Fremont's Organ-What IL says.
We have already alluded to some OF
the delectable sayings of the Ne,o Nation,
Fremonts own particular organ. 1t
must be credited with frankness, for 1t
confesses that the Fremont movement is
; due solely to personal hatred of Presi-
dent Lincoln, and virtually admits that
It has little TO do with principles, or
principles with it. To crafty purely
personal feelings it is proposed to do all
. possible to throw the country into the
hands of the copperheads. That is the
new Ayle patriotism. t't 10
We have already quoted the New Ma
sion's statement that "there is SO little
difference between this (the Fremont)
party and the democratic party that it
would be easy to adopt common ticket,
which would sweep everything before
it," Here is another more recent and
still more emphatic invitation to the
oopperheads; Id q
son to the common enemy Down
with Lincoln such be our battle cry
Let there be but two parties; let all be
for or against Lincoln' .al
Here is its explicit awowal Of what
gave birth to the Fremont movement:
"Lincoln cannot hope for the support
Of the new party, for ITS birth as due to ats
hatred of Lincoln and the present admin
d istration." ,.gr -44 .t.- --
But the copperheads can have the sup
port of the new party" especially If
they see fit to accept Fremont as their
, candidate. But how about Mcclellan ?
Says the Fremont organ: a a, 81.
"Without reckoning the extreme youth
of this candidate, his name has become,
y whether Justly or unjustly SO identified
with doctrines that are utterly repug-
nant to the western people, that FIRE.
mont himself, had he the desire to do so,
would be unable to induce his friends to
vote for Mcclellan" @t @&
1t is deemed necessary, also, to dispose
Of Grant. This might be generally con-
sidered a difficult job, except on the
ground that Grant would not accept the
nomination. But Fremont's organ dis
poses of ahim without trouble. The
truth is, he is no general he is a hum
bug, dead failure. Says the "organ" ::
"Grant has been mentioned, and he,
In fact, belongs to the democratic party;
but before the Fourth of July Grant soiH
hare DESTROYED himself By his o,en Wundeys
end incapacity. What will then remain to
be done Suppose that Lincoln and
Mcclellan obstinately persist; then we
shall persist ALSO" w 2.
And again:
''Grant is the completest and dearest
failure of all the many blunders made
by the Administration. Halleck was
worthless, but almost harmless. Grant
is still more worthless, but does still
more harm. As we have said from the
beginning, Halleck was SO used up by
public opinion that the administration
felt the need of freshening itself up by
q popular name it was then that Wash
burne appeared like deus er n,ach'''a,
with his Grant, whose popularity had
been designedly kept up at the expense
of truth" .ey3
And once more: eaIa
( "If Grant does not take Richmond by
the fourth of July, it is clear that the
administration with guilty design, has
abused the credulity of the people, and
J that Grant, through stupidity or malice,
! has been the accomplice of a disloyal
maneuvre, with the aim of assuming
the supreme command Of the army, and
of procuring in exchange Lincolns re-
election; in this case, good sense and
the loyalty of an indignant people will
dispose Of two guilty persons, in spite
of the gold of contractors and Lincoln's
4 patronage"
is These are some delectable specimens of
Fremontism, and it is no wonder the
copperheads are in ecstacies over the ar
ticle. 1t is certainly equal to anything
of their own manufacture. e
Will the democrats accept Ere
mont? Perhaps so, since peace demo
erat writes to the New York News as
follows ts .ztllfd 6ns
"If am to vote to defeat Abraham
Lincoln, and not for q principle, l
ihink Gen. Fremont is the most availa-
le man. a9 q EaaEt etrsa 1e p
Now as it Is perfectly evident that
~ one who votes with the copper
- ds, is not to "vote for principle, " the
ument applies. s4
t all events, if the democrats" so
ed, do not "take in" Fremont, it will
be from any too excessive modesty
