EXTRAORDINARY POLITICAL CONFESSIONS
most singular political confessions, perhaps,
ever made are those of Tburlow Weed and
Horace Greeley, just made by those politicians
in their own journals. The one has been en-
gagged for some forty years and the other twenty
in the dirty work of party corruption, and both
confess they have had a large share in it, though
we cannot expect them to tell us all the truth.
Weed has been in league with the Albany Re-
State and the city of New York. The Third
Avenue Railroad stock is particularly referred
to by Greeley as the richest of those placers in
which Weed has mined, and Weed responds by
admitting the fact and giving Greeley "a Ro-
land for his Oliver" "Obnoxious," he says,
las the admission b to just sense of right and
to better condition of political ethics, we stand
so far impeached. We would have preferred
not to disclose to public view the financial his
tory of political life, nor should the Tribune
have constrained such disclosures. Public
men know much Of what the rest of man.
kind are ignorant. If we have sinned
in this way, Mr.. Greeley ought not to east the
in the use of money at elections or in legsla-
ton. He knows how much it cost, and out of
whose pockets the money came, to elect
Speaker N Congress. He knows how he ex-
pected to be rembursed; he knows for what
purpose thousand dollar check was handed
to him."
Thus does the pot call the kettle black, and
the kettle returns the compliment and both
acknowledge the soft impeachment Quoth
Weed
Painful as the confession is, bound in truth and
from knowledge to say that James Buchanan elected
President, and this great and then happy and glorious
republic ruined, simply because Mcssrs Wendell Forney
and Belmont raised 900 more money to be expended in
Pennsylvania than William A. Hall, Truman Smith and
the writer Of this article could procure for the
object.
This is making clean breast with a ven
geancc. Weed and Greeley, it seems, were
excelled by Forney in corruption in 1856, and
they consequently lost the election Of President;
but to compensate Tor that defeat they carried
by dint of money, the election of Speaker in
Congress. Such are the shameless confessions
made by these politicians in their ordinations
and rccriminations. They are highly edifying,
and illustrate tie proverb that when rogues
fall out the public gain by the quarrel.
There is a moral in these revelations for the
study of every honest man; and we all ought
to ask ourselves, How can we expect that the
country should be in any other condition than
the deplorable state in which we now find it.,
when men who stoop to such rascality, and
blush not to confess it, have been permitted so
long to control the political destinies of the
nation!

Gen. Fremont About to Take tho Field.
According to our latest authentic advices from
st. Louis, Gen. Fremont, with some twenty-one
thousand men, was preparing to march from that
city to the defence of Jefferson City, the State
capital, and with the view of assaiing the rebel
Gen. Price in the rear. In this movement Free
mont will be supported by the command of
Major Sturgis on the north side Of the Missouri,
by Hunters command from Rolla, and by other
detachments which will probably increase the
Union forces to forty thousand men.
On the rebel side, Price is reported to be in
command of twenty seven thousand, while Ben.
McCulloch, with twenty thousand more, was on
the road to join him. A collision between these
opposing forces will therefore exceed in its
proportions on each side the battle of Bull!
run; and from the remarkable fighting quail
ties of those Western men, we may expect
sanguinary and decisive result. The issue will
make or break Fremont; and, considering the
fact that from his recent mistakes of various
kinds he is now under cloud, let us hope that
he will redeem himself in this enterprise, and
rc-establish himself thoroughly in the conf
Meantime the st. Louis correspondent of the
New York Tribune says that 'the people of the
Northwest love Fremont. and believe in him"
and what is more, that "they endorse his late
proclamation to the fullest extent" all of which
we pronounce sheer nonsense. We grant that
from his California military reputation great
expectations" were entertained by the whole
country from Fremont's appointment to the de-
partment of Missouri and its dependencies. The
Blairs, in securing this appointment, doubtless
entertained "great expectations" But they
and the country have been disappointed, and
the popularity of Fremont has accordingly
| suffered
As for the popular endorsement in the North
west Of his late proclamation. that is all NOON
shine. The masses of the people of all the LOYAL
States endorse and will cooperate to sus-
tain the conservative policy of tho Pre-
sident on the slavery question, the only
policy upon which the Union can be restored
The President, in arresting the emancipation
policy of Gen Fremont, has already changed
the late damaging neutrality of kentucky to a
cordial armed cooperation with the govern
ment, which is immensely the greatest Union
victory we have achieved since the war began.

TIE NATIONAL FAsT.-The last Tim rsday in
September is the day appointed by tin Presi
dent for solemn fast, and we have no doubt
that it win be strictly observed throughout the
country, and by citizens of all ereeds. A pane 9
from the ordinary avocatlons of life, at a time
like the present, affords opportunity for refec-
ton and thanksgiving, and has much to recon-
mend it. Although differing from the Thanks
giving days observed by the Puritans at the
commencement of the sowing and reaping sea-
son, it is quite in keeping with long estab-
lished custom Of European nations in time Of
war, famine, drought or pestilence. The his
tory of every civilized country abounds in
royal proclamatiOns Of national fasts, on which
occasions thanks might be returned for
past mercies, and the blessing of the
Almighty implored upon the country its
arms, its sovereign or its crops, as the case
might require, and prayers be offered for deliver
ance from evil. Upon ne occasion in the annals
of the world has greater cause than our own
ever given rise to the summoning of mighty
people to humble themselves before the Father
of All, and we trust that the day and the trou-
bles which it is intended to mark will be con-
sidered in calm, religious spirit
