1t is an encouraging fact that the adyersaries OF
Fremont virtually admit their inability to defeat
Linn unless they shall be able to blast his reputation
as man. Though no personal war is made on
their respective candidates, they realize in-
stinctyely that they must change the opinion which
the American People have hitherto entertained of
COL Fremonts character and services, or they must
get out of his way and let him hang up his hat in
the White House. Accordingly, they assail him
on every point with untirng msleyOlence-not, we
trust, that they delight in such mode Of warfare,
but because they have no hope in any other. Ac-
cordingy, we find in Saturdays proceedings in the
Senate the following
M Beer Dem of Pa omitted resolution, which lies
over calling the President for copies of the vouchers
which M FIemonts officer Of the Government,
bis first expedition TO Calorns settled 80 that the
Of the disbursements nquring whether
there any public money In his hands unsccouatci for
whether there any paper. file in the Departments
from official sources charging him with Inasssance in office,
&c.
Mr.. Bgler is the new Senator from california,
and the confidential friend and partisan Of Mr.. Bu-
chsnan. To ali intents and purposes this is move
of Mr.. Buchanan to impeach the personal honor of
bis only real competitor for the Presidency. 1t has
not. of course, been made without consultation
and study ard we apprehend that the game is to
put in Report ct the close OF the Session too late
to be scrutiuized aid answered by the Republicans
i'll Congress but not too late to be spread the
country by the Fillmore and Buchanan presses and
speakers prior to the election. And, as the ac-
counts are all in the hands of COL Fremonts bitter
enemies, it would BE- strange il they could not
cook up Report that would, unexplained aud un-
answered, be calculated to prejudice HIM with the
undiscerning.
Go ahead, gentlemen You have had all these
accounts in your hands 'or years; AMI if there be
anything wrong in them, you should long since have
exposed and reprobated it. 1t only last session
that a strongly Democratic Congress, by a vote
nearly OF quite unanimous in both Houses, admit
ted that the Government honestly owed Col. Ere
mont large sum for advances made and debts r
CURED by him for the public service in California
several years ago. Thst money was accordingly
paid over 70 him. II it was no! his just due, the
COMMITTEES that scrutinized the accounts and
ported in his favor were most culpable; if there
was "any public money in his hands un1ccountet
for" that money should have been deducted by the
him by Congress. If there we're any "charges of
" mafeassnce in Office" then pending, they should
have been brought to the knowledge of Congress,
and duly considered by it in making its award in
his behalf.
But nobody can honestly doubt that this is po-
liical game Nobody believes tina. Mr. Bgler
would have made this motion il Col. Fremont were
not now a candidate for the Presidency; nay, he
would not have made it if Pierce or Douglas in
stead of Buchanan had been nominated at Cincin-
natl We bid him welcome to all the capital he
will make out of it, and only regret that be did not
make it in season to be fully scrutnized by Col Free
mont's friends in Congress prior to the adjourn
ment. Documents may be sent in which render
ether documents essential to their due explanation.
Let all the facts come cut
