THIS Niger worshiping Republican
party is a humbug on a grand scale, aud
its leaders are 'some" at ~humbuging
but of all the humbugs yet gotten up by
this Kansas-Screeching God-and-Lib-
erty, humbug Republican party, GREE
LEY's last humbug of the 1.-TWO Ere
monts" is the most transparent and sill
ly. Finding that the evidence that his
"Woolly Horse candidate, JOHN C.
Fremont, had once been a Catholic, was
accommodating so strong aud SO fast that
the charge could no longer be success
fully ~refu.ed, Philosopher GREELEY, OF
the Tribune, set his wits to work to in
vent some scheme to get the Maripoza
Spectator out of this unpleasant dilam-
ma. It would not do to come out and
admit that FREMONT lad once Den q
/ Catholic that would upset all the
false afidavits of bogus clergym en- that
had been manufactured in the I'i5wiae
office, and stamp with falsehcod all the
published denials said to have been au-
thcrized by Col. FREMONT himself.
There seemed to be but one way of get
ting GU OF the serape, viz: to %inanufac-
ture ANOTHER FREMONT, who,
like TuuRLow NEEDS Timothy Jenk,
ins, would answer for ga good enough
Morgan until after the election" and
make him a scape-goat to bear otflthe
sins of tho 'tothcr FREMONT! 1t was as
certained that there had been a Capt.
SEwELL L.. Fremont in the army about
| the time that JouN C. FREMONT be-
longed to it-that said Capt. Fremont
had been seen in W ashington City at
the same time that JOHN G. Fremont
vas in the habit of attending a Catholic
Church in rhut oity-aud furrherin9re,
tLat Capt. s.. L. Fremont, was yet
~"alive and kicking" and acting as Gu
periutendent of the Wilmington aud
Manchester Rail Road, making his home
at Wilmington, North Carolina. Ac
cordingly a pamphlet was issued at the
Tribune Office, asserting that Capt. Sc
WELL l.. REMoNTa and not JOIN G. FIRE
MONT, was the man that had been seen
so often attending the Catholic Church
at Washington 7City-that Capt. FRE-
MONT parted his hair in the middle, aid
so nearly resembled JouN G. Fremont
that it was difficult to tell them apart!
The following advertisement of this
pamphlet appeared in the editorial col
unns of the Semi-W Weekly Tribune, of
October IA: ..N ~.,A 2
at appears by a pamphlet issued at
1.-The Tribune office that there are two
Frcmonts, both of whom have belonged
to the army; both residents in Wash
ington; that they resemble each other,
ard that that Fremont who is the candi-
date for President is not that Fremont
who was in the habit of attending the
Catholic Church" o
Everybody seen through the hoax as
soon as the pamphlet appeared. Accor-
dinghy the other N. Y. Fremont organs
refused to c~ountenance the humbug of
Philosopher GREELEY, and pitched into
him right and left. They charged him
with having defeated Scorr in 1852,
and now he had made an old fool of him
self a.second time by getting out this
foolish pamphlet, which was virtually
admitting that Fremont IS a Catholic.
The effect of this pamphlet would be to
kill the Woolly Horse candidate as dead
as he had killed Scott in '52, and that
he had at one 'sfell swoop" upset the
nice pot of public pap that was in store
for the whole kit of them, and let the
sMaripoza" all run out! -"'0td Drab''

manufactured two-thirds of the Anti
Nebraska sentiment of the North, and
really brought the Republican party in
to existence? Hadn't he reported
more outrages in Kansas, shrieked loud
er and lied bigger, than all his accusers
combined? Accordingly, in the 1fi5-
une, of Oct. 10th, he took the boys to
task in the following style:

This single fact in the pamphlet will
change hundreds of votes. Let the
fools busy themselves about something
