Ia In view OF this dlsordered ard deuaorslizug
state Of things In the several political parties OF
the day, that we have thought it expedient to
call upon the friends of Fremont North, South
East ard West--to organize, in his name, In his
behalf. and in behalf Of the great constitutional
Union and conservative principles with which his
past associations, his public career and bis per-
soaal history have been 90 intimately blended
We do not desire to have the oouotry thrown
info the exciemen,s Of Presidential election
with all the political parties, factions aud Sec
tons Of the North AID the South, In state of
chaos and anarchy. We ace no peaceful solution
to an election OF this sort; ard hence we do de-
sire the timely organization of a great Union
Conservative party upon name, sufficiently DO
pu.ay in fair field. to achieve political revo.
luton as decisive us that of 1910.
We are sorry that our Richmond contemporary
of The South can discover nothing in this pro.
posed Fremont movement but combustion, con-
States Of regular siege by horde of barbarians
We are looking to the salvation Of the South
from Northern ard Southern traitors, and to the
peace OF the Union, in thus early beating the
ra,ps for Fremont. He was betrayed in the last
election by pretended frienda The people should
see to 1t that he is not again cheated by little
plotting caucuses and central and side door com.
mittees- In the interval we anticipate steady
support by the HERALD of a steady, well adjusted
and consistent administration. But for 1860, re-
pudiatipg old party tricks and machinery, juntas,
cliques and conventions and corruptions, we call
upon the people to perfect that spontaneous pop
ular movement which brought out Fremont in
1866. Nothing more. And we would ask the
South and the Mercry would it not be better thus
VIGOROUSLY to elect Fremont by the people in
1860, than to have the three highest of q half
dozen wIsngling candidates and factions thrown
into the fiery furnace of the next Congress for q
