Democratic Testimony against the Romisi
Hierarchy.

Lieut. Gillis's report of explorations in Chill,
published by the last Congress, which was two
thirds Democratic, contains chapter, commencing
at page l62, VOL |, on the Catholic Church in
Chill: We would advise all those who are uphold
ing the Catholic Church to turn to this chapter and
examine this Democratic testimony against the
usurpstion Of the Romish Church. 1t is the most
conclusive argument in favor of the position Of
the American party in relation to this church

In the Ashland Union of august 9th. 1856,
the following article appeared with flaming
Carroll free press. [volume] (Carrollton [Ohio]) 1834-1861, 1856-09-04

The fact that Col. Fremont is, or has until
recently been STAKEHOLDER. can no longer be-
denied. A gentleman who now resides in st.
Louis, who is well known in Penn Yan, N. Y.
writes to friend in the latter place:
''Witkin the past year have had occasion
to iransae! businets with, and fre quentlV been
at the house Of Col. Brant, and several Of the
domestcs have been from time to time pointed
out to me as the slaves of Fremont, and these
are not all either, as be owns many others.
male and female, hIed out in various parts Of
the city,"
The house Of Col. Brant is the place ut which
Col. Fremont makes his home when in st.
Louis. The writer Of the above paragraph
says:
"Col. Brsnt is particular friend Of mine.
/ visit his house frequently. He is a man of
great wealth AnG married, as you know, sis
ter of Col. T. H. Benton, whe also makes his
home there since Mrs. Benton's decease.
The Providence Post adds to this testimo-
ny.
THAT Col, Fremont did own slaves three
months before his nomination is proved. That
he does now own Seventy Five is positively as
serted by the Hillsdale Gazette"
The above article Was used extensively
throughout this County by the Buchaniers- the
stump speakers, especially, dwelt upon this
evidence, although Mr.. Fremont had ssid that
be "never owned one dollar in human flesh, :"
that he was at the present time stakeholder
Mr. Samuel Gaut, of Savannah. in this Coun.
ty, having obtained a copy Of the article, sent
it to Col. Brant. Of St. Louis, enquiring as to
the truth. In reply, Col Brant wrote as fol-
lows:
Sr. LOUIS, Aug. IL.
Samuel Gautt, Esq. Dear Sir--In reply to
your rote and slip, have to say that Col. j.
C. Fremont, to my knowledge never owned
Slave nor has he had slaves in or shout my
house, neither has he slaves hired out in this
City, County or State.
The writer for the newspaper has doubtless,
mistaken Capt, Jacob, of Kentucky, for Fre-
mont who also married daughter of Tbos. H.
Benton, and moved With his family and slaves
to Boon Co., No., and some two years since
returned to Kentucky with his negroes. He
usually, as did Col, Fremont, stops at my
house.
NV wife is the daughter of Samuel Benton,
deceased of Texas, and niece Of Thos H. B len
ton, of Mo.
So much for the veracity of the writer of the
slip sent me, which is false in every part ana
portion, gotten up for bad purpOses--henss I
am induced to give it a fiat contradiction, but
hereafter shall not reply to such trash, Col.
Fremont being fully able to defend himself 8
