We are All Roman Catholics.

A gentleman Of this city, formerly occupying a
high office under the Federal Government, was
recently travelling on Northern railway in COM
pany with an officer of the army, Major M. A
passenger on the train entered into conversation
with Major M, and in the course of it informed
him that he had married the widow of Col. Fre-
mont's brother. Thereupon Major N. remarked
that the question of Col Fremont's faith was much
agitated at present. and inquired of the gentleman
whether the Colonel was Roman Catholic or
Protestant. He replied, He is Roman Catho-
lic"- and added, !" We are all Roman Catholics"
Such is undoubtedly the fact. They are all Ro-
man Catholics, and the man who will deny it after
the proofs adduced to sustain the assertion must
be destitute of the first elements of truthfulness

Fremont and the Democrats.

The New York News pronounces the statement
we published yesterday, from the Detroit Tribune,
in relation to Col. Fremont being offered the Dem
ocratic nomination by Gov. Floyd of Virginia, to
be false The New York Times also says that
"The only substance Of truth in the statement
was, that prominent and influential members of
the Democratic party were desirous of presenting
the name of Col. Fremont as candidate for the
nomination of the Cincinnati Convention to the
Presidency, and made known their wishes to him,
and that he was altogether disinclined to place
himself in that position, on account of his own
opinions and feelings being opposed to those
which he anticipated would control as they did
control the Convention and the nomination. That
such overture were made there is no question,
but not through the agency of the persons who
were implicated in the statement of Mr. Bates.n

Downright and Barefaced Lying.

The Boston Bee, the supporter of Fremont, in
its issue of Thursday last, says as follows
"No CHANCE FOR FILLMoRE-The Washing
ton Or0dn the national organ of the Fillmore par
ty. admts and in so many words states, that there
Is not the least chance for Fillmore. We give the
Organ the credit for never having hugged the alb
surdity of supposing that Fillmore in the event of
their being no chance (choice) by the people would
be carried into the House with any sort of show.
II now with commendable frankness declares Fill
more has no chance any way" &C., &c.
The scoundrel who indited the above libel
upon the organ must be the most accomplish
ed liar in Christendom. 1t is false in concep-
ton, in form, and in fact Every issue of the
Organ gives the lie to that reckless rascal's
statement We have ever maintained, and we
yet maintain, that Fillmore aoiU, in all proba-
bility, be elected by the people, or if not, that
he will be elected by the States through the
House of Representatives. We have never en-
tertained opinions nor given intimation of any
opinions to the contrary.
We did not suppose there could be man
found, of uch,ingrained mendacity, such utter
destitution Of every moral principle, and such
,barefaced impudence, as to publish such state
ment as the one we have copied from the Bos-
ton Daily Bee Of Thursday, the 4th instant,
and especially as its prompt contradiction must
have been expected

Fremont,s Romanism-More Proof.

The name of Professor Weir, of West Point, has
been cited by us in proof that Col. Fremont was,
and, if unchanged, is yet Roman Catholic. The
proof of Fremont's Romanism was his refusal to
receive from Professor Weir.an Episcopal prayer
book, or "a Companion for the Altar" upon the
ground that he was Roman Catholic.
This fact having been published, ]. A. O. Gray
ESQ, of New York, Fremont man, addressed a
letter of inquiry to Professor Weir, on the 25th Of
August, and the following was the reply:
WEST PoINT, August 81, 1866
DEAR SIR: have just received your notice of
the 26th instant, in which you request a correct
statement of the incident alluded to in an article
that appeared recently in the Troy Whig and
which, may add, was a publication of private re-
marks, made without my knowledge or consent.
The circumstance on which, presume, the ar
ticle was based, and which stated to you In the
cars was, that previous to Lieutenant Fremont's
first visit to the Rocky Mountains, he came to
West Point and was introduced TO me by mu-
tual friend, Lieutenant Scammon. / was much
interested in Lieutenant F. youthful appearance,
in combination with the arduous journey he was
about prosecuting beyond the bounds of civiliza-
ton, and offered him, through Lieutenant s., q
little book that had been recently published by the
Episcopal press but whether Prayer Book or
Companion for the Altar" cannot now say, for
it was some twelve or fourteen years ago; but it
| was courteously returned, with the intimation,
through Mr.. Scammon, that Lieutenant Fremont
,Oas a Romanist. This impression has always re-
mained on my mind and led me to make the re-
mark that presume has given rise to the article
| to which you refer.
| As should be very sorry to do an injury to any
| man, and, as you think a correction iE needed,
have no objection to your making what use you
please of the above.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
R0BT. w. WEIR.
JOHN A. @. GRAY, Esq.
Our readers viii perceive that Prof. Weir's let
ter sustains in every particular the statement made
in the Organ some days ago.

Stand to your man he can be elected. He is
twice as strong in the North as Buchanan, and
much stronger, or win be in November, than Fre-
mont Look at the great Whig movement for Fill
more Take the Americans and Wings, and they
can elect Fillmore, there is no sort of a doubt Of
that When Fillmores great and increasing strength
in the North is known in the South, the Southern
States will go for him. Every breeze from the
North watts to US the noise Of the tramp of the
Fillmore hosts and the clangor of their arms.

John Van Buren.

