These are facts of history. No amount
of Copper head lying can destroy or impair
their significance.
The sentinel and other adm inistration journals
not only omit from their columns Il intelligence con-
corning the efforts being made for Fremont by repub
licans in all the northern states, but complain be-
cause democratic newspapers do not follow suit

1t may be gratifying occupation for the
Ne'es, and other Copperhead journals, to
fiatter and deceive themselves or to attempt
to deceive others, with the idea that great
effort is being made, or is going to be made
by a considerable portion of the repub-
lican party, in favor of Fremont, as the next
President of the United States, but it will
prove very unremunerative occupation.
We have looked long for the first evidence
of amy effort being made or likely to be made
for Fremont. by republicans, in any of the
Northern States, but we have looked in vain.
We have yet to see the first Republican pa
per with the names of Fremont and Cochrane
as its candidates for the present campaign.
And more than that, we have yet to see the
first republican paper that does not Garner
ly and honestly support the nominees of the
Baltimore convention.
The only papers that we have seen, that
seem to be making any effort for Fremont
in this state, are the Milwaukee Nea0s
Ozaukee. AduertiSer, Marquette Express,
and ''sich like as Mrs Darlington would
say-all, secesh, rebelsympathizing jour-
nails, of the most copperish hue. These facts
we presume, form the occasion for the omis-
sion the Meas complains Of We are not post

gence," as the editor of the Meas, is which we
should have to do, if we pretended to give
any such intelligence as the Neaos speaks of
We were told at first, that the Radical
Germans were going to make a great effort
for Fremont, and that his nomination would
create the greatest enthusiasm among our
entire German population. ehave looked
i'll vain for any such enthusiastic uprising
among the German Republicans whether
radicals or otherwise. Missouri was supposed
to be the centre of German Radcalism, and
yet even in Missouri, the great mass of Ger
man Radicals and Radical Republicans, are
going for Lincoln and Johnson We give in
another place list of Radical Newspapers
that have put up the names of Lincoln and
johnson. We have pretty large German
population in this State, from which the
Meas predicted great enthusiasm for FIRE.

on by the editor of the Nea0S and some others
Of the copperhead anti-war democrats, few
Germans assembled or pretended to assemble
in Milwaukee, and passed resolution in ia
vor Of supporting Fremont, but we have no
evidence that they were radical repub-
licans on the contrary, we believe the
whole affair was the work of copperheads;
In this county we have quite large Ger
man population but have not heard of any Ere
mont enthusiasm among them. One of the
leading Germans of Wheatland in a letter
renewing his subscription the other day wrote
as follows:
II am not as great an admirer Of "Honest
old Abe" as the Telegraph seems to be, yet
l shall rather support him than any Union
man who does not care whether the copper
heads will be successful, or some other candi-
date, if the great C).end they pursue is accom-
plished and that great end is nothing
but the defeat of the present admin
istration Now, sir, as / have said before
"Old Abe would not have been my first
choice, if had been at Baltimore, but since
he has been nominated, by the Union Party,
hardly think can be so thoughtless as to
vote for copperhead, OF what is worse a
copperhead- abolitionist."
The writer of the above is a young man
ofsplendid education, OF commanding talents
and probably comes as near to being Ger
man radical, or radical German as any Ger
man i'll this county, but is very far from
lending himself to the scenes of copperheads
or of discontented and sorehead Republicans.
The Republicans of Kenosha county were
as jealous, hard working friends of Ere
mont, in 1856, as any in the country. But
they were true Republicans, and not merely
Fremont-men. They worked for Fremont
as the representative of the principles they
cherished. If there was any remarkable at
tachment to ''the Pathfinder" it was be-
cause they believed him to be, not only the
representative of their principles but him
self Representative man," in advance Of
the general sentiment of the people them
selves in the cause Of universal Freedom.
As the nominee of the Cleveland Conven-
tion-the candidate of an opposition fac
tion-a faction organized, as far as it is Or
ganized at all, for the express purpose Of
defeating, or aiding to defeat, the party Of
the Union, even at the risk OF electlng
copperhead, Peace, democrab-Fremont is
no longer the representative of the Union
Republican principles, and will therefore re-
ceive no aid from any Republicans Of this
county. We mean just what we say, when
we declare that we do not know of single
Republican in this county, who supports Ere
mont and Cochrane If there is such Re
publican, we should like to know it, and we
will certainly give him credit through our
columns, that he may have the consolation,
at least, of letting the world know of his
devotion.
