Missouri, Ernst Schmidt OF Illinois, Albert
Gilbert Of Colorado, Walter Il. shnpe o
Ohio, with the addition Of various other
names from the States above enumerated.
The animus Of this call is gathered from a
few quotations. The callers ~ declare that the
principle Of ONE TERM, which has now
acquired nearly the force Of Law, By the conse-
Grafton Of time, ought to be inhexibly adhered
to in the approaching elections. We fur
ther declare that we do not recognize in the
Baltimore Convention the essential condi-
tions Of truly National Convention. Its
proximity to the center Of all the interested
influences OF the Administration, its distance
from The center Of the country, Its
modes OF conrocation, the corrupting prac-
tees to which it has been and inevitably will
be subjected, do not permit the people to as-
eernb1e there with the expectation Of being
able to deliberate at full liberty" &c. This
cali indicates no preference US to Prcsiden-
ttal candidate, but 1t was understood, aud 80
proved, to be in favor Of Gen. Fremont for
the Presidency. 1t is also intlmated from
well informed authority, that this commit
tee, and those 1t represents, look, under Ger
thin contingencies, to the establishment Of q
Northwestern Con{ederacy or Democracy, by
means Of revolution, or any other means
which may present Themselves at the proper
time.
SECOND (oR A1DANY) CALL.

mocsacy, or rather such in6niteaimal part ol

mean to uphold the Union. who believe the
rebellion can be suppressed without infrins-
ing the rights Of individuals or Of q State,

the Union, and 'avor an amendment Of the
Federal Constitution TOR the exclusion OF
slavery, and who demand integrity and
economy in the administration Of the Gov
