PoLIT1cAL Fossil RENANs.-One Of the most
amusing features Of the present revolutionary era
is the resurrection Of old party hacks who turn
up from time to time and declare themselves in
favor OF other hacks From Maryland alone we
have the Hon. Reverdy johnson, Senator Pratt
and Senator Pearce, all of whom are out with
long arguments in favor Of Buchanan. These
gentlemen are fossil remains Of the old wing
party, and thorough old women in brooches
They have none Of the youth the enthusiasm, the
spirit which marks this age They are strangers

movement which is carrying Fremont forward

bachelor who tossed bis shins in Pennsylvania.

Fremont has more than double the number OF
newspapers with three times the circulation Of
the Buchanan journals in Mr.. Buchanan's State
In Illinois, Fremont counts rs papers with a cir
culation Of G6,6l6, against Buchanan "a, with a
circulation Of IS $780, and Mr.. Fillmore 2, with
$50 subscribers each.
All the other States of the North are usually
given to Fremont. II is taken for granted that
he will carry them The three States whose sta
tistics are given above are the only ones which
the friends Of Buchanan or Fillmore have consi-
dered doubtful. II in the the course Of the six
weeks which have elapsed since the nomination Of
Col. Fremont he has already contrived so far as
this to outstrip his competitors, and to have at
tanned such position in the newspaper press, it
Is plain he must possess a popularity Of such vast
magnitude and growing extent that he will easily
outstrip them all three months to come.
We have witnessed nine Presidential elections
since ls20, and we do not remember one in which
made such wonderful progress as Col Fremont
has done within the past six or seven weeks.
General jackson was eight years candidate be-
fore he was elected. General Harrison was also
eight years before the public, and was defeated on
the first trial. General Taylor was nearly four
years conspicuously before the people before he
seized hold Of the public mind No candidate, no
man ever made such progress in 50 brief aperiod,
as Col John G. Fremont has done: arguing from
the past, there is hardly anything which we may
not expect Of him for the future. According to
present appearances, he win sweep every North
ern and Western State, by an unprecedented
majority and will poll vote in the South that
will as,onish the Southern politicians.
