DRoPPIEG FREMONT AND TAXING UP FILLMoRE.--
A gentleman, who is a resident Of Hudson, receiv-
ed yesterday letter from his son in Allegheny
city, Pennsylvania, stating that on the evening
previous to writing, Fillmore and Donelson Club
was organized, and that the Fremont and John
ston men also organized club on the same eve
Philadelphia, was advertised to address the latter
club but that instead of appearing in person, that
gentleman sent letter advising the abandonment
Of Fremont and Johnston, and the endorsement
of Fillmore and Donclson and the writer states
furthermore, that Mayor Conrads advice was taken,
and that the Fremont Club marched over to the
Fillmore Club room, and ranged themselves under
the flag of Fillmore and Donelson.
II will be recollected that Mayor Conrad was
the President of the Fremont and Johnston Con-
vention ALBANY Statesman. ,Yg

The Work Goes ON.

The changes Of public sentiment for Mr.. Fill
moro reach US from all quarters. We have just
seen q letter from the southwark partof Kentucky,
which says Buchanan is fast falling, and Fillmore
rising, in this part of the State. Mr.. Fillmore win
certainly carry Kentucky.
Another from Michigan says: Since Mr.. Fill
more's return, he has been gaining wonderfully in
our State, and those best qualified to judge think
no will carry the State
Still another letter from Michigan, dated July
7th, in which tho writer ordered copies of Mr. Fill
morc's recent speeches, says: Considering that
al the political papers In this State are in the in
terest Of either Buchanan or Fremont, you may
deem 1t strange that any one in this State should
take interest enough In Mr.. FiIlmores election to
send for documents; but can assure you that he
has many warns friends and earnest supporters in
this State at the present time, and he Is gaining
new strength every day.
The 4th Of November will reveal the fact that
the people Of this confederacy are sick and dis
gusted with the corrupt and time-serving policy
Of selfstyled democracy, and that they are not
willing 70 trust the affairs Of State in the hands Of
the Black Republican disunion. party, with a man

How FRENosr WAS NoSrsArsD.--The Detroit
Free Press publishes the following extract from
private letter written by person whom II de-
scribes as "a distinguished gentleman nov in
Wasblngton--not Immediately connected with pol
itSs, but possessing large opportunities for obssr
yation." The letter was written to ono 81 the
prominent citixsus Of Detroit and, a. the Free
Press says, hints at some Of the causes--secret,
as yet, 90 Tar a. tho people are concerned--which
arc likely TO produce fatal explosion in tho Black
Republican camp" We copy the extract.
"Some OF the most prominent OF the members
Of Congress who are classified with the Republic
cans are greatly chagrined at the nomination Of
Fremont, and the rejection Of Mclean. Allison
of Pennsylvania, who took leading part In the
Philadelphia Convention, in favor Of Mclean
openly condemns the act as pcrilous mistake
He intmates as much as If it was the result Of Q
corrupt scheme between Thurlow Weed, of Alba
ny, Blair, of Maryland, and Greeley-and made
more with reference to the spoils than principles
or capacity. The whole plot was concosssd du-
ring the Christmas holidays, and it is more than
suspected that Old Bullion was consulted as to
the part he should act In the campaign. Fremont
was hit upon because of his wealth. and ability to
furnish the means of war, and that they could
avoid any attack upon him, on the ground Of hos
tlllty TO the Union, as ne mad voted against sew
ard and Hale, on prominent abolition measures,
when in the Senate" aat
We have already asserted that Fremont was
nominated for the reasons above stated. His name
was never mentioned as q candidate for the Presi-
dency until the rendering of the decision Of the
United States Supreme Court in his favor confirm
ing his title to tile Msriposa tract He was regard
ed by Weed and Blair and Greeley as enormously
rich, and they knew he was simple enough to be
gulled into the belief of any absurdity, no matter
how enormous. For those two reasons he was
nominated for the Presidency--not with view of
electing him. but for the purpose of depicting his
treasury and that of the " friends of free Kansas,
for the benefit of the " Republican wire-pullers'
We have known these wire-pullers for fifteen
years, and truly say they fare nothing if they
are not corrupt" IT. by any misfortune they
should succeed in obtaining possession of the Gen.
eral Government, we should witness such scenes Of
corruption in this city as never were Witnessed in
free country since the creation of the world.

Fremont,s Romanism.

The New York Tribune recently published a
communication from this city, under the signature
copy Of the baptismal record Of Colonel Fremont's
children, at the Episcopal Church of the Epiphany,
Rev. Mr.. French's,) in this city
That record is authentic. But what does IL
prove in relation to Col. Fremont's religions Alb
solutely nothing.
Mrs. Fremont lie Protestant, and has attended
the Church of the Epiphany But neither Mr..
French nor any of bis parshioners ever saw Col
Fremont there except on the occasion of his chill.
dren's baptism. This We confidently ASSERT on the
best authority.
And, moreover, We win state that the fact of
Colonel Fremont being Roman Catholic is as we'll
known In this city az Is the fact that John Quincy
Adams was Protestant. We have inquired of
twenty citizens in the last month, Catholics as well
as Professionals, as to Colonel Fremont's religious
belief and the answer has invariably been " he
is Catholic" Until the absurd pretension lately
set up for him by his Republican friends, no
one in this city ever heard that he pretended to be
anything else.
And now, to bring this vsxed question to 30.
luton as speedily possible, we call upon Colonel
Fremont hia'elfto state over his own signature,
whether he has not been In the habit of attending
St Matthews Roman Catholic church, in Wash

Mr.. Fillmore the great exponent Of American sem
tment, and who remember with gratitude the Pc
triotism and sound craftsmanship he revealed on
every occasion during his Presidency, are happy in
welcoming SO many new recruits to his standard.
The personal unpopularity of his Democratic rival,
his cold Northern disposition and his time serving
unmanly career, are also causes which naturally
strengthen Mr.. Fillmore in the South. Between

ciate of Tom Hyer. Rynders has denied the fact.
Hyer has far more reason to deny it. He has
much better standing than Rynders. To be sure
ho has fought prize fight, but he never forged
treasury notes, and never pushed man off the
dock at FishkiI, into the Hudson river, where he
sank and never rose again. @
Rynders is Buchanans chief fugleman among
