The other objection to Fremont sd-
dresses itself particularly TO Americans.
It is alleged that he is Roman Catholic
The force Of this objection depends up
on It's truth or fal-ity. 1t is simple
question Of fact. The charge originated
in the New York Express, and rested
upon the declaration of Aldermen Ful
mer, who says that when at Browns Ho
tel. in Washington. in the winter Of
1854, he saw Col. Fremont worshipping
in Cl,holic Church; that he coneersrd
with the Colonel on the subject OF reli
gion. and that he defended he extreme
doctrine Of the Rnmsh Church. By ref
erence to the columns of the same Ex-
press, it is shown that Col. Fremont was
during all the time Alderman Fulmer 10.
Gates him q, Washington. on board of
ocean steamers. An examination Of the
register and cash books OF Browns Hotel
shows that Col. Fremont was not. during
the wears of 1852 ana 1853. a, that hotel
Here is conclusive, independent evidence
that Aldermen Fulmer Is mistaken -
This testimony is confirmed by Col. Ere
mont's denial of the whole story. The
archives OF tho Episcopal Church at
Washington show that Col. Fremont's
children had Protestant baptism. Mr.
Livingston, who was Col. Fremoni's
compa Mon across :he Rocky Mountains
SAYS he cnrried with him a Protestant
pocket Bible. lie presented his wife
with Protestant pra erbook before their
marriage. His rreceptor says that he
received Protestant education. Col.
Fremont says to every body that enquiries
of him, that he is and ever has been
Protestant. And yet. not only in the
absence OF all testimony. but after every
allegation has been disproved, those who
fabricated continue TO reilerate the false.

many intelligent. honest electors, who
would require better evidence TO convict
