Religious BigOtryI Fremont Il
Catholic.

1t is proof of the narrow mindedness of
the factions, that have combined to elect
Fremont, that some of their leading journals
are greatly concerned to disprove that FREE
mont is practical Catholic. They all ad-
NIT that he was christened, reared, educated
and married Catholic; but insist, that in
fact, he has been an outsider, and that his
children have been christeued in the Epis-
copal Church, ofwhich the mother is mem
Der.
While we confess that it is rather good
joke that the saints should be thus caught
in trap which Sam will insist was no
doubt set for them by Pope Plus and Arch
bishop Hughes we are far from sanctioning
the mean and contemplate feeling which
would ostracise man for his religious be.

Bargail and SaIc-MOney can't
make n President.


JOHN C. FREMONT is q rich man. Ifmon-
eQ can buy votes enough he will certainly
be elected President. His late attempts at
bargaining however, have proved entirely
unsuccessful, and unless he exercises lit.
tie better financial ability, he will squandel
his whole Mariposa estate, without making
hundred votes by it. Mr.. Van Ripper, O.
New York, has lately been offered by Ere.
mont's friends the sum of FIFTEEN THOU
SAND DOLLARS for attempting to sell out the
fillmore National Club to Fremont and
Dayton. He received One thousand dollars
down. He was president Of the club ant
openly declared he would sell it for the lar.
gest price he could get.
In pursuance of this intention, Van Ri
per got small portion of the club together
quietly, taking care that they were the righ
kind of men for his purpose, and passed reso
lutions, abandoning Fillmore and Donaldson
and issuing an address in favor of Fremon,
and Dayton. The address appeared in
print. The other members ofthe club, con.
stituting a large majority of the whole, as
soon as they read the address were excited
and aroused. Another meeting was called.
There was large attendance. Van Ripper
was ordered out of the chair, denounced as
a traitor and perjurer, and barely escaped
being thrown out of the window for his base
ness. Strong resolutions were passed in
denunciation of this foul attempt TO sell out
the votes and independence of the club for a
sum of money. They further declared in
their resolutions that they would give their
unwavering support to Fillmore and Donal-
son-that they regarded Fremont and Day.
ton as the corrupt leaders of narrow, sec.
tional, disunion party, and that under no cir
cumstances could they be induced to support
the men or the principles of such q party.
They then adjourned to the st. Nicholas
Hotel, where Mr.. Fillmore made them a
speech congratulating them that the attempt
to sell them had failed
This transaction between Fremont or his
friends and Van Ripper, is one Of the most
disgraceful that has ever occurred in polt-
ical canvass. Bribery is crime. When a
man occupying the distinguished position Of
candidate for the Presidency, either himself
or by his friends, attempts to secure votes
by bribery, it becomes doubly censurable.
Do the Black Republicans have so little re-
gard for their own self respect-are they so
hungry for the spoils of ofice-are they SO
anxious to secure votes, that they will resort
to such despicable means as this to carry an
election! Is this their plan of conducting
the campaign! If SO, we can assure them
that their efforts will prove miserable fail.
urcs. There mcy be Van Ripper here and
there, who like Judas Iscariot, is willing to
sell his principles for thirty pieces of silver;
but the great mass fthe American people
have too much intelligence and integrity to
be bought or sold. In the end, the Repub.
licans will find that honesty is the best pol

Terrible Times in California.

San Francisco, California, is now a scene
Of disorder, riot and outrage, such as is sell
dom witnessed in our country, 1t will be
remembered that Casey who murdered King
was imprisoned by order of the city authori
ties in the Jail. TIE Vigilance Committee
congregated in great numbers around the
prison and demanded that Casey and Cora
should be given up to them to do with as they
saw fit. Their demand was granted The
city was wild with excitement. On one
side was the Vigilance Committee, and on
the other were the city authorities and black
legs and gamblers each determined to tri-
umph. The latest news from the scene OF
disorder is given below as follows:
New ORLEANS, June 25.
The Grenada brings dates from San Fran
cisco to June 9Th, received at HAVANA.
Casey and Cora were hung on the 2sd of
May. 1t was on the same day on which
King was buried.
The Vigilance Committee had arrested
several other desperate characters, including
the notorious Yankee Sullivan. The latter
committed suicide in his cell on the first of
June, in the Committee rooms, leaving a
confession touching the elections in San
Francisco.
The opponents of the Vigilance Commit
tee attempted to hold meeting on the I'd,
to denounce the Committee, but it proved a
total failure.
Several murders in the interior are repor
ted to have taken place.
Rumors were rife that Johnson would call
means into acquisitions to suppress the rev.
Olution. Nothing had been done as VET
These rumors, however, created much ex-
ctement throughout the State, and word was
sent from the interior that thousands were
ready to march to the assistance of the Com.
mittee. Sacramento alone offered to furnish
one thousand.
The excitement was on the increase, and
martial law had been declared at San Fran
cisco.
The Committee were determined on cor.
rying out their measures, and continued to
make number of arrests.
The opposition were organizing with 500
stand Of arms.
it was rumored they intended to attack
the Committee rooms which were strongly
guarded with two cannon before the door,
loaded with grape shot.
All the journals, excepting the Herald,
side with the Committee.

The Difference.

James Buchanan and John C. Fremont
are both identified with the Democratic par
ty; but there is difference between the
men. Buchanan is mild, conciliatory, al
ways making the welfare of his country
rather than Of his party, the rule of his ac-
tion. Fremont, on the other hand, is ultra
and bitter. His feelings towards the Whig;
may be inferred from remark of his: "Sir,'
said he, 81 have lived upon mule beef ant
grasshopper pies; but Wing principles sick
en- and disgust me more than either" Il
there man who ever bore the name o.
Wing, that will vote for such bigot!-Lo
