MORE EVIDENCE THAT FREMONT is A ROMAN
CATHoMc-We have recently published several
items going to show Fremont's Catholicism. One
OF these was from the Cincinnati Gazette, and
was to the effect that Col. 4. crosses his snspen-
dcrs. Another statement was that in going to
the Ferry he invariably crosses the street. Nor
was this the worst Bishop Hughes, the great
opponent of Erastus Brooks, crosses the same
street, lust as invariably as Fremont. And now
we have the following crushing fact from the
Cincinnati Gazette:
More Evidence for the 7imes.-An enthusiasts
tic Fillmore American called upon Col. Fremont
last week, being possessed with iaudable curios-
ity to see the next President. He found the lit
tie Fremonters playing marbles on the floor, Jes-
sic was sittin by a stand, sewing, while the
Col. himself occupied an arm chair, where he
sat reading the Tribune with his legs CROSSED!
OF course the visitor left Disguised with the spec
tacle."
Be it remembered that these are admissions OF
Col. Fremont's friends The Cincinnati Gazette
is n violent partizan of that person. OF course
these statements are not to be scrutenzed with
that care and suspicion with which the asser-
tons of Erastus Brooks and the Sachem Ely are
met, but at the same time they need looking III
to- As friends OF Col. Fremont and at the
same time as Jealous Protestants, we propose
to examine, and if necessary to cross examine.
If our readers look at the Daily Evening Led
ger-they will rot have chance to look at 1t
a great while longer-they will see number OF
similar stories grouped together. But In all
these cases, the Grand Sachem adds, that he has
the name OF the person who can substantiate the
fact Now this is something tangible! If the
Cincinnati Gazette expects the people to believe
its stories about Fremonts crossing his suspen-
ders and legs, why let it furnish the name of the
man who can substantiate these facts. If these
witnesses fear the vengeance of the inQuisition,
let their names be placed in Sachem Ely's pos
session, and VIC will guarantee that he will new
er divulge them! Something like this is neces-
sary. 1t is painful to see the amount OF lncre-
dulity which exists in the community relative
to these stories. Large numbers of people do
not hesitate to disbelieve them, in spite of the
high character of the originators and vouchers.
Now let us have every fact duly authenticated
before we go any further.
2. S.-Wc have just received evidence OF
the good sense which instigated us to demand
the proofs of these assertions A gentleman,
acltose name zoe hare, has just informed us that
Col Fremont has got only one leg, and therefore
cannot sit with his legs crossed. III. asserts al
so that he never wears suspenders, but may pc
seen at any time in Broadway, hitchins up ms
pantaloons sailor fashion, as he walks. SO these
ISLANDERS are knocked in the head. So much ioi
the lack of vouchers. Will the Cincinnati ia

In New York City there are 100000 daily
sheets issued in favor of Fremont, morning and
evening, whilst the number in favor of Buchan-
an is not more than 10000 or $4,000, and of
Fillmore hardly SO much. 1t is encouraging to
Fremont that in the great commercial city of
New York, every respectable paper save two sup
port him; and that the aggregate circulation OF
those papers opposed to him is only $4,000 to
10000, while that of those in favor of him is
100000. This is certainly satisfactory index
of the pressure Of public opinion

partisans there feel il and know it. The South.

South, unaided, cannot elect him. And what is

does not respect or trust Buchanan. They haye
