How Cross They Are.

The Fremont papers all seem to be 'as, cross as
bear with sore-head about this time. Have they
discovered that the nomination Of the Mule-eat-
Ell" is izzleH If they have not, the people have,
and will prove il too before the lapse Of six more
weeks.
BY the way, speaking Of Fremont, reminds us
that thus far, not one of his organs has dared to
sllude TO the fact Of his having procured marriage
license with the name Of Father Van Horseigh, a
Catholic priest inserted in it-nor to the fact Of
bis being at this time dcfsulter on the books of
the War Department for large smount--nor to
bis great cattle operation at the expense of gov
ernment but for his own benefit, nor to any of the
numerous charges made in the public prints against
bis integrity. II not disproven, the Republican
organs must perceive that judgment win be taken
sgsinst Fremont through default, and that his posi-
ton, such as II is, win be materially weakened by
the silence OF his friends in the face Of these grave
accusations.

Every day is bringing 10 light fresh proof OF the
fact that Col. Fremont Is a Roman Catholic. 1t is
needless TO rehearse the facts that have before been
cited, not one of which has been denied by him
sell, or any one authorized to do so for him. They
have been before the public, have been pondered
over by the community aud just conclusions have
been drawn in relation to them. We now have
another proof and one still more striking
When the troops under command OF Col FIRE.
mont drew near to 81. Juan, it was supposed that
the Mexicans were entrenched there III considera-
BILE force. Among the troops company OF
men well-known throughout all that country as
the Bear Company" composed Of those Ameri-
cans who had conquered California previous to the
appearance of any commissioned troops Of the
United States. They were well known as yalorous,
hardy, and as soldiers almost invinciblc. Their
name was terror to the Mexicans, and they fled
before them at the knowledge Of their approach
This company, under the command OF Lieut. Rous-
seau, was ordered forward for the purpose Of dis
lodging the enemy ut San Juan. On their arrival
however, they found that the enemy had decamped
the evening previous.
st. Juan is both a military and missionary
post, and occupies a prominent postion--com-
manding view of several miles. In front of the
Roman Catholic Church, there had been erected a
high post, surmounted by cross, the symbol of
the Roman Catholic faith. Soon after taking pos
session, by Lieut. Rousseau, young sailor by the
name of st. John, climbing to the top of the cross
nailed thereto the American flag in token of the
conquest. Some two hours after the place had
been taken by Lieut. Rousseau, Col. Fremont came
into the town with the main body of the troops
Before he dismounted from his horse, he ordered
the American flag to be taken down from the po-
sition in which it had been placed by the command
CT Lieut.. Rousseau, saying, at the same time that
cit was an outrage on the Christian faith, and
should not be tolerated"
Here, then, is another proof of his subserviency
to Roman Catholicism. There Is no exaggeration
in this statement We have it from an eye-wit-
ness, gentleman who was one of those who first
entered st. Juan. He was member of the Bear
Company, and was an observer of every act set
down in this statement, and heard every word spo-
ken. He can furnish the names of score of
Others, some of whom are nov public officials III
California, who likewise Witnessed it, and not one
of whom would vote for Fremont under any cir
cumstances whatever.
We have no comments to make upon the above.
1t is from most reliable source, and may be de-
pended upon. 1t speaks for ITSELF and fully sub
stimulates every word we have ever urged against
him as to his Roman Catholicism His silence OH
the subject will avail him no longer. Evidence that
he supposed had been forgotten is springing into
new life, and charging it upon him 80 boldly that
the miserable subterfuges of Parson Beecher can
not force them down. The truth will OUT Gin.

CoNNEorcUT.-There was a glorious American

addressed by James Brooks, of New York. Among
the most pleasing incidents of the evening, the
coming out Of the Hon. Mr.. Kendrick, late Speak
er of the House of Representatives of Connecti-
cut, and who, besides having held several high
positions in the State, is a man of great popular
power. He had not before pronounced, but he
could not hold in any longer. He must, to be con-
sistent and to do right, he said, be for Fillmore.
The audience made the hall to ring with Joy over
his pronunciamento, and Connecticut will ring,
too, with the echo of the announcement. At mid
night the band serenaded Mr.. Brooks at the Sco-
vile House, who, after rapid morning visit to
three four Of the great thriving manufactures of
the town, hurried back to his post in New York.

leans and Wings of Connecticut will assemble in

New York .Hards and SOfts.

