Facts, proob positive. circumstantisl evideaee,
ugly things for those who come 10 contact w1kh
them. They cannot be ignored nor st asids By
senseless invective, or by yenomous vituperat3on.
Tho peculiar friends and conscience keepers Of Me
scctionalist candidate for the Presidency, driven
to desperation In their sndcavors TO create the I'M
precision that Colonel Fremont IL not, and never
was, Roman Catholic, arc now abandoning every
thing in the way Of rational investigation and cour-
teous controversy, and bctaking themselves 10
line Of argument more in keeping with their natu-
raj instincts-that Of personal caiumny, and the
logic of the fsh market.
Thus our Amiable brother Of the Tribune is tell
ing US in the sweet accents of his mother tongue,
that We are "villians" and the like,--but We beg
leave to assure him, that No neither intend 70 ose
temper nor to initiate his unclearness of spccoh
or his chaste, classic, and characteristic diction
While he and sucf a. be, are using these spithsts
We have other work to do. Important principles
are to be maintained vital issues arc Ct stake
life is too short to b filtered away on men whose
only aim is to evade, not 10 eliminate the truth
Our advice to the Tribune and the Fremont Bro
therhood at large, nevertheless is--try and explain
away the following record, to the satisfhction Of
the American people, or be willing to coufsss your
selves beaten In bad cause: Aa
