The American Nomin4ses.
O t - It is with more than ordinary grat
ification that wo to-day present the ticket
settled by the friends of American princi
ples in this county, vindicating as it does
most strikingly the professions which the
American party has uniformly avowed, in
regard to the propriety of nominating /pod
turn for office: There is not a man'ait ibii
ticket but who will command the otnift
dance of our entire community—not one
but that• will make a capable and efficient
officer—not ono but does credit to the
judgment of our American friends.' It
may not be known to the public generally,
that the . Antoricon pull dispenses with
the entire.machinery of Delegate Conven-
tions in• the nomination ofeandidtites.—
All the memos of.individuals presented for 1
any of the offices are subinitted to a full
vote of the party-- ! eitory number of the
Order ie the County being allowed the
privilege of•voting directly for the man ho
prefers— thus deter tig eveky - thing like
levelling and combination among eandi-.
dates, and putting at divine° all attempts
upon the part , of ptesumed '"leaders" to
dictate the men to be selected.' Upon this
principle was selected tho ticket we to
day present on behalf of. theAtilorican
pArty. • During last week, die members
of the Ordor.throughout the county voted
in . their respective Couneilifor candidates,
and on Monday these voted were brought
together by,return delegates, summed up,
and these.; • . , lung a majority of
Potts;,; d, . , d- nominees. •We may
rem Opt a sin lar degree of unanimity

diet the' ticket nominated will. command
'the .entire And • hearty support. of. our
friends. , ' - . •
„Cho candidates aro, all wolf-known chi
sena, and wo need scarcely waste liaper in
indicating that the nominations - were all
"fit to be made.” 'Mr. WILLIAM B.
WILSON is one of the most intelligent
practical, Farmers in the county, possessed
of an active mind, which has been cultiva
ted and disciplined by extended reading
and severe thought, and will make not on
ly a useful and practical-member Of the
Legislature, but will do honor to the coun
ty. • He formerly belonged to the Demo
eratie"parey, •but abandoned it because of
its corruptions, its servile °Aging to reek
lean partizan leaders, ita betrayal of Free
dom in espousing the Nebraska swindle,
and its unblushing courting of of Papal
and Foreign influence. He stands boldly
upon the American• platform—for reform
ing the corruptions of partrL-for restor
ing the Missouri Compromise, and -resist
ing the aggressions of Slavery—for a mod
ification of the naturalisation laws to keep
out of the country the pauper criminals of
European.jails and workhouaes—for resist
ing the aggression/At, political Hisoutaisot
in its assaults upon our Free Institutions=-
in a word, he is an American, in favor of
American principles, and holds to the doe
trine that "AMERICANS MUST RULE
AMERICA." Upon these issues, in come
won with his colleagues on the ticket, he
goes before the people, and challenges a
verdict.
GEORGE BOYER, the nominee for
Commissioner, is a substantial and intelli
gent Farmer, of Straban township. FOr
some years be has been an active worker in
the old Whig party, but impressed with
the conviction of the alarming aggressions
of Papal and Foreign influences in oar po
litical affairs, promptly espoused the Amer
ican cause, and has been an active and effi
cient worker in the movement. Honest
capriole, and industrious, he will make a
capital COMM issoner.
JOSEPH WIERMAN, tho Centlidate
for. Director, bails from the glorious York
Springs district, where the American move
ment has fairly= absorbed both. the old po
litical parties, leaving scarcely a vestige of
LOCWOOOLSW in the district Mr. Wrart
max, like, Mr. Wtrsort abandoned the
the Democratic party_because outs betray
al of Freedom and its affiliation with polit
ical Romanisia. He is also a substantial
Fernier, of excellent businees tact and
unblemished chaptetar, aad will make a
capital officer. ,
SAMUEL P. YOUNG, the candidate
for Auditor, resides in Union township,
and enjoys an enviable reputation for hon
esty, capacity, and genera/ cleverness of
character. Before the Atherican move
ment had an existence, he was known as
an active Whig. He is also a Farmer,
of substantial means, andwill poll a heavy
vote.
CHARLES X. MARTIN, the candi
date for Treasurer, is one of our most
worthy and deseri'ing yoang men. In
duitrious, honest, and capable, he will
make an excellent and popular officer.—
Though honest as steel, be is not blessed
with a superabundance of this world's
goods, and to hint the emoluments, of the
office will not come amiss. One of the
earliest and moot efficient mumbers of the
American party in the county; no one has
labored harder oraocomplished more. for
the advancement of AMerican principles
than Mr. hLtarist. Ho deserves. wall of
the American pirty, and we hazard oath;
big in saying that he ixirdiall,
enthusiastically sustained.
Such, friends, is the ticket presebted for
your support. Is it not' in every re
spect 'worthy of the support of every vo.'
ter of the County, that desires to defeat
Locolocoisin and thus condemn the policy
of that party in its betrayal of Freedom
and in its prostitution of our Republican
privilege.. We feel proud of it, and have
no doubt that it will be Cordially ender
tied by a majority of the Voters of 'Adams
!County. Hereafter we shall have some
I reasons to urge why it should be elected.

