The Two FremOnts.
Which Fremont is it!

Can't tell one from 'tother;
I -ra Lest you might mistake.
i Don't you vote for either.
Il Greeley, Beecher, and that dog Noble,
have found another Fremont SO like the
other that you can not tell 'tolher from
which. The whole Democratic press and
party have been barking inthe wrong hole.
i There are two Fremonts! m x
One is as great a scape-graee as ever
gambled in Mariposa stocks. The 9TH
er is a psous Protestant. and a very prop
er young man and is going to be Presi-
dent some day if the reputation of that
other Fremont does not ruin him.

into That veracious sheet, will be found
"a, The following editorial announcements:
s4y- It appears by the pamphlet enti-
tied Col. Fremont not r oman Catholic" :"
which is published tn-day at the Tribune
Office, that there are TWO FREMONTS,
BOTH OF WHOM HAVE BELONGED TO THE
ARMY; BOTH RESIDED IN WASHINGTON,
that that Fremont who is the candidate
for President is not Mot Fremont who was
in the habit of attending the Catholic
Church." ..... .- -..-.-.-

In another part of the Tribune we find
that the pamphlet in which the discovery
was set forth is for sale at the Tribune
Office; and Mr.. Greeley says in relation to
it, that for several months past letters
have been pouring IN by thousands, beg
ging for something conclusive Oh the ques-
,ion whether Fremont is or ever has been
a Roman Catholic. The pressure has be-
come so great that we have finally issncd a
pamphlet on the subject which completely

been so much in want of such document
ican be accommodated. Price So per

Thus the whole question in dispute
about Fremont is to be completely dispo-
Sed Of; and all his followers "accummoda-

Nothing so ingenious in politics, says
the Argus, has been invented since the
facile hand of a well known politician, by
a dexterous clip of the scissors. converted
the BODY of Timothy Monroe into "good
enough Morgan till after election:
1t is twenty-five years since the two
dead Morgans were invented; and now we
have two live Fremonts in their place |!
Is not this developement? The hand
that clipped the whiskers of the dead
Morgans into resemblance, has parted the
hair of the living Fremonts in the middle,
so that the most practised eye cannot tell
them apart. Is not. that progress?
Yes, there are two Fremonts. One was
expelled from school, arrested for debt,
court martialled, cashiered, fought duels,,
brought in exhorbitant bills against the
government, fsticuftd a S-nator, was a
Romanist, and romancer. That is an
other man altogether from the one that
Weed. Greeley & Co. are rnnning for Off
ce. That one isa most eXem larv person,
who rose in rank without patronage is hon
est and truthful, a pious Protestan: in
practice, a statesman by intuition, cham
pion of freedom by Inspiration.
We understand that the Fremont who
is kept under lock and key by our friend
Isaac Sherman, Esq, is the false Fremont
The real Simon Pure" has been placed
under the charge of Col. Abel
For some time there was great doubt
as to which Fremont was the actual one;
and many ''friends of Freedom" are con-
,inualIy in pcrplexity, to distinguish them
apart. Adopting the rule of '.Sosis, in
the place of Moliere:
LIE veritable Amphitryon

it was decided that the true Fremont wa,
the one that holds the Mariposa grants,
in whose shares the political spectators
have ventured.
Yes, there are two Fremonts One of
them gave the pledges to the Know Moth
ing Committee that secured the nomina-
tion of the American Convention; The
other gave the plege to the Germans against
