The National Era ON Fremont.

The National Era ON Fremont.
The National Era contains the following touch
ing Fremont his principles, and his political chan
ces:
Fremont Is young man; successful eIplo-
rer unfamiliar with politics without experience
as statesman without antecedents or records of
any declared opinions on the great question which
agitates the country" tg
The Era adds" this is kind of discussion we
dislike, and therefore cut it short with the remark,
that had political managers and the anti Nebraska
dailies of New York and Boston been as indus
trious in intoxicating that duty of bold, COM
prehensive scheme of policy against the slave in
terest, and the necessity Of selecting Presidential
candidate from the ranks oil eminent, well-tried
statesmen, who have been SCARED in the service of
freedom, as they have been in hunting up and
magnifying unknown and untried men, it would
not now be accepted as an axiom, that the more
signal mans services to liberty, and the greater
his experience and capacity, the less his fitness as
Presidential candidate of freemen"

Europe and have stood with the banner of Free
dom at the barbados where the balls of despotc
soldiery were ying thick az hail We have ALWAYS
struck for the freedom Of the people, and we have
always been friend of true "Democracyn but
we have found that the same " Democracy az
applied in this country to the party claiming that

You, the managers of that party, drive or lead
the Germans to the polls like cattle, and, when
they have voted, you treat them with contempt
III there is any benefit to be bestowed 1t ia given
to the Catholic Irish, who govern you and whom
you are afraid Of The election is approaching
Heretofore you have had the Germans in body,
but you will have them so no longer. The bigoted
Catholic portion may adhere to you, but the Pro.
testant and reethinkng Germans are with you no
longer; neither here in Baltimore, nor elsewhere.
The Northern and Western German papers, nearly
| all of them, have left the so-ealled Democratic
party. We have NOT much money, but we have
many friends, and, as far as our energies and infu
ence 60, we are determined, IL possible, to insure
the defeat Of the falsely so-csed Democratic party
in the coming contest
