PRENTICE ON FtalO.W.
Tho Louisville Journo/, a decided-KnoW-
Nqthtng and, 'Fillmore paper, appears to hove
been closely investigating Fremont’s claims to
the suffrages of the people. In a recent article
the editor (Prentice) draws the following faith
ful portrait of the Black Republican leader :
“ Col. Fremont is realizing the peculiar con
sequences of being a candidate, for the Prcsi.
dcncy.' Tlic people have been, making faquir-.
ics as to his past history. They have already
discovered .that he is not entitled to the credit
of having discovered the celebrated pass: thro*
the Rocky Mountains* on the strength of which
alone his supporters claim that .he should be
made President; Tt.hns been ;dlsoovcd that he
was elected to the United States Senate merely
as the agent of a reckless band of speculators
fn Mexican land claims In California, and that
his nomination as a candidate for thc'Prcsidcn*
cy was brought about by the same parlies and
for similar purposes, ft has leaked out that
he is a member of the banking firm of Palmer,
Cook & Co., and the SIOO.OOO recently paid to
that firm to pay the interest upon tho‘Califor
nia Slate bonds has been used to procure Fre
mont’s nomination. Uls asserted in the New
York papers that Fremont, a few days ago,
tried to.borrow $OO,OOO on Wall street, N. Y.,
to make up this deficiency, but was unsuccess
ful, because AVall street .was too wide awake,
and knew that; to avoid paying taxes, he had
made affidavit that he was not worth anything.
The most astonishing disclosures that have
been made In regard to the Woolly. Horse can
didate arc the charges preferred against him by
Col- Mason, and recorded among the Executive
Documents of the 31st Congress, in the session
of 1640 and ’5O.- From these it appears that,
while Gen. .Kearney, was commanding,officer in
California. 1 Frcihout borrowed . from .some
friendly Mexicans large sums of monev, for
which he agreed to pay interest at the rate of
.3 per cent- per month, dnd signed the obliga
tion for iis.prc-pqyment as Governor of Califor
nia. , This money was aftcnyaids paid to the
Mexicans by our Government, but when Fre
mont was called upon to account for it, he Tail
ed to show that the mdnoy thus borrowed was
ever applied to -the service of .the Government*.
These documents also show that, while in Cal
ifornia, this hero of Mariposa gave an order on
the government for $0 976; for supplies fur
nished tho California battalion, and that these
supplies turned out to be a lot of *i* hundred
breeding cotes, not one of which was used for
public purposes, but which were delivered to
an agcht of Fremont's, to breed'on' shares, un
der.aconiract between the agent’and the Mari
posa candidate/ 1
• We omit a portion of thq -Joumol.’s article,
accusing Fremont of Jesuitism and of carving
the cross, instead of -planting the flagot the
Union on the Rocky Mountains—because this,
jf true, although it might be a l -reason for
Know-Nothings lobppose hlm; could have no
influence with the Democrats, who advocate re;
.llgious#ccdom.,; BtH.if .-ho was a Roman Ca- -
lliolic, bronglit up ii/ the faith, and deserted
his religion .for the mere sake of obtaining a
high political position, no censure which he
can nclininiatcl* would he adequate to the offence
which ho has committed. No one who would
be guilty of such 'an act ought to expect to
claim sympathy or support from hbnorablomcn.
A renegade from his faith for pecuniary or po
litical gain always lias been and always will
be despised by good men of all parlies—and as
Col. Fremont bas never deniejJ his former coni
uoction with tho Church of Rome, but allowc4
some of his' political associates to deny, his
present connection with it, without a.dissent
ing word from himself—we are almost forced
into the bcl cf that he is an apostate from bis
early religion, and that his motives for flposta
cy were carnal and corrupt. But. be this as
it may, the'aclions of his life affecting merely
his integrity as ah officer and a man are* suffi
cient to condemn him in the estimation of his
fellow citizens, and wo arc entirely satisfied
that.,after tho November election, ho will nev-j
cr ogam be heard of as an aspirant for public
favor. IDs defeat will be so signal as to drive
him from the political.l)fld>forever.
UUer-from Col. Benton.
Since Col. Benton has been defeated for Gov*
emor. he has had the good sense lo advise his
friends to keep their faith pledged at Cincin
nati, and accordingly the Benton Electoral
Ticket has been withdrawn, while the old gen
tleman himself is out lint footed against his
own son-in law, Fremont,- for President. In a
letter to a member of Congress, written sinco
(ho election in Missouri, Col. Benton says:
“There is a design hero one the part of some
to put up an electoral ticket for Fremont,
about winch no one speaks to, me. as I have
charade enough to keep it at a distance all
that class of persons who, dishonorable them
selves, could approach a man with a dishonor
able proposition. But my sentiments ' are
known, and that I should consider such a step
as injurious under any aspect—mortltyng to
Fremont himself, from the small vole which the
ticket would receive—and Injurious to the pub
lic, by aggravating the sectional feeling >vhich
now arrays each half of' the Union against (he
oilier. I was opposing the bringing out of Fre
mont lor nearly a half a y ear before those who
charge me with promoting itkncw of any such
design. There are cases in which nubli&.duly
rises abbvo personal consideration, llioiigh'lhero
arc a great many, people who cannot conceive it
possible. Thus when -I ; supported Jackson
(with whom I was on ill terms.) thirty rears
ago, thu sordid motives of office was assigned
lor it, now, when I support Buchanan (with
wliom 1 am on ill terms,) and. support him
against a member of my own family, the same
persons can fico nothing hut falsehood and
treachery.- Incapabld'themselves'of anything
disinterested and patriotic,- they believe 'others
to be equally so, and attack with base motives
all the notions which arc above the comprehen
sion of their political morality.”

