THE CASE OF GENERAL FREMONT.

from the Independent, Get. 10, 1861

people. The enemies Of General Fremont openly boasted
OF his fall They were certain of it, and were informed
by distinguished persons connected with tho govern
ment that It was sure to occur The simple truth is that
the who had arranged for the ds the Western
General had not calculated rightly upon the hold which
Fremont has upon the popular heart There need be
fear present that he will be deprived Of opportunity
TO show his capacity general but the opposition to
him Is only slecping-it is not dead II he does not win
an immediate victory whether no has troops enough or
not, his removal is soregone conclusion. There how
ever, TO be settlement ere long, when the difficulties
which have been heaped In his path will appear. 1t is
scarcely necessary to say that the feeling among the poll
tcians OF this latitude is against Fremunts proclamation
