FREMONT IN CALIFORNIA

FREMONT IN CALIFORNIA.
The weakness Of Fremont in California the State from
which he has borrowed his fame must be painful sub
jet OF contemplation his supporters here 1t is sign6-
can't California like Georgia and Carolina the scenes OF
his youth and Missouri the home Of his later years rejects
him almost unanimously. II knows him II has tried
him II has weighed hIm in the scales and found him
wanting II has tested bis character and found II dross
and not pure gold
When candidate for reelection, be received on the
l40th and last ballot only nine votes viz OF the senate
Adams now out Of the State De La Guerra now demo-
crat Foster do Lppncott do. or the houss-Carnes
out Of the State; Covsrubus, now democrat Hof,
do Abel Stearnes still supporter Of Fremont; Pco, do
Out Of Of his then supporters in the State two
alone now remain faithful to him
What strength Fremont has he draws from the know

be has chance, and goes for Fremont The Ere
mont clubs composed OF know-nothings The Sac
ramento State Journal Of August 81 in speaking OF the
republican State convention then in session in that
city, says:

ranks Tho convention IL necessarily fair reflex Of the
materials OF which the blaokepublcan party throughout
the State composed and quite impressed with the
conviction that ninetenhs OF them last years know

But while he is thus drawing from Fillmore what little
strength lay in the knownotbing party he does not draw
over the whole body large number Of citizens national

COLONEL FREMONTS POSITION BEFORE THE
COUNTRY.

We publish below card from Mr.. McMaster editor of
the New York FreemaHs Journal to which invite the
attention of all who admire truth and honesty and
who despise hypocrisy and doubedealing especially in
who aspires to the highest Office in the gift of the
American people We repeat what have often stated
that Colonel Fremonts religion is matter of entire ind
ference to We not what he believes matters
of religion or what he does not believe We leave the
discussion Of such subject In with mans po
sition candidate for Office where il properly belongs
in the hands of the proscrptve knownohngs the one
side and in those Of the hypocca and not less bigoed
republicans the other But when candidates religion
made the subject of discussion and his friends represent
him to be thing to class of community and an
other thing another class and he meanwhile remains
silent in approval of the cheat feel it duty when
evidence ncontrorerible Is brought forward sten
political leader and his party in such disgraceul position
to lay the facts before the electors and let them make such
upon them at the ballotbox they may deem
just and proper This card appears in the Columbus

OFFICE OF THE FREENANs JOURNAL,
September 8, 1856.
SR No such article you refer has appeared in the
Freemans Journal would admit IT, even TO inure the
prospects of the candidate of bad party the black
republicans because the religion Of Mr. Fremont il he
any left has nothing do with his claims for Office or
should have nothing to do with Them at least
What is more to the purpose is the personal veracy Of
Mr.. Fremont II you get any one TO induce him to
say over his signature he to authorize his
friends to say for hmvz that he has prossed
be Catholic-then will publicly brand him liar as
know the whole story Of his life in Washington, and
know that daily and for years he proessed to be Cath
ole and nothing but Catholic that he prossed TO be
such when be married that he ayowed himself such
his brother officers in the army and TO in civil life
to Potestants and Catholics whom know and could cite
proofs. But j. O. Fremont dare not his name
deny fact that can have sworn TO by twenty dis
tinct aidays Of highly respectable people and
men, priests and lay Catholic and Protestant viz that for
years he protested himself Catholic and denied having
any other belief In any other religion.
who will lie about a serious fact in his own his
tory ought be denounced IL he preends for Pres
iden Of coalition black republicans and
Chocaw know-nothings If Col Fremont will that
he has given himself out Catholic will clap
the hot iron on him quick and sure.
At the time allow TO say that IL you a dem
ocra ashamed Of you seeking TO hurt Fremont
bad be is religious question But II you Hin
doo 1t Is perfectly in keeping with the rest OF your pnc
pies Yours, &c,
