FREMONT AND HIS FRIENDS.
" The name of Col. Fremont has been con
nected with the house of Palmer, Cook & Co.,
in the financial operations of that concern.
The only connection between this banking
house aud Col. Fremont is in the Mariposa
estate. They are interested iu that property.
Messrs. Palmer, Cook& Co., advanced funds
to carry on the suit for the recovery of the
Mariposa estate, for a certain portion of it, if
successful. Palmer, Cook fc Co.'s portion
was cut up into several shares and sold to dif
ferent capitalists for certain sums advanced to
meet law expenses, &c. Palmer, Cook & Co.
became in this way Col. Fremont's bankers,
and this is the only interest he has in that
house.
Tl e above extract from tin Mnoncy article
of the New York Hera Id of July 5th, deserves
more than passing notice, its evident inten
tion is to shield Col. Fremont from the odium
of his connection with Palmer, Cook & Co.
But ' truth is mighty, and public justice cer
tain," and Col. Fremont is about to reap that
retribution that a discreditable and dishonor
able association sooner or later brings. IIe
has been the creature and subservient tool of
Palmer, Cook & Co, for ...five jcarsj After
his signal and ignoble defeat in his effort at
re-election to the U. S. Senate, in the spring
of 1854, (in which body he served less, than
three weeks, abandoning his post, . of duty for
a whole session to electioneer for a re-election)
he became the pliant instrument of Palmer,
Cook & Co. ' To enable them, through the in
fluence of T." Butler King to get" a beef con
tract from ' the Indian Commissioners, - ' he
agreed to fell out his capital iu the Senatorial
contest, to that gentleman, who thereupon ob
tained tbe contract for him. Joe Palmer was
appointed by King and Fremont to carry out
the political trade, 'and wa3 accordingly dc-:
spatched to Southern Ca!ifo""a wi1 letters j
from Fremont to his intimate friends, urging
them to vote for King, but his friends would
not agree to be sold Inns, and King was de
feated. In the meantime Fremont's Leef con
tract was being executed. Made without the
least authority of law, subject to the ratifica
tion of Congress, no money could bo received
upon it until that body made Ihe proper ap
propriation. This did not suit the necessities
of Fremont or Palmer, Cook & Co., then, as
Tiow, and as they always have becn;Lrd up
for money . It -was necessary to make a fi-
nancial operation, as Fremont had bought the
cattle on a credit, and some bcrt'ion of the cur-
chase money must be paid .
lo accomplish this obicct.. thev must cet
drafts upon the Secretary of the Interior, for
the amount of beef contracted for. fi "om tone
of these Indian Commissioner?.- ..To do this;
one of these Commissioners had to be corrup-

drafts, it was a base fraud to put such drafts j Selover appeared upon tLe'bTjrge, ihe "Tery

by which the nnwary might be imposed Upon
and cheated. The man for the deed was found
in Barbour, one of the Commissioners, who,
as it is alleged, by tbe promise often

Mariposa leads. Lfiglii capitalists began to
suspect these frauds, and it was necessary to
have Fremont in .Lowland to help them out of
their difficulties. The most Unheard of false-
hoods were told by Wright of the richness of
inese vein, wuica, ior a time, sausneu tnosc
who had invested their money in them ; but
at length suspicion of fraud became so strong
that Fremont, Wright and thoir confederates
had to escape secretly from England, (Fre
mont leaving hia wife and children behind
him, to follow on tho next 9teaaer as a blind
to prevent pursuit and arrest, before sailing,)
to avoid a prosecution for swindling, for which,
if they had been caught, they would have been
convicted, and scut to Botany Bay. In Eu
rope, before their escape, and afterwards in
the United States, those adroit financiers ri
oted in their ill-gotteu gains. Fremont is
said to have expended tweuty-fivo or thirty
thousand dollurs in Europe, in a few mouths.
The pickings of these operations were soon
exhausted in the fraudulent and unsuccessful
speculations of Palmer, Cook & Co., and by
Fremont's extravagances ; and, in a state of

represented that James King, cf William,
had sued on the 10,000 advanced on these
drafts, obtained judgment, aud bought his
Mariposa claim for lees than a thousand dol
lars, and unless Congress gave hiru relief the
time of redemption would expire, and it would
be entirely lost to him. -
Bv the mo:t dexterous nnd unwearying
lobbying, the bill passed Congress, and Fre
mont "turned up" again, a millionaire ne
redeemed the Mariposa claim : bullied Ccrco-

the claim of James King of William, into a
reduction of from twenty to thirty thousand
dollars on the amount due ; through his part

ans from whom Le had purchased the cattle,
and who had so patiently waited for their mon
ey, forcing them to take half that was due
them, or get nothing, (for. Palmer had ekil
fullv had the deed for the Mariposa claim
made to himself personally, and at the same
time took a confession of judgmcntfrom Fre
mont to his house for. upwards of 73,000 to
bear three per cent, per month interest, until
paid, so nothing could be made out of Fre
mont) and his creditors had to take whatever
Palmer, Cook & Co. offered, or nothing.
In this way most of the appropriations
male by Congress was secured to 1 aimer.
Cook dr- Co.; which saved them fr,ora bank
ruptcy two years ero. Since then, Fremont
has been their agent in the eastern States,
rcceivin" a thousand dollars per month from
Palmcr, Cook & Co., to enable him lo make
a show of wealth, and thus aid them in their
negotiations. Fremont, Palmer and Vriht
spent the' summer and fall of 1855 in the
Eastern Slates, trying to raise money on the
Mariposa and Bolton & Barron claims. But
their most strenuous exertions and expertness
failed them, ,ad Palmer . came home foiled.

POLITICAL PBEALllING.
If tho cler?y insist on their right to preach
politics in their pulpits, wc would suggest tho
propriety of Laving said pulpits ou the out
side of the Churches so that the Democrat
can reply. No Democrat can go into any of
the Protestant Churches uow-a-days, cxvrt
perhaps now and then an Episcopal Church.,
without having bis feelings wounded and hi
self-respect debased by paltry flings at Lispo-,
litical faith. Iu fact the linger of scorn is
pointed from the pulpit at Democrats, for tho
crime of preferring the Constitution and tho
Lnion to beward a higher Law and disunion.
