What Rejecting Men Think.

We have been kindly furnished with the follow
ing extract of. a letter from gentleman residing
in one of the New England States, to friend
here, dated August goth. The writer is gentle
man of great moral worth, and has been highly
honored by the people of his own State. He
writes thus: ..... ..4
/ greatly prefer him Mr.. Fillmorel to any
| other candidate, for the same reason that Henry
Clay on the 9th of March, 1862, said he preferred
him to either Mr.. Webster or General Scott, be-
cause "he has been tried and found true, faithful,
honest, and conscientious" / do not like these
sectional parties. No good, but much evil,
| think, is likely to result from them The hostile
array of section against section is not calculated,
| in my opinion to promote the union, harmony, or
prosperity of the American people.
do not like the nomination OF Fremont. He
is almost entirely desttste of Legislative expert
ence-has had no statesmanlike training, and /
am unable to perceive any qualification he pos
sesses for the high and responsible office Of Pres
dent of the United States His lie, too, has been
life of mutiny and resistance to established au-
thorty. He could not get through college without
expulsion. He could not get married without an
elopement. He could not serve twenty days in the
Senate without having fight with brother Sem
ator for words spoken in debate! And he could
not serve in the army without being court-martial-
ed and found guilty Of mutiny, dsobedience of or
ders and nsubordination Such candidate, in
the hands of sectional abolition party, controlled
she would be by George Law, Thurlow Weed,
and the Wall street. brokers, in whose hands he
seems now to be, would, if elected, have the most
violent corrupt, and disastrous administration it
is possible to conceive of
1t is doubtful, too, whether he is eligible to the
office of President, whether he was born in or out
of the United States. Who can tell 1t is equally
doubtful whether he was not up to the time of his
being nominated for that Office, Roman Catholic.
If he Yas, and has since changed his religion with
a view to get the Office of President, that fact is
not calculated to recommend him to sensible men
for it.
Whatever preferences and objections the writer
has in respect to the different candidates, he
has as yet taken no active or decided part in
the Canvass being of that class of conservative
New England men who think for themselves, and
are more felt than seen in the political world. He
may be taken the exponent of tens of thousands
of sedatc, demure, sober, rejecting men, who care
more for the country and its peace, harmony and
prosperity, than they do f.r any party, and who,
when the election comes en- will cast their votes,
as all upright and truly patriotic men should, for
| him who has been tried and found true, honest,
capable, firm and conscientious.

Another Witness.

John w. Jarboe, Esq, of No. 10, Columbia
street, New York, writes letter to the New Jer-
sey Standard, in which he states that he knows,
of his own knowledge, that j. G. Fremont used to
be Romanist. In relation to the statement that
I" Colonel Fremont has said that he has never been
inside Catholic church but twice in his life, once
in Washington, and afterwards in Paris, he speaks
as follows:
"Now to the point i hereby deny the asser-
ton, on authority-my authority being gentle
man engaged in one of the large insurance Offices
in New York, and holding responsible Office in
the same, and whose high moral position is such
that his veracty is indisputable and unquestion-
able; and whose name, together with the Office with
which he is connected l can give, should there be
| any questioning the truthfuness of my assertion.
This gentleman has distinctly and positively told
me- on several occasions in the presence of several
gentlemen at the time that while in California he
| became acquainted with Col. Fremont, and k,,ous
him to be a Roman Catholic.
"He also positively told me that he had seen
him (Fremont) time and again, on the Sabbath,
and on other occasions, attending the services of
the Roman Catholic Church--and furthermore,
that while he resided in California, during or pre-
ceding Congressional nomination, after he (Fre-
4 mont) had served as Senator in the United States
| Senate, he sought the nomination of Congressman
| for the district in which he resided but failed to
| get t-solely on the ground, as the gentleman as
sured me- of his being Roman Catholic. And
also, to make good his assertion, this gentle
man states that there are several prominent poti-
clans now in New York, who were in California at
the time, who can corroberate his statement, and
whose names he can mention at any time when
necessary SO to do. The general opinion and be-
| lief at that time was that Colonel Fremont was
true and devoted Roman Catholic"'

The Prospect.

The New Orleans Bulletin publishes the follow
ing letter from this city, with the remark that, as
speculatons are the order of the day, we give the
following from friend in Washington, than whom
there is one better posted up in the politics Of
the country. He writes us familarly as follows

munity, than cotton" to Fremont and his nigger
worshippers. But there is third man they can,

that Of course, is Fillmore. True, he has been
nominated by the Know-Nothings, but knowing
him as l do, If he was nominated by Belzebub and
his imps, it would not prevent me from supporting
him.
say to you that Fillmore will be the next Pres
ident, which result honestly believe, is the only
thing which will again render us an united and
contented people. His success would be far more
powerful blow to the Abolition fanatics of the
North than the success of Buchanan. II would
literally destroy them as formidable party.
But, let me state my case as regards Mr., Fill
more. Fremont, Of course, win not get a single
Southern electoral vote, and it therefore requires
the loss of only twentynine votes in the free States
to defeat him. Pennsylvania will give twenty
seven and California four against him, to certain
ty, and that is enough, without anything further !;
but besides these, he cannot carry Maine, Connec-
ticut, New Jersey, nor Illinois, with great doubts
as to New Hampshire, Indiana, and even Massa-
chusetts. With three tickets in the field, Mr.. Fill
more win probably carry New York, where won

for Pennsylvania and New Jersey are highly fat

An American member Of the United States
Senate received by the last steamer from Calfor-

