about the pecuniarY .

in this.dirty work, Bigler has bean promptei

and encouraged by, James Buchanan himself

th,:4,igtitte, in layer .or F. lluttman, for
forage and supplies furnished to the C4lifor
i l ia Battalion, raised - and omm:omitted by Col:
Fremont. When those drafts were, presented,
ftle. Buchanan did not pay them, because Con
greas had -nut appropriated and platted at his
disposal any money fur that purpose.
nee drafts fell into the hands of some per-__
soul; in London.: In . 1852 - Cet. ' Ftentontiiiits
in London, And was there arrested for debts
he had contracted in California. As ourtliov-.
ernment could not be sued,:and`no appropri•,
titian had been made by Congress for their
payment, the holders of the drafts thought
the surest and shortest way to- obtain- their
money was to hold Col, Fremont personally
littple. l) , The case mime before 1114' efllli't I.t .
Exchequer. The testimony of Jame> Itae.li.i :
nen, upon whom the-draft, were or .tco. be

Court, appointed Henry L., Oili.io, thigh
Campbell and Peter real' oe"I'llila teipuia.

Fremont. Under the i

mission issued in Louden, the. thr.,- geut t -
men named proceeded' to take the ttepvtiiiioti
of James Buchanan. The Commissionsers
were awortt to take the deposition and make
the examination, truly, faithfully. and impar
tially to the - best of their skill andknowledge.
Buchanan Will sworn' to, make true answers to
all questions - touching the matter at issue,
without fettr_or affection to *either ,party, and
the clerk was sworn .truly,', faithfully :and
without partiality to write down the deposi.
tion. The deposition of Buchanan thus taken
was sent under seal to.Bir Jae. Parke, a. Chief'
Baron of the. Court of EOlequer. The last
steamer from England brought to New York a
itertified copy of thie deposition ; of James Be.
chanan. All the Material parte of the depo

DEaulluorttbii: Your note of the 12th'-insf.

of My first, leisure monietits to reply to ..its
'contents. Of Alderman Fullmer I have noih
ing to. say. .1 do not know the man, and have"
no wish to repeat 'rumors . that are current
with regard•to , his !clot:Amer. _ In_ times of
high political -. excitement like the present,
such rumors_re utterly unreliable. ' - :Touching
the report_that Col.' Froinont-is a Catitori - e; 1
am prepared to give you ..definite and relin.:
ble information." - Such -reports. are- - utterly,
false, a lie from end to end." Macatilay,.
in one of his reviews, says that one 'who—has

wonld.certainly modify his opinion were he to
acquaint himself with the presep_t_maition of

Neither Barere, nor the father of lies himself,.

not a Romanist, never lies been, and has done
nothitig.to_gire actor to the fabrications, of his
slatidiars. John Wesley was not more free
fromt all reasonable suspicion of leaning toward
the church of Rome than 'John C. - Fremont. ,
He wns educated in the Protestnnt faith, con
firmed in a Protestant Church, has been. du
