Nor ExAcTLY.-The Lawrence Jour
nal says that since Fremont has with
drawn from the Presidential contest,
three-fourths of his supporters will vote
for Mcclellan. Not to any alarming ex-
tent. Fremont had two sets of support
ers. About nine-tenths Supported him
from principls-becauss they did not
consider Mr.. Lincoln radical enough for
the times, and thought the good of the
country required change in this respect.
But now that Fremont is ont of the ring,
they will vote for the best man against
Mcclellan, who is undoubtedly Lincoln.
The remaining one-tenth supported Fre-
mont for spite. In Kansas, this class
principally abound in the vicinity Of
Lawrence. Because the President has
been hocus-pocused by Lane. and gives
him full control of Kansas patronage,
they mean to take revenge by opposing
Lincoln. Having been Republicans, they
rallied around the Fremont banner, but
be being off the track. and their spite by
no means allayed. they are now drift ting
McC Clellanward. Lincoln will survive
the shock.

"SEE How They RuI !''-When the
action of the Lane Convention has sick
ered some Of the most hardened followers
Of that corrupt man. We may still hope
for their ultimate conversion. There has
been any amount Of auttsring and kick
ing over the traces by their newspapers.
The Leavenworth Conservative and Fort
Scott Monitor bolr the nomination Of
Sid. Clarke, and also support the Presi-
Dental Elector nominated by the Con-
vention of the 18th. in preference to the
one nominated BY Sid. Clarke snd John
Speer. The Atchison Free Press repudi-
ates the Clarke-Speer Elector; and the
Leavsnwosth Ballstia wants 10. but con-
not until it consults Lane. The Olaths
Mirror. lately decidedly Laneish. hoists
the ticket nominated by the Convention
Fof 18th. The Manhattan Independent.
recently on the Lane order. does not know
what to do. The Junction Union thinks
the Lane Convention did some things oi
doubtful honesty. bat concludes to swsl.
low the ticket. The Wysndotte Gazette
hitherto on the fence. speaks good word
for the genuine ticket. The temporary
editor, not having the fear Of McGrew
before his eyes. says be hopes the editor.
on his return from the East, will support
the ticket of the 18th. But the Emporis
News was in the worst 6x. Jake Stotlel
had been fighting Lane right along bu.
after the " fraud" Lane had managed to
make an impression upon him. he was
appointed member of their State Cen.
trail Committee. and participated in theiI
Convention. But that turned his stom.
ach. However. having taken part in
their Convention. he felt that he could
not honorably bolt; so. to get out of the
dilemma, he sold the News establishment
to one of Sid. Clarke's detectives, and
retired in disgust.
