The Party—lts Organs—lts
Governllea
We always refrain from filling our col
umns with any subjects, except such as we
think interest our readers; until the con-,
duct of our opponents renders it impera
tive that we send back a blow or two, in
order that they may learn, that we are'
still able to take our own part against
the whole banditti, who pour out the wor
kings of their corrupt hearts against us, in'
the "Advocate."
Our fearless and independent course,
relative to their party, and its Governor,
has rendered us the object of their unceas.
frig abuse; unable to defend their conduct.
touch less, that of Davy—in pure spite,
they turn and belch forth their filth, and
falsehood, against us. Our readers will
bear with us, fur once, while we proffe r •
the mirror of public ottlition, to the party
organs, and its Governor; as well as a pro_
file likeness of some of those, %% ho are
hugged with parental care by the party,
and its master.
The party . (we do not wish tube under-
stood, as meaning all who supports it ) is
composed of all the renegade federalists,
whose love of office, seduced them from
their principles, and led them among a
party, whose leaders, and whose princi
ple they dispise. Attached too and acting
with these, are the ruthless Jacobins, who
seek to trample all law under their feet,
that they may riot on the plunder, that
desolation may offer. Nor are these all ;
the perjurer, the thief, the moat beastly
sot, and moot hated
.blackguard, are not
only boon companions; but, they are their
"Jewels." The fostering hand of ..the
party" lead such to power, patronage, and
distinction. These are some of the pri
vate virtues of those, whose generalship
lead the Loco Focos to battle,— and we
'blush for our country, when we say it; to
often to victory. Their public claims are
about of the same quality. Every prin
ciple contended fur, has been dropped'
& some other more dangerous substituted.
By turns they have been for 4. against the
Banks. By turns, they have been for e r
against the right of the people to elect
their public servants. At one time, they
were opposed to the increase of canal of
ficers—they came into power and nearly
doubled a number, which they said was
then too great, They said public credit
was destroyed by Ritner—although he
could obtain money for the state at any
time; they now contend, that the credit
of the state is good; although the poor la
borer is still obliged to toil without pay--
such is the party. Its fit
. Organs, The "Iron Gray" and the
"Advocate and Sentinel"—A. F. Cox, &
i W. R. M'Cay,—The first, we have known
for years. In Philadelphia, he acted a
I conspicuous part, some five or six years
• ago. He and his companions in guilt
printed and published a vile, indecent, and
I licentious sheet, called "the Quizzical
i Register." The columns of which, were
I devoted to every thing which was vile and
obscene;—no filthy anecdote was too vul.
gar to find a place there; no slander was
too foul to meet with a ready and cordial
i reception. They led upon the names and
characters of the virtuous and honorable.
None could escape the pestilence of their
breath, but by subscribing and purchasing
their silence. Its columns were devoted
to that villianous resort of all such knaves
—"wondering"--Did they need "money
in their purse;" the more virtuous their
victim, the surer their reward; and the
evening walks of the fairest and purest,
were "wondered" into "hello" of shame,
and infamy; unless, this worse than demon
and his associates, could induce her friends
to buy their silence—nor did they stop
here;—Did a virtuous man refuse to have
the feelings of his daughter's insulted by
their obscenity. The seeds of jealously'
were industriously sown by their "won•
dere upon his domestic hearth. Did tile
members of the church refuse to polutel
their houses with its fcetid breath—thei r
class-meetings were "wondered" into as
signation meetings. No one was too vir
, tuous; none too religious; no place to sa
cred; not even the grave to protect them
from .the assaults of this vampyre, who
subsisted upon the substance, sucked
from his victim.
There are things which finally become
'past endurance—so with Mr. Cox and his
.‘Quizzical Register." The strong arm
of the Law sought out the n.Nuisance, 9 9
and between two days, this worthy flitted
like a bird of passage; and the police
cers of Philadelphia, once lost a candi
date who would have been an ornament t o
the darkest cell on Cherry Hill, The
latter we have known only .since we came
to this county—but we can touch with a
faint outline, the prominent features of his
countenance, so plainly, at least, that we
doubt not his friends can mark the like
ness, That's
..him there ! that tall red
featured - F,:r.;* man; whose eyes are
bound with 'red tape,'--Thei fire blis
tered, bleared, & bloated with white whis
key; his hair is thin—whiskey not time
has thinned his locks. That's him! do
you not see yon fellow quarrelling with
his nearest friend about a straw--mark his
mild language —his first salute is, hyou'r
a d—d liar;" he would call his lath
er so, should he cross him, when the steam
was up. We care but little for hard lan_
gunge of a common sot, whose life time,
is a scene of drunkeness—whose bloated
visage, and blistered tongue would ;blast
I the virtue of his mother, did occasion of-
I ter, and was lie believed. The miserable
• tool, of perjurers, thieves and drunkards;
he is their,fit instrument; through him they
. can eject any filth they can invent upon
a ny citizen; and whose shoulders bare the
, load ? why yon bloated carcase who they
use but despise.
