~ i dead OH my friends, wish I could saw
slavery was dead. This declaration of General
fremonts IL surprise to his Republican friends
Fremont, who got ahead Of Lincoln in emanci
pating slaves in Missouri, Fremont. who was
then in advance of public opinion, Fremont.
who was the John the Baptist running ahead of
Lincoln's proclamation-this Fremont now takes
the ground that the property of rebels which he
would have conhscated at the beginning of the
war be will not touch at the conclusion Old
Abe had not been IN advance of some others.
perhaps but be had kept on the track when
others had got of Fremont accepted the Cleve.
land nomination. but did not accept the platform.
Fremont had fallen by the way he understood
oonhscation At the beginning Of the revolt, but
did not understand il ut the end of IT, In his
(Morton's) humble judgment, Fremont talked
nonsense when he accepted the Cleveland BOmi-
nation. He regulates his own position on con-
fscaton just as he repudiates bis time honored
sentiments on slavery. Vallandsham never
went further than Fremont
His Exceency said that he had once carried
Fremont's standard when there were very few to
follow him. Therefore it might be imagined
how Fremont's recusaney panied him and panied
every other loyal heart. How Fremont con-
sent to divide the Union party and thereby pro-
mote the election of copperhead as President.
How can this man whom all used 10 delight
10 honor act so like traitor? But he can do
nothing Let him rally his radical hosts Lin
coin and johnson have the public heart beating
for them II any man thrust himself in the way
of Lincoln be would BY the people be unceremo-
nousiy brushed aside Lincoln men voted for
principles Lncoln's nomination bad been made
long before the Baltimore Convention. Ii had
been made in the hearts of the people Hence
there was no excitement over il. People took il
As fOregOne conclusion Go among the people
and see what they say. They curse Fremont
aud hurrah for Lincoln.
Why should General Fremont lend himself TO
the uses of the copperheadsl Why should those
radical men, who used to be good Union men,
follow Those who now 90 off after Fremont
are worse than the ve-t copDerheads. His Ex-
celIency intimated that be would rather clasp
Democrat in his arms than radical German.
he declared himself bitterly opposed TO those
who supported Fremont, "a party and lndividu
ally At length be argued this question, but we
have stated his premises and his conclusions.
Our German friends can put it in their pipes and
smoke it, Aud we have no doubt they will.
His Exceency was an old Know Nothing, they
will remember.
His Excellencv concluded with the following
excellent Joke:
Here's to the Farmer and the Tailor. May

open and row all traitors up Salt river; and may
the Tailor brand it with his goose and wind il up
