I IS FREMONT A CATHOLIC?
We, too, are now authorized to say upol
Iauthority, which the Times would conside
satisfactory:

land Col. Fremont, were in Browns Hotel
Washington city, together, and that then anC
there, he (Fulmer,1 first saw Fremont. anc
saw him. then and there, daily and repeated,
$50 that there could be no mistake as to in
IDENTIFY.
I'd. That he (Fulmer) being told that HI
| (F'remontJ was Roman CathoIic-doubted /
Tor reasons not here necessary to name, ant
doubted it so earnestly, that it was affirmed
and re-aIhrlned; whereapon he, himself, upoI
being informed proof Of it existed in Col. Ere
mont's worshlpping, on the Sabbath, in the
Roman Catholic Cathedral, or Church, went
to that Church to see and satisfy himself of the
fact. lie there saw Col. Fremont enteI the
Church. and by or near-the door, cross ktxlSeIl
Nth so.cal'et Hoiy Water-as he entered, and
he Fremont then pasaed up the centre aisle
of that Church, to slip or pew not far from
the altar, or Rssce where the Priests were,
| l0zea he (Fremon) again crossed himself and
took his place.
Sd. That he (Fulmer) witnessed 70 tme

upon he (Fulmer) left. s.
4th. That, on the same Sabbath, he dined
at the same public table with Col Fremont, in
Browns Hotel--at sort OF oval table, at
which he was distant from him Fremont on
ly some five or six perscns-and then and
there Col. Fremont, addressing those five or
SIX persons unknown to him CFulmer,) be

the august rites and ceremonies of the Church

view to impress them Herewith; and in so
public a manner that he (Fulmer) felt it prop
er to ask him, Fremont
''If he (Fremont) believed in Transub-
stantiatioii,'-
-whereupon he (Fremont) asked,-
what (Fulmer,) understood by Transub-
stautiation?''
when the conversation continued sub
stantlaily as follows:-
FULMER.-l understand it to be the belief,
that the eoafer t0ltscb the Roman Catholics use
The Sacrament, as Substantially conuertet 5y the
Priests into the body Of Jesus Christ Do YOU
BELIEVE THAT? I /
FREMoNT-I do. 14a
FULMER-Dld Christ ever have more than
one body?
FREMoHT-No. He had but one body.
FULMER-Do you believe that the body
Ghrlst was craeitied in was laid in the sepul-
chfe OF Joseph's Tomb?
FREMONT Il DeI1cEU -zt t~-4-t-.
FU1MEE-Do you believe that body after the
resurrection was the body he ascended to
Heaven with? & -1rs
FREMoNT.--I believe it was.
FULMER.-Then what kind Of machine,
hook or knife, or pressure, does Bishop or
Pri st make use of to obtain the body christ
to convert into waers at pleasure or the whole
world?
FREMoNr.-Excited,a and appearing angry,
made no reply, and in seeming Indignation left
the table. 1a
Now here are the points-to take issue
upon.-and ''by authority" we affirm tins
conversation and this scene to be true. As
the Times has spoken ''by authority" of Fire.
mont through the Editor,-we await the reply
OF Fremont himself l6-when ii den ed, we will
sutstantiate these facts 10y oath, or affidavit,
and thus add to them that sancuty.
