MY DEAR SIR: learned from you incidentally dur
irg our conversation yesterday that in the event of
the qualifying of its Philadelphia Delegates for the
Presidential nomination by the Syracuse Convention
Tomorrow you should strenuously urge the presena-
ton Of COL Fremont as its first choice propding his
"foundness" as an Anti Slavery man could be duly
shown.
am totally ignorant of what the political friends
of Col. F. propose to offer in support of his eligibility
for this position cit the Convention elsewhere
or what species or amount of affirmation will be
Necessary to prove him to be fit leader for the Re
publican party in the approaching campaign. But a.
an old conpanon-in-arm of Fremont and steady ana
consistent friend of his ever since $780, cannot et tue
the occasion 90 without the use OF ireni ncehse'
both for the Colonel though without his knowledge
and lcth yourself.
or those sterling qualities which especially commend
him to the nation the Man for the Cllsls-hls genus
and acourements his high moral integrity, iron hrm'
ness and resoute will do not propose now to speak
These with bis whole life thus far belong to the history
of the country and cannot be misconcelved or over,
looked by State section party Ony OF his poilica
ASSOCIATIONS and predictions will 1t be necessary for
me to speak and of these only as know them
From the period of his appointment by Conn., Stockton
as first Governor of California to the present Tune, ana
Though nearly all the vcisitudes OF his distinguished
career have been personal witness to the TACT OF
his thorough and seadfast fidelity to Free principles
The Convention which framed the state CONSTITUTION
for California resolved at its close into something IKE
n caucus and nominating convention fo lne ei1cions
which were to follow. The enactment OF the slavery
prohibition clause i'll that instrument, IL was nn1eT
stood had been done with the advice OF Coi
Fremont and with unanimity equal ng that win
which "inyountary servtude' had been rejected
The choice of the delegates for our fins. L. 3 senator
was John C.. Fremont. And when the hrst STATE
Legislature assembled six weeks after, that cnoIe'
from among number of candidates ehleny ir9ui ,ne
Sonth was ratified by his election on the hrs oalio
He was the colleague that Winter in Congress OF our
amented friend my associate, Edward Gilbert OF me
Ala California whose devotion to his party you wen
know, and it is one of my cearest recoLectons OF
their conjunction in this sphere that they were active
sympatbzCrs in tie Anti slavery spirit whcn nueeu
majority of our Congressional delegation at that tune
represented In the Winter of ls5O-5l when MI fre-
mont WAS presented for reelection ohe United states
Senate he was defeated as | have every reason 10
believe by the southern Democratic interest, ~hicn
then bt gan to look to division OF the state acre
was of COURSE sectional issue avowed oy
any more than there at this time IN this country pat

elections then and since of Southern Representatives
TO Congress from State, show something more than
mere "accident Of birth and casual coincidence oil
principle.
