The national era. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1847-1860, 1856-07-03
COLONEL FREMONT.
WASHINGTON. June %, 1885,

WASHINGTON, June %, 1856.
Mr.. EDITOR: 1t has long been a subject of
regret that no mans name can be presented to
his fellow citizens for their SURFACES to office,
but that private ISLANDERS must be used to blot
his character, ] know you have cfeH dspre-
Gated this venal practice of the press of the
country.
In an Administration paper of this city I
noticed yesterday an editorial, in which Colonel
Fremont is charged with having been educated
by party of Catholic ladies, and is indebted
to them for benefactions which he is willing
now to forget, by turning anti Catholic, and
spurning the hand that fostered him. Now,
sir, have known Colonel Fremont for thirty
years. received together with him my first clas-
steal lessons from the same source, and state,
upon nay orn personal knowledge, that the
whole editorial referred to is unfounded in
truth, and the editor has been grossly imposed
upon by his informant,
What Colonel Fremont's religious views now
are, do not know, and do not care for whatever
they may be-Romanist or Protestant-if he is
q good citizen, this is all of his accountability
to his fellow citizens. But, if there is quality
to which Colonel Fremont is particularly emit
tied to lay claim, it is the noble one of graft
