Item description from seller

4pp. Self-wrappers. An intriguing defense of the religious convictions of John C. Fremont, published amid accusations of his being a "papist" during the 1856 presidential campaign. The present pamphlet responds to seven specific points of evidence, among them his secret marriage by a Catholic priest to Jessie Benton, daughter of his patron, Senator Thomas Benton. It publishes numerous letters affirming Fremont as a practicing Protestant, and even supposes he was mistaken for a Lieut. Sewell L. Fremont, a known Catholic. While both Fremont and his opponent, James Buchanan, took a relatively passive role in the campaign, there was no shortage of ill will between the two camps. Already hurt by questions surrounding his illegitimate birth, lack of campaign funds, and fears of southern secession, Fremont's alleged practice of Catholicism added a final insurmountable hurdle in his run for the White House. OCLC locates twelve copies. OCLC 13688352. DAB VII, pp.19-23 Slight wear to fore-edge, minor dust soiling at edges. Very good.
