Julius Catar. The long and Intricate Comedy of Errors with which the whole public has been puzzled and bewildered, has at last found a solution. The men who swore that Fremont passed a virtuous youth and exemplary manhood, that he was truthful and honorable, a second Washington in statesmanship, a second John Knox in religion, cthat he was a Protestant, abhoning wine, and dice, and falsehood, and faithful to the obligations of honor and of money; and those who on the other hand were ready to swear that he is afalse dicer, a dishonest speculator, bankrupt and forsworn, a trickster in politics, a Catholic and a renegade in Teligion, are equally in the right. There were two Fremonts Greeley haa made the discovery. In the Tribtmt of Saturday we have tho editorial announcement that: "It appears by the pamphlet, entitled 'Col.

Fremont Not a Bomau which is published to day at the Tribune office, that there are two fremohts, both of whog hove belonged to the army both resided in Washington that they resemble each other, and that that Fremont who is tho candidate for President is not that Fremont who was in the habit of attending the Catholic Church." In another part of the Tribune we find that the pamphlet in which this discovery is eefc forth is for sale at the Tribune office and Mr. Greeley says in relation to it, that for "several months past letters have been pouring in by thousands, begging for something conclusive on the question whether Fremont is or ever ha been a Soman Catholic. The pressure has become so great that we have finally issued a pamphlet on the subject which completely disposes of it. Now all those who have been so much in want of such a document can be accommodated. Price $3 per thousand." Thus tho whole question in dispute about Fremont ore to be completely disposed of and all his followers "accommodated" by the story that there ore two Fremonts.

Nothing so ingenious In politics has been in vented since the facile hand of a well known politician by a desterious clip of the scissors converted the body of Timothy Munroe into a "good enough Morgan till after election. It is twenty five years, since the two dead Morgans were invented and now we have two live Fremonts in their place Is not this development 1 The hand that clipped the whiskers of the dead Morgans into resemblance, has parted, the hair of the living Fremonts in tho middle, so that the most practised eye cannot toll them apart. Is not that progress 1 Yes, there are two Fremonts. One was expelled from school, arrested for debt, court mar tialled, cashiered, fought duels, brought in exorbitant bills against the government, fisticuffed a Senator, was a Bomanist, and a romancer. That is another man altogether from the one that Weed, Greeley.

are running for office. That one is a most exemplary person, who rose in rank without patronage, is honest and truthful, a pious Protestant in practice, a statesman by intuition, a champion of freedom by inspiration. We understand that the Fremont who is kept under lock and key by our friend Isaac Sherman, is the false Fremont. The real 'Simon Pure' haa been placed under charge of Colonel Abel; For some time there was great doubt, as to which Fremont was the actual one; and many 'friends of Freedom' are continually in perplexity, to distinguish them apart. Adopting the rule of in the play of Moliere Lo veritable Amphitryon lit 1' Amphitryon oul'on dine it was decided that the true Fremont Is the one that holds the Mariposa grants; in whose shares the political speculators have ventured.

Does any one doubt that a resemblance lik this might exist to mystify a whole people? Let him remember the case of Perkin Warbeck and Lambert Simnel in England, the false Dmitri in Bussia, the counterfeit presentments of the son of Louis the last of whom was the copper faced coinage of our own day and State, the Bev. Ebenezer Williams. Let him look into the causes ceUbrcsand read the case of Martin Guerre and others, which created the popularity of that publication. Let him read our townman Mun sel's work on similar cases of personal resemblance. Yes, there of two Fremonts Banks Is running one of them In Pennsylvania as the representative of non intervention Fred.

Another destiny is in store for him. When the November contest Is over Mr.

Oreeley will bring him out In the Bowery boards, and the drama of the "Fremoat Brothers" will supplant that of the Corsican Brothers, in its won derous popularity. Bamum will restore his fortunes by exhibiting these new Siamese Twins. Instead of the White House, the Fremont will receive the public ovation in the several museums and exhibition rooms of the Union, and neither shall have precedence but shall take example of the two Dromios, as described by Shakspeare Fremont 1st.

King, does not seem to run well. A western paper, speaking of King, says he is an amiable, well educated, polished man, but a shortsighted and treacherous politician. In 1840 he was sent to the Whig Convention at Harnsburgh, Dledeedto support Clay, but he perfidiously abandoned his pledge and supported Harrison, from which unhappy nomination date all the misfortunes of the good old strait backed but in vnnntiuit whkr nartv.

At the close of the meeting, a torch light procession was formed.

The sons of Henry Clay and Daniel Webster each addressed the great Democratic mass meeting at Lancaster, on the 8th. It is pleasant to see the sons of those illustrious statesmen, whose words and writings are quoted daily by all partii.6, enlisted heart and hand in the cause of Democracy and the Union.

The most thorough organiza tion has been completed, and the state will he canvassed by Democratic speakers in every mountain gulch, ravine and camp, from Siskiyou to San Diego. The last news received from the East will act like magic upon the Democracy of this State. From every source do we learn that the Democratic party has swept all before it. We believe that a large majority or Mr. i iiimore adherents will support Mr.

