WHO FILL OUR POOR-HOUSES?
The records of our American Pritor.s,
Penitentiaries, Crimiral Courts, Alms
houses and Pani)er Institutions show a
fearfully largo array of crime and poverty
imported into ow country from the hot
beds of European vice and destitution, to
corrupt our stinial and political organisa
tions, and .burthon our people with an e
normous taxation. This evidenco may bo
found not only in the Prisons and Poor-lion
see of our large cities, overrun by hordes of
immigrants poured in upon them, but pro
bents itself with striking force in tho rural
districts, comparatively trod from the gross.
or abuses witnessed in the larger towns.—
We had occasion the other day to'visit our

proportion appears, it becomes still strong
er in view of the small proportion of For.
eipn population in the country compared
with tho Native. Take Pennsplvania for

that no Catholic or Foreigner mast bo put

MESSRS. EDITORS the last Compiler,l
observe a notice of the Hanover American Mass
Meeting characteristic of the falsehoods which
weekly teem in the columns of that truthful
sheet. Now, sirs, I was preient at that meet
ing, and from personal knowledge pronounce
the statement that the meeting was n "allure,"
and that a part of the delegation, which went
from this place "wouldn't enter the coach un
til it got out of town," willful, deliberate -rase
hoods, known as such at the time the article
waS penned. The three stages which contain
ed u large parfof the delegation from this place,
stopped in the public square and in front of the
Posteoffice, and there took in the delegation.—
The • only individual that did not get its the
coach at those plades was an
,nnnaturalized
German, not a'rasunber Of the Amerioan party.
And yet
,the creature who pretends to edit the
Cbmpilir and lead the 'Democratic party in
this county, avails himself of this fact to porno
trite a wilful and unliashing falsehood, and im'-
pose on the credulity of his renders. Having
had some little political association with the
writer of that article in times past, and know
ing him well, I am not surprised at the delib.
crate falsehoods and misrepresentations with
which ho weekly crowds his paper, in regard to
the American movement. • Nor am 1 surprised
that he weekly deals out the vilest denuncia:
tiers of mOsi infinitely his superior in all the
requisites of honor and manhood. But Tam I
surprised that the honest Democrats of tho
county—with whom I long and proudly labored,
until I found theparty, under the guidance of
unprincipled leaders, surrendering its princi
ples, and bowing _abjectly to the demands of
political Romanism—are willing to be duped
us this way, and quietly swallow the weekly
hash of folly,nonsenso and falsehood, thus serv
ed np to them in the Columns of the Compikr.
And this is the sentiment of more thisn one.
AMERICAN DEMOCRAT.
Bishop Hughes and lho Common
School SYsteln.
pTho Froeman's JoUrnal (Archbish
op Ilughos' organ,) thus concludes an ar
tiet6 on'Yohools—it may be under tho im
pression, that, as tbo Amerietit? Party do
not carry everything, the hay-day of the
Archbishop's glciry is to return :
•'TLoro'e a good Limo coming, Loyal
Wait a littlo longer l"
The "good time coming" is when the
Roman Catholics can obtai% from tho
school taxes of all our people allertain por.
Lion for their own plicate, to eduoate chil
dren in their own peculiar way. The
Archiepiscopal organ says appealingly in
reply to somo Canadian taunt :
"Let the Albany, Evening Journal pat
this potent argument of tho Canadians
alongside or its returns of the census
which show the dooreaso of the agricultu
ral population' of this State, since the un
lucky and un-American Stale "five school
law' wont into operation. '
"Bet, this done, we moot our Canadian
neighbors with. clean hands and with 'a
strong heart. We say to, them : We were
the first, we have been The, sternest and
the deadlieSt enemy of State It ed school"
oppression: But, we tell them that the
State schil4l system is foreign and antago.
nistie to the American political institutions
and traditions. It is abhor.nit to the na
tional sentiment and spirit. Welton them,
again, whatever is antagonistic, to the na
tional fundamental institutions and spirits
of a living country needs only time and
circumstances to eradicate. Passion has
been stimulated to carry and to sustain the
State achool law. .But passion must soon
cool. Reason and experience will come'
to the judgment of the question, Our op
position to the State echool system will
be seen to have boon as truly for patriot
istn, as for religion. It Will boa proud
day for us, perhaps, the proudest, of our
life-for we shall live to see.k."
It may be. , Only 1853, the Arch
bishop came very near carrying through
'the Legislature a bills - vesting in him .all
the Roman Catholio Church property in the
,
State- It will be a sad day however for
4
Americans—tbat day-when our glorious
. .
Common . School system ie stricken down,
and religions sectarian schools substituted
therefor, in which children shall have
their minds .imbried with tho spirit of big

