the Fillmore candi-
date. Five to ten thousand more are Fire.
moRt and anti Gardner men, and are prepar-
! ing to cooperate with the convention of the
10th. These facts, we are aware, are no argu-
ments against supporting Gov Gardner, but
they are conclusive against the threats which
| are made by his friends that il he is not sup.
ported they will defeat Fremont and make a
| general smash of Fremont candidates for Con.
gress and the Legislature.
The Boston Bee has the impudence to read
the Republicans a Lesson as to their duties
1t says that they ought to seek to make theii
party strong and permanent, and therefore
should take up Gov. Gardner and his friends
| and incorporate them into themselves But
what sort Of an Incorporation would this be
| Gov. Gardner, in accepting the nomination o.
his party, and in declaring his intention tc
support Fremont, expressly says that he does
so as a means of promoting what lhe styes the
| American party. And he undertakes to
commit Col. Fremont to the dogmas of that
| party. Nominating him, would be singular
way of strengthening the Republican party.
| 1t would not be a month after the election,
| (judgngsfrom former acts,) before the Gov
ernor would declare at the Parker House OF
somewhere, that his election was the triumph
of Natiyism, and he would very likely, again
insult the Republicans, by declaring that he
did not ask their support and could have
done better without them
