iohn Charles Fremont.

The extraordinary qualities Of Col. Fremont,
..rs ,he Conn. Press, have begotten for him
e.. confidence and respect of all with whom he
~. over been in contact. Statement professors,
.,.,;rcers. and especially sthe hardy and pro-
sressiye population of The West, have all been
slike admirers of his genius and his character
Successive administrations of every party have
bestowed upon him their regard, and rendered
voluntary commentator for his inyaluble labors
lin him were recognized marked traits which
ssQacious men foresaw were to make him, at no
distant period, one of the foremost men of his
country and the age Bold, fearless, resolute,
having within himself those resources which en-
abled him under any and every emergency to
overcome obstacles that to ordinary minds
vould he insurmountable, he would in any
subere or calling have ever been the first in any
service and have been the chosen and fayorte
leader N, any enterprise Cool, selfreliant and
espcrget;c. his companions and associates always
.reposcd with implicit confidence in his sagacity
and Judgment and the government in all cases
has found him safe and valuable adviser
His path has not been in the field Of partizan
politics. but no man has more faithfully studied
The great fundamental principles Of govern
mcnt.
II is not surprising, therefore, that in the
present condition Of affairs, 60 large portion
Of the people, tired and digusted with old par
ty intrigues and aspirants, should have turned
their attention to this remarkable man, as one
well calculated to rescue and restore the govern
ment to its primitive objects In him arc CEN
tered many of the nollest qualities that distin-
guished the men of Revolutionary fame, and
had he lived in that day he would have been
esteemed among the noblest in war and the
wisest in council Such a man is demanded at
this crisis in our affairs, and if we mistake not,
the best elements of the country will make him
their candidate. IF such be the fact and he is
nominated, as we trust he will be, we have con-
fdence not only that he will be elected, but
that his administration will be one Of the most
fortunate and benefcent the country has ever
experienced He will rid us of that baleful and
nullifying sectionaIism that for the last fifteen
years has been taking deep root in Washing
ton, and extending from one abuse to another,
has eventuated in the present deplorabIe condi-
ton that threatens the existence Of the govern
mcnt.
Great and trying events bring out great and
master minds Such was the fact when after
long succession of Washington intrigues the
people gathered in their strength, and swept
away the whole central politicians, and brought
forward ASpREw JACKSON = denounced and
dreaded as backwoodman, but who proved
himself worthy of the selection made by the
people In Fremont we distinguish the encr-
getic and noble qualities Of the gIorions old
hero OF Chalmette, one whom the occasion calls
for, and who is worthy of the occasion. We
trust to see him nominated as the peoples can
didate With him We shall obtain constitu-
tional triumph, political victory, such as the
country has seldom witnessed.
