We publish in another column the letters of
John G. Fremont and John Cochrsoe, with
drawing their names from the Presidential
contest. Mcclellan aud Lincoln are now the
only two candidates in the deld and the coun-
try must choose between them. We have never
expected anything of the Cleveland Conven-
ton, and have always supposed that 1t would
end just as it has. Until our politicians be-
come honest enough to sacrifice pelf for prin.
ciple such an independent movement cannot
succeed. Had the Cleveland Convention
passed by the politicians, and nominated Lieu
tenant General Grant, as we advised. the re-.
suit would have been very different. AS it is,
Fremont may thank bis friends for inducing
him to resign his major generalsbip and for
putting him in very unpleasant position.
The leading men Of the republican party,
who were secretly pledged to support the
Cleveland domination, have all eaten humble
pie, aud cow making speeches for Lincoln,
as we predicted they would do weeks ago.
Greeley led of, in spite Of his Tribune articles.
Chase followed, IN spite Of his being kicked
out 81 the Cabinet Pomeroy marched at
Chase's heels in spite Of the Pomeroy circular
Wade brought up the rear, in spite Of the Wade
DAVIS manifesto. All these recreants are now
working and trying to win votes for the can
diiate whom they have denounced as "a
tyrant," "usurper," "despot," "imbeciIe" and
failure" The party lash and the public
piunder have convinced and converted them.
They have saIr.dced their regulations for con-
sistency and integrity, previously more or less
established, for a doubtful mess OF pottagc.
Fremont sorcassicaily says:-"The Cleveland
Convention was TO have been the open avowal
o. taat condemnation which men had been
freely expressing to ench other for the past two
years; but IL the uncertain condition OF affairs
leading men were not found willing 10 make
public q dissatisfaction and condemnation
which could have rendered Mr.. Lincoln's nomi-
nation impossible, and their continued silence
and support established for him character
among the people which leaves now no choice"
1t is due to Mr.. Fremont to say that be is the
lest republican who returns to the support OF
candidate he despises. II there have been any
bargains, Fremont appears not to have shared
The profits. He does not act the cowardly,
treachcrous and bypocritical part OF Greeley,
Chase. pomeroy, Wade, Opdyke and the rest.
He does not deny bis principles and eat his
own words. On the contrary, he says distinctly
that be does not withdraw ito aid the triumph
OF Mr.. Lincoln" He adds, most emphati-
caliy:---"In respect to Mr.. Lincoln continue
to hold exactly the sentiments contained In
my letter Of acceptance l consider that his
administration has been politically, militariy