"The Hon. John Van Buren is at the West
doing good service in the cause. He spoke at an
immense meeting of the Democracy at Chicago,
Illinois, on Friday last. Illinois is one of the sa-
fest States in the Union for Buchanan and Breck-
inridge. The Democracy are alive and laboring
with zeal worthy of the great object in which they
are engaged"

cratic contemporary of the Richmond Virgin

sheet That press is the lesser luminary of
this administration---cn Of the "blind guides"
of the sham Democracy. It's editor is him
who edited his readers during the sitting OF
the Cincinnati Convention, 10y his letters sta
ting that Buchanan would finally get the nom
ination, as "a concession to the Free-soilers
of the North" We repeat this fact over
again, as it is the only instance in which we
ever knew him to tell the truth. Well, the
"faithless phantom" announces that "honor-
able" Gin what respect he is honorable" we
are not informed) aye, the HONORABLE John

gin to look little palmer than they did to the
people Some time ago people wondered how
Stephens, Toombs, Slidell, and other Southern
fire-eaters, could stand with the Van Burens,
Csmbreleng, Cochrane and Benton, upon the
Ksnsas-N Nebraska bill, but it is no longer a
mystery-that bill has t,oo constructions, one
Northern and the other Southern-it accom-
modates politicians of both phases, Northern
and Southern
The same paper, at the same time (what an
Interesting paperp) announced as follows:
Ex-senator Dix, of New York, attempted on
"Wednesday evening last to address Buchanan
gathering at East Hampton, Long Island but, af-
ter proceeding only few minutes, was so severely
attacked with vertigo, induced by exposure to tho
sun during the day, that he was forced to retire
from the meeting"
We would suppose it would give any man
the vertigo to make speech in behalf of Blu
chanan, and especially if the speaker had to
turn around in making his address, as often as
Buchanan has himself boxed the political COM
pass. 1t is pretty good evidence to US, that
mans head is turned If he attempts to de-
fend Old Buck

Poems of L. r. Thomas, ESQ.

We find in the July number of the Democratic
Review three poems of Mr.. Thomas one Of
which we present on our first page to-day. From
the same source we learn that Mr.. Thomas will
collect and publish, during the presentfall, large
number of his poems, including some not hitherto
seen in print. To those who are fond of poetry
this publication will afford a rich treat. Mr..
Thomas is fine schoa r, has rich Imagination, a
remarkable e1actness of description, and great
power Of expression, and these combinations rem
der his poetcal effusions captivating. His "Endd,
which we published in ls42, at St. Louis, and the
scenes and characters in which are drawn from
Indian life was one of the sweetest, and, at the
same time, most thrilling poems we ever read
We shall be pleased to see it re-published in the
volume which we learn Mr.. Thomas intends to
publish, and we bespeak for the proposed volume
that extensive sale which we feel assured its merits
will deserve.

Tricks OF THE ESEMY.-We wish to caution our
American friends against the insidous wiles" Of
the Sag NIGHTS, says the Memphis Eagle. We learn
that they approach Americans in this way "We
want to beat Fremont. VIII you vote for the
strongest man for that purpose :" The American
answers yes. "Well, now, the fact is between us,
says the Sag Nicht "Fillmore stands no sort Of a
chance, come, pledge yourself at once for Buchan-
an" He is very weak American who could be led

MIR. CLAYTON, of Delaware.

1t was stated a short time ago, that Mr.. Bayard,
of Delaware, announced at Dover, in that State,
that he was authorized to say, that Mr.. Clayton
wouldn not support either Mr. Fillmore or Colonel
Fremont for President, leaving his auditors and
the public to draw the inference that he aoas IN
favor of the election Of Mr. Buchanan, and the
friends of Mr.. B. have not been slow to claim so
distinguished an individual as one of their allies
upon the strength of Mr. Bayard's annunciation.
But we feel that we owe it as duty to the public
to say, that while Mr.. Bayard spoke only the
truth as far as he went, yet he did not go quite
far enough. He should have said, that Mr.. Clay
ton is as much opposed-perhaps that is a little
too strong an expression-that he is not more in
favor of the election of Mr.. Buchanan, than he is
of either Of the other candidates. Mr.. G. has,
himself clearly defined his own position in the
following brief sentence, uttered in the Senate on
the 23d day of August:
MIR. President l am an old man, and have
spent very 81 eat portion of my life in the public
councils. am at this time a member of no polit-
ical party whatever. am the advocate Of no mans
pretensons for the Presidency, in opposition to
another. am bound by no party ties. remain
in public life only because / suppose may possi-
bly be Of some service to the country and seek
here no other object but what believe to be tie
good Of the country"
Those who have the pleasure Of daily associa-
ton with this distinguished gentleman, will recog-
Mise this as the purport of his oft reiterated senti
ments in regard to the different candidates for the
Presidency. His attitude towards them is that of
strict neutrality.

FREMONT FAILURE AT SARATodA.- Fremont
meetings have come TO be failures everywhere
No longer do they have even respectable numbers
at their gatherings. The people have become sick
and disguised With the stuff which constitutes their
stock in trade" At Saratoga Springs few
days since, Judge Culver was advertised TO speak,
and arrangements were made to get the people
out by thousonds The number that came, we are
assured, did not exceed 300 persons, men, women,
and children. Fremontism in New York is fast
