Mij I) 'ir Sir : Youv favor of the 1st inst., ought to havo huun aii.nvured long agu, bul absence and busiiiOiis must pluad my excuse.
I am rot surprised to huarthat ihu rum¬ ors so widely circulaied coiieerniiig Col.

But so far ns thi'.ip rumors a.i-'urt, or iinjily, that ba is a Uoman Ciiiluilicthuy are withont slight¬ est found,lliun  in facl.
I jircsuniu ihai, from proper inoiivos of delicacy and sulf rus|)i'ct Col Fremuut will not jinbli.-.h anything him.sulf on thu tub- jucl, or taku any part j ursiinii ly in the canvu.iis. Bul hu coiivur.ies with thu iit- I'lost iruudom ujion tliesu topics, ns upon all otiiui's ; bu has nu du^il'e or disjiosiiiuii to jiraciice any concealmunt of bis relig¬ ious o,-)iiiions ; and I bave no reason 10 be¬ lievu that he would deaire olheis lu do so in his behalf.
Col Frumont is not now, nor has he ev¬ er buen a Roman Catholic, llis faiher dy¬ ing whun he was fivo years old, he wos uducatud uxchiaivuly in I'rotutlani schools and at the nge of sixtuen was confirniud, of his own mntiuii, ami from siucure con- V'cti II 111 thu I'roiusiant Episcojial Church of which hu hus eonlinuod ever since lobe a inuiiiber. Not onu of his own children has evur buen sent to a Roman Catholic school, though I beliuve an adopted daugh¬ ter atiendud for a short time tho seminary a'. Guurgetown, of which the pupils gene¬ rally nre lavguly Prolunant, 'Ihat this oughl not lo be conslruud to his jirejiidice uven by iho mosl zealous Pioiuslaiils, is suiTicienlly shown by (ho fact that .Air, Fillmore sunt his own ilaughtur to a Uo¬ man Catholic seminary at Uulialo forpur- j)oses of special instruction ; yet no one infeived from this circuinslancu llmt ho himsulf was not a Prolestant.
Colonel Fremont's inarringe was Celebra¬ U'd by a Calholio priest ; but this was in consuijuence of the diliicully, if nol im¬ possibility, of procuring any olhur clergy¬ man lo perform it Thu curemony 'vas in a privale room, was very short and simple and did not imply any assent, on Uis part or thai of his wife, to the doctrines of the Koinan Catholic Church ; nor was either of them required or requested on that oc¬ casion to give .Any (ilcdgea thai tlicir chil¬ dren shnuld bo brnujhl u|i in that fniih.—
