The pilot and transcript. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1840-1841, 1840-08-04

q I. The destruction Of the system Of free labor
and wages
II. The overthrow Of the Church in all its
forms and sects.
III. The abolition of the laws relating to the
descent of property.
The authority for charging such designs upon
Van Burenism rests on its declarations. These
startling Developments of its true character ana
tendency are made by its own partizans. For
proof we refer to the following extract from an
article in the late Boston Quarterly Review
This RI view is the leading loco-foco organ in
New Fngland, and is conducted by Van Buren,
office-holder.
awe say frankly, that if there must always
be a laboring population, distinct from proprie-
tors and employers, we regard the slave system
as decidedly preferable to the system Of
wages."!U
eWages is a cunning device Of the devil, for
the benefit of tender censciences, who would re-
tain all the advantages of the slave system,
without the expense, trouble, and odium of be-
ing shareholders"
awe really believe our NORTHERN system
of labor is more oppressive, and more mischie-
vous to morals, than the Southern"
s.Brt having traced the inequality we complain
O. to its origin, proceed to ask again, what is
the remedy? The remedy is first to be sought
in the destruction Of the Priest"
"Ihe Priest is ttniuerSGllyd ty7dnt, universal
ly the enslaver of his brethren, and therefore
it is Christianity that condemns him." !!
sIt may be supposed that we, protestants,
have no priests; but for ourselves, we know no
fundamental difference between Catholic Priest
and Protestant clergyman, we know no diff.
ference of any magnitude, in relation to the prin-
ciples on which they are based, between a Pro-
testant Church, and Catholic Church"
esThere must be no class of men set apart and
authorised, either by law or fashion, to speak to
us in the name of God, or to be interpreters of
the word of God. gz-THE WORD OF GOD
NEVER DROPS FROM THE PRIESTS
LIPS"
"But one might as well undertake to dip the
ocean dry with clam she'll, as to undertake to
cure the evils of the social state by converting
men to the Christianity of the church."
owe object not to religious instruction we
object not to the gathering together of the peo-
pie, one day in seven, to sing and pray, and to
listen to a discourse from religious teacher
but tce object to every thing like an otttacard,
viSbIe ch1rch; to eUe1y thing that, IN the re-
hottest degree, portakeS Of the Priest" =!
s.The hereditary descent of property Is AN
ANOMALYIN OUR AMERICAN SYSTEM,
WHICH MUST BE REMOVED, OR THE
SYSTEM ITSELF WILL BE DESTROY

"a man shall have all he honestly requires, so
long as he himself belongs to the world in which
he acquires it. BUT HIS POWER OVER HIS
PROPERTY MUST CEASE WITH HIS
LIFE, AND HIS PROPERTY MUST THEN
BECOME THE PROPERTY CT THE STATE!!
to be disposed of ly some equitable law, for the
use of the generation which takes his place"
esIt is a great meaeure, and startling. The
rich, the business community will never consent
to it, and we think we know too much OF human
nature to believe that it will ever be effected
peaceably 1t will be effected only by the strong
arm of physical force"
ssIt will come if it comes at all, only at the
conclusion of war, the like of which, the world
as vet has never witnessed, and from which,
however inevitable it may seem to the eye OF
PHILOSOPHY, the heart of HUMANITY recoils with
horror
These are the measures for which the Sub
Treasury is declared to be the s'entering wedge"
and which are to be carried out when Locofs-
coism receives its final consummation in 1912!
When that Millennium of infdel radicalism shall
arrive, all the civil and religious institutions
shall be swept away, there shall be no more la
Dor, nor wages, nor schools, nor sanctuary, nor
sound of the church going bell, during life; and
when death comes, your property, If you shall
have been lucky enough to have preserved any in
such community, shall be takea away from
your wife and children, and divided among the
public!
Such is the promised Utopia of Van Burenism.
These are the events with which the year 1912
is pregnant, and which all who lend their aid to
Van BurenIsm in the coming contest will, ifthere
b. truth in its own words, assist it ushering into
existence!
