lookout "breakes ahead" to the dubious manage

commander? You would not do 30 regarding your
priyate interests Patriotism says you should not
do 80 regarding your country's interests.
PRAY, what has John G. Fremont done for mate
rial progress or representative Of the age in
which we live" beyond his mere adventures in ex
ploripg the Rocky Mountains? And are there not
scores Of engineers in our army and out of it, who
could and would conduct an exploring expedition as
successfully az he He was sent by the government
he the he hs
petitions reported their progrese and results. He
! cambered our high mountains, carving crosses in
the rocks, and struggled through deep passes, de-
voutly repeating his m0sses, doubtless; but Kit
Carson or Bill Williams was his guides and told him
| where to 90. What line of national policy has he
suggested indicative of initiative wisdom and fore
sight as q statesman?for nothing is practicable OF
his experience az slch Surely IL cannot be his opeu
| diplomatic policy, for the wisdom Of that becomes
| questionable when the opinions OF Washington and
Hamilton and such statesmen are consulted. Where
in has he demonstrated his fitness to govern men?
Surely not his insubordnation to government him
SELF for the sentence of court martial dismissed
him in disgrace from the army for characterization
| And his benevolence and humanity as governor
are questionable since to save his baggage
| he left large number Of men who were under
| his charge to perish amidst the deep
\ SHOWS in the wilderness. Wherein has he shown
| himself to be man of great executive talent!
! Nowhere beyond that which thousands OF men
Of his age have shown in their respective EN-.
/ ployments and professions. Wherein has he detff-
1 guisbed himself in his military career, excepting
| in insubordnation) In nothing which has not been
! equalled and in many instances excelled by large
number Of lieutenants in our army The herosim Of
| Sergeant Jasper at Fort Moultrie viii live on the
lips of his countrymen when the most signal act OF
Colonel Fremoutsha have been forgotten. In short,
l.A, rh1w, s~~A a.. e.
any thing to be found which can be pledged by one
honest, candid American heart TO another as an
nest that COL Fremont is the man for President OF
| the United States especially in the present ener-
| gencyt Nothing beyond that which might be
pledged Of thousands of of his age in the land
And do not believe that the country, fruitful it
| may be Of great men, has yet yielded such crop
! Of Presidents.
| Now, regarding Mr. Fremonts Amercanism, he
has not yet given the shadow of an indication
that be has any feeling in common with or embraces
| a single principle or sentiment Of the American
| party. He dare not do it. On the contrary, bis
answers To gentlemen who, whilst attending the
Convention in New York, in June Intercepted him
on the subject, 30 tar as given ignored the party as
SUCH and he would not venture an expression favor
able to any single one OF its dogmas. He was then
in the custody of the republican party; and whatever
his sentiments may have been in that regard, his
keepers had sealed his lips and he dare not utter
them. You well remember that some Massachusetts
gentlemen, whilst attending that Convention at the
solicitation of his friends and out of tender regard
for the Colones standing before the republican
party, published card in the HERALD stating, in
effect, that Colonel Fremont had not lit having been
alleged that he had), in an interview which they had
with him on the subject, in anywise committed him
self to the American party. Besides, Colonel Ere
of party that embodes in its feelings and members
more antagonisms to the American party than any
other. That party was organized for the express
purpose OF breaking down and crushing ont the great
American party Iii for that object that its leaders
politically, live and move and have their being
their pretensions regarding slavery TO the contrary
notwithstanding. Further regarding Mr.. Fremont
cessful contradiction, that he is Roman Catholic:
and have doubt that II is jesuitcal schema OF
the wreworkers Of the republican party, under
of the smoke and noise about Sumner outrsges and
Kansas wrongs 10 foist upon the American people
Roman Catholic President But, thank heaven, there
are yet in the land Protestant Americans enough TO
defeat their nefarious designs.
John G. Fremont does not represent the Ameri-
can party God forbid that IL should ever be repre-
sented by such q man, or any man who will suffer
himself 70 be the candidate Of section of this
country as against the other. The great American
party is national party. The preservation Of the
Union and its interests Is its especial mission now
and by the blessing of Heaven, will continue 10 be
Mr.. Fremont Ia the representative of faction in
the free States, who are reckless as the whriwind
as 10 what desolaton may yawn in their pathway TO
power provided 1t can be attained. Such Is the man
whom you have concluded TO support for President,
as the best representative Of the American people
Twill vote for Millard Fillmore for be is the only
representative Of the American party, and Of tie
interests OF the whole American people, in the field
am, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