’■ "When you any that wo intend to make Kansas

meant anything else. Some Senators,however,
will not understand It.- Tho Dhjoct was plainly
avowed to all tho people. . Wo said, *Wo take
away this restriction which some think nncon.

RESUME ROMANCES.
The Gazette de Lauraane relates the follow
mg romantic story :
Prince C- ■—. one of the principal boyards
of Moldavia, and having, it is said. Imperial
blood in his veins, had in his household, a
child’s maid, a young woman of Friburg. As
eho was a very handsome girl, the prince after
a while became smitten with her. and not only
paid her attention, but gave her a number of!
presents. 4s> however, he was married, the
young woman considered it imprudent to re-1
main m the house, and She left Moldavia. Cut:
abscnceonly increased the pjwstou of the Prince, I
and he followed her to Switzerland. There, as
a proof of his affection, he placed securities to |
a large amount in the hands of n Banker at
Berne, and directed that they .should bo given |
to the young woman at ft future period. He. 1
it appears, formed thcdcsign of marrying heri
and took measures for having his existing mar
riage dissolved* TheSe measures necessitated
(us presence at Moldavia; but he contrived ne
vertheless to pay frequent visits to Switzer*
land- At length the young woman, fearing
lier reputation would Ikj compromised by Ins
attentions, consulted some clergymen, and they
(old her that her marriage with him would be
Impossible, for various reasons, and especially
on account of the difference of religion; so she
determined on marrying a young man who had
fallen In lovo with her. When the marriage
was celebrated, she informed the Prince of it,
and of her motive for marrying. Tho Prince
:wns greatly exasperated, and an; angry corres
pondence ensued, lie at length arrived at Frl-;
burg, to ascertain, os he did. that tho marri
age really had been celebrated.' ho enlortoiping
doubts about it. When satisfied that the
voting woman was irrevocably lost to him. he
brought an action against her before tho tribu
nal of Friburg, to obtain tho restoration of tho
donations which ho had made, her, amounting
to'abbot 300,000 and 400,0f)0 francs, on the
ground that they had been copferred on the
condition of a future marriage, which condi
tions she had not fulfilled.’ The young woman
on her part, contended that the gifts had been
I mado without any condition at all: and that
i besides she had not married until Mm had as-
I ccrtflincd that a marriage between her and the
Prince, was impossible. Eventually tho tribu
nal dismissed llio action. To incrcaco tho ro
mantic interest of (he affair, it is stated that
after the commencement of the suit, Uw Prince
succeeded in obtaining a divorce from his wife,
and it is added that ho has Just married a
young lady of Belgium. ‘ ■■ 1