WHIG STATE CONVENTION
"After adopting resolutions against Know.
Nothingisin, and in favor of an independent
Whig organization, and thus accomplishing all
the harm it could, the Conventipn adjourned."
I One year ago and less, the "Star" professed
to ho a Whig pitper t and lustily denied the
charge of Know•Nothingism—Now it discour.
seth as above. It has "sold out bodily" to
Xtiow-Nothingism, and, as if to quietits qualms,
for so sudden a desertion, is the more violent
for that its change is more recent :of late it
has grown splenetic ; and indulges in its last
issue, in flings at,those who, by their consistent
adherence to their and its former faith, have
silently rebuked its defection. It charges them
with endevoring to break down Americanism
—and the Whig State Conveutton witle"adopt,
ing resolutions against Know-Nothingisva.'
Now let us see, what, in the opinion of this
ngent and zealous convert, it is to adopt rest).
against Know-Nothingism
Hero is the resolution complained of—'
Resolved, That we fully and distinctly reas
sert those doctrines of religuius liberty.and.the
rights of conscience which the fathers of the
Republic,emblazoned on all our Constitutions
of Government, State and National, and that
tho exereize by a citizen, otherwise worthy, of
his inalienable right to worship 'Cod according
to the dictates of his own conscience; ought not
to raise a distinction between him and other
citizens, nor to disqualify him from a paricipa
tion in public affairs and trusts.
Now, face the music; Sir Oracle, and point
out what line or word in this- Resolution is oh;
noxious to your taste or joagmeut. Put your
finger upon it ; and let tho people know ( for
you no longer labor to snake the simple believe
that you aro not a live Know-Nothing, ) what
is in it against Knoto-Nothingistn. IVe have
been assured by others whit defend your now
faith, that it does not ofpo se or proscribe any
citizen • on account of his religious belief.—
Where then, is this affirmation ofprinoiples, is
the odioni portion that so offends your elfacto
ries ? Is it the assertion of the doctrine of re
ligious liberty ? Do you really believO..tha
all who do not hold religious or political dogmas
such as you profess, are liable, to come nn tsr
the ban and to be abridged; if not of the right
of suffrage, assuredly of the enjoyment of any
office oftrust in the gift of the people. If not,
where is•the attack on Know-Nothingism ?
But you aro stilLfurther shocked at the Whig
State Conventibn adopting resolutions in favor
of an independent Whig organization I Did
you suppose that all men can throw off their
principles, as oldiflothes? Did you not have
the charityto supiffise, that with some citizens,
consistency is ajewel, au!t that with then, there
was sincerity in political faith ; that there were
those whose memories could at least serve
them for nine months as Wilke political princi
ples they then avowed, and this, without their
own prided avowals of opposite doctrines star
ing
then . ' in the face at each shifting of their '
political vane ?
But to the climax—" And thus (the Cohen-
Con ) accomplished all the harm it cod?"
Hann I To whom ? 'Not to that noble hod;
of true WHIOS, which exists throughout this
Commonwealth, but to those - who have deser
ted. Ah I that deprecation is like thnt of the
recusant soldier on the field . of battle, who bit
terly deprecated the balls that followed him,

bor, be honest, and confess that this exhibition
of wrath, wns because the ConVention was not
"tame"- enough for your purpose,. and that of

