Will the Democrats Nominate Fremont ?

Thai Gen. Fremont has made a loud bid for
support from all quarters OF he opposition, hi
letter plainly shows. The Democrats, having
forsaken principle are fighting, only for posi-
ton, power and spoils. They care not under
what leader they triumph, provided victory
can be secured. They would not hesitate to
take up Fremont IL by so doing they thought
they could win success. They are largely
committed to Mcclellan 1t is true, but what of
that The men who have descended in polit-
ical knavery to their level, will never regard
personal obligations or honorable commitments
at the expense OF party success. How Mr.
Fremont would regard their advances and
overtures we have no positive means OF know
Ing. The following,if true, is an indicative
straw which We clip from thes pecial Washing
ton correspondence of the Boston Daily Ad-
veriiser. We give it for what it is worth
IL is ascer.ained that Fremont's letter of
acceptance was submitted to q membsr of the
democratic National Committee before being
sent, aud was modified at that members re-
quest In several important particulars, the par
ticnlars, the paragraph relative to cenhscaiion.
Tor example, being framed in accordance with
his views, despite the opposition OF some OF
Fremont's radical friends" -f.rN

leaving no stone unturned TO embarrass Its
operations and to throw twigs In the way Of

from a truthful albeit traitorous heart, as fol.

"In spite Of the obloquy and abuse TO which
such IN avowal may subject us, trusting 10
time TO vindicate our wisdom and { rue patri-
otism, we distinctly aud frankly declare that
we belong to the latter class. We would not
say with Charles Sumner, that no war can be
honorable, no peace can be dishonorable,' but
we DO most emphatically affirm the present
war, prosecuted as it is by wicked admins
ration, IN wicked manner and for wicked
purpose, is unworthy of the support of liber-
ty-loving people,"

General Order:
Edward Cropsey, a correspondent of the
Philadelphia Inquirer having published in that
journal Of the I'd inst, libellous statement
on the Commanding General OF this army cal
culated TO impair the confidence of that army
in their commanding officer, and which state
ment the said Cropsey now acknowledges to
have been false, and TO have been based on
some idle camp rumor, it is hereby ordered
that he be arrested and paraded through the
lines OF the army with placard marked "Li-
heller Of the Press, !" and be then put without
the line. and not be permitted TO return.
The Provost Marshal General will see that
this order is promptly executed.
The Commanding General trusts that this
example will deter Others from committing
like offences, and he takes this occasion to no
tify the representatives of the public press that
whilst he is ready at all times to extend them
every fcility for acquiring facts, and giving
circulation to the truth, he will not hesitate
TO punish with the utmost rigor all instances
like the above, where individuals take advan-
tsge of the privileges accorded them to COM
municate ialsehoods, and thus impair the con-
iidenee which the public and the army should
have In their Generals and other officers.
