The Nominees of the Cleveland
Convention,

The nominee for President, Gen. John
G. Fremont, was the candidate Of the Re-
publican party in the memorable campaign
of 1856, being then defeated by James Bu-
chanan. Gen Fremont. in that year, was
supported by most of the present adherents
of Abraham Lincoln and they cannot i'm
pugn his loyalty" for he, in fact, is the
father of the Republican rarity, now sailing
Mon Gen. Fremont, when be led the
Republican party, and carried its waving
banners, was styled the Pathfinder of the
Empire. He is the representative man of
the Radical German element of the country
He is bold and daring in his undertakings; !;
and, we apprehend, will not be driven from
the Presidential course BY the paid officials
Of the present Administration. His ener-
getic denunciation Of the course of the Ad-
minisration, in suspendiDg the writ Of ha-
beas corpus, in districts not within the sphere
Of military ore.aiions the fact that he is
the author Of the first Emancipation Procla-
nation; that he is opposed to the establish
ment of European domination on this CONT
nent, being believer in the Monroe doc
trine; have cndeared him to formidable
body Of men, who are determined, at all
hazards, to drive into obsecurity an Admin
istration they helped into power, bnt which
has since its accession disgraced their repre-
sentatives, and, upon all occasions, compel
ed them to get down in the dust. This ra-
dical element carried for Lincoln, in 1860,
the States of Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, and
aided materially in giving him the vote Of
the Empire State, Their disaffection is the
most terrible blow the Administration has
received Their influence, too, iii Ohio, is
not inconsiderable and, as the campaign
progresses, we should not be surprised if
would be a knotty question as to which
wing of the party is the stronger II the Ere
mont wing, or the one sustained, supported
and upheld by the Tax-Gatherers, Provost
Marshals, Enrolling Officers, Postmasters,
&c,
General Fremont is son-in-law of the
late Colonel Benton; has been United
State Senator, and in talents is unquestion.
ably superior to Lincoln. If we had time te
reproduce from our exchanges printed in

think we could convince them from theiI
own sheets, that Lincoln is infinitely his in.
