These are but few Of the opinions which might be
given Of the merits Of Col. Fremont coming from the
very highest Democratic sources. In al debates,
both in the Senate and House of Representatives,
there has never been word of doubt expressed in
regard to his personal integrty-nd in the dis.
cussOD Of bis claims against the Government. The
reports Of the Democratic Committees, ike those Of
which Mr.. German and Dir. Or were respectively at
The head always contained words of the most cordial
compliment, and those reports were always indorsed
by Congress. Col. Fremont was then a Democrat;
aid it is enough to prove that this was not party
praise TO ray that Daniel Webster and Mr.. Crttenden
were just decided in their approval the other
members Of the Senate. Men from every quarter Of
the ULi0n and from both parties WED with each other
in their prase of Col. Fremont. There is not the
slightest doubt that these the honest opinions of
tho leading Democrats of the United Ststes now,
well when they were uttered; and We challenge the
Democratic Pres to produce, in favor Of their own
candidate from the records of Congress and the records
of the Press of their party, testimonials 30 cor
dial, so unqualified honorable in every respect as
those by which they have indorsed the man to which
rarf ynl now them
Islander against Fremont without throwing a lie Ill the
teeth of the beet men in their party.
