occasional reports Of cannon inform us OF the

somely toward Mr.. Fremont. Having assisted
TO place him In a position which, to almost
anybody else, would be embarrassing at least,
they turn against him and treat him with con.
tempt, Take, for example, the following from
the Chicago Post:
Major Gen. John Charles Fremont accepts
tue nomination for the Presidency, rendered
him by the convention, with the provision that,
II Mr.. Lincoln should not be nominated at
Baltimore, he will Withdraw In favor of the
'other man. John Charles knows that
Abraham Lincoln will be nominated, ami he
wishes II known 70 the public that his object
10 accepting the nomination, and becoming q
candidate, IL that he may split tho Republican
party iu twain, aud thereby defeat IL.
However desirable TO Democrats NAV be the
success OF John Charles strategic movement,
the value OF the movement depends exclusively
On his probable means of accomplishing the
end. Can John Charles muster enough votes
In either of the New England States to enable
the Democracy To obtain electoral votes Can
he obtain any popular vote in any State to a
number that will enable the Democracy TO
win Can he get twenty thousand votes In
Ohloi Can he gtt the same number In Wis.

or render II certain against Abraham Lincoln
10 fehnsylNania or New York; He frankly
admits by the terms Of his letter that he can.
not bo electec; he might have added that he
cannot get an electoral vote.
The only State in which we think he can pos.
sibly divide the Republicans to an extent that
would render the vote of the State certain for
the Democrats is Missouri, and even that result
would be obtained there just as we'll by his not
being candidate as by his being one. On the
whole, we do not think the Fremont candidacy
is OF sufficient importance TO the Republicans
or Democrats 10 be worth the favor or dlsfayor
of either party.
