Democrats--and these infinitely infernal traitors to the Constitution and the Union! "Col. Fremont was educated in and graduated from St. Mary's College, in Baltimore, a Roman Catholic Institution. He was brought up in the Catholic Faith, and is a Catholic. He married a daughter of Col. Benton. Miss Benton was a Presbyterian. They were married by a clergyman of that denomination; but a Catholic priest made a fuss about it as being null, void, and heretical, and the ceremony was re-performed by him!"--_Auburn American._ The _American_ might have added, that Fremont is the son of a _Catholic Frenchman_, the son of a _Catholic mother_, and was reared under Catholic influence. Nay, Fremont educates his children at the Roman Catholic Institution at Georgetown, in the District of Columbia! The placing of such a candidate before the public, seems especially designed to defy public sentiment, and mock the Protestant American feeling of the country! We had expected the Catholics, with Bishop Hughes at their head, in a few years more, to come out openly, and run a Catholic for the Presidency, but we had not supposed them bold enough to attempt it in 1856. To show beyond all doubt that the nomination of Fremont was the result of a coalition between Seward and Hughes, more in reference to the _Catholic question_ than the _Slavery issue_, we present the record of Fremont in the United States Senate--his _ultra-Pro-Slavery course_--his voting against justice to the Colonization Society, and _seven hundred and fifty_ captured slaves--his opposition to the abolition of Slavery in the District of Columbia! HE IS EXTREME SOUTHERN AND PRO-SLAVERY. John C. Fremont held a seat in the United States Senate, in 1850, for the space of a few months. During that time he made no speeches; indeed, he has scarcely ever been known to utter any sentiments, or sanction any opinions. Yet his votes, as a member of the Senate, did make for him a record; and it is this record that will stare him in the face as long as he lives--a record in direct conflict with his present professions and position before the country: LOOK AT IT!--JOHN C. FREMONT'S STATESMANSHIP. [From the Congressional Globe--Vol. 21, part 2d, p. 1803, etc.] "IN SENATE OF UNITED STATES, Sept. 11, 1850.