The wonder working 'powers of whis
key has again peopled his immagination
with images of terrible things against us!
"We rob, plunder, get drunk, gamble. &
break the Sabbath." Here is a pretty in
quisitor upon our course of life,a poor mis
erable bloated beast , who has hardly
drawn a sober breath for years; who lives
on the price of guilt, and an affectionate
father's kindness; who will lie in prenr
ence to telling the truth,—lle to school
us on morality. Our friends need want
no better evidence of the falsehood of all
their stories. Did we gamble., get drunk,
steal; anti all this; we could seek prefer
ment, certain of success in his party; and
was even perjury added, we might claim
a seat by the side of this things master.
They are the recommending traits, to
'introduce a dog keeper into the clique of
'the Governor.
Perhaps we are wrong in:handling this
mere tool thus. He does not write for
his paper. Ile is but the sewer which con
ducts the filth of others before the public.
There are others behind the scene—som e
of whom are excusable now. By it they
hope to hold on to the office they now en_
joy. Such are bound to do the dirty work
for their master; he takes no other evi
dence of fealty. But there are others
who have'been spurned even by men, they
know well enough to dispise, who are still
trying to crawl through the filth and slime
to the foot of him who kicked them —Such
are to be pitied, if not dispised.
Why is all this ? why are we to be
lified and abused by the curs of David,R.
Porter; why is every "puppy, whelp anti
hound, and cur of low degree," baying a t
us? let us tell our readers.
The Governor of this commonwealth is
the same David R. Porter, whose conduct
we have so often written in letters of fire.
We have dared to tell him, his eupes, his
tools, his liars, and his party, that perjury,
guilty, damning, and foul, (stains his es
cutcheon; and like the stain on Lady Mac
heath's hand, "the d d spot will not
out"—we have dared to tell them all, that
we considered Pennsylvania disgraced.
We have dared to tell them, that he who
could cheat his creditors, to save a little
of their gold for himself; that he who
would refuse to pay a poor laborer his lion
est due because he has owed him too long;
that he who would take into his favor the
detected felon, and cowardly thief; that
he who hugged such villians to his bosom,
was worse than they--and for this, we
must have our character traduced by his
besotted menials—Yet we care not; their
tongues are no slander—Their oaths are
as valuable as Porter's and no more. It
is all harmless; the venom of their stings
cannot touch us—Let them batter away ;
when master and man, are remembered
only to be execrated— we shall be respec
ted, even by their present friends.
Our readers must excuse us for occur
pying so large a space, with such a gath
ering; but we fear that they will get "su a
sy" unless we stick the "holders" in oc
casionally--but we do it all very good
i naturedly; we like
"To scrape and scaud poor dof a like these
And hear 'ern squeal."
But, who are the recipients of favor
from this party; who so boldly coin false_
hoods against us; why, he who stole from
the bar of a pthlie house, five dollars, is
now a dispenser of justice—He who rob
bed a man of his pocket-book, was detec
ted, and confined, was liberated by Por
ter's attorney; and the dog keepers and
bullies, who disgraced Harrisburg, are now
sleeping oft the fames of tl wir whiskey on►
the Columbia rail-road. Yet . they all
get defence of billy tn'cay—or what Ins
can't write, by some sucker like him;—
and yet how they are suffering because we
are such a terrible character. \Viten we
thi . 11: ourself as bad as any one of them.,
we shall be ready to hang.
Abolition.
We have seen with no little surprise,
an effort making to. connect James Steel
Esq. with abolition, hoping thereby to in
jure the chances of his election. That
the friends of Mr. Steel may learn upon
what they build this story, we will relate
what transpired, that every friend of
inanity and religion may appreciate the
conduct of these politicians.
Disease, that ruthless invader, of every
domestic hearth, be it in the cabin or the
palace, had laid upon a bed of suffering
and pain, a poor young man, who WAS
guilty of having been created, by him who
"made of one flesh all the nations of the
earth," with "a skin not colored like our
awn." His uncertain hopes beyond this
;World of tears, led him to seek from some
bumble follower of our Saviour, comfort,
lonsolation, and renewed hope. This
world, its follies, and its sufferings, were
nothing to him; and he sent Ins sister, to
ask James Steel to come to his bed-side,
and offer up a prayer for him, trusting to
• that divine promise, "ask and ye shall
• receive." That sister went; and, with a
• sister's tears besought Mr. Steel, to go with
• her to the sick bed of her dying brother,
; and teach him while it was yet to-day, the
awful and certain terrors of an unprepar
ed Tutu; e, Major Steel did not, like tlta
hypocritic Levite, pass by on the other