Democrat of great political sagacity, and who
writes as follows

Organ:
We had q very exciting time here last week. On
Friday week the families Of John H. Blondell, Capt
Boarman, u S. N, DR.. McSherry and Geo. Dale,
all refused to go to church, because the priest
Father Kinney, was drunk Father Kinney in
consequence communicated the whole party
On Saturday DR.. McSherry took the KEY nf the

him for it. DR.. McSherry refused to give it up
The fellow threatened to shoot him if he did not
The Doctor persisted in retaining it. and the fellow
went away. The Doctor then had a warrant issued
| for his arrest. On Tuesday evening Dugan, the
jailor, and his son and four others, went to the
| priests house to arrest this man. They found
there the priest and two Irishmen. The priest and
one of the Irishmen presented pistols and snapped
them at the jailor and his party. They were both
arrested, and also the other Irshman, who assault
cd the party by throwing stones at them.
The cuprits were taken before Major Robinson,
presiding justice. lie required the priest to give
81 900 bail, and sent the Irishmen to JAIL
While the examination was pending three Irish
men went into Major Robinson's office. They were
searched, and one was found to have revolver,
another double-barreled pistol, and the other a
knife. They were all sent to Jail
The next morning the priests brother was
caught with another Irishman and both sent to
Jail
The next day, two fellows from Harper's Ferry
threatened to kill whole family. They also were
sent to Jail.
That night an attempt was made to break in the
windows of the Jail, and two scamps thus engaged
fired on the guard as they attempted to take them
They succeeded in escaping.
The next night, Thursday, as a party were out
serenading they heard there was fight near the
Depot They started for the place, and found Ma
jor Robinson beset by ruffans. They released
him and captured one Of the rogues, and the Major
commanded the whole party to ego and take every

There has been great excitement in Martinsburg
ever since the night of the first disturbance There
are twenty citizens on patrol every night l was
out last night, and on passing stone wall near
Ed. Pendleton's, saw man at almost every STEP
crouched down. They we're watching an Irish
house, where some kind of deviltry was going on
The beauty of the whole affair is, that all who
are taking active part in it, are either American
Catholics or Democrats-all the justices, consta-

part in the matter. The low Irish side with the
priest, but the American Catholics side with Nc

Frcmont's CathoIicism-More Proof.

The following article from the Charleston Cou-
rer neutral journal of high character, settles the
question of Fremonts religious faith while resi-
dent of South Carolina.
The Courier is one of, the most prudent, quiet,
and truthful of American journals and, as Free
monts birth and early life are matters of familiar
notoriety in Charleston, the statement which we
have extracted from its columns ia conclusive in
the premises. The Charleston Courier has done a
great public service in thus terminating contro-
versy which would never have existed but for
Fremonts efforts, through his friends to suppress
the truth about his religion:
JOHN G. FREMONT.
We are sickened and disguised with the misera.
BILE quibbng and paltry subterfuges of the partisan
press, blndly and servilely committed to Fremont
We have nothing to do with the details of elec-
tioneering expedients, nor do we care particularly
what may be the religious or irreligious belief Of
the renegade adventurer who is now receiving the
paudits of the free-ove, free-land and free-money
socialists and radicals of Northern States The
qualifications of John G. Fremont for the Presi.
dency would be neither increased, diminished nor
affected in anywse by any solution of the questions
which have afforded prolific themes for the extrav-
agant and irresponsible assertions of licentious
press we nave, however, regard Tor our duties
as journalists, and for loyalty to truth and good
manly, candid citizenship and for these consider
atons we refer to this very repulsive topic.
We are satisfied, assured and convinced, from
testimony that cannot be questioned, that John c.
Fremont has been Catholic, and, if it is matter OF
inte, est to any gentleman, the fact can readily be
proved.
We do not think, however, that Fremont
reckless and restye under all moral restraint as he
has ever been-will venture to deny this fact dis
tinctly and unequyocally
Gentlemen, however, have been drawn into de-
mails, which we feel assured would not have been
ventured on, under fuller information, and It is ev-
ident that Fremont has presumed confidently on
the indifference forbearance or failure in memory
of all who knew him in this city. The best feel
ings, instincts, and convictions Of all calm and
conscientious citizens, whether Protesants or Cath.
olics, have been outraged by the mode and details
of the discussion on this point as conducted by
partisan presses--the feelings of all Southerners
have been as rudely shocked, and we therefore
depart so far from usual rules as to notice this
pretended issue.
We conclude with assuring all concerned, on the
fullest conviction and inquiry that John @. Fre-
mont did aOoW and adopt the Catholic belief, and
the fact is so well known that many parties here
have been astonished at the denials put forth, and
this without reference to the considerations that
have induced any to believe such denials necessa-
ry or polite.
