terms, as they are likely to be the only sufferers from this ticket. It
will be managed in future alone with an eye to the _aid_ of Buchanan!

We take the following notice of Fremont from the Charleston (S. C.)
Standard, and consider it every way reliable:

"Mr. Fremont will be destined to play a distinguished part in
the drama, and his history and character therefore will,
doubtless, become subjects of considerable importance. He is
