"Whoever is not prepared to sacrifice
party organizations and platforms on the
altar Of his country does not deserve the
support and oountensnoe Of honest people.

Eloquent Tribute to Fremont.
Rev. DR.. Conway of Cincinnati, in his
discourse on Sunday last, paid the following
high tribute to Fremont and his late PrOcla-
nation; ttI Hat.rr.fs +
There rings through every mind here to-
day that noblest word which the war has yet
elicited-the proclamation of the gallant
Commander of the West who has shown
himself Roman Curtius, brave and manly
enough to leap straight into the heart of this
conflict. His steel rang true upon The flint
Of rebellion, and brought forth spark Of
true fire. God grant that it may fash
through the land and light the train of liber.
ty that yetsleeps unEred under the entrench-
ments of slavery r-a-2 z1re-C
When this war Is up to the standard Of
John G. Fremont, the country will be saved.
Hitherto known as the daring heart that first
planted the stars and stripes upon thehighest
peak of the Rocky Mountains, henceforth the
nobler fame awaits him, of one who first
planted that standard on the highest summit
Of liberty and humanity that ranged within
his possible authority. Years ago, beiOre his
name was echoed through the land as one
for the highest Office Of the country, it was
my privilege often 10 touch that brave mans
hand, look into his "mild and magnificent
eyes" and never did SO without feeling that
there was power sheathed in that brain and
nerve which Woa,d one day be unsheathed
for his country, and lead the van of honor
like King Arthurs sword Exealibur, that
struck only for the right, and whose stroke
never failed.
The nation cried for leader-a man: 10,
he is here iad-- -'i5A
He takes the step that Congress was too
timid to take openly. He pauses not to ask,
"Will this advance my chances for the next
Presidency 2" nor "whether, if the country
is restored, this step will not make me an
object of special odium at the South?' He
stops not to consider if it may not bring the
lurking dagger near to his heart Nor does
he seek to shift the responsibility on others
Upon the banner of the West his own hand
wrote the golden words in the eye of the
world "Their slagss II hey hare any, are
hereby declared free men," e u d q
That one sentence will do more to strike
terror TO the hearts Of our enemies, to
strengthen Us at home, to gain honor
| abroad than all that has been done at
Washington for thirty years. WsL
Henoeforih the genius of America adopts
Fremont as her darling hero.
The American people have now an op-
pOrtunity Of communicating their strength
TO their rulers. Let them see how Ameri-
cans can respond to Q noble and vigorous
deed. Let q hand Of flame 90 out from the
people and write on the walls Of Washing
ton that the nation hOnoFs above all the
brave and determined heart-Which has no
fear Of aughts but fesT-Vhose high diple-
macy is to do the manly and true thing,
snd to do it openly. There on his proud
eminenee let every honest heart be swift to
stand BY him, and LET his high example
raise you to an adequacy to whatever post
Of labor you are called. We need Ellsworths
Of the press, Rinthrops Of the'freside, Ly-
ons Of the pulpit and q Fremont in every
mans breast We need not only the brave
men who shall defend the standards when
lifted up, but earnest hearts which shall
lift them up--aye, up on the very towers
Of Right ana Liberty. We need a banner
on which every eye Of the circling earth
shall see written its liberty and light. We
need 4 school Of prophets and seers, who,
as Of old, shall CRY aloud and spare not,
showing the evils that must be conquered
in ourselves before we are worthy TO win
the victories Of God upon earth. Let every
tongue that can speak be touched With 3
live coal from Liberty's Altar; let every
pen that can write be dipped in the truest
blood Of an earnest heart; let every arm
that can strike nerve itself 10 smite or be
smitten for universal freedom. Let none
stand back and ssy, g l will wait until this
is noble War-a war for humanity" Let
all enter and make it noble war make it
struggle Of Humanity. As we rise our
rulers will rise. We must hold up their
hands as Aaron and Hur held up the hands
Of Moses to the going down Of the sun.
When our nation presses. on end on
toward that Humanity involved here-the
Christ Of tO-day-and3 its mailed hand is
reached out to touch his garment, to save
the children Of our Common Father, then
shall the strength Of God thrill and fIl us,
and our bleeding country shall be made
