Fremont's Romanism—luteresliug Testi mony from St. Louis. AWKWARD REVELATIONS. Fremont does to Confession there! He is in J ail Communion with the Church! Fre mont Challenges an Englishman for Insul ting "Catholic" Ladies. From the St. Louis Pilot, Sept. 10th. In one point of view no discussion can be more unprofitable than that of Fremont's reli gion. But for the fact of his being a candidate of a faction, one wing of which i composed of the Know Nothings, it never would have been dragged into the controversy. Under ordinary circumstances, except indeed in fanatical New England, we doubt whether a dozen votes in tile country would have been affected by his profession of faith. Our own decided opinion is, that Fremont's religion, so far as it has affect ed his own life and conduct, has never amoun ted to anything worthy of consideration. That he at one time professed to he a Catholic can be proved beyond a doubt. That at this lime he shoul i hesitate to acknowledge it, is only char acteristic of the man. •That Fremont professed to be a Catholic, and conformed to all the practices of that Church, can be proved heie hy the most incontroverti ble evidence. The following facts were relat ed to us yesterday by a gentleman of this city who is perfectly cognizant of them, and was well acquainted with Fremont, with whom he was in the habit of daily association. In the year IS.'IS, Fremont spent the winter in St. Louis. He was, at that time, assistant engineer to Mr. Nicholas, who was employed by the Government to make a topographical survey of lowa and Minnesota. St. Louis was the head-quarters of the surveying party in the winter. For the purpose of being near an o pm space, from which lie could take observa tions, Mi. Nicholas engaged rooms for his party at an hotel in Perry's Building, adjoining Chou teau's garden. Among the party was a young gentleman from New York, by the name of FTaudrh n, who is still alive and can testily to the truth of these facts. Mr. Nicholas was a rigid Catholic, and died subsequently at the Je suit College at Georgetown, in the District of Columbia. He exacted of the young men of his party who professed to be Catholics a ri gid practice of the duties of their faith. Fre mont went regularly to the confession, and to the communion. A clergyman of the Cathe dral of St. Louis was his Father Confessor, and all Ihe Catholics in the city looked upon Fre mont as in full communion with their church. Our informant states that lie was himself present at the table when the following inci dent occurred : A young Englishmen, who was travelling through the country, made,.some remarks of the most offensive r.ntor< , reflecting upon the chastity of Catholic females. He was immediately taken up and peremptorily chal- Ltl'red hy Fremont, on the ground that he had insulted the latins j his Church. No duel, however, took place, as the Englishman thought it best to leave the city at once. As Fremont at this time of his life had no ob ject to lie gained thereby, he made no secret of his being a Catholic. He was married by a Catholic priest, iie erected a cross on the sum mit of the Rocky Mountains, and in the most important acts of his life lie passed himself off for a Catholic. Now he desires to conceal th* fact : he allows his Black Republican organs at the North to deny it ; he permits them to lie a trociouslv for him, and thereby becomes so far responsible. Such is the man whom the fanat ics of New England seek to impose upon the people of the United States as President—one false to his religion and a traitor the place of i.is bii th. 11 ore Evidence Mill.

J6i!—organ oi the Ronian Cat hoti<- Archbishop, there.] Jt would be affectation in us to keep silence m regaid what is said in this city on this question. That Fremont pre|essed to if a Catii nlic when in St. Louis, admits not ola doubt.— We understand that an evening coteu.porary will publish some iniportatit facts on the subject this evening. We have certain further devel opments in reserve, and are only waiting fin the peririission of'a third parly to publish them. To be a Catholic is no disqualification fin the office of President of the United States, But to be a Catholic and at the same time the candidate of the Know-.Nothings for the Presidency, is ceitairilv a very ctuious combination. To be of ANT religion, and to suppress, or deny it, fin fear oi losing votes, is despicable. What is as serted is tikis. That when Fremont was lieie as a young engineer, he was considered a Cath olic by liis immediate employer, and the latter being a zealous one himself, took pains that the \oung men with him should practice their reli gion. A gentleman, moreover, w hose name can he produced, recollects an anecdote rather favorable to Fremont, but hearing on this point. At table, in a hotel, an Englishman, after din ner, gentlemen onlv present of course, uttered a most insulting opinion in regard to the chas tity of Catholic women—and Fremont sent him a challenge, on the ground that lie had insulted the members of his church. The Englishman vamosed. Jlnother gentleman vows that he suv: Fremont at the altar rails of the Cathedral, but whether he received communion or nut, can not be positive. In fact, our acquaintance lies among gentle men who knew him—mostly Catholics them selves (Jor the veiy first people in St. Louis, you know, are Catholics, and it is a recommen dation in the best society,) and we have vet to meet the first man who knew Fremont here, and did not regard him as a Catholic. We pos sess, however, evidence of a flu more delicate and richerche nature, and if we are permitted, will publish it. Suffice it to say, at present, I that it establishes in our mind the conviction : that when here, among Catholics, And in Catho iic CREOLE society, this then obscure young man passed himself off as a Cuthdlic, pro fessed at least to perform devotions pe'ruliar to the Catholic Church, and rejected by all prote stunts, and, in short, was either a Catholic or a hypo crite. Of course, no one can view this question of a man's religious taith lor office, with more con tempt than we do, in the particular shape, at least, iii which it is made a question by the Know Nothings. This feeling has long kept Catholics silent, to u hotn Fremont's professions were very well known. But now, matters are really come to a point, where delicacy on a certainly delicate subject—-that of a man's reli gion—should not tie permitted to interfere with i the exposure „f fripon a smooth and double faced pretender—who is actually the candidate ot a party that puts "Slavery, Popery and Rum" in the same category of contempt and hatred. If such a man is, or was, a Catholic, the world ought to know it. If tie was one, but is one no longer, they have a right to know the period and the motives of his change. More particu larly in this case, since we have understood that Monsieur Fremont (pronounced Fraymong) professes to frame his replies on this subject so us to suit both paities, and get votes from both.

The excitement, we are lulu, was truly alarming, and the determined purpose ol the people not to peimit the guilty wretch to go unpunished, tooappaient to be misunderstood. While the excitement was at the highest, the i crowd were addressed tv Judge Leich, in a , brief speech, which was listened to with res >pt ct and attention, and which more than any thing else, perhaps served to allay the distur bance. We are no advocate ot anything ap proximating to mob law, yet from what we can l. arn of this case, we regard it as one in which there was much not only to excuse, but even to justify the conduct oi a people who, in the main, are as law-loving and as orderly as any in the land.
