BosroN, September PA letter from Gen.
Fremont, Withdrawing his name as candidate
for the Presidency, is published to-day
He says the success of the Republican party
has become paramount necessity, as the policy
of the Democratic party signifies either separa-
ton or re-establishment with slavery. The Chi
cago platform is separation and McClellan's let
ter is establishment with slavery. The Re-
publican candidate, on the contrary, is pledged
to the re-establishment of the Union without
slavery, and however vacillating his policy may
be, the pressure of his party will, We may hope,
force him to il. Between these great issues
think no man of the liberal party can remain in
doubt. l believe / am consistent with nv ante
cedents in Withdrawing. Not to aid in the tn
umph of Mr. Lincoln, but to do my part toward
preventing the election of the Democratic can
ddate
Gen. Fremont thinks Lincoln's administration
has been, politically, military, and financially,
failure, and that il is not necessary that Its con-
tinuance is cause of regret for the country.
In concluding he saws:
United, the Republican party is reasonably
sure of success; divided, the resul: is at least
doubtful"
Gen. Fremont gives his reasons more fully IN
another letter published to-day.
