Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, Va. [W. Va.]) 1852-1859, 1856-06-27

TwEEDLE=pER VS.. TwEEDLE-DUI comes before
the New York public now-a-days in the shape
of a discussion between the Tribune and Ex-
press, about Col. Fremont's religion.
Tribune of Tuesday leads off as follows:
"0ur rcalers know whethcrwe met the charge
as to the marriage by a Catholic Priest, with n
shower of abuse and charges Of falSchood" or
Dot-whether VIC In any manner denied or
sought to conceal the fact of such a marriage
whether we have confessed anything that we
ever denied-and, in short, whether The Express
is ar is not the basest sheet that ever illustrated
human meanneSs and depravity."
Express of Wednesday %rejoias:
'Sparc us your praises, "brothcr Greeley
and we shall be happy! Those who read the
Express and the Tribune know how you SANDER
us, and everybody else, and everything else,
that is not part and parcel of you. Before your
readers oppose or condemn, let them read both
Papers-thc Tribune and the Express-and as
intelligent men judge between us. You stated
yesterday, for a bad purpose, a very great I'M
truth in regard to a, ar the, Fillmore National
Club. Your attention was called to the error,
and you declined 20 correct it. You printwhat
is called newspaper, and yet ignore the eX!s-
tence of a great party supported by at leaSt2O,-
600 of the freemcn of this CITY, and by l5u,0 o
frecmen in the State. You malign and SANDER
persons and parties, opinions and principles, and
yet talk of the meannGss dwL dcpreeity of your
nrighbOrsl Would that you could see your
selves in the eyes of other men, and you would
learn u little more OF charity"
The Herald reinforces the Tribune after this
manner:
"Thc most contemplate of the sheets which
disgrace New York, has opened the campaign
on behalf of its candidate by asserting that
Fremont is a Catholic.
This is denied, doubtless with good reasons;
lint CoO OnUfnSOr Indicate n NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. ont
rageously pitifll spirit-thnn an attempt to dis
parage a man on this ground. Why did not the
Fillmore organ say he had been brought into
this world by a Papish midwife? Why not in
quire whether or no he dealt with a Roman
butcher? Let the Fillmore man hurry to see
his tailor and ask him how Fremont's coat is
cut. Whether he smokes. One should be con-
%sistent, even in the part of an ass"
The Philadelphia News, gives what purPorts
to be the real facts concerning the bone of con-
%tcntion.
The facts of the case, if we mistake not, are
these: Col. Fremont, at a very carly age, when
but Ave or six years old, was taken charge of by
a society or association OF ladies, of the Cath
Ole denomination, in the city of Charleston, and
under their care and patronage was reared and
educated in n Catholic Institution in that city
We do not know that he ever was admitted n
member of the Catholic Church, but VIC think
there is no doubt of his being reared and edu-
Gated under Roman Catholic influence. The
fact that he was married by a Catholic priest, in
Washington, though his wife was then and now
is n Protestant, is undoubtedly true, and shows
that he affiliated with the Catholic denomination,
tho perhaps he did not actually belong to it
Another fact, in connection with these, may be
mentioned, to show that he has proclivities in
that direction. Ills oldest daughter was a short
time ago, and is, perhaps yet the inmate of a
Catholic Institution for the education of young
ladies. GrccIcy'S story Of his being reared DC,
apprchcnd, is n pure fabrication, without any
truth whatever to rest upon.''
QuEnY.-Why is it that Kit Carson, the Caws
and Camanches arc not consulted? They must
be.
