1353 - L Apr. 5; ed: 2/1 - The NEW NATION, a new newspaper started in
behalf of Fremont, has a Washington correspondent. Like most of the
Bohemians who write from the capital of the country, he occasionally
endeavors to render his lucubrations somewhat spicy by means of a new
sensation. This man informs the readers of the NEW NATION "that great
events are seething in Washington and are ready to burst to the light
the instant the people move." -
a
LEADER:
"The NEW NATION is quite orphic in its style. Possibly it intends
to have the public understand that the PATHF INDER is to have a grand
ovation of Congressional applause which is to come forth as an unpre-
cedented outburst! By hanging around the ante-rooms of politicians
and eavesdropping the sagacious gentlemen whom the people send to Wash-
ington as their servants, this sensational writer has discovered that
the strength of Mr. Lincoln in the country at large, is a wind bag that
needs only to be punched to collapse. After this revelation we shall
be looking for the inauguration of a punching campaign.
"In the meantime let the nation watch with all commendable diligence
until this atmospheric phenomenon shall duly take place. We should like
to see politicians properly stimulated, even unto legislative wisdom.
But we would rather forego the startling military disaster than to have
an unprecedented outbursst from Washington. The latter can be survived;
the former may prove disastrous." (11)

1392 - L. Sept. 17:2/4 - In a letter to the editor, E. Cluseret says
that three individuals without means, proposed to publish his newspaper,
NEW NATION, under certain conditions. They did not fulfill them and
created debts ruining the newspaper. Then they declared that the news-
paper belonged to them. Was this rational? "I am a very unimportant
personage in comparison with Mr. Fremont, who has boasted to me that he
could stop the course of justice for five years in New York in his own
favor; but I doubt if he can stop that of public opinion." (5)

1591 - L June 17:2/1 - The NEW NATION writes regarding the Fremont and
Cochrane party that there is so little difference between them and the
Democratic party, that it would be easy to adopt a common ticket.
"The NEW NATION is right in saying there is no difference between the
two parties. They are alike as two peas, as the two Dromios, or as one
body with two faces that resemble each other." (2)
