ANOTHER EXpL AVIATION OF THE FIRE
MONT NOMINATION.

MONT NOMINATION..
No satisfactory explanation of the strange
nomination for President 10y the late Phila-
delphia convention has yet been given, un-
less one can be drawn from certain very
significant suggestions contained in late
number of the New York Day Book. Ac
cording TO these suggestions, the almighty
dollar" has entered into partnership with
abolitionism for the double purpose OF reap
ing and dividing the profits Of stupendous
gOld-and speculation in California, and Of
placing the federal Union under the guar
dianship ard protection of the champions of
black republicansm 1t would seem to be
kind of jont-stock company, in which the
capital consists in "A large number OF land
claims (that of Mariposa includeD in the
State of Cliforna, and q large amount of
abolition philanthropy and fanaticism, and
the profits to depend upon carrying the
presidential election. The idea would seem
to have been borrowed from the Emigrant
Aid Corporation chartered by Massachusetts,
in which fortunes we're to 5e realized from
the rich lands of Kansas upon the success of
the project of abolitionizing the Territory.
The Mariposa scheme is to make millionaires
of the stock holders as the consequence of
abolitionizing the federal government. If
this suggestion Of the Day Book be well
founded, we can readily comprehend the
process by which FremOnts nomination was
effected. 1t clears up the mystery which
surrounds several sudden tergiversatlons
which have heretofore batfled all attempts
at explanation. But our object is to call
attention to the suggestions of the Day Book,
and to await further developments:
"FREMoNT AND HIS BACKKRs.-Our mo-
ney article of Thursday last tended to dis
close the most stupendous California land
iobbing scheme ever known in the history of
the country, at the head Of which stand, in
partnership, Palmer, Cook & Co., and Col
John Charles Fremont. How many leading
men and presses they have induced to take
interests and issues in their schemes is un-
known. They suppose that by securing
Colonel Fremonts election as President,
their eighty odd claims, Mariposa included,
will net them $50,000,000, and make them
all millionaires We make no charges, and
call no names But if we could carry tho
case into court, as public prosecutor, We
should call to the stand several prominent
politicians from their public duties at Wash
ington, and interrogate them as to their
completely in this stupendous speculation.
We should call to the stand the Tribune. OF
New York, and ask its editor whether he or
any of his associates are interested III the
MGrposa land grant, or other claims of the
said company, and demand an answer-yes
or no. We should call to the stand the Cou-
rier s. Enquirer, and ask the same questions
of its editor, and demand an answer-yes or
no We should call to the stand other men,
vnd other editors, and put the same ques-
ton to one and all, and demand them to
swear an oath yes or no, so help them God
-guiitp or not guilty
1--WE hope some measures will be taken at
Washington to institute searching investi-
CATION into the doings of this powerful COM
binaton of land -jobbers. who, if they sue
ceed in making good their claims, will come
into possession of large share of the whole
State of California, gold and all -
