A Free Fight for Fremont.

The German Republicans have got in
to the Fremont movement with a will
They have become so Thoroughly in ear
nest it is plain nothing can ever induce
them to vote for Lincoln. Indeed, their
whole movement is more Of n protest
against him that an advocacy for any 9th
er candidate. The spirit of the Germans
can be judged by the following extract
from speech made by one Casper Butz,
at q radical meeting in Chicago:
"He said he did not think there was
single man there at the meeting who wo'd
stand up and say that Abraham Lincoln
should be reelected President of the
United States. He had told the people
of this country that the best policy for
the country was to have no policy at all.
| Laughter. So far as he Mr.. Butz was
personally concerned, he did not want any
such man for President of the United
States. Cheers. Ho thought Abra-
ham Lincoln was tie aOedkeSt and 'OorSt
man that ever filed tie Presidential
chair. Great cheering. lie had no
merits that were worthy of emulation, and
lad no more sense than a Child Loud
laughter and applause. He considered
linn perfect imbecile. Renewed ap-
plause.
"Ho had come from the little town of
Springfield, and had acted rs if he had
never seen another place. He had tried
to direct the generals in the field, but in
this he had signally failed. The gener-
ais who were far distant from Washing
ton always won their battles, while those
who were always near the capital always
lost them. Loud cheers. If a general
once came under the blightnig influence
of Lincoln, he was sure to lose everything.
He was decidedly opposed to the nomi-
nation of Lincoln at the Baltimore con-
vention, and, in the event of Lincoln be-
ing reelected, he would dread the conse-
quences. Cameron would be sure to be
taken back into the cabinet, and this
country would become the reproach of ev-
cry country in the world. He wished to
see Fremont nominated and elected, and
he proclaimed himself IN favor Of voting
for any one ercept Lincoln and Valan-
dingham. Loud cheers.1 He thought
they should do all in their power to Sc
cure the nomination for the next Presi-
dent of John C. Fremont, and resumed
his seat amid great applause.
The reading of this speech will not
make " Honest Old Abe good-natured,
but there is good deal Of the same kind
of talk going on in native republican cir

THE exhibition of tho pupils connected
with the Union School of our village, on
Saturday evening last, was indeed cred
liable affair, so far as both teachers and
scholars wcro concerned. The pieces were
well spoken and acted, the singing SUI
perb-Miss Clara White presiding at the
melodeon-and all would have gone off
entirely satisfactory to the audience were
it not for the counter exhibition gotten up
in the extreme back portion of the hall,
by certain individuals of decidedly young
American ideas, which so disturbed the
attention of the audience as to spoil all
enjoyment and relish of those near them
of the pretty, interesting scenes being en-
acted for the qualification of the patrons
and friends of the school.
The fact is, if those young men of our
village, who have Of late been in the prac-
tice of rendering themselves particularly
and disgustingly conspicuous in popular
assemblies, will spend few hours week
ly in studying the art of etiquette and
gentlemanly manners, as laid down by
some approved author, then put in prac-
tice the knowledge thus acquired, it will
rebound vastly to their own credit and Gu
hauco the enjoyment of those thrown in
their company. A word to the wise, &c.

The Election in Connecticut and its
Moral


The Dutch have taxed Holland, Con
necticut has gone wrong again and re-e-
lected Buckingham by some eight thou
sand majority-rather more than less,
probably. No sane politician expected
any other result after the New Hampshire
election. We take it for granted, as a
as a matter of course, that every state
it the North-except, perhaps, the state
New Jersey-would 60 Republican if the
election was held tomorrow. The coun-
is in delirum. Madness rules the hour.
1t is in the widest fancies in Wall street
that the money is made by the specula-
tors. Dividend paying stocks are not no
ticed just now, but their turn is coming
by and by. When the bubble bursts, rs it
will before the fall months, the country
will come 10 its senses. Republican fan
cy stock will 90 down to its true value,
while the Democratic party, which always
pays dividend has never disappointed
the country, will 60 above par.
Let Democrats therefore bide their
time. The present delrium can not last
always, The treasure that is squandered,
the blood that is being needlessIy shed,
will tell in the end, and we are firm in the
faith that next fall will see a Democratic
President and Congress chosen to heal the
wounds of the nation.-N Y. World.

BUSINESS of all kinds is assuming an
unwonted liyeliness in our midst. Our
hotels are filled to excess and many ap-
plicauts for board and room accolnmoda-
tions are answered negativcly-apply in
vain, can't be accommodated on any terms.
Money is plenty, all kinds ofliving mate
rial is very high and still ascending. La
Dor at the snmo time is being duly re-
spected and advance of wages somewhat
in pace with advance of prices in other de-
partments is the order of the day, and
very justly too, as the mechanic and la
borer must live, and he can't do it at old
rates. Prospects now favor one of the
finest seasons of business in all depart
ments ever known in the Grand River
Valley. Our farmers, too, arc looking ex-
ceedinglv bland over the prospective tar
if of highly remunerative prices for every
species of farm produce, as the signs
of the times seem thus far to indicate q
fruitful season at hand. May it prove so.

IT is noted fact that the citizens of
Grand Haven are not Indifferent to the
good work of properly beautifying their
homes with a well selected variety of
fruit and ornamental trees. The princi-
pal streets of our village are showing their
handiwork. Within the past three or four
years large additions of fine shade trees
have been added TO the long rows that
stand sentinel-like along the principal
side walks, and choice flowers and shrub
berry add greatly to the beauty and at
traction of front yards and gardens. We
notice several of our citizens are making
additions and improvements on their
premises, respectively, at the present time.
Let the good work 60 on. Now is the
time to look out for the desirable varieties
Of trees and shrubbery and plant out CO.
piously. Every tree thus planted shows
n man public benefactor-a monument
long after he ceases to do Of his mindful
ness of duty to himself and pOsterity.
We understand that Mr.. Cook, of this
place, is prepared to furnish fruit trees of
the choicest varieties on the most reason
