Of the western counties, the accessions from the

opinion that Iowa viii give Fremont larger

This man, who early distinguished himself by

county in his saddle-bags, has been delivering
himself to the good people of Western Iowa,
during the past week or two. So far as we have
heard, his speeches will do neither his party nor
his brother "Gustus" any good. Certainly, so
far as this vicinity is concerned, he made more
Republicans than any other man who has been
among us. His speeches are of character to
disgust all sensible men, and are made up in
about equal proportion Of falsehoods and intimi-
| dation He was loud in his proclamation that

of the administration in Kansas, and argued that

THE FULMER CHARGE AGAINST Col. FREMONT.
The Express for the last week or two has been
making great ado over story of Alderman
Fulmer's, that i'll the early part of 1852, he had
heard Colonel Fremont avow himself Roman
Catholic, in Washington. Our contemporary, who
seems to have great respect for Alderman,
would brook no denial of Alderman Fulmer's in
fallabiity, but some unknown hand, in the
Herald, has put coal to it that has blown it sky
high. He shows, by the files of the Express it
self, that, at the time specifed-the last part o.
