The Constitution of the United States (Arti-
Gle II, Section y declares that
NO person. EXCEPT A NATURAL BORN |
"citizen, or citizen of the United States at the
slime of the adoption Of this Constitution, shall
''be eligible to the Office of President"
Now here follows true genuine letter, which
proves conclusively where the gentleman was
born. But to be serious, it matters little where
he was born; as he will never be PRESIDENT
Fort CovINsToN, Friday, October 3, 1856.
To the Editors Of the Ne1o York Daily NeIrs:
As much has been said respecting the where
abouts of Mr. 5dhn C. FIemcnt'y place Of ma
tiyity, sarhaps the following may give some
light spon the subject;
Ona recent visit to Montreal, during thelast
week, had the pleasure of travelling in com
pany with my friend the Hon. &. II. Mason,
member of the Provincial 1hnliament of Cana
da, who, in the course of conversation, stated
that he was formerly we'll acquainted with the
father of John c. Fremont, the Republican"
candidate FOR President; that Mr.. Fremont was
then living in the District of Montreal, and that
John c. Fremont was Iorn there; that the faith
er left the Provinces when young Fremont was
about one year old, and moved into some of the
Southern States.
lie stated that the family came from France,
and that the name is Fremonte, as pronounced
in the French. Mr.. Mascn expressed astOnish-
ment that any party should put Catholic in
nomination who was ashamed of and denied his
religion for President of the United States.

is well known upon the Northern frontier and
his statements are in all respects entitled to
credit. Your very obedicnt,
II. B. MEARS.
1t has been at last proved so clearly upon Ere
mont that he was born in Canada, and the Con-
stitution requiring President to be born in the
| United States, unless born before its adoption,
that he (Fremont) has thought it necessary to
visit Canada in disguise, ana, as it is supposed
and charged, to destroy tie records, and prevent
detection.
This is the most scandalous act of his myste.
rious life None of his biographers could locate
the place CT his birth, and he has kept singular
silence in regard to it himself
But at last the proof became too hot for him,
and in the disguise of laboring man he fled
with speed to Canada for the purpose, as is sup
posed, of destroying or securing the records
against search. As the British and Tory Ca
nadians, like their brethren the other side o.
the water, are opposed to the Democracy of this
country for having WHIPPED them on two several
important occasions, no doubt they aided him
in his labors.
Being discovered on his return; and to cover
over the charges made in the Eastern papers
the organs of Fremont admit his visit to Cana
da, in the following article which We find in the
New York EveiGng Post copied from Ere.
mont paper Of Massachusetts, published on the
route c" his return.
This surpasscs the fact of his running as n
clector on his own ticket in Pennsylvania. We
copy the following, because we find it in tht
, Fremont papers as authority. Gone to Canada
Well, that is the last k;nk in this pigs tail;
From the Springfield Republican, October 90
Coz. Fremont iH the Country.
Col Fremont, with his friend Gen. James
took little cXcursioninto the country last week
by way of relief from the throngs of visitor
G which he receives daily when in New York.
G Leaving Monday morning, they came up tn
S Connecticut valley, through Springfield and o.
to Rutland, Vt, the first night; thence to Og
t denshurgh and over into Canada, probably t
0 visit Col Frcmont's birthplace, as lately dscoy
S cred by the New York Express. They spent
: couple of daysin that section of northern Ney
YcIk and the Queens dominion, and returne
o via. Burlington, Rutland and Troyon Thursda

It the latter day.

is Col. Fremont greeted his friends cordially, bl

p thing wa accomplished much to the mcrrymel
of the parties and spectators.
N The people everywhere on his route wou
X have been equally glad to testify their symp
w thy with his charac ter and the principles he re-
IN resents, but it would, Of course, have defeat,
ii the object of his journey to have announced i
q progress. The manner in which the small O
q. portunity accidentally offered was improve

al unison with his own. What triumphant mar,

r. could approach to it IN the popular enthusias
"a and tokens of respect that he would evoke whc
~ ever he went.