Icwould not—it could not—it was of better
stuff than to besot but if the Convention could
only have cringed and truckled and fawned, and
been "very !ame ' " it would not have met with

after all its publisher has really some
opinions of his own, and dares avow them.
!'Richard is himself again"—and we may
cengratulate our neighbiw open this re
freshing evidenoe of returning life and
vigor. fiereafter we'rasy hope at least to
find where the "Stilling" standa, and the
doubtful have their fears relieved. As au
evidence of the sincerity of our gratulations
we copy its article verbatim. as we find it.
We like "pluck," and so well pleased are
we to find it in our neighpor that we feel
strongly like overlooking tile : personalities
and hectoring tone of his angry diatribe.
An open foe is ever, to our liking, better
than a false, professing friend. But there
aro one or two thoughts suggested by the
perutal of the "Sentinel's" labored tirade,
that, may as well . be disposed of while we
have our hand in.
1. In seek ing'for the cause of our neigh
bor's unwonted ruffled spirit,' it av ill be
observed that the "head and front of our
offending" is tho brief notice in last week's
"Siii . r"' of the doings of
,the remarkable
body, which convened in • Harrisburg a
week or two ago purporting to be a "State
Convention" of the Whigs of Penn syiva
nis. We apoke of it as having 'adopted
"resolutions against Know ,Nothingisni."
Now, has it , never occurred to the "Senti
nel" that in so doing we need the'very
words by which Mr. HARPER himself, on
his returning from Hairisburg, while -yet
the de.bstes and uttered sentiments of the
State Convention were ringing in his ears,
described its doings ? At the time of our
penning the paragraph that has so provo
ked the ire of our neighbor, we had no
knowledge of the doings of the body he so
quixotically defends, other than what was
gathered from his own lips, save the sim
ple telegraphic announcement that "the
proceedings were very tame."' 'Wo took
it for granted that thi Editor of the "Sen
tinel," fresh from, the Contrails of his
peenlier friends at, Harrisburg, knew the
character of the resolutions adopted. But
it seems that it does not even require
"nine months" for some, peoples' memo
ries to fail theol:: At least the "Sentinel"
.of Monday holds
.6 iieWividely different
/
from those its edi avived only on lite
previous Thursda I aw is this t Did
Mr. IlAnnanti oneoie the tone and
spirit. of the dell tion of his friends at
Harrisburg, or 11 be reeived ' , mew in,
terpretation there f .460 his return ?--
Our neighbor van is bii memory as serv
ing him "at leastainomoths." He will el
low us thesuggeihon tit hereafter it may
be well to consolt .. th atinemory. lest his
editorial colnunts may bray a rare Went
of that consistency whiff 'with some citi
zens is a-jowel.".:.
2. The 4 Sentinel" desires our judg
went upon the resoluen adopted by him- '
self and friends. ' Wuls aro sometimes 1
things, and eoinezigieinot hing. 'The ritA l
of Tallymnds is, not ctinct, and the dolt-
ble t entendre is: frimilntly convenient in
Pities! phrase. Ai long as the mem- 1
berg' of the "Situ° Convention" which
framed and adopted' lie resolution differ
.
so widely in its inteiremtion, it can hard-
1 3 , be expected ptact'out-eider;' however
1 oracular, to solve tb difficulty. If the
resolution simply myths to assert the great
doctrine of religidiniliberty and the inal
ienable right pf efitr;man "to worship tried I
according to the diqes of his own con
science," we unbe.atingly answer that
it is good, orthothi Americanism. If,
however, under cord of this acknowledged
principle, there njithe implication that
no kind of 'religion In be 'inimical to Re
publicanism, not in that which recog
nizes *Foreign o6tate as the orbit&
who it to - liter ini the binding obligation
pf our Censtittitionnnd laws upon the cit
izens of this Repolie—and that the avow
al of such a religioricought not to raise a
distinction betweinffiim and other citizens,
nor to disquardy . llM,from a participation ,
in publio trustetwe just as unhesita
tingly answer thatit is not good. Awed- 1
canism, ana we diitard it. Whenever the
, •Sentitael" shall hive degnitely determin
ed on this interprektion, we shall be pre
pared to answer rhether it contains an
hattackon_Know lethingism," or not.
• 8. The "Serttbal" objects that we have 1
characterized the; proceedings as "very
tame." That is :not our report of the
doings of the State Convention, but the
testimony olnliorte's telegraph. If there
be any eithptiott.of "wrath" in that, our
neighbor should pay his respects to it and
not to us. •We
,might have added that
the same dspatch pronounced the Conven
tion "an alordoa." But as these terms
are so unp )iatable, wo are quite willing , if
it satisfy is Wishes, to believe that the
11
proccedin o were not only not Lame, but
spirited.l ' For surely, there were all sorts
of spirits 'mingled there, rivaling in shape
and hue the'j:wierd sisters that troubled

