such transactions reflect upon the leaders of this backre

The New York Evening Post says there some black

for Fremont for fear such old foge Seward and Sum-
ner might exert too much influence his admnisra-
ton. Listen to the following:
This feeling, which is not unnatural arises many
from apprehension that who advocate Fremont
election entertain objectionable political VIEWS which, the h
not chargeabe Fremont himself included in the plat
form which he nominated might, it is feared, affect
the action receive the sanction Of his administration Mr.
Seward for example, might wish the ascendency OF
his undemocratc financial heresies Mr. Sumner might in
sist unconditional repeal of the ugtvesave law
test of party orthodoxy"
See how the Post gives the cut direct to Seward and
Sumner. II proceeds:
GAS matter OF fact however, these prominent leaders in
the old parties whose opinions considered dtasefu
and who support Fremont had nothing do with his
overrued by the irresistible voice OF the people, to which
alone he will be under obligations to defer. The ultraists
and the old ogs whose peculiar herese have render
