FREMONT TO Re THE RERUBLIcAN CAsD1DATE.-
The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun says:
The subject of the nomination for President of
the Charleston and Chicago Conventions is one of
SO much interest that the opinions of leading poll
teians in regard to it are received with some con-

The Republicans will take their old team, which
now will be as easily beaten as it was before. All
the rumors in regard to Bates Banks, Cameron,
Reed McLane. etc, as candidates, appear to have
been idle. There is but one point on which all
spectators concur, to-wit: that Mr. Seward will
not be the Republican candidate.
