paragraphs We extract from the Richmond En-
pnircr, and believe they contain rs truthful de
~scription Of Mr.. Fremont and the fimsiness Of
his Claims to the Presidency, as could be writ
tn In a volume.
His success in the world is due rather to the.
favor Of fortune, than to any great qualities Of
his owu. Essentially a charlAtan, he has con-

Of the chronicles Accident raised him 20 the

WAS abort, and so rapidly did he sink in public
esteem that his application for reelection was
indignantly rejected by an appFeciatiTe censat-
uency.
And now, this warrior who never smelt the
smoke Of IAttle, this hero Of his own iulagina-
lion, and this statesman without a speech, au-
daciously aspires to the Presidency Of the Uni

The Republican Ticket would have been COM

adventures in the far Vest by Fremont, with
one exception, we're made under the advice and
persOnal guidance of Carson, and that exception
vas n failure. Many Of the scenes and incidents
described, we're never witnessed by Fremont,
and while often truthful frequently are not cnt:-
ded to any cTcdence, and depend upon the fer
tie imagination Of CarEon for an existence. w
hare tsaverSsl this continent on at least one -
rhe routes described by Fremont, and when h.
tells us Of the stately poplar trees on the North
Fork Of the Nebraska river, and the beautiful
groves Of cotton woods, on the banks Of thu
Humboldt, We are disposed to cast lis book
aside asa fable.
We look upon Fremont as a mere adyenturer,
a. unfit for the position his ambition leads him
to aspire to, as he would be TO command an ar
