THE MUSTANG A FAST HORSE

OAoAs
The New York Herald says i, has
witnessed nineP Presidential elections since
30. and does not remember one in which
q candidate has made such wonderful
progress a. Col Fremon, has done within
the past six or seven weeks. General
Jackson was eight years a candidate be-
fore he was elected. Gen. Harrison was
also eight year. before the public, and
was defeated on the IRIS: trial. Gen.
Taylor was nearly four years conspi-
cuously before the people before he seized
of the public mind. No candidate. no
man ever made ssch progress in go brief
a period, as Col. John G.. Fremonn,
has done Arguing from the. pa.t,.here
is hardly anything witch we may not
expect Of him for the future. According
to present appearances. he will sweep
every Northern and Western State BY
an unprecedented majority. and will poll
q vote in the South that will astonish
the southern politicians.
