SEWELL L. FREMONT.
More E'roofs-Grecley cornered.
Grceley's double header has exploded
in his hand, and probably burnt his fin.
gers. The ligament connecting his Sia-
mese Twins has as little strength or con-
sisteney as Fremont's various religious
sentiments. The discovery our neighbor
of the Tribune made of two Fremonts.
and that it was the otner one (Sewell L.)
who was the Catholic, his brought u
pressure upon Greeley m,rr severe than
the first one he complained t. and be finds
that if John Charles is r.sr!y to betray
his creed and Lord, ani is,p silent, the
other Fremont is not. Here is the letter
of the new found Fremont-the original
can be seen by any one desirous to look
upon the signature of an honest Fremont:
