GROSS HYPOCRISY.
Oar opponents, the Van Buren, regula-
tors ofpublic sentiment, seem inclined to
monopolize all the decency, all the piety
and all the temperance in the land. Their
sneers at log cabins and those who dwell
in them, plainly indicate the worth and
sincerity of their professions of democra-
cy. Their holy horror at the imaginary
inroads the political cry of hard cider is
making on the cause of Temperance
might be commendable under certain cir
cumstances, but as it is, they had better
shut their mouths or peculiar odor pro-
ceeding therefrom may expose them. We
took up our pen, however, to say some
thing about matter which we think ought
10 be corrected. Some weeks since the
Gazette of this place published an account
Of what was termed "Blasphen,ous
Outrage;;' and it would have been right
ly named if it had been true. We believe
IL first appeared in the Circleyille Watch
man, and depicted in glowing colors the
blasphemous desecrations of one of the
most solemn ordinances of the church, at
a log cabin raising in Ohio. The writer
of ii was waited on and the only excuse
ne made was the acknowledgment that
the story was merely the product of his
own imagination and that he thought, at
the time it would appear as uery GOOD
joke! Although we published the refu-
tation of this vile SANDER on the Wings
of Ohio about the time the SANDER itself
appeared in the Gazette, yet we have new
er seen that refutation in the Gazette.
STARTLING DOCTRINES-AGRA.
RIANISM.
While we are on this subject we cam
not avoid calling the readers attention to
one OF the most revoltingly blasphemous
paragraphs that ever fell from the lips of,
the most abandoned of Gods creation. LII
is toast delivered in Virginia on the 18th
of July, and was taken from a list of manyI
nearly as bad in the Richmond Enquirer,
the loco foco organ of the South, and is
as follows
Washington, Jackson, and Van BUREN,!
Washington the Creator, Jackson the s ,uiour
and Van Burcn the Comforter of the American
People
We should be sorry 10 think that such
a sentiment as the above would be res
pended 10 i'll any other way than by Al
shuddei from a majority even, of the Van
Buren, party. Blu, recent Developments
confirm US in the opinion that large por-
ton Of the leaders in that party have a
deep laid plan in train to overthrow not
only the political institutions of our coun-
try, but those of Religion and Morality
likewise. The civil. political and relii-
gious principles the maintenance of which
induced our pilgrim fathers TO forsake
their homes-to endure the fatigues and
prlvatlons OF dreary and dangerous yoy-
age-to take up their abode among sava-
ges IN an unknown wilderness-are all to
be set aside and new order of things is
proposed to be established. When we
look at the list of these reformers and see
such names as Brownson, Fanny Wright.
Robert Dale Owen, Abner Kneeland
and many others, even in this Territory,
whom we could name--indiyiduals who
stand committed to oppose those institu-
tons that are the glory of our land-we
should tremble for our country did we
not believe there existed a Power Infinite
iy superior to the combined intelligence
that is thus leagued together in sappinp
the foundations of our republican, that
that Power will, as ii has done heretofore
shield US from every overthrow that NAV
be contemplated by wicked men and thus
cennteract all their evil intentions.
Inc holiness with which Mr. Brown.
son has declared the sentiments of the
leaders OF his party, shows too plainly
that he has powerful hackers. FAKE the
same cur that yesterday in COMPANY will,
his master, snarled and barked at the stran.
ger in the street, and let him appear alone
III that street to-day anI he will slins
away with his tail between his legs At tbe
sight OF the same stranger, because he has
no master there 10 back him. Who ba.
not observed this. So with Brownson
He would hardly breach the doctrines ,ha
are found IN his recent Essay, so boldly
Ill opposition to every social, relative anf
religious tie that binds society together
had he not assurances that these doctrine,
would be palatable tothose in power. In
deed we may read this in the commenda
lions of some oftbe leading Government
papers of the day. and more PARTICULAR,
IN The New York Evening Post.
