GEORGE KREMER.
No. w.


We make departure from the course originally
marked out, when we commenced these sketches,
by Introducing to the not3e of the public, Mr..
GEORGE KREMER, Representative in the
United States Congress, from the Ninth Congress
ional District of Pennsylvania. This gentleman,
1--WE allow him the appellation, although it is not
likely there ever was man who wore II with less
yracc) has figured in the councils of the nation,
with Messrs. M'Dufe, Ingham, Benton, Randolph
and Company AMI as nc may of right be consider
ell the original organ and prostituted tool Of that
faction which is now engaged in the patriotic busi'
ness of denouncins and anathematisns all who do
not accede to their vile plans, we shall lay what we
know Of his history before the public There are
two descriptions of Dutchmeu who inhabit Penn
.ylvana, one of which is called High Dutch or
German, and are considered very uieful and in
dustrious kind of people, somewhat given to reli-
gious bisotry, but remarkable for their sobriety
and correctness of department.. The other is called
Low Dutch, or TO make use of the Pennsylvania
coynomen. we shall call them Black Dutch, the on
ly name they are distinguished by there or in the
western country This class Of people are noto-
rious for their didness meanness, cowardice and
knavery, and for their frequent display of all the
vices of which man, since the fall of Adam, has
been guilty.
Ciassed among themselves, and notorious for
their vices, they are sedulously stunned by all 9TH
er people who reside them, and are looked
upon only TO be hated and despised In their
friendships they are capricious, in their hostility
deadly; but not possessing sufficient courage to
meet their opponents in the open day. they skulk
beneath the mantle of midnight, and assassinate and
destroy the innocent and unsuspcctins, at a moment
when they rest in supposed security.
To this unciviized race of beings belong, Mr..
GEORGE kREMER, member of the United States
Congress, from populous district in Pennsylvania
"a man who is about capable of performing the
duties connected with his office, as he is of" steer
Ing the ship of Heaven" Mr.. KREMER, in early
life, found at the plough, whistlins the tune of
Mynheer Won Tromp, and carelessly vending his
way over the cornfieds of his father. AS he was
one of your close calculating Dutchmen, he soon
accumulated small sum Of money; ind NE
purchased tavern license md a barrel of whskey,
with which he set up business, and began his march
towards that goal of greatness which he
oupies. The whiskey drinkers Of the neshborhood
thronged to the sign Of the Cross Keys and they
wallowed in the filth Of the bar-room, and swallow
cd large poatons of the inebriaing beverage, they
became enamoured Of the host. who got them
drunk to gain Their support and it was in the
midst OF a bacchanalian riot that the keeper Of the
Cross Keys elevated to the dignified office of
constable. The road to preierment was now open
to Mr.. Boniface Kremer, and he marched on from
Office 10 Office, till at last he found himself men,
Der Of Congress. His elevation to that body was
undoubtedly purchased with the whiskey he lbe
rally difued among the topers-for whilst he pour.
ed down their throats the inebriating contents Of
the can, he secured their sufrases, and obtained
their support The Cross Keys was the resort of
all the tippler of his distrct-and even at this mo.
menl, when retired from Con sress, he employs him
self in making nilt julcps, and in whirling the
toddy stick for his enlightened constituents.
MIR. KREMER made his first appearance in
Congress, some where about the year 1919, and was
soon distinguished for his impudence and destution
ofevery thing gentlemanly or even manly, and was
at once noted as the brute and pig of the Assem-
bly,. His impudence was the most nsolent and
brazen kind, and those who were anxious of fexecu-
ting strategems against the country, selected him
for their willing and subservient tool and from that
day he has been the pimp and pander of lit
tie faction, which has for more than eight years ex-
listed in this country.
His. first speech-if indeed his ribaldry he en-
titled to the name-of any length, was made at the
time that bill was before The house for an appro
priation in favor Of Mrs. PkRRv, when, because
Mr.. CLAI had opposed its passage, aud because
Mr.. RASDoLrH had advocated it, he came out in
lis favor, and said number Of very civil things. for
the first time in his life and il i. said that he wa.
mortified after he sat down, to find he had been de.
cent. After this period nothing was heard from him.
excepting on the day, when he quoted volley Of
Low Dutch, 10 reply to the Latin Of Mr.. DwreH 7,
Of Massachusetts,. But when the election ofPr,si.
