Southern Argus. [volume] (Columbus, Miss.) 1834-1842, 1840-08-25

George Bancroft, the collector
i the port Of Boston, and Professor
Brownson, are interchangeable IN spreading
Iholr baleful and dangerous democratic
doctrines. In New York, the Slamms,
and the Mings, with.the New Era and
the Evening Post, scatter the seeds OF
Agrarianism and infdelty; and, i'll am
not much mistaken, you have even IN
Van Buren, lecturer, who
belongs TO the, same ln6del school whose
voice is repeatedly heard in defence OF
Van Burenism & the doctrines of inhdel-
ify. What means all this Is it not
alarming to every believer in the truths
of Christianity? Does It not smack OF
the Jacobinsm of Marat, Rosseau, Ro-
bespierre and Dantonl Is Van Buren,
democracy, and ''equal rights" and "eqadI
privileges" Synonymous with Agrarianis0
and inhdelityf 1t seems SO.
Let US see what Professor Brownson.
proposes. He first announces that the
Sub. Treasury bill is only IAN entering
,cedge 70 other maneuvres and experiments
which he defines as follows:
lst. The destruction of the institution
Of cages for labor. "Wages," says he,
"is cunning device of the devil, for ten
der consciences, who would retain all the
advantages Of the slave system, without
the expense, trouble and odttn Of being
shareholders. His object, no doubt is,
TO excite laborers against employers, and
to revolutionize that Wholesome institution
which secures to labor its just reward.
2d Having endeavored to Undue the
minds of workingmen with discomfort
and malice, he seeks to direct the force
Of the battery thus constructed against the
institutions of RELIGION, against the
| CHURCH, SCHOLARSHIPS and
! MINISTER'S OF THE GOSPEL. He
says: -''For our part, we yield to none
in cur reverence for science and religion
but we confess we look not for the regen-
Grafton Of the race from Priests and Ped
agogues. They have had fair trial.
They cannot construct the temple O.
God. Again-"The Priest is universal.
~ tyrant, universally the enslaver of his
brethren" There must be no class 0
men set apart and authorized, either by
law or fashion, to speak TO US in the name
of God, or to be interpreters of the WORD
of God.-THE WORD OF Con NEVER DROPS
FROM PRIESTS LIPs!!"
T Sd. He proposes TO destroy all banks
and asserts that every friend of the sys
tenn must be marked as an enemy TO his
race.
9TH. His fourth proposition is to '4ak
a,Oay mans property at his death an
gire IL to the STATE 7" Hear him: 90
nan shall have all he honestly acquires
so long as he himself belongs TO the worl'
in which he acquires it. But his powe
over his property must cease with his life
and his property must then become tn
property ortbe State!
These arc the eman9uvnes and oxper
ments" which are to follow the sub-treas
ury if Mr.. Van Buren, is elected! Tines
are the measures which are now concoc
, ing in the political laboratory Of locofocc
ism. The laboring classes are to be il
famed and called on TO PROSTATE the cler
gy, schoolrnasters, banks and churche
and urged on TO this work with the pro-
Pect ofthe 'sPoILs OF v1cToBY,'--in sha

Such is locofocoism, as sci forth by tn