Buchanan, in the event of the former standing no chance of an election. The Block Benuhlicans are dismayed. They already feel and see that California is secured to Buchanan, and that their attempts to sow tne seeds of corruption, abolitionism, political trickery, and, worse than all, the black flag of disunion, In the El Dorado of the Pacific, is destined to meet with a most signal and lasting defeat. San Frandtco Eerald, Sept. 20.

A Bat up fob Governor. A committee of printers have published a manifesto against the candidateship of Erastus Brooks, denouncing him as a rat, that is to say, a man who is always trying to cut down the wages of the poor printers, and to shave them out of their hard earnings. The representations of these respectable men deserve careful attention, and we hope that every man who has known what it Is to ground down by a grasping employer, and every printer espsciolly, Will remember that now they have an opportunity of repaying a portion of the poor man's debt to Erastus Brooks. We speak thus confidently in confirmation of the authors of the anti Brooks manifesto, because we know of our own knowledge that such is the character of both James and Erastus Brooks that they are capable of any meanness or dirty dealing that will save them a few dollars. It is notorious that the Express is mainly written and compiled by young men, chiefly foreigners, who aro entrapped by one or the other of the Brookses into making long agreements to work for the Express for $5 or $6 a week.

If the truth were known, the private history of the Express newspaper would surpass, in point of atrocity of meanness and scurvy dealing the most abominable stories that are told of the shirt manufacturers and cheap tailors. The same policy is pursued throughout. It is understood, for instanco, that all the stationery consumed in the Express office is obtained by Erastus Brooks from the State Senate just as James Brooks, when he was in Congress, used to walk round the members' desks after the sitting, pick up the pens, blotting paper and wafers that were left there, and send them to his newspaper office for consumption.

Peterson, No. 102 Chestnut street Philadelphia. This is one of the best novels of its lamented authoress. It contains passages of absorbing interest, and holds tho attention all the way through. It is printed and bound in elegant style, and Is as attractive in external ap pearance as its contents are interesting and In structive.

Its contents are not limited to the tale of the "Banished Son." It contains several other thrilling tales, and one of tho most instructive, feeling and poetic articles on Greenwood Cemete ry ever published concerning that magnificent city of the dead which possesses a peculiar in terest for readers residing hero in the neighborhood of tho celebrated cemotery. We intend to reproduce some portions of this fine article as soon as our space will permit. a The United States Democratic Beview for the present month, has been received, and contains among other good things, a portrait of tho post master of New York, and a discriminating and well written eulotrv on Amasa J.

Democratic Has Meeting at Oreenpolnt. Last evening the Democrats of Qreenpoint held a mass meeting at Mr. Terry's National Hall, corner of National and Washington avenues.

A. Russell were appointed Secretaries. Richard H. Tucker, said It may seem presumptuous in me, a young man, to address such a large meeting as is now beforo you but the Committee having put me forward us the first speaker, it is like a squib being fired and the big guns brought afterward. In allusion to my youth, however, everything must have a beginning.

What a great and glorious spectacle it is to behold the representatives of 30,000,000 of free people assembled to elect their Chief Magistrate. It is not such as the French election controlled by the bayonets of a Napoleon, but is the spontaneous offering of a free people. On the ides of November next the people will exercise their right of suffrage, and elect for their Chief Magistrate a man whose antecedents show him to be the man of the people, and the only man for the safety of our glorious country (cheers). I cannot support the American candidate. I honor and respect Millard Fillmore; but he is the candidate of a clique a clique which holds forth the doctrine that the foreign born citizen shall have no voice in this nation until he resides here almost a life time, because a man coming here at the age of thirty years ought surely in a few years know as much as a boy of sixteen will learn jfore he is twenty one John C.

Dawson, in West Union, Virginia, on the 25th ult. Both Mr. and Mrs. Dawson narrowly escaped with their lives, having been awakened barely in time to avoid the fate of their little ones. Mr.

Dawson seized one of the smaller children, and made his way to the door, when, becoming confused, he rushed back into the house, was stifled by the smoke, lost the child, and was himself so badly burned that his life is despaired of so that Mrs. D. is perhaps the only survivor of this truly terrible calamity. An exchange paper relates the annexed horrible feature of this tragical occurrence 'One incident in this cruel drama was almost awful in character. We are told that during the progress of the flames the upper floor gave way, and a bed, on which were two or three persons, fell through to the lower floor, in plain view of the bystanders.

The Democrats of Pennsylvania have achieved a glorious triumph, routing the combined forces of the enemy. horse, foot and dragoons. It is to be expected that some of the Western conn ties will wear a different aspect, but on the whole there is every reason to believe that Pennsylvania has pronounced a verdict against Sectionalism and in favor of the Constitution as it is, which will vibrate with thrilling effect throughout the Union. Next November, when she Is called to accept the boon of the Presidency In behalf of her favorite son, she will roll up still larger Democratic majorities, we are persuaded. Two Democratic Congressmen are gained in Philadelphia, and It is believed that the entire Legislative ticket, both in tho city and county, comprising fifteen Representatives and two Sena tors in all, is elected.