The United Democracy, of New York, have
nominated strong ticket for Governor and Lieu
tenant Governor Judge Parker, the Gubernato-
rial candidate, has been one Of the most popular
judges in the State. Mr.. Vanderbilt the candi-
date for the second Office, is well known as the
leader of the Hards in the Senate, few years
ago, when the great battle came off on the Inter-
nal Improvement question.
We repeat, it is strong ticket, or rather would
be, under other circumstances than those which
now exist. But as affairs now stand, in New
York, the ticket will be beaten out of sight. The
next Governor of New York will be member of
the American party and supporter Of Fillmore
and Donelson

The New York Tribune thus alludes to Nj.
Fillmore: Mr.. g. G. Dunn will place his support
of Mr.. Fillmore on Wing grounds though IL Is no.
torious that he was hostile TO Mclean as 20 Ere
mont and that he urged the nomination for Presi-
dent Of Colonel Bissell of Illinois, who has always
been Democrat, and far more identified with past
political controversies than Colonel Fremont. Mr..
Dunn was thoroughly alienated from and hostile to
the Republican movement before Col. Fremonts
nomination was seriously contemplated; yet he
will make that nomination bis pretext for doing his
utmost nominally for Fillmore, really for Buchan-
an And, unless he is counteracted by most de-
termined and systematic exertions, he will draw
off some ten thousand votes, mainly in the southS
ern part of the State, and render the result ex-
tremely doubtful"
Aha Then Indiana is not so safe for Fremont,
after all, ii seems. Why, we had supposed, from
the Dragging tone of the Fremont journals that he
had set the prairies on fire, and that they would
continue TO burn till the 4th of November. Now,
il appears that Fillmore has set back fire. and the
woolly horse has 80 much smoke in his eyes he
cannot keep the track
From recent admissions of the Tribune, of the
same character, we infer that the Fremont hum
hug begins to be appreciated by the people of the
Northwest, and that in two months from to-day he
will be regarded as out Of the ring altogether.
Iu the mean time, Fillmore's strength North,
South, East, and West, will increase in rapid
ratio, and by the lst Of October be will be regard
ed, even by bis opponents, as invincible.
With this prospect before them, let every Amer
lean and Wing in the land resolutely put their
shoulders to the wheel and push on the column |!
A united and determined effort now will insure a
glorious victory in November.

ROMAN CATHOLIC EXCITEMENT AGAINST PRIEST.
We copy the following from the Philadelphia Led
ger of yesterday:
II was alleged several days since that priest
having charge Of the st. Patricks church had Tor
saken celibacy by taking unto himself helpmatc,
and then fleeing from his flock, all Of which opera
ted to his disadvantage with the congregation TO
whom he had preached Yesterday, il appears
that Mr.. Costello, brotherin law of the preacher,
visited the parsonage Tor the purpose of removing
some goods which the minister claimed as his own
private property. Some of the females in Murray
street heard OF the intention of Mr.. Costello, and
with indignant eyes and arms neryed for combat,
surrounded the unfortunate brother-inlaw and pro-
tested that the goods should not be removed.
Loud words SOON attracted the attention of
others, and in few minutes so great crowd as
sembled that nervous policeman had word sent
by telegraph to the Mayors Office of what was GO
ing on. The Marshal, always prompt after making
arrangements for sending men TO the scene of ac-
ton, visited the locality but the crowd had be-
come quoted, and there was but little need of his
services or his men. rumor got abroad that
there was riot, and that number Of persons had
been arrested, all of which, however turned out
to be untrue The excitement amongst the female
portion of the neighborhood was however, very
great, and might, perhaps, have led to blows, but

OF the church, who advised them to dispense.