Looofoco-fusionhig
ism—ali holding elose communion in the
effort to reinumitate the Whig party, and
effect a "distinctive Whig organization."
The only wonder is, how .our high toned,
conservative, and 'consistent neighbor—
who can ace tiaught but "cringing," and
"truckling," end "fawning," "longing af
ter flush-pots;" and "thirsting for , hidden
waters," in ' the American movement—
found it poisible to fraternize with ele
ments so adverse. Was it because of an
intenaer batted to that "fellowship In
which thei never`were and never intend
to be ?" " . 1f sa, why not frankly and ban
. ..
estly avow it ? •
4. But we are denounced as "recusant
soldiers on the field of battle," and on
this topic nut neighbor grows ludicrously
eloquent and valiant—
" Talks familiarly of battle-fields
And villainous saltpetre"—
and assuming the prerogative of command,
boldly arraigns , the. "deserters who have
gone after the ileeh-po is" of Americanism!
Verily, but fot the assurance that some
men
"Dash and vapor
Less on theTd of battle than on paper,"
one might be patrained to the conviction
that our neighl6 had been bred to arms,
and that the telited field was his accustomed
1
home.
al .
, `those
bailln '. aside. Why thi s hector
ing braggart it irit—this cant about "con
sistency," "g rowing off of principles like
old clothes," these low insinuations of
"hungering er flesh-pots."—;thus de
lii
nonacid again* , ose whohave dared to
break the train ;els, of partizan obligations,
and steed fort. ; kg manly defence of the
great principlaii of American Freedom ?
Why this' whodegiale imputation of selfish
and *dislionorabie purpose is characteristic
of the great Agnerican movement which
has been rolliag like a mighty wave over
the land, let?elling in its progress party
ties and pant distinotioni and invoking
the united efforts of the beet and noblest
spirits of the kind ? . There mast be a mov
ing spring--soine powerful motive—to in
duce' this bitter and unwonted tirade against
a large and poirerful party embracing with.
in its membership not a few who may safe
ly challenge ioomparison with our valiant
contemporary& as well in political fidelity
and effective Partizan . services, as in the
requisites of manly honor. Has keen die
appointment over , frustrated hopes been
doing its legitimate work ? Have you dis
covered that the '"noble body of /rue
Whip" in Adams county will not tolerate
the dictation of self constituted leaders, or
endorse the wition of self-appointed dela,
gates ? Have you realised that they will
neither be coaxed or driven into it - move
ment designed or „calculated to give "aid
and comfort". to Leicofocoisin, even if it be
in the guise o(a "distinctive organization ?'
Has the. movement proved . an utter ober
.tion ? Ilse, learn that all men were not born
to command, and Bear the lesscin patiently.
Vent not your splenetic choler upon those
who have never recognised your leader,
ship, and would contemn alike your
ill
judged counsels and inselent hootoringe.
Politics is a dangerous game to play. Bo
assured, if you have not already learned
the lesson, , that in the "future shifting of
the political vane," you may find it both
agreeable and convenient to change your
views. Honest men,it is said,do sometimes
change—fools never. Of ono other thing
be assured—this American movement is
not a pasain,g ebullition of popular feeling,
welling up for a indent, then to subside . ..
It has its origin deep in the sober convic
tions and warm affections of the MIISIIO6.
The American people are realising the con
viction that it is high time our country be
cause a little more Americanized—time
that the tide of pauper immigration should
be chocked—time that, the
,aggressions of
Papal ' power should be resisted—time
that party 'hacks' , and party' demagogues
should be taught that the people will no
longer answer to unmeaning party cries.—
The fiat has gouo fortb—"Xmericans
must rule America I" Its realization has
become . "manifest dentiny." Nor will
mum bo deterred from following, out the
convictions of duty
,by the crack of the
partisan lash—least of all when wielded by
those who, mistaking a drill-sergeant's
epaulette for the badge of leadership, un
dertake to denounce the penalties of insub
ordination and "desertion" upon those
who will not tamely submit to their com
mands.
Keep these Fuels before the Peo-
ICrln his inaugural address, Governor
Gardner, of Massachusetts, thus stated a
ease, the truth of which our working class
es have most fearfully felt during the last
six months. "The present European im
migration is deeply prejudicial to the fair
remuneration of American labor. 'rho
manufacturer; the mechanic, the artisan
and tho agriculturalist, daily suffer from its
influences. There is no statement in po
litical ethics'more palpable or fundamental
than that honest industry should receive
its reward. Those who hourly feel the
oyprossing competition of alien labor, dep
reciated under the task-masters of the old
world, and schooled in the self-denials and
modes of existence there no universal, prop
erly believe that their own, as well as the
interests of the republic, demand that their
eleetiVe franchise should be exercised for
the protection of American labor,'!
As speaketh Governor "Garitiner in be
half of.. the American working classes, so
should speak every man of them in behalf
of himself, and then protect his interests
at the ballot boa by voting—for candidates
of the American party. That working
man who may 'fail to do this, strikes a
blow for his own prostration.

