THE TWO EREMONTS.

In the New York Tribune of the 9th inst the following
announcement appears
several months past letters have been pouring by
and thousands begging for something conclusive
the question whether Colonel Fremont has been
Roman Catholic. As do not believe that Protestant
is necessarily any better than Roman Catholic, have
been inclined make light Of the matter But the
has great that have finally issued pamphlet
the subject which completely disposes Of 1t. Now, all
those who been much in Of such document
be accommodated. Price per thousand, So"
In another part Of the issue Of the Tribune
find the following
appears by the pamphlet entitled Col Fremont
Roman Catholic which is published to-day at the Tribune
Office that there two Fremon both OF whom have be-
longed the army both resided in Washington that they
resemble each other and that that Fremont who the
President is that Fremont who the habit
Of attending the Catholic church"
Nothing be plain explicit than the above
All the mistakes confusons and contradictions in regard
Col Fr6monts religious belief have arisen $50 says the
Tribune from the circumstance that there are po Ere
mon both of whom have been in the army and that they
resemble each other Fremont No. (agan says the Tri-
bune) has resided in Washington and while resident Of
this city twas in tho habit of attending the Catholic
church
Beyond the simple fact that Fremont No was in the
army there is not syllable OF truth in the thus
mpudeny put forth by the Tribune Captain s L. Ere
mont the gentleman alluded to by the Tribune entered
the army in ls4l and continued in the service until $40
He stationed at Washington resided in this
city He may have been in Washington for few days at
time but have yet to meet with the first person who
him enter any Of Catholic churches Captain
Fremont resigned his commission in the army in $40
took up hi, residence in North Carolina The Wilmington
Journal published in the city in which Captain F. now
resides has the following notice OF this wretched desper
e1pedent Of the black republicans relieve their
didse from the humang position in which his misrepre
sensations and preysricstous have placed him:
"TaE BLkoE-REPUBIoks LIETbe fact Of Col. Fremonts

and double dealing proved BY allowing his friends

cradle expedent OF saying that the Catholic Fremont was
Captain s. l.. Fremont, resident Of this place. and
they have the erontery say that he Captain Ere
monty resembles the notorious Colonel
Captain 8. L. Fremont Is not now, and never was
member Of the Catholic church. There Is no shadow Of
sons resemblance between him and the
ddate. II hardly possible for two men to look more I'M

contempt for the Colonel because he knows him to be CON
temptible."
