The Express is following up the charges made
that Colonel Fremont Is Catholic; and unless
the great pioneer soon shows his card, and denies
it, over his own signature, he may a. well hang up
his political fiddle for when it is generally believed
that he is Catholic BY the New England people,
he will be deserted by the Republican party en-
mdsse. / think know something of the Eastern
people, and would just as soon think they would
support P. s. Brooks for the Presidency as per-
son known to be q Catholic. To save himself from
complete annihilation, the quicker he denies the
charge, IL lie can, the better. OMoRos.
