From the Philadelphia North American
NEWSPAPER RESPONSES.

The New 1Ork 1TtOupe ana DG1ty Tunes,
of course, heartily sustain the nomination of
Col. Fremont. The Courier and Enquirer of
the same city accepts it also "as one under
which the great battle for the common good can
best be fought with the surest prospect of sue
cess" and it calls upon all good and true Re-
publicans to rally around the standard. The
Herald, in view of the preliminary deelinaton
of all the Presidential candidates except Ere.
mont, says that never before, in any party Pres
idential Convention, has the great idea of every
thing for the cause, and nothing for men, been
so arikingly illustrated. The Herald consid-
ers the nomination of Fremont as but natural
yielding to a general popular demand. Several
editors of German newspapers were members
of the Convention, and their journals will no
doubt support the ticket. 1t was announced in
the Convention yesterday, that one German
paper in Philadelphia had already hoisted Ere
mont at the head of its columns.
The Newark Daily Advertiser, the leading
paper of New Jersey, reioices to announce the
nomination of Fremont, saying he was the Sec
ond choice of everybody, and the first choice
of large majority. The Adpertiser adds:
|" A ticket with Fremont's name at the head,
reinforced by New Jerseys distinguished son,
William l.. Dayton, must prevail over all that
can be brought against it. And what will be
opposed to it? Fillmore? This name will prob
ably be withdrawn when that gentleman comes
near enough to survey the field. Distance has
probably lent enchantment to the view. When
he comes home, his optics, naturally clear, may
be disenthralled.
"Can Buchanan, Breckenridge, and Slavery,
hope to maintain a successful war against Ere
mont and Liberty-Gberty of speech and terri
tory? 1t would seem to be impossible; we are
sure it would be undesirable for our country's
sake, and that of humanity at large The cause
is Fremont and Dayton against Buchanan and
ckinridge-Fremont, young, full of useful
enterprise, generous and daring, of large nat
ural genius for dministration-against the
calculating politician, always hunting for per.
sonal advancement, changing sides to obtain
ia compound of the selfish intriguer warm
flibuster and cold patriot, crystalized into that
antiquity known as James Buchanan of the
Cincinnati platform, no longer a person, any
more than is a Carolina negro, but a slave
a plank"
The New York Ecening Post says that the
nomination is received, for the most part, not
only with satisfaction, but enthusiasm. Though
many would have preferred to see one of our
able statesmen selected as the candidate, popu-
lar opinion in New England, New York, and
the West, seemed to call with one voice for-the
nomination of Fremont. If the Convention had
failed to nominate him, the members would have
failed to carry into effect the wishes of their
constituents, and the Post thinks that the Con.
vention acted wisely and Justly. 1t adds
. The secret of that popularity, which, rising
so rapidly, has borne Col. Fremont into the post
of standard-bearer for his party, is undoubtedly
this-that the people think they see in him those
qualities which fit him for the occasion. The
times require in the Chief Magistrate of the Ma
ton an mistaken courage, perfect steadiness of
purpose, and a ready command of resources.
The times require a man who has something of
the heroic in his character; and it is because
the people, from what they know of Col FIRE.
mont's conduct in perious enterprises, infer that
he is thus qualified, that the spontaneous and
general call for his nomination throughout the
free States has arisen"
The Boston Atlas says that, in the selection
Of Fremont, the Republican Convention has
recognised the wishes of the people-that the
nomination will be hailed with enthusiasm every
where, by all the friends of Freedom and good
government. 1t says, further:
"Upon the great question of the day, Col.
Fremont occupies manly and honorable po-
sition. While his antagonist has been trimming
and trucking, and shaping his speeches to please
the Southern party, Col. Fremont, himself of
Southern birth and education, has spoken with
refreshing vigor and courage for the right. The
people will not, in this emergency, forget such
man. He will be borne triumphantly to the
White House-he will be the next President of
the United States"
