and there he leaves the ring.
THE service is continued in regular mar
riages with benediction, prayer, aud some
times the singing of mass.
From these documents and facts, thus
i authenticated, the following conclusions follow
1st That the council of Trent makes matri-
mony sacrament in the Ronlish Church.
ID That Roman priest cannot admins
ter a sacrament but to a Roman Catholic.
3. That Col Fremont, therefore at tue
of his marriage, must, or at least. have profess
sed to be Roman Catholic; and was, there
fore, sprinkled with holy water, and accepted
other forms and rites of the Roman Catholic
Church, as such as Catholic.
4th. That then he must have taken all tho
obligations of that sacrament, with the pledge
to educate his offpsring in Romanism
5th That in educating an adopted daughter
in the convent at Geogetown he carried ont the
obligation Of the sacrament.
But says the ''Indepsndent''-
''lt is said that daughter has been sent to
Catholic institution for education. So far
from it she has never beer sent away from homo
at all. bat has been eduuated By her own moth
er. E-e-a
This isa quibble. The statement was that
his adopted daughter was educated at tho
convent ON the nights Of Georgetown, and We
dare denial from Col Fremont.
/ If Col. Fremont, in view of the Presidency
has recently changed his religion, and only
but the fact is undeniabie. overwhelming and
crushing. that to be married by the Roman
priest, Father Won Horseigh, Mr.. Fremont
must have professed the Roman Catholic re-
. ligIon, and hence accepted ali the rules and
rituals of the Roman Catholic ChnrchI He
may have broken the sacrament of his mar
rlage within few weeks past, aud be NAV
have become a convert to Professionalism in
good faith, In order to win the American vote
but, there is record of Re.nanism, in the most
, solemn act of his life aud it cannot be got over
or got under; 1t cannot be tied down or covered
