FREMONT FOR THE PRESIDENCY.

The inevitable John Charles, the son OF
tries, and who has been described as :" the
Pathfinder who always lost the road, the
statesman who never wrote line or made a
speech, the soldier who never saw battle,
and the millionaire not worth Continental
d." has still his supporters for the Presi-
dcncy. The St. Louis correspondent of the
Enterprise speaks thereof in this wise:
The temporary success apparently gained by
the Conservative Radicals or Chase men. over the
Radical Radicals, or Fremont men, in the late
Louisville Convention, has induced two of the
German Radical organs of this cty-the Uestliche
Post and NcRe Zsit-to hoist the name of the
Pathfinder at their mast heads, AS their candidate
for President. They declared against Mr.. Lincoln
year ago, and their present action is declara
;i0u against Chase, Butler, and every body else
but their darling Fremont. Their motto is, dHt
Fremont, Gut aHilHS. Not that Fremont ia pecu
iarly the embodiment and representative OF
/" Rslcalism,'' for he is far inferior to several
prominent wuuld.be candidates. In certain quar-
tiers it is charged that he has relapsed into Dc.
mOcracy-his affeciionate social, political and
couvivial determination with the Democrats of ST.
Louis in 1901 are matters fresh in the recollection
Of every onr here: and the repor: that he has ac-
tua!ly made overtures TO General Singleton OF IL
linOis, and other Democratic politicians, for the
Democratic nomination for the Presidency, would
certainly seem to be anything but recommenda-
tons 10 the favor of the Germans of the country.
In spite OF these draw Oacks, Fremont Is the idol
of the German Radicals, and they have resolved
to support him through thick and thin, for two
objects first. 10 demonstrate their love for Ere
mont himself aud secondly to take revenge upon
Mr.. Lincoln. the certain nominee of the National
Convention. Mr. Lincoln incurred the Pathtind-
er's implacable hatred for his insult " TO that
sensitive gentleman in placing General Pope over
him in Virginia. and he incurred the mortal en-
mitv oithe German Radicals for refusing TO recog-
n;zc, them rs the only loyal party in Missouri
These Radicals hoist the name OF Fremont, anu
one of the features OF the programme is that they
affect 10 oppose Mr.. Lincoln, and support Ere
mont on accom-, of economy and purity in the ad
minIstraton ofpublic affairs. Here it is notorious
that General Fremont, personally and officially,
l. As unPrincipled and corrupt Us any man that
brcathcs the breath OF life. In Office, J. c. Ere
mont is vcral and prohigate to the last degree
In private life, it is said he is better. He has
no respect for any obligation he assumes; he is
faithlesS to every trust reposcd in him, and his
most solemn declaration his honor AS q soldier,
or his veraciIy rs citizen, are things utterly
worthless"
To the concluding paragraphs of the fore
going, rather forcibly expressed article, old
citizens of California, of which State the
Pathfinder was 1.-THE farorite son" (paraboli-
cally speaking), will render a free and full
assent. The idea of his ever becoming
President of the United States is too terrific
for contemplation. 1t is "not in the pins"
