or the Great Struggle between Liberty
and Despotism for the last
Hundred Years.
FA_IOTY WRIGHT BRINGS THE VIRUS OF NE-
GEO EQUALITY TO ANIMPICA
FROM FRANCE.
Every sect has its founder, its creed, its
apostles or evangelists. All sects are el=
ther Christian or anti-Christian. All Chris
tian sects, societies or churches, claim to
derive their' doctrines from the Bible, or
the Holy Scriptures of the Old and ew
Testaments. Anti-Christian sects and so
cieties discard the sacred scriptures, and
found their belief on the writings of infidel
philosophers. Such societies were formed
and established in America about forty
years ago. The founder of these societies
was Miss Fanny Wright, whose history is
given in the " New American Cyclopfe
dia," as follows:
"Fanny (Darusmont) Wright, a social
reformer and philanthropist, was born in
Dundee, Scotland, about 1796 ; died in
Cincinnati, Ohio, January, 1853. She was
left an orphan at nine year of age, and
was indoctrinated by her guardians with
ideas founded on the philosophy of the
French materialists, Rosseau, Voltaire,
and Diderot. Upon becoming of age,she
undertook a tour of travel in the United
States from 1818 to 1820, and of which
she published an account entitled "views
on society and manners in America.'—
Soon after appeared her work, 'Few Days
in Athens'—a defence of the epicurean
philosophy. In 1825 she returned to
America, and purchased 2,000 acres of
land in Tennessee, including part of the
present site of Memphis, where she estab
lished a colony of emancipated slaves,
whose social condition she endeavored to
elevate for the purpose of proving the
equality of the white and black race—
The experiment eventually failed, for rea
sons never satisfactorily explained, and
the negroes were sent to Hayti. She then
appeared as a public lecturer in the East
ern States, where her attacks upon negro
slavery and other social institutions at
tracted large and enthusiastic audiences,
and led to the establishment of what were
caded 'Fanny Wright Societies.'"
•
Fanny Wright was the founder of the
Republican party of to-day. She came
across the ocean from the home of Ros-
Mean and Voltaire. History says Rosseau
was the father of Robespierre, and Vol
taire the father of Danton. Robespierre,
Danton and Marat were the leaders of the
reign of terror in the French revolution.
They sent the good king of France to the
guillotine, and ordered the arrest and ex
eoution of Gen. Lafayette, the companion
and friend of Washington, for opposing
their revolutionary and bloody acts.—
Their doctrines of negro equality pro
duced the massacre of all the whites in
St. Domingo,
in accordance with the dec
lawations of Robespierre, who would ra
ther that the white race should perish
from the earth than that his doctrine of
the univeisal brotherhood of man should
not prevail. Fanny Wright's mission to
America was to preach the gospel of Ros
seau and Robespierre, of Voltaire, and
Danton, and Marat. Ann Hazeltine Jud
son crossed the ocean to carry the gospel
of Christ to India, and was the first, fe
male missionary of the Prince of Peace.
Fanny Wright came to America to bring
the gospel of the enemies of Christ,which
produced the horrors of the revolution in
France in 1793, and reproduced them in
America in 1861, and she was the first fe
male preacher of negro equality in the
United States. She " indoctrinated" or
"inculcated" her disciples with this
"idea" upon which the Republicans de
clare they have sent a million of souls in
to eternity, and desolated the whole South
to establish as the religion of Christ.
The Biblical Repository says : "The in
fidels of France entered into a secret com
bination to effect the overthrow of the
Christian religion, and with it all the es
tablished forms and institutions of civil
ized life. They poured forth tracts and
books in great abundance, and by degrees
got possession of nearly all the reviews
and periodical publications. They ac
quired an unprecedented dominion over
every species of literature—over the edu T
cation of youth, and over the minds of all
ranks of people ; thus they prepared the
way for those terrible scenes of revolt]:
tion and bloodshed which were exhibited
in France towards the close of the last
century. The miseries which were suf
fered by that single nation' in the course
of a few years, have changed all the histo
ries of the
idle
sufferings of man
kind into idle tales,: It - appeared for a sea
son as if the knell of the whole natioliwaa
tolled, and the world summoned to its ex
ecution and funeral. Within the space of
ten years not less thap 3,000,000 human
beings are supposed to have perished in
that one country through the infleence of
atheism."
