An inside View OF the FrenoRt Ma
ahfns-Lotter from Gen. CIaSeFeL.
To tie Editor Of the ". 2. Post
I resd in your number Of yesterday,
18th September, that ny newspaper be-
longs 70 the National Pathfinder Assocls-
tion; this is at least bold Sud make the
public the Judge of the question: The
Esas EaticH was founded BY Gen. Fremont
aud myself alone; Gen Fremont has fur-
nished the greater pArt Of the money;
have furnished 3 part Of the money and
su the work. On the 7th Of last July
Gen. Fremont, to shield his own name, And
avoid the annoyance of & reclamation, the
nature of which do aot wish TO relate
new, urgently begged ne % sign the fol-
lowing contract with the SahocAl Path
finder Association.
ETkis agreement, made sad entered in
to this Tth dsy OF July, A. D. 1854, be-
tween the National Pathfinder AssOcis-
tion,' an assoeiAton only incorporated Sc
cording to the Laws of the State Of New
York, party Of the first part, aud Gustavs
Paul Clusecet, party Of the second part
wiruesseth:
1Articls I. The party Of the first part, for
the sun of one dollar and other good and
valuable considerations, hereby purchase
the weekly psper known Es the SeV Nc
tioN, and also hereby conveys 70 party of
the second part one-third Of its capital
stock in paid-up shares, and for such good
and valuable considerations ss shove spe-
eiied the party OF the second part hereby
bargains, sells, ard conveys to the party of
the frst part, the said weekly paper known
as the NeS SatSoG.
"Artiele 1. The party of the frst part
agrees to assume aod pay any debts now
owed by the said paper.
article 5. In case said party of the
frst part fails to fulfil the agreement as
hsrsin set forth, then, and in that case, the
paper returns to its present owners"
General Fremont, in order % overcome
ny repuguaace, several tines repeated
that this society WAS g fiction, the ain of
which Was 10 protect his name. and 70 as
sure ne, caused Msjor Haskell TO exact
the resignation of the only two real mem
bers-Messrs. G. and s. The Society then
became composed of. first, Majer Haskell, /
president; Everybody, believe, IS aware
Of TIE nsture of his relations with General
Frenont;) secondly, Of Major RaskelPs
brother in-isE; thirdly, of Nj B., young
mar in Msjor Hsskel's employment, and
living in, the same house with MsjOF Has
kell and his brothsT-in law, house which
General Fremont affirm msd to ne TO belong
TO himself; fourthly, Of Mr.. Alden, who II
this affair pIsys the mere part of secretary, |
and hftbIy, Of myself, sTsrybody's dupe, it !
would sppear, from having believed Gen. |
Frsnout'= word
I SAX zuy nan knowing New York if the |
four members of this association represent |
ANYTHING whatsoever, OF whether they are !
capable Of snEwering for the publication |
OF ANYTHING whatever. Can e society whose !
stock is not subscribed, and whose msn- |
bs-s do not possess anything, be called |
real society? TIE president of the society |
cannot pay bill OF two handred dollars. |
This society WAS nof = real 0ae; il did net |
falhu any Of the obrgstious OF the con-
tract; not only has It not paid ne, bat II
has Istt ne 70 pay the expenses Of the |
newspaper, and does notrefund that money. !
1t Is evident that. according TO the terms |
of article fifth of the contract, the news |
paper ought 10 return to ne, bat inEtssd of
thiz, General Fremont, having certain |
political bargain IL view, with which
have refused 70 associate myself has let
loose upon ne those who hide his name;
the door Of the editorial rooms have been
forced; my books have been taken away
and not being able 70 buy ne, they have
done all they could 70 destroy me. /
an warned that ST the last moment an
Injunction Is 20 be served upCn ne, l
appeal to the loyalty, the good sense, and
the morality of the public, to decide OF
which gide is theuEbt- Three il iividuals, |
without means, come one fae dsy and
proposed to publish ny newspaper, nader
csrtsfa conditions; they GO not fultl them;
crests debts, ruin the Newspaper, and then
declare thSt the Newspaper belongs 10 them.
Is this rational? l an very uaiEpoTtant
parsonage In comparison with Nj Fremont,
who las boAsted TO ne that he could stop
the course Of justice for five years in New
York II his ovn favor; bat I doubt if he
can stop that Of p2bIie opinion.
Although Mr.. Lincoln Is tar from being

for they are played ST the expense Of hon
esty. Yours,
