American Republican and Baltimore daily clipper. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1844-1846, 1844-11-14
[For the American Republican. /

MEssRs EplToRs-The time has at last ar
rived when party prejudice is about to cease its
Abaneful influence upon the minds of American
|Icitizcns, leaving them free to reflect on the
past and when reason is about to resume her
|throne, we may conclude that change in our
Ipolitical affairs will naturally follow That it
IS high time that change for the better should
I be commenced, every lover of his country will
admit; and gentlemen, the proud and patriotic
stand you have taken in this moral reform of
she abuses and innovations upon our political
rights, is deserving of that liberal support
(which no doubt the American Republicans of
baltimore can and will give. In your paper
of the It'll instant, | find you decline calling
1ward meetings, as requested by resolution of
"a meeting of the first and second wards. No
1oubt you have been governed by sense Of
Spropriety in this matter, and | therefore beg
leave through the medium of your paper to
,ail the attention of the citizens of Baltimore
% this subject. As native born citizen | am
free to confess, that feel deep concern for
my country; not alone on my own account, but
k>n account of my Children who are - come
tlter me. This believe was the principle that
governed our patriotic forefathers, who fought
and bled for, and won from Kings their liber-
les, and bequeathed them to us as glorious
Inheritance, which the slaves of kings shall

all, and admitted by many rejecting men of
both the great political parties, that frauds of
he basest character, and corruptions most foul
1ave been practised upon the rights Of Ameri-
,an citizens, by designing and unprincipled po-
tical demagogues; and as foreigners have be-
come ready instruments in the hands of such
men to destroy our liberty and trample upon
our rights, is it not time that we should take
teps to arrest an evil fraught with SO much
iangcr to the stability and perpetuty of our
epublcan institutions? And in as much as
here appears to be conflicting opinions in re-
yard to the principles and policy of the Ameri-
IAN Republican party, | would suggest the
,ropriety to all who feel an interest in the
,eace and quiet of our common country, to
meet in their primary assemblies, III every ward
n the city, and there appoint ten delegates
rom each ward to meet in general convention;
me object of which would be to organize as
,arty, and prepare an address setting forth our
principles, (which would have the effect of re-
novng the prejudice that many entertain,)
nd which are to govern our party; and let the
World see that we will not in any manner or
ray connect ourselves, or in any way be con-
ected with any religious sect or denomination,
caving every creed to its own strength, and
very man to his own faith untramcled; unit
1g ourselves together as political band of
rothers, and adhering for ourselves to the sole
ause of our common country to the re-estab-
tshment of her national character and the
erpetuity of our glorious institutions, through
he agency of our own citizens, as separate
eople, high and above the influence of mon
|rchial despotsms.