ir}`What's in the wind now? Mr.

one of our most honest, courteous and

he has been continued under successive na

The lopHanlon at work In our
midst !
P. S.—Since writing the above we have
learned that some two or three weeks ago
a gentleman, representing himself to be a
Mr. Ewe, Editor of the "Organ," a Know
Nothing paper published at Washington,
drove up to Mr. WEIKEET'S store, and pro
fussed to be very solicitous to gain accurate
information as to the strength and progress
of the Know-Nothing movement in Adams
county. Mr. WEOLERT was unable to give
the requisite informition. The stranger
wanted to know how much money might
be used to advantage in the approaching
political canvass ? Mr. WEIKEBT replied
that he did not think the votes of our peo

thby were generally intelligent and think

NO WHIG ORGANIZATION.
Masses. EMTORS :—I observe in the last
"Star" the proceedings ofa Whig meeting inyour
place on the 4th inst., at which delegates wore
appointed to repOrsent the Whigs of Adams
county in a State Convention at Harrisbargi
and resolutions adopted in favor Ora "nab etive
organization" by,tho Whig party. Allow me
the priirilege o saying that this announcement
occasioned no little surprise in this section of
the county. I believe it has always been ens-
tomary to give some kind of notice when Whig
meetings are called. I certainly saw no such
notice, and so far es I have been able to learn
among my Whig neighbors no such notice was
sent to this region. Now, I claim to boa whig,
and nothing elso—l have fought long in the
,Whig ranks, and still love its principlek'and if
there was a reaonabla prospriet of eleCting
Whig candidates this fall, I hould ready to
.
work es hard as heretofore fir the good cause.
And while I am willing to submit to Whatever
policy a majority of the Whigs of the county
may determine on at this particular time, I
am not willing to regard the actionofanymeet
ing, as binding upon the Whigs of the county,
in which the Whigs as a party have not been
allowed an oportunity to participate. I have
nothing to say as to the gentlemen who com
posed the meeting, nor their motives. I don't
know how it was got up, or by whom, or why
the Whigs of the county were not notified of it.
But I hope that hereafter we will have none of
these self-constituted
„meetings pretending to
speak for tho whole party.
Arid now Messrs. Editors, while I have my
pen in my hand you will permit me to say a
word or two in regard to what I believe to be
the true policy of the Whigs of Adams county
this fall. As I said before, lam a Whig and
nothing else—l have always been a Whig,
and still am. I have no connexion with Know-
Nothingiswerceepting in so far as I approve
some oftheir loading public principles. I have
my objections to secret political associations of
any kind, and will probably retain them. But
it is evident that the contest this fall will be
between the old Lociifoco party and the Amer
icariliarty. One or the other must succeed.--
The Whig party has been so fur reduced by
defections--the Catholics going over to Loco
focoism and others to Know-Nothingism--that
it cannot by any possibility command a vote
large enough to give the faintest hope of suc
cess as it "distinctive orgarrizatio:.." But it is
atrongenough to docido the contort. By throw
ing its vote in.fnvor of the American party, it
can defeat Locofocoism, and thus effectually ac
complish the very end we have'been aiming at
for years. The Whig party owes no favors to
Locofocoism. It cannot—it ought not adopt
any, policy that would favor the success of its
ancient and still bitter fire. Locofocoism has
been growing more and more corrupt—until
large munbers of its membership have been
compelled to abandon the party and join the
