FOR PRESIDENT,
COL. JOHN q. FREMONT, of California.
FOR VICE. PRESIDENT,
NATHANIEL p. BANKS, of Massachusetts, !"
On the 9th of May. Edward c. Kemble,
who was an editor of the Alta Californian
during the the times of which he. writes, writes
to DR.. Morse, delegate to the Syracuse Conven-
ton, us follows:
New YORK, Tuesday, May q, 1856.
Ny dear Sir : learned from you incidental
ly during our conversation yesterday, that in
the event of the qualifying of its Philadelphia
Delegates for the Presidential nomination by
the Syracuse Convention to morrow, you should
strongly urge the presentation of Col. Fremont
as its first choice, prOUid.ng his soundness .
as an Anti-Slavery man could be duly shown.
| am totally ignorant of What the political
friends of Col. Fremont propose to offer in sup
port of his eligibility for this position, either at
| the Convention or elsewhere, or what species or
amount of affirmation will be necessary to prove

in the approaching campaign But rs an old
companion in-arms of Fremont, and Il steady
and consistent friend of his ever since 1916,
connot let the occasion go without the use Of II
friends license, both for the Colonel Though
without his knowledge) and with yourself.
Of those sterling qualities which especially
commend him to the nation as the Man for the
Crisis--his genius and requirements, his high
moral integrity, iron frmness and resoute will
Il do not propose now to speak. These, with
his whole life thus far, belong to the history of
the country, and cannot be msconceived or over
looked by state, section or party. Only Of his
political associations and predictions will it be
necessary for me to speak, and Of these only as
| know them.
From the period OF his appointment by Com
m0d0re Stockton as frs Governor of California
to the present time, and through nearly all the
vicissitudes Of his Distinguished career, have
been IL personal witness to the lact of bis
thorough and steadI,.st fidelity to free princi-
pies The Convention which framed the State
Constitution for California, resolved at its close
into something like Il caucus and nomin lting
convention for the elections which were to fol-
low. The enactmentof the Slavery prohibition
clause in that instrument, it was understood,
had been done with the advice Of Colonel Ere
mont, and with unanimity equalling that
with which " involuntary sergitude " had been
rejected.
The choice Of the delegates for our first Uni
ted States Senator was John G. Fremont. And

weeks after, that caoce, from among NUMBER
