On the lst Of October the London Times had been chi
ded by of its correspondents from the United States
for the boldness with which it had announced and
uted the prospects Of dsunion indicated by the
nomination of Fremont In its issue of that day,
mentng the importance of the election in Pennsylya-
mia, the Times spoke as follows

Some letters have appeared in columns lately to the
effect that have been mistaken in suppoSng that the

forthcoming presidential election oR tell the same"
Mark the concluding sentence, and see how well the
London Times understood the puport and bearing Of
"he facts Of the last American House Of Representatives
and how confidently its editor rejected the information of
his correspondents he judged the republican leaders by

Herald and Times and Post, well that of Banks and
Blair. But the editor Of the Times content to
await in London the result Of the great struggle He de
termined to be present and witness the triumph Of the
party which tell "a different story We hope he
will wness the great struggle and learn from the result
how vain his hopes
