A long letter from Fremont, accepting
his nomination, concludes as follows
If the convention at Baltimore will nom.
mate any man whose past life justifes g
well grounded confidence in his fidelity to
our cardinal principles, there is no reason
why there should co any division among
the really patriotic men Of the country.
To any such shall be most happy TO give
cordial and active support. My own de-
cided pi efeFence is 10 aid in this way, and
not be myself a candidate but il Mr.
Lincoln be re nominated, es l believe it
would be fatal to the country 10 endorse q
polic7 and renew a power which has cost
US the lives Of III ussnds Of men and need
lessly put the country on the road to
bankruptcy, there will remain no slterna-
tive but to organize against him every ell
ement Of conscientious opposition, with q
view to prevent the misfortune OF his re-
election. In this contingency accept the
nomination at Cleveland, and ss q prelim-
mary step have resigned my commission
in the army.
This was sacrifice that gave me pain
to take, but had for long time fruitless-
ly endesvored to obtain service. make
this sscrihce now only to regain the hber-
ty tf speech and leave nothing in the way
Of dischsrging to my utmost ability the
task you have set before me. With earnest
and sincere thanks for your expressions
Of confidence and regard, and for the many
honorable terms with which you ssquaint
me with the actions Of the committee. !

ADVANCE IN THE SUBSCRIPTION
PRICE OF THE LEADER,
Since the war has commenced, the price
ofwhite printing paper has advanced near
~ hundred per cent, owing entirely to
the scarcity Of cotton rags our type set
ting bill has increased one hundred per
cent; coal one hundred and twenty-five
per cent; glue, mOlasses, turpentine, oil,
ink and all other Ingredients that enter
into the manufacture Of the newspaper,
have advanced from forty to four hundred
Per cent? our telegraph bill has increased
300 per cent, and yet the subscription
price Of the LEADER hiss only so far ad-
Vanced from 25 to SO per cent. By sim
pie mathematical calculation it will be
seen thst there is no recourse left for 6

points, and raise the subscription.