American movement. They are laboring to
break down the party they have left in disgust.
lire can help them to do it., and do it effectual
ly, if we but act wisely. Let us not, follow
Whigs, throw our votes away, but cast them
unitedly for the American candidates in oppo
sition to Locofocoism. By so doing we will
have vindicated the name and fame of oar la
cf*.p?y, fle! liib:eligtorpiktervioik. This
I believe to the common feeling of our friends
throughout the county, And will be carried out
by the Whigs of HAMILTONBAN.

[COMMUNICATED
ABBOTTSTOW; Sept. 15,4,1855
Mrssns. Enrrons„--Your paper is received
with pleasure here. The bold, and indepen
dent stand you have taken against Romauists
and Foreigners—your advocating Free Schools,
Free Thought, Free Speech, and Freedom
throughout the land, meets the views of every
good Citizen. I will 'gore take occasion to
say, that '•Sam" is still about these parts,
though looked upon with a' Inlet's eye." - -
The enemy are ready to annihilate him, but
they lack one thing, viz: "Power." Thotigh
he has some of the vilest enemies here, I think
they will have to quietly submit to their fate,
in Octobef next, which will be a total route of
all who oppose •'Sam." After all is said by
Locofocoism, the difference between the Amer
ican and the Locofoco party is obvious, name
ly,—The American party opposes Romanists
and Foreigners openly, while on the contrary,
the Locofoco party opposes them in secret.—
This was plainly shown attheir meeting in' this
place, to elect Delegates to their County Con
vention. Not a Catholic was invited to attend
the meeting , and it was also requested of del
egate s "not to vote for a Catholic" "not to put
a Catholic on the County Ticket," and even
some of the number said they would not and will
not vote for a Catholic. It was a Delegate
meeting indeed I There were no less nor
More than six persons present at said meeting.
If this is denied, my name can be learned by
making application at the 's Sear and Banner"
office in Gettysburg, in which case I am wil
ling, and ready to substantiate what I said of
the. Locofoco Delegate meeting, held in this.
place. Let me say in conclusion, go On in
the good cause of Freedom. Hoping your paper
will meet with the patronage it so justly mer
its, as the exponent and advocate of American
principles, I remain, most respectfully,
"When a man once deserts the Democratic
party oven in a partial way: there is no telling
where he will stop. There is apparently no
end to his downward political career."
24E88E8. EDITORS find the above para
graph in the "Cornpikr" of Monday last.—
What does the sapient editor Mean—whom
does .he intend to hit?, Does he mean to
insinuate that, after all, the "pledges" signed
by the nominees of the anti-American party
amount to nothing—that "when a man deserts
the' Democratic party, crania in °partial way,"
he is no longer to be trusted? Now it is a
well known fact that two of the candidates
nominated by the Locofoco, party voted the
entire Know Nothing ticket last fall, while
anotherideclared but a few months ago that
althougii he was note member of the Know
Nothing Order, ho was "one in , pri 'n ci'ple and
would vote their ticket." Is "not that desert
ing the Democraticparty "even.in a partial
way,"—or are all the indignant denunciations
of Americanism that meet the eye andear,- only
in.ended for abuneemb," meaning really
nothing ?, The editor of the "Compiler" and
his coneisted co-laborers, last year supported
and voted for candidates who they knew be
longed, to the American party. Do they in
tead to play the same game this fall ? If so,
consistency at least,' if not .common honesty,
should induce them to moderate their hypo-.
critical denunciations of Americanism.