We shall prove that all the woes and
sufferings America has passed through du
ring the last six years, were brought up
on the nation through the direct influ
ence of French atheism and deism, instead.
of avery. But the doctrines of the
F enc hilosophers could never have pro
duced such woe and bloodshed in our
land had not puritanism • and other forms
of Christianity been " indoctrinated"with
the principle or "idea" which was derived
from atheists and deists, and which Fan
ny Wright brought from France forty.
years ago., They received this doctrine
as a new truth revealed from Heaven, in
stead of a falsehood emanating from hell.
If Christianity had not allied itself to in
fidelity, which wore the mask of religion
and philanthropy, and thus deceived the
people, there would have been no war up
on the South, and the South would have
made no war upon the North. The South
fought four years against the doctrines of
the French atheists and deists. The Re
publicans fought four years to force upon
the people of the South, and compel them
to accept, the doctrines of Fanny Wright,
and embrace the gospel of Rosseau and
Voltaire, and of their apostles, Robes
pierre, Danton and Marat. The triumph
of the Republican party and of their revo
lutionary :policy in the South, is the tri
umph of the gospel of atheism over the
gospel of Christ.

A further history of Fanny Wright be
fore the introduction of Robespierre.

The Lancaster Intilligencer, referring to
the results of the recent elections, says
Let the faint-hearted, who doubt whe
ther the American people can be trOsted',.
take courage. The masses are not sleep
ing, neither are they deaf to the calls of
their country. The results of the elec
tions just held in Connecticut, Michigan
Ohio, lowa and Kansas, show that the'
people fully appreciate the present terri
ble crisis in our country's history.
It is seldom, indeed, that so many elec:
Lions, occurring on the same ?lay in differ
ent States and widely separated cities and
towns, all show victories and gains for
one party. The causes which prodttert
such a result must not, only be extraordin.'
ary ; they must also be of universal appli
tion.
Never did any party put forth greater
exertions to carry au election than did the'
Radicals to redeem Connecticut. Con
gress abolished the tax on-manufacturers
as a bribe to New Englarid ; the little
Nutmeg State was overrun by Radical or
ators ; a Radical General displayed bis
epaulettes on every stump, and Radical
Congressmen bawled themselves hoarse
in every school house ; Radical office hold
ers were bled most freely, all over the
country, and greenbacks were scattered
like leaves in autum ; every fair and un
fair device that could be devised was re
sorted to in order that the little State of
Connecticut might be returned to the Rad
ical fold—but it was all in vain. '
General Grant was put foward as the:•
rallying figure, and it was formally an
nounced that this election was to be ta
ken as a test of his popularity. As such,
we therefore accept it- In Connecticut,.
Grant, as the Radical candidate for Presi
dent, has been most overwhelmingly de--
Aged.
The Democratic majority of last year
bas ben largely increased, and it is now
sure that against Grant the DemocEatie
candidate for President will sweep a large
majority of the Northern states. The'
gains in New .Hampshire, the large ma
jority in Connecticut, the unbroken tide
of Democratic victories at nearly every
municipal election which has been held .
this spring, all tell the same story.
Hadn't thei Radicals better take some
other candidate, since it is sure that Grant
will be defeated ?
'r Dr. 11. Anders, a German chemist...
and a member of the Medical Faculty of
New York city, after fifteen years' re
search and experiment, has discovered a
method of disolving lodine in pure viater.•
This preparation (Dr. H. Anders' lodine'
Water) has cured many cases of scrofttla v
ulcers, cancers, &e., that had resisted the'
action of all other remedies.
JES So.—Gen. Butler says he " should'
despise the ten commandments if they
taught him to forgive Andy Johnson."—
Of course ho would hate the ten command-
menus anyhow, because one of them says.::
" Thou shalt not-steal."
—Expecting no more patronage from
the present ,Legislature, the radical press
have ,already opened their batteries of
abuse upon it. They say it is as ,great ac
failure as the preceding one, but promise ,
better things nex•ttime as usual.
