Politics We have published a letter this morning ta ken from the New York Express, a Know Nothing paper, in relation to the marriaeeof Col. Fremont. We have inserted it not be cause we think it is material to the present controversy whether Col. Fremont was mar ried by a Justice of the Peace or a Catholic priest, for we have uniformly deprecated the introduction of such elements as this into po litical discussions ; but because we wish it to appear clearly, that the issue has been raised by the Know Nothing party, and is a legiti mate and natural result of Know Nothing principles. It has been alleged by the oppo sition press, that the Democratic party has charged Col. Fremont with being a Catholic. The Democratic party has done no such thing. The Democratic party does not care a fig j whether Fremont was married by a church i man or civil magistrate, whetrter he knelt down or stood up during the ceremony, or whether he sent a daughter to a convent to acquire her education. The investigation of private matters of this nature, was never con-" sidered a legitimate part of a political canvass until Know Notbingtsm first sought to estab lish a religious test as a qualification for office. And now wc fire glad to 'see that a Know Nothing journal, ' and not an organ of the Democratic party is responsible for the intro duction of this religious :!ement into the cam paign of 185G, " We agree with the mass of the Fremont papers, that such an ' issue is im proper. , We 'condemn as much as -they do, the employment of arguments derived from such a source ; bu. who is to blame for it ? The same party the same men the same po litical journals that now deprecate the attack on Fremont. Two years ago,1 if a man had a Catholic wife, a Catholic 'father, or had even been seen in a Catholic church or procession, he was ostracised ' by the ' dark lantern "party , which now considers it entirely un warrantable to discuss the apparent religious proclivities of Fremont and his family.1 If a candidate was announced for any office,4 even so' lately as 1854K the inquiry was at once started 'y the keen scented pointers of - the American press, whether some ' female in his family 'did not commune in the Catholic church. If any such communicant "was discovered Vithin even a'remote degree of 'consanguinity or affinity, the candidate wm reported to thFTwfwr Vli- ing councils as an improper subject for their suffrages. We said then, and say now, that this course was anti republican, absurd and dangerous. . V denounced it as contrary to the Constitutional guaranty of lilerty of-con-science. We condemned it as establishing a secret jurisdiction worse than even the inqui sition ; but how much sympathy did we obtain iu our course from the present Republican press ? The Gazette, although not an organ of the "American party at any time, supported a Know Nothing for Governor in 1854, and Lr'v? ri' J0 virulent American newspa pers in denunciation of the Catholic church. The polite and accomplished editor of the Journal was a mem-.er of the American or Know Nothing party, acted as a member of the Executive Committee of Allegheny coun ty, and is still connoted with the organisation. It is true, like Governor Johnston and his followers, he belongs to the anti-slavery wing of the American party. lie has dissented from the doctrines of the party on one point the question of slavery, but when has Mr. Kiddie, when has Gov. Johnson, when has the Commercial Journal, or any other organ of the Know - othing party ever evinced the slightest dissatisfaction with that feature in .the American or Know Nothing rreed which avows hostility to Catholics ? f . . We have seen abundant documents, speech es and letters from dissenting Know Nothings from Know Nothings who seceded from the Fillmore Convention, but we have yet to see the first one denouncing the odious reli gious test which was one of the fundamental principles oT the American organization. We are, therefore, permitted to infer that the whole American press of Pennsylvania, now bearing '.he names of Fremont and John ston at its editorial head, maintains precisely the same illiberal doctrines, that it formerly did on the Catholic test. It has never disa vowed them. ' It has "never retracted a single scntim nt ; and yet it now occupies the absurd, inconsistent and ludicrous position of support ing a man who married an Episcopalian lady, and yet who, from his own choice, not hers, selected a Catholic priest to perform the cere mony. Two years ago this same press would have heralded such a fact against a Democrat, as being a sufficient ground of exclusion from office Two years ago it would have announ ced it in glowing capitals and declaimed against the dangers of paj al supremacy We have no words to express our contempt for such inconsistency. It is almost as bad as kill a king and marry with his brother." - We have said, and repeat it, that the charge against Col. Fremont is not ours. Whatever "may be cr tnny have been his religiocs views, they are nothing to us. They would not J weigh a feather in our estimate of his qualifi cations for the Presidency But they do affect our estimation of the party tb'at selects him j for its standard bearer. They show its utter destitution of principle, and display the most contemptible ; servility. They prove cither I that the past professioes of the American par ; tyhaveb cn fahe, or that whatever regard it may have for its avowed doctrines, their value is considered insignificant whea weighed against considerations of temporary expedi ence. Under any other circumstance, at any oth er time, and coming from any other s-urce. the sacts connected with Col. Fremont's mar riage would have been stale and unprofitable. But it seems like a blow of retributive justice that they should be furnished by a Know Nothing organ agaiust the nominee of the lar gest section of the Know nothing party. We have not even taken the trouble to investigate the allegations The main fact of the mar riage however, seem to be undisputed.. The fact that Mrs. Fremont wa cot a Catholic ap pears t j be equally certain , It was a sort of mnaway match. The pair had. been driven out of the paradise of Col. Benton's approba tion. They wanted some person to perform the interesting matrimonial ceremohy. 