shown such to be the case in the present pos

pert*. Having for a neither geysers been a
member of that, party, honestly and to the bait
of my ability I labordd for its success, so long
as I believed it to be aiming at the edvance
ment of the country's good. When, howerer t

foetal - the party, under your guidance in this
county, following in the wake of the demi
iognes who were prostituting it to Foreign
and Papal influence, I with others abandoned
it, and enrolled myself with the American or.
ganization. For this you have seen fit to de
nounce me, in common with all who have
seen fit thus to rebuke your servile toadyism,
as a "traitor" to my country, a "midnight as
sassin," and a "fit associate for thieves and
felons." Aspiring to be the leader of the an
ti-American party in this county, and there
fore responsible for its positions, you cannot
complain of my addressing you directly and
plainly on sundry topics in which you have
figured conspicuously. Hereafter I may hare
occasion to assign some masons for my aban
donment of your party. 'At prement excuse
my reference to one or two other topics.
One of the most noticeable of your many
objections to Americariism is your continued
reiteration of the charge of "swearing men,"
to guide them in political action, and Nod
their consciences. At this you profess to be
horrorstricken—lift up your hands in holehor
ror, and utter the most doleful lamentations
over the degerieracy of the times. Has it nev
er occurred to you, air, that "consistenerAss
been called "a jewel," and that it might - be
proper for him who sets himself up as a teach
er in morals or politics, at least so to de
port himself as• not openly and unblushingly
to practice what be denounces. No one who
knows you, would so far libel your political
reputation as to charge you with' siacaity in
these professions; but there may be others not
quite so familiar with your political history,
and a decent regard for their opinion ought at
least to have suggested to you the propriety
of at least attempting to veil your insincerity.
You not only boldly and unblushingly advo
cate and endorse the propriety of the Demo
cratic party requiring delegates, candidates,
and officers to "swear" allegiat' tee to the party,
but you deliberately take the oath of fealty
yourself, and then shamelessly publish the
record of your inconsistency. Nay, more—
not satisfied with requiringan oath of party al
legiance, you go a step further and demand an
obligation reaching into the future, and bind.
ing the judgment and - consciences in all time
to come. "Verily, you swallow with a good
grace all the anathemas which for long months
you have been denouncing against "oath
bound political associations." Your masters
must be well pleased with the servile facility
with which you change front„-and the boldness
with which you publish your shame.
Jesuitism has long been famed for its suc
cess in moulding and rendering pliable the ma-
Soviet pet iayiitr &aside. you. seem to be a
teachable subject, and certainly deserve well
at the hands of the Brotherhood. You pre
peso not only to convert the great and glorious
old Democrat* pary into an "oath-bound" po
litical association, pledged to war ngaiust A
mericanism and encourage the assaults of Jes
uitism on our free institntious, but you go fur
ther, and propose to make party slaves for Mb
by crushing out individual thought and action,
and maltingthe membership subservient to the
will of the few who assume to direct the party
movements. The Jacobin leaders who, du
ring the "Reign of Terror," ruled France with
a rod of iron, could not have required mons of
the servile minions who crouched at their feet,
ready to do their every bidding. "Have no
opinions of your own but do as your leaders,
tell you," is a derelopement of Democratic
principle, so singularly strange that it strikes
me your masters might well honor you with
something in the shape of a "Red Hat" Bet
hasit never occurred to you, sir, that in your
attempts to break down and crush the spirit of
Democracy, you may break and crush your
party, by driving from it the honest member
ship P Depend upon it, air, they are not yet
all slaves,and may not be willing to follow you
in your servile pilgrimage toßome and Rome's
Master.
I have not done. For the present, however,
I close with the assurance ofdue consideration
