Attacks the Presidential campaign of John C. Frémont. "John C. Fremont is the candidate for the Presidency of conjoined fanaticisms... We assert and defy contradiction, that every organization boasting infidel doctrines is now an organization in favor of Fremont; and we assert also, that all those desiring a dissolution of the Union are openly co-operating with these organizations."

Fremont, John Charles, 1813-1890
