"And now, | must tell you # my visi-
ting Col. Fremont and Jessie. T Is
one Of ,he Nationa, Republican Commit
tee, aud is daily in intercourse with Ere
mont, attending to the muliitarlous affairs
connected with the management of such a
campaign. As soon as | reached here,
T wished me to decypher German
campaign song, which had been sent over
to him from Germany, and designed for
that population in this country. After
wards, as he had to call on the Col, he
asked me to 90 along, which | was glad
to do. On reaching their house in 9th
St, found that the family had been dri.
ven back in haste that morning, (by the
alarming proximity of yellow fever from
their house on Staten Island to the city.
OF course, the house was in confusion /;
trunks and other luggage lying tumbled
about the Hall, besides which, he has been
keeping bachelors hall here, during the
day time, for several weeks. We could not
naturally have expected to see Mrs. Ere
mont in such circumstances, her predIca-
ment being something like that Of one Of
our ladies on a washing day; but while
we were waiting for him in his sanctum,
examining the swords, medals, &c which
he has received from various quarters,
(there is one sword with silver hilt and
gold scabbard, from the city of Charleston,
and highly ought belt from the ladies
there, she cama through the hall, giving
directions about the trunks, and perceiviug
T, with whom she is well acquainted,
she came in and sat down. As her hus-
band was detained some time by callers in
the parlor, and she remained through our
interview with him, | had very favorable
opportunity to observe the lady, of whom
/ formed a good opinion. But | must
reserve details until see you. The Colo
mel himself is the farthest possible from
such an appearing man as you would ex-
pect, from what he has done and suffered
slight in stature, rathcr-very modest,
and the least bit shy in manner, yet per-
fectly selfpossessed, and giving. you the
impression, after conversation with him, of
that quiet decision which has characterized
bis whole course He conversed freely,
and in business way, without any warmth
except when speaking for moment of the
principles at stake, and stated that he tho't
there was little ground for anxiety, as to
the result of the canvass, provided only it
went well in our State. The whole ap-
pearance of the man, and his conversation,
left me without the shadow of Doubt that
he is a MAN, worthy to be coupled with
the fresh, free, youthful principles, which
he represents"
WELcH.-The Welch, or real Britous,
have in their rude for,rcsses maintained
some Republican forms of government and
pure Christianity amid all the darkness
and corruptions of eighteen hundred years.
Roger Williams and other Welchmen did
early transplant those principles into Anne
rican soil. Thomas Jefferson, the author
of the Declaration of Independence, was of
Welch descent, as were l6 others of the
sIgners of that Instrument, and ii of the
Generals of the Revolutionary War. In
The present contest, they are wide awake,
and will swell the vote for Freedom.