'The world was all before them where to choose " If neither of them belonged to the Catholic church why select a Catholic priest? If neither of thero professed to belong to that church, why would the priest officiate? These are questions which we would be satisfied to answer by frankly admitting that it was none of our business. But the Know Nothing party has made these '.matters the subject of political discussion. It has dragged the most delicate relations of private life,' the most exclusive matters of private judgement into the political arena. It was undertaken to ex plore the secrets of tho fireside, and to rake up the facts that to condemn a public man from the ashes of his own hearth . Such are the means which it has secretly employed to destroy candidates who have been otherwise unassailable We scorn to resort to the same species of warfare; but we must never theless commend to the American party a -careful 'consideration of ; the 'questions pro pounded by the New York Express They are exclusively of Know Nothing jurisdiction. Pitt, Union-, i ! From the New York Express."' J Know Nothing Manifesto . against Colonel I . . ' Fremont' "- - '-- Colonel Fremont's Mmrrlege IIc mutt have been m Roman Catliolle. ' "' ; . . f ! . . , 1 i .- x There is a point now made one of gTeat im portance in the Presidential election by, the denial on the part of Colonel Fremont's friends and by authority, aa we understand it, from him- that he is, or ever has been, a Roman Cathelic. - The point is one of this importance, in a political view, first, because, "many Amer icans who support him in New England, es pecially support him upon the ground that he is an ti-Koman Catholic and second, becausd if he ever has been a Horn an Catholic,' he de nies the fact, and has ostensibly changed his religion. The Rev. Mr. Beecher says, in his Independence, apparently by authority : " Until he was fourteen. Col. Fremont was educated in the hope and expectation that he would become an Episcopalian minister. At sixteen, he was confirmed in the ' Episcopal church, and has, ever since, when within reach of the church, been an attendant and communicant. And since his temporary so journ iu New York, he has been an attendant at Dr. Anthon's church until recently; aud now he worships at Grace " Church. Mrs. Fremont was reared strictly in the Presbyte rian Church, and united with the Episcopal Church upon her marriage with Colonel Fre-i moot, lheir children have been baptized jn the Episcopal Church, &c. &o. These are strong statements there is pro digious wroog somewhere, and we propose to find out where. There are two periods in a man's life when his religion, or the feeling for the religion be was educated in, first discloses - itself the first, when he marries for life; and - second, when on his death-bed It is admitted and nowhere denied that when Lieutenant Fre mont married Miss Benton, of Wasliipgtona Roman Catholic priest, of character and stan ding in his church there, married-them. No body compelled Mr. Fremont" thus to go to a Roman Catholic priest. lie went there of his own free will and choice. True, it is said, that in consequence of the social influence of Senator Benton, in Washingtou, no other than a Roman Catholic . priest -could marry the runaway pair; bnt it is not proven, and it is does not vitiate the fact that a Roman Catho lic priest cannot under the ordinances and councils of his church, unite parties ' in the holy sacrament of matrimony" unless one of them, at least, professes to be of that church. To utiderstand the laws and ' the councils, and the customs of the Romish church we must take our readers a little way into the theology of that church. Marriage is with the Roman Catholic a sa crament. The Protestants have but two sa craments ; the Roman Latuoacs have seven, and among them is matrimony Hence, a Romau Catholic priest would no more admin ister the sacrament of matrimony to a party not of his church, than he would the Lord's Supper or confirmation, or baptism, for mat rimony is. in the Romish Church, just as much a sacrament as the Lord's Supper The high, est written authority of the Romish Church is the famous Council of Trent, and there it is decreed: PCCREX 3d. W hosoever shall say that the sacraments of the new law were not all instituted by Jesus Christ our Lord, or that they are more or less in number than seven ; that is to say, baptism, confirmation, the Lord's Supper, peuance, ex treme unction, odrers. and matrimony; or that any one of these seven is not truly and properly a sacrament, let him be accursed. . Marriage among most Protestants no all, however is but a civil contract, but iu the Romish Church it is an obligation, to be taken only before priests it is a sacrament. The Romish Church is rigid, and stricter in its rule of marriage than any other "religious de nomination. Marriage in that church is an indissc'uble tie, and never to be loosed, even by the civil law of divore. The marriage of neretics Dy a priest is a crime, except unuer some special Papal dispensation just as much of a crime as it would be to administer the Lord's Supper to heretics. When Colonel Fre mont, therefore, went before Father Van Hors eigh. and asked hint, as a Priest of Rome, to marry him to a Protestant woman, he must have been, or pretended to be,' a Roman Catholic, aud he must have promised to bring up the offspring, if any, in the Romish Church. That promise Col. Fremont fulfilled in an adop ted daughter, now a grown woman, for he ed ucated her in the convent, on the heights of Georgetown, D. C, and he cannot deny, or authorize any one to deny the fact " The sa c amental oblegatious of the marriage have been fulfilled till a late period; and if they are not fulfilled now, ij is because of late a change has taken place in Col. Fremont's pro fession of religion it may be for the purpose of obtaining the- Pro"testant vote for Presi dent. , , - The Roman Catholic celebration of the mat rimony saerament (Ritus cehbrandi matrimo nii Sacranu-ntum) is one of the august"cer emonies of that church The priest puts on his cassock and white stole, and he brings out his missal, and holy water to sprinkle the mar ryinr parties, and he then uuites the parties according to the rules of the Holy Mother Church, and the priest sprinkles the marriage ring with holy water, in the sigu of the cross s ' ' TUB PREPARATION .
