Make Room for Bennett Again.

Bennett is in many things, a most infamous scoundrel, but he manages somehow to make his scoundrelisin and his interest run in the same current. His interest now is to elect Fremout; consequently he will do or say nothing that can lessen or injure his prospects. Whatever he says, therefore, in connection with his candidate for the Presidency, is to be regarded as good evidence in the hands of his opponents. Having said this much, we wish to call attention to the Monstrous fabrications that are got up by political knaves and palmed oil'upon an unsuspecting public as truthful biographies ofFrcinont. Speaking of these, the IlcrcM says: The so-called lives of Fremont, with one exception, are execrable; they are beyond example the most atrocious attempts at murder that we have ever seen in the way of biography. There has been one written by a Mr. Bigelow, and another by a Mr. Upham. We have looked into these volumes, and really cannot conceive that it would be possible to produce anything more calculated to injure and weaken the candidate. Bigelow dives into the most absurd and ridiculous recearches, vaking and scraping up all sorts of private matters, apparently for the purpose of giving material to the enemy; for the very events tlpon which have been based at least one-half the personal assaults which have been directed against Colonel Fremont, have been first given in this book. Block-heads should never be politicians, particularly among an in-telligent-thinking people like those of this country. A Big Boat Race at Boston -Forty tbqQsand people gathered at Charl» River, Boston, to witness a boat race between the New York Metropolitan Regatta Club Boat, and the Carleton Sand Gove Club Boat, of St. Johns, N. B. It cainc on Saturday, the 20th. At the start a tremendous .rain storm set in, and a wild time of it they all had. The rain came and the wind hlew a hurricane, and both boats came near swamping. The St. Johns boat, having made six miles in forty-two minutes, only one minute ahead of the New Fifty thousand dollars were said to have changed hands among the spectators on tho result. - -- ■ •
