events and consequences with which the year L. |
az is pregnant? What the crisis which is then |
to be passed through--the glorious cousumaiion |
then to be achieved? The answer is ready and
undenablc. Loco Focoisin has thrown down its
mask aud stands revealed in all its deiormity. The
peslilenlial and disappointing Rndicalisn, first
generated among the orgies of Tammany Hall, is
10 be let loose upon Our land, like destroying
spirit, TO confound and overthrow all that is pre-
cious and sacred The "series of measures
which the Architects of Ruin have now the bold
ness openly to announce they intend to force upon
the country, and for which they declared the
present controversies about free trade corpora
tons, &c. "only paving the way" are as fol-
lows: -
|. The destruction oflhe system OF FREQ labor
and wages.
H. The overthrow of the Church in all its
forms and seats.
III. The abolition Of the laws relating TO the
descent Of property.
The authority for charging such designs upon
Van Burenism rests on its own declarations.
These startling Developments Of lis true charuc
ter and tendency are made by its own Partizans.
For proof we refer 10 tic following extract from
article in the last Boston Quarterly Review.
This Review is the leading loco foco organ in
New England, and is conducted by Van Buren,
Office holder:
1--WE SAY FRANKLY, THAT, IF THERE
MUST ALWAYS BE A LABORING POPU-
LATlON, DISTINCT FROM PROPRlErORS
AND EMPLOYERS, WE REGARD THE
FERABLE TO THE SYSTEM OF WA
GEES!
Wages is cunning device Of the devil, for
the benefit of tender consciences, who would re
tain all the advantages Of the slnve systSh, with
out the expense, trouble, aud odinm of being
slave holders"
"Wo really believe our NORTHERN system
lnhor is tnrc and miscellaneous
10 morals, than the Southern"
But having traced the inequality we complain
otto its origin, we proceed to ask again, what is
the remedy? The rcmcdy is FIRST 10 be sought IN
The destruction orhe Priest"
"THE PRIEST IS UNIVERSALLY A TY.
RANT, UNIVERSALLY TIE ENSLAVOR
OF HIS BRETHREN. AND THEREFORE,
IT is CHRISTIANITY CONDEMNS HIM. !!
1T may he supposed that we, professionals have
no priests but for ourselves, we know no funda-
mcnth difference between Catholic Priest AID Il
Protestant Clergynen rs we know no difference o
any magnitude, in relation TO the principles on
which they based, between Il protestant
Church and Catholic Church.
"Ihcre must he no class of men set apart and
authorised, either by law or fashion, to speak TO us
in the nnme of God, or to he interpreters of the
word of God. Gj-THE WORD or GOD
NEVER DROPS FROM THE PRIESTS
Lips!
But one might as well undertake TO dip the
ocean dry with clam SHELL as TO undertake tC
cure the evils of the social state hy converting mel
10 the Christianity Of the Church"
"We object not to religious instruction we oh
lect not 10 the gathering together OF the People
one day in seven, to sing and pray, and TO listen tt
discourse from religious teacher: bit We Oh
.ieet 10 erery hing Ike an OUTWARD visible Church
10 euery thing that in the remOest degree partckes o
a Priest"
The hereditary descent of property is AN AN
OMOLY IN OUR AMERICAN system
WHICH MUST BE REMOVED, OR THE
system ITSELF WILL BE DESTROY
ED"
"a man sl,a have all he honestly acquires ST
long as he himself belongs TO the world in which
he acquires it, BUT HIS POWER OVER HIS
PROPERTY MUST CEASE WITH HIS LIEF
AND HIS PROPERTY MUST THEN BIZ.
COME THE PROPERTY OF TIKI
STATE, [! J 10 be disposed Of by some equiab!!
law, for the use OF the generation which takes III
place"
1t is a great measure, and startling INT
rich, the business community will never consen
10 it, and we think we know too much OF h"fha'
nature TO believe that will be effected only D.
the strong arm Of physical force
1t will come lift comes AT all, only at me con
clusion of war, the like ofwhch, the word MS vel
has never Witnessed, and from which, howeve
inevitable ii may seem TO the eye OF philosophy
the heart Of HUMANITY turns with horror" y!
These IRE the measures for which the SUI
Treasury is declared 20 be the scattering wedge,
and which are TO he carried out when Locoioco
ism receives its final collsunntion in le42
When that Millennium of infdel radicalsm sl,a
arrive, all The civil and religious institutions sha
I've swept away, there shall be no moro labor, no
wages, nor schools, nor sanctuary, nor sound @
the Church going bell, during life, and when deaf
comes, your properly ifyou shall have been luck
enough'to have preserved any in such a comml
nifty, shall be tuke away from your vile and chill
dren and divided among the public
Such is the promised Utopia of Van Burensn
These are the events with which the year 1912
pregnant and which all who lend their aid to Va
Burenism in The coming contest will, if there b
truth in lis own words, assist in usherng into eA
siencc!