yet arrived—and neLS,will if the_ Amur,

The .Terupentl Authority of the
•
"The Pope 'is the proper authority to'decide
for.nm whether the Constitutori of this country
is or is not repugnant to the laws of God."
Thus writes 0. A. Brownson, the.great
exponent:of the Papacy in. the United
f3tates.. "If Over Vie liberties . of this coun
try areendangered," wrote lalayette, "It
will be throug4 . influence of Popish
prieits." What- a commentary on the
prophetical decimation of the apostle of
•Liberit i , is the bold avowal of this Amer-
Can' champion of the 'Papal hierarchy
We laugh atihe power of the Pops . t we
111dtriike' OW . dot4liiiiWiLii — rail( excited
by - prcterniforts of his: emissaries in
this country ! But aro we quite right in
not heeding the encroaching spirit of Re
monism, which, presuming on . the free
dom of speech accorded to all men who
live under the benignshadoW of our Waite
lions, subordinates our noble Constitution
to the ignoble "authority' of the Roman
Pontiff? With what boldness - are we
told that the, palladium of our liberties,—
that initnortal instrument which was sealed
by our fathers' blood, and sanctified by a
patriotism without parallel in the history
of the world—has no authority with the
adherents' of the Papacy, except what
thg Pope, in his sovereign pleasure choos
es to allow it I It is time,. certainly, that
Americans came up the . help of their
glorions Constitution, against the defiant,
though covert hostility of the Romish
Church.
We are not accustomed to raise false
alarms,or to discover peril to our institutions
in the mad, theories of the day. But wo be
lieve that it is duty of every lover of his
couniry--of every friend of humanity or of
civl and roligous liberty to rebuke such
sentiments as the above. Brownson does
not speak for himself alone, but for the
Catholic hierarchy.
Hie aggrosive spirit is• shnred by the
Church of which he is, probably, the ablest
advocate-in America. Indeed, rob Roman
lam of this intolerant spirit, and it loses its
indentity ; imbue it with the free impuls
es, the liberal inspirations of republicanism,
and it would be Romanian' no longer, be
cause it would cease to respect the ipa,e
dixit of the Pope, and no longer bow to
the mandates of his insoles' representa
tives in this country. Hence it is plain
that Romaniam is inimical to American
liberty; they cannot coexist—one or the
other must fall. We are now in the
thick of the fight ; we are not appreheti
sive of the result.
[COIIIIIII#ICATED
Republicanism is essentially militant,
and being based upon truth, and resting for
support in rho consciences of men, cannot
fish. Romanism is aggressive ; but being
eviland lalse in.its very nature, its strength
lies in the ignoraree and superstition of
the masses. The, intelligence of the peo
ple is its deadliest foe ; and it is paralized
in the presence of truth. What chance of
success, then, awaits it in a country where
education is free to all ; where intellectual
light and free discussion make perpetual
progress 'among the people; where the
- national pulse beats over to the call of civil
and religious liberty f Tho Papacy may
flourish here for a time, and even attack
with impunity the Constitution of our
country,' but it can make no substantial
progress while tbe'Prose stands sentinel
at the portals of Freedom's Temple and
exercises that' iteternal vigilance" which
,is the "price of liberty."—N. P. Mirror.