This, with other counties heard from, renders it almost certain that the new Legislature will be Democratic probably by a large majority. A U. S. Senator is to be cho sen by this Legislature in place of Hon. Richard Broadheard, whose term of service exsi.es on the 4th of March next.

Still Another Globiovs Victobt. The Democratic majority for Mayor in the. City of Newark is roporfecKj 600. Ti jfl the first time th elfer The 'Victory In Pennsylvania. Tho result of yesterday's election in Pennsylvania has decided the Presidential question, and establishes the certainty of Mr.

Buohahak's elec tion as indubitably as figures can do it. The Black Republican papers relied upon the coali tion with Know Nothlngism, and the desperate effort of of the united labors of the managers of both parties to carry the election. They de clared all along that Pennsylvania was the great battle ground; that there the great issu was to bo decided; and the Timet of yesterday and the Tribune of a day or two previous, declared that tho election of yesterday would be an index of what will take place in November. By thcir own admissions, then, the contest is already de cided, Pennsylvania is hopelessly lost to the co alition, its electoral vote is sure for its own fa voritc and well tried son and Fbbkoxt may now bo considered out of the contest. The returns from Ohio and Indiana ore not yet sufficiently complete to enable us to judge of the result, but we confidently anticipate tho de feat of the negro party in both, or at least we expect to see the Democrats divide the honors of the election and so leave the final decision to take place in November.

Let us see then the relative position of parties. The Democracy are Euro to carry every Southern State. The most sanguinis Fillhobb man ought to be satisfied by this time that the defeat of the Know Nothing party in every Southern State and city where elections have been held this fall except Baltimore, where the party carried the election by force, but by a decreased majority is suffi cient to destroy all hope of his carrying single Southern State. In the North his chances aro equally desperate. In Iowa, Vermont and Maine where the Democrats suffered temporary dofeat, there was no Fillmore party at all deed in all the elections held this fall in the free States Fillmoer is as completely out of the field as Gkrbit Smith.

Mr. Fillmobe, therefore, need not be taken into consideration in calculating the probabili ties of the election. At the South Mr. Bdchak an will be without a competitor and at the North the only opponent he will meet will be Mr. Fbbmojct and we now come to review the strength of that interesting gentleman and his hybrid party.

There is a strong probability of hla carrying Massachusetts and Vermont, and fair chance of his success In Maine though it is highly probable that the reaction caused by aboil tion atrocities In Kansas and elsewhere, and the treasonable designs openly avowed by the dls nnion leaders of the party, will sweep over Maine and secure it for the Democratic cardidate. Con necticut and New Hampshire are both assure for Buchanan as Pennsylvania. New Jersey will as tonish everybody by the weight of her Democrat ic majority. New York will 6et herself right and whatever doubt may have been entertained at an early day, there is now every reason to believe the united Democracy will sweep the State. Tho great West will be true to the principle of self government, out of which her own giant States have arisen.

The election of Mr. Bn ciiamax is now universally conceded by even the Black Bepublicans themselves. But what we want is not merely his election we want to see him receive a large majority of the Electoral votes of the Free Stale). We wish to see this nigger party, which profanes the name of Freedom and the free North, repudiated at tlie North. It never has been able to carry more than a fraction of the popular vote of the Free States.

In 1852, the same party under another name ran the brave old General Scott. They carried but two Free States, having 18 Electoral votes and Slave States with 24 electoral votes. They had more votes at the South than at the North while the Democratic candidate had more electoral votes North than South. And in November next, Buchanan will beat Fremokt even in the Free States and that is the point to which the energies of the Democracy should be directed. It is necessary for the Free States to repudiate for ever the miscreants who pretend to represent the free and enlightened spirit of the North, and perpetrate the vilest atrocities against the rights ot the people, under the prostituted name of freedom.

The brave old Keystone State has stood firm against the tide of fanaticism, and every stone in the arch will keep Its place. Fre mont cannot promise himself with certainty a single State, except Massachusetts and Vermont. His vote will fall far below that of General Scott. His party give up the contest they may hang up the fiddle and bow at once, and merge their nhrieks for freedom into one long howl of baffled treason and disappointed spite. Tne Yellow Fever.

We have received an article from Mr. Merri am, (to late for publication) Btating that the temperature this morning was down to thirty lire degrees as low as that which in previous years terminated the yellow fever. Democratic Florida Spbakb. Florida comes to join in the chorus of the victorious Democracy. She unites her voice with that of Connecticut, and Delaware, and Michigan, and proclaims her faith in Democracy, her supnort of its champions Buchanan and Breckinridge, and her loyalty to the Constitution.

Once Florida was a Whig State. So was Connecticut, so was Delaware, so was Maryland.
