What We6ster. Calhoun Ond others thought of
Fremont.
81 have acquaintance With the Colonel, and
am so favOrably impressed as to him, that
would as readily trust him as any other indi-
Vidual. His integrity is beyond suspicion
Calhoun.
Colonel Fremont Is young officer Of
great merit--One who deserves wen Of his
country for the bravery and ability with which
he discharged his important and deIicats duties
in California "--DGnia Webster.
"COl. Fremont exhibited a combination Of
energy, prOmptitude, sagaeity and prudence,
~hich indicates the highest capacity for civil
and military command. That the country will
do justice TO his valuable and distinguished
services, entertain not the slightest dopbt."

"COl. Fremont. in my opinion, is the most
meritOriOus American Of his age now in exis-
tenee," Senator allen, of Ohio.
81 regard Col. FrsmOn, as one Of the most
heroic and successful officers in our army--an
army Of which any nation might be prOud."--

HOE. J. @. FRENoET-The history Of this
young man is highly interesting.
His travels, researches, scientific explora-
tons and feats Of ValOr. and suffering in the far
west, are events known to the world, and we
nay say without parallel.
His collision with Kesrney in California
brought him before the country in a new light
He was accused Of disObeying the command of
his superior and technically was 80 convicted
on trial by the Court Mar:ial demanded By
himself. But the country acquitted him, and
although reprimanded by the President, was
applauded by the people. We were at bis
trial in Washington, and saw him confront the
Witnesses of the government in the most frank
and gallant style.-J ", Grey. IN Plain Dealer.
IhaVe read The history of bis tFIemont'sl
life. and believe him to be q man as much
marked out by Providence for the pr resent ex.
igency Of our nation as Washington was for
that Of the American Revolution, He comes
from whence great men usually come FROM
the mass Of the people. Nursed in difficulties,
practicsd in surmounting them, wise in coun.
Gil. full Of resource; selfpossessed in danger;
fearless and foremost in every useful enter-
prise; unexceptionable in morals; with sll in
telIect cultivated by nature, and cultivated in
lahorious fields Of duty--I trust be is destined
to save this Union from dissolution; to restore
the constitution to its original purity; and to
relieve that instrument which Washington de-
signed for the preservation aad enlargement
Of Freedom, from being any longer perverted
to the multiplication Of Slave States, and the
