What will then remain to be done?
Suppose that Lincoln and Mcclellan
obstinately persist then we shall.per-
sist also. When we consider that in
selecting Fremont as its candidate,
the new party espouses the grievanc-
es of the West against the East; that
it is eager and willing to regain its
rights; that the new party favors
those foreigners whose rights have
been injured by the present Admin
listration, animated as it is by the
spirit of Know -Nothingism; and that
all these elements are united, young,
ardent, and in favor of extreme res
olutions, we cannot but conclude that
prudence and patriotism will prefer
to promote the success of party led
by man of unquestioned integrity,
and who is the incarnation of Ameri-
can freedom and dignity. There is
so little difference between this party
and the Democratic party that it |
would be easy to adopt q common
ticket which would sweep everything
before it. Such step would be to
the interest of the Democratic ticket
if it would not remain four years Ion

SuIcIDG.--It has long been our rule not 10 pub
lsh cases of suicide, having once observed that
one published case in this vicinity was speedily
followed by two or three more cases. We relax
the rule in behalf of joins c. Fremont as his is
the most extraordinary case on record and will in
all future time be a warning to men who shall be
tempted to sacrifice patriotism to personal ambi-
ton and spite
Our readers have already had Fremont letter
Of acceptance, aud refer them to il for the de-
tails of the lamentable affair When John c.
Fremont resigned his commission as Major Gene
raj in the army OF the United States for the pur-
pose Of accepting nomination for the Presden-
cy, on the express condition that he is TO run
against Abraham Lincoln and nobody else, he turn
ed his sword from the rebels to use it against the
commander-in-chief Of the loyal army of the coun-
try. What if every other officer and soldier in
the army should initiate that examplei The reb-
els could in no other way win so cheap and so
complete triumph; aud by that token we count
Fremont as felo de Sc.
American people can tolerate personal ambition
when it seeks its ends by patriotic principles and
brave and glorious deeds they admire the selfsac-
rfcing hero or statesman, and never fail to give
him Just reward but the public man. in cabinet
or camp, who refuses in time Of war to serve
his country in any position, however exalted or
humble, and seeks to distract it by factions
engendered in disappointed personal ambition or
personal spite, will also find just reward in the
contempt Of all loyal men Fremont is evidently
playing for the nomination at Chicago and we
should rejoice to see the copperheads put them
selves under his lead. But they are too shrewd
for that They won't run a dead man. if they can
find live one.
