The war, since the removal OF Fremont,
seems to be taking more of an anti-aboli-
ton turn than formerly This is noticeable
from the fact that the AboliIionists have
planted themselves squarely in favor Of
Fremont, and against the President and
are denouncing the latter in no measured
terms of abuse. Ii was but lately that the
President was leard 10 declare that lie
detested an aboilionist as much as any
man. The f. Wayne Times. whose ed
itor has lately been appointed Governor Of
Utah, concludes an article on the remov-
nj of Fremont with the following maedic
ton on the abolitionists. If this senti
ment had pervaded The masses of the
people fer the past few years, our present
troubles would not have been upon US:
'.In conclusion we have to say that we
have no idea lha! the removal vi General
Fremont will have any considerable bad
effect. What there may be, will only be
experienced for day created by the abb
Htion wing of the North--a wing that
ought to be clipped to the very body and
buried So deep that nothing short of the
resurreciing Angel of God can bring its
damnable form 10 the light of day ten
