In issue of this morning the attention Of the reader
directed TO the following statement which appeared in
the New York Tribune few days ago!
at appears BY the pamphlet entitled Col Fremont not
Roman Catholic which published to-day at the Tribune
Office that there FTemons both Of whom have be-
onged to the army both resided in Washington that they
resemble each other aud that that Fremont who the
ddae for Presdent not that Fremont who the habit
Of attending the Catholic church."
Soon after reading the above in the Tribune, We ad-
dressed letter TO the editor Of the Wilmington North
Carona) Journal in which gave the substance Of the
Trbunes statement and asked for such information the
editor OF the Journal might possess on the subject from
personal acquaintance with Fremont No. q Yesterday
mail brought US the following reply
WILMINGTON, IN. OIL Oct lG, 1855.
DEAR Your letter of the l4th calling attention TO
the attempt made to relieve Col Fremont from the charge
OF doubedeaing the Catholic question came TO hand
yesterday morning and would have been by
turn mail but for the absence OF Captain S. L. Fremont
engineer and superintendent of the Wilmington and Wei
don railroad 10 whom the republicans desire TO attribute
the actions Of J. O. Fremont in this matter.
have just seen Capt Fremont who is member of the
never attended Catholic church there does not even
know the location Of any church of that denomination in
Washington city does not recolec of having been
inside the walls OF Catholic church but twice In his life
once at Fayetteville, in this State and at Detroit
Capt Fremont quartermaster in the Sd artillery and
was on board the ill-iaed San Francisco On his way
ooutn OF that vessel, he detained
eight ten days in Washington city by illness in his
family He then visited church of the denomination to
which he belongs.
may add there no sort of personal resemblance
between O. Fremont and s. L. Fremont the latter being
tall, of rather light complexion, and much younger
One could not possibly be mistaken for the other.
What religious denomination Col Fremont may belong
to is matter of small Importance but and
evasion is quite different thing, and this attempt to
shuttle off the responsibility Of such doubedealing when
brought home to hem should be made to eco upon the
parties practising it,
With much respect remain your obedient servant,
JAMES FULTON,
Editor Wilmington Journal.

We have not yet done with Greeley The rdicule heaped
upon him and his wretched pamphlet forced him day or
two since to make the following apoogetic explanation
"How low and calumny descend in political
warfare has been tested by the New York Express Albany
Argus and their base echoes in regard to the simple
by of undoubted factnamely that there
femont at once in the United States army and that this
possibly account for some of the lsehood told about
Col Fremonts religion without duplicating their
wiful and deliberate liars"
1t would from the above that Greeley has again
sorted to his customary trick of lsiyng the record in
order to relieve himself from the embarrassmens of
very contemplate situation Not the slightest exception
taken TO the simple statement" in the Tribune thai
there Fremonts at in the United States
army" 1t the mpudently false statement of the Tri
bune that the two Fremonts resembed each othe-that
they both resided in Washing ton-and that it Ere
mont No. 2, and not Fremont No. /, "who in the
habit of attending the Catholic Embellishments which
the Tribune conveniently orgets remember-which
has called forth the merited rdicule and Indignation Of
the press generally throughout the country.
In another part Of the paper will be found very

keen and classic pen of the editor of the Albany Atlas and
