From The Mobile Tribune Of he loth.
We hardly know Of anything that VIII give more
pleasure 10 our readers than the news OF The defeat
OF Fremont and Shields. The former is rank
demsgogue. aud has used Lis intue &c with the
foreigners OF tue West to FL them up with bitter
and unreleDtiDg anmosity to the South-no doubt IN
expectation that tbai popular emeDt would put
him in fair way to step into The shoes OF Mr.. Lam

The Gerr an population, OF the West especially
las been acted upon. No Que denies that FIe-
Dont is a Of marked talents; and go profoundly
i'm, ressed with tns are his followers, that they
ouiy desired that he should have an opportunity 70
exhibit his skill as a soiier. lie has had it, and,
The b. true the result is defeat defeat which
vii lower him greatly in t'eir opinion. lie IL
bold, able, bad man, and ambilous enough 10 desire
TO rise on the rum Of his country.
Gen. Shields owes the South for innumerable
coures'es and welcomes. In tins State, aier the
Mexican war, he received al the honor hat people
could give to one whose seryices they valued. Tic
Legislature OF Alabama welcomed bim formally, AID
we think, passed resolutions in high compliment to
him. In Georgia and elsewhere there were SIMILAR
demonstrariou'. At Columbia, S. C., he delivered a
speech glowing with words OF attachment 10 this
country and The Constitution, which he himself de-
clared was often trenehed upon by The North. lie
declared, that occasion, tnai le hoped his risht
arm might wither before he would raise hand
sgsinst south Carolina.
Fremont never did this; never that we know 81,
exhibited any special regard 10 The rlghis u any
par, OF tie old Union. lie was thoroughly inpeg
mated with the literness Of bis hiheI-in-lsw Benz
ton. who, for many years prior 70 lie DEATH was no

Tue defeat Of these men-who ought 70 have
syupstbized if no, acted with us--vill he welcome
news 10 every true man within tie country.
