IMMENSE FREMONT CONVENTION
GREAT ENTHUSIASM.

From the Pittsburgh, Daily Gazette, Sept. le.
Yesterday was great day, for Pitts
burgh. It witnessed one of those re-
markable displays which can only occur
in free country, where the people se-i
lect their own rulers, and give expression
to- their viii in the management of the
Government LT9'1il aqH3a3b si8in93f
) Yesterday was the day appointed for
the Mass Convention Of the, friends Of
Fremont in this and the adjoining coun-
ties, and it is but faint expression of
the reality to say that it was successful
even beyond the most sanguine anticipa-
tions Of the warmest friends of the cause

enthusiasm, of the magnificent process

speeches. Our reporters will do their
best to give our readers some faint con-
ception of the wonderful scene, but after
all they can say not one halfwill beltold.
EIt would take advolume to describe the
wonderful procession alone, with all its
uumberless banners and notices, its
quaint devices, its rich jokes, its amusing
caricatures, and its keen sarcasms. $

spect to its numbers, its enthusiasm, or
its brilliant display. so 20I .nozrs59q q
