A number of the best men in the oppo

themselves for Fremont
From what we hear from abroad, the
party is pretty well divided. Those of the
opposition who honestly believe in the IA
natical teachings of the party, and who are
influenced to act by honest convictions of
their principles, go for Fremont. All the
Brigadicr Generals, Postmastcrs, Provost
Marshals, Tax Assessors, Revenue Collec-
tors, Contraband Agents, Cotton Spccula-
tors, Army Contractors, and thieves and
public plunderers generally are for Lincoln.
Those who believe in the union--in the
Constitution-thc laws and the enforce

try for the future good Of the Union, will
vote for neither Fremont nor Lincoln but
for the nominee Of the Chicago Conven

4 Loyal Paper Oh Lincoln.

The New York Herald, war paper
which has generally supported the admins
tcation of LINCOLN, says our political
Presidents have been growing smaller by
degrees and--not beautifully, but-dis-
gracefully less until ABRAHAM LINCOLN,
who is the smallest and most incompetent
of them all, now occupies the place Of
WASHINGTON.
1t adds that while other Administrations
have been distinguished only by imbecility
and ncapacity, Lincoln has added dcspotic
tendencies to these bad characteristics. -
AS no smaller candidate than Abe Lincoln
could be discovered the politicians have
again chosen this Presidential pigmy as
their nominee Now it remains to be seen
whether the people will ratiiy that choice,
or whether they will declare that our gov.
crnmcnt has sunk quite far enough and
must be again elevated to its former gran.

During the Baltimore Convention of of

OTIS, Reverend Mr. Riley opened one of
the sessions with prayer, in which he said {:
"We pray Thee to graut to these, Thy
servants wisdom that they may conduct
their affairs in the fear of God aud for the
promotion Of the best purposes; and grant
that, when thcy have indicated the men as
candidates for these positions, the people
may come up and roll in an overwhelming
majority, that shall forever settle the ques-
ton that the authority of the United States
Government is the supreme law OF the
land"
This is a very bald attempt at election

been thousand times insulted by abolition
parsons and speakers, but this attempt to
secure, as it were, His vote and influence
for Lincoln, is the meanest and most out

John T. Hale has been slaughtered by
the abolition members of the New lIamp-
shire Legislature, who have just refused to
rc.clcct him to the United States Senate.
He has had too much to say against the
thieves in office to retain his standing in
the dominant party. While he has been
willing to make "a good thing" himself
out of the miseries entailed upon the coun-
try by the war he has yet insisted upon
the right to speak out against official rob
bers in the Government service This cost
him his reelection, and he has been de-
fcatcd by Aaron Cragin, who is to succeed

Had Mr. Breckenridge, Mr.. Douglas,
or Mr.. Bell been elected, there would have
been no rebellion.
That is so; and we are glad to sec that

have all along seen, viz: that the putting
of Lincoln and his insane partisans into

4 Change.

The man who doe, not see that great re-
action is going on in the mindsof the people
against the present Administration seithcr
blinded by partisanism or is an indifferent
observer of what is going ON about him.
The people are sick and tired of the jok'cS of
Abraham Lincoln, and demand Statesman
ship, The iollics and extravaganza of his
Administration are such as to disgust many
honest men of his own party, who will eth
er vote for Fremont, or Join the old Demu-
cratic party, who want Il man at the head OF
the Nation who will administer the laws i'm
partially, will protect the rights Of citizens,
enforce the Monroe doctrine and seek II
speedy peace, upon an honorable basis
That there will be a change, this fall, in the
National Administration seems now to be Il
fixed fact. 1t is right, too for it is unsafe 10
trust such man as Lincoln, with hundreds
ui'milionS Of patronage, with the Admins
tration of the Government for four years
longer. If he is reelected no man born can
Iorctell the fate of our distracted country.
