Judging from the reports of the reception OF
FREMONT at St. Louis, given by the RPHbtieaH,
we think the Federal general should certainly be
satisfied that in the conflict between himself and
the administration, the abolitionists Of that abo-
liton city are with him The aiair is represent
ei as having been gala one " Twenty ;hou-
sand reopie" says the Republican, " is very
large number, but we do not think the turnout
was one person less. Altogether the demon
strsd0n was one Of the largest and grandest
ever Witnessed IN st. Louis"
Greetings. speeches, torchlight procession,
ETC.. wer. the order of the evening Among
Other proceedings was the adoption Of the follow
ing resolutions at q meeting Of the citizens
Wethe citizens of ST. Louis, OF German ez-
t~a-t-au in mass meeting assembled to give eE-

which may have reserved him for a still wider
sphere of action in future times
The RepaJiiraa says that Fremont, during
she reading of the address and resolutions, ap-
parsutly found it difficult to restrain his emo
tf5us, and when be first commenced to respond
his voice was quite tremulous. His response
was as follows:
