Col. John C, Fremont,

A California correspondent Of the Mis-
souri, Democrat, writing from Los Ange-
los, says of our old iavorite-the man
whom the democratic party" stand
more in dread Of TO day than al the others
together, who have been spoken Of as can
didates for the Presidency in 1860:
" Notwithstanding the lying stories
circulated by tie Buchanan presses TO
the prejudice Of Col. Fremont, feel safe
in saying that if left TO themselves. ninety
five out of one hundred old Californians
would vote tomorrow for the " conquer
or OF California" for the Presidency
They love and admire the genius of the
Pathfinder Of Civilization. His simple
manners, his warm and geLerous heart
won upon their admiration anG regard
lie took no undue advantages of their
necessities or peculiar situation. On the
contrary, he extended 10 the old residents
here all the courtesy kindness and marked
forbearance which the nature of his po.
alion as soldier and civilian would per-
NIT. Without doubt, the electoral vote /
of California will be cast for the nomina-
tlon Of Col. Fremont, one Of her earliest
aud warmest friends. If be should be so
fortunate as to receive the re Endorsement
OF the National Convention, hazard but
little in predicting that he will receive the
vote OF this State for the Presidency in
1860, by handsome majority. There
are great changes going on in the politi-
cal horizon, and even this county will be
redeemed in 1860, if it does not cast
Republican msjority this fall"

Webster on the Irreprassible Con-
fi!ct."

According to Mr.. Everett, in his recent
Grafton Mr.. Webster was also a believer
in the irrepressible conflic! between Free.
dom and Slavery, the first annunciation of
which has been attributed to Mr.. Seward.
We quote:
He Mr., Weboter not only confidently
anticipated what the lapse of seven years
since his decease has witnessed and is wit
Messing, that the newly acquired and new
ly organized Territories of the Union
would grow up into Free States: but, in
common Witl att az neariy 0H tie statesmen
Of he last generation, lie believed Mot Free
Labor 'oouid ultimately prevaH throughout
tie country. Tic thought he saw that, in
the operation of the same causes which
have produced this result in the Middle
and Eastern States, it was visibly taking
place in the States north of the cotton
growing region; and he incliucd to the
opinion that there, also, under the infiu
ence of physical causes, Free Labor would
eventually be found more productive, and
would therefore be Ultimately established. "

Fever and Ague,

vegetable decay. This exhalaton is evol, d by
the action of solar heat wet soil, and rises with

the horizon this yapor fingers near the earth's
face, and the virus is taken with it through the
lungs into the blood. There it acts nm irritating

Of the body The liver becomes torpid and fails to
secrctc not only this virus, but also the bile from
the blood. Both the virus and the bile accumulate
in the circulation, and produce violent constitu-
tional disorder. The spleen, the kidneys, and the
stomach sympathize with the liver, and become
disordcrcd also. Finally, the instinct Of our or
ganism, as il in an attempt to expel the noxiouJ
infusion, concentrates the whole blood Of the body
in the internal oxcretores to force them to cast it
out. The blood leaves the surface, and rushes to
the central organs with congestive violence. This
is the CHILL. But in this effort it fails. Then the
FEVER follows, in which the blood leaves the ccn-
trail organs and rushes to the surface, as if in
