The White slaxe, slander.

In the last PRESIDENTIAL canvass ono OF the chlcl
missiles Of Loco-F Focoism was round assertion
that Gen. Harrison had voted TO sell poor White
men into Siarery tor Debt. The truth of the
matter was that Gen. Harrison voted that men
condemned to fine and Imprisonment for petty
crimes, and who were to stand committed till such
fines were paid, and had no means of payment,
should be sold to labor for the shortest term
that any one would pay their fine for. This
was called very nhuman and yet 1t would
ouzzlc any man TO show that it would be more
humane to let prisoner remain forever in Jail
than to work out his fine in two or three months
on farm. But selling poor chite men into
slavery" was a good eectioneerng cry, and we
doubt not some were ignorant and simple enough
to be fooled by it.
Loco Focosmis now attempting the same game
on Mr. Clay. Its presses are boldly asserting
that Mr.. Clay, in the debate on the Missouri
question, said
mus lei us have white ones for freyood
and black shoes and have our wives and our daughters
work IN the kitchen.
This is credited by them to speech Of Hsnry
Clay; though they know right well that there is
no such speech, and that they arc cheating their
readers. We have already exposed the iniquity,
and yet we will have patience to expose it again.
The most consistent and thorough allegation
against Mr. Clay we find quoted in the Loco Foco
papers from the Abolition Emancipation, which
pursues Mr.. Clay with most envenomcd hatred,
and whose Editor spends his winters in Washing
ton, digging out matter whcrewith to blacken
Mr. Clay. We presume the five Loco Congress
sonal cerlifiers against Mr.. Clay, were indebted
to this Editor for the groundwork of their ccrt!f-
cate He says the sentiment attributed TO Mr.
Clav, was uttered on the 18th Of February, 1919,
but he has the National Intcllisencer OF the next
and following days, and can find nothing of the
kind there. But on the l7th of February,
u-lS20, year and day after Mr. Clay is &C
cused of uttering what is above quoted, Mr.. Rich,
of Vermont, made speech on the other side,
which speech is reported in the National Inte-
gencer Of July lSt, 1920, Orer Sirtcen months
after Mr.. Clay's speech to which It refers. To
this printed speech-not in his speech as uttered
there is appended note, which says:
when this subject was under consideration al me a't ses
,on honorable Speaker tCny remarked 10 the tooins
sFtc.." Then follows the above Quotation.l
Thus it will be seen that the charge against Mr..
Clay was not made at all by Mr.. Rich TIL over a
year after Mr.. Cays unreported remarks, and
WAS not then made in Congress, but IN note 10
a speech printed alter Congress had adjourned.
And even then he does not charge Mr.. Clay with
using the 1ords SO coolly quoted nowadays as
Mr. Cay's, but only something TO the sane
effect, Is this evidence Is this testimony on
which fair jury or a fair man could convict Mr.
lay OF uttering the sentence attributed to him 2
We ask but righteous judgement.

% tho remoter causes Of these dreadful occurren-
ces. Can we err in affirming that these are to be
found in the new and exciting ingredients which
have recently been infused into our Political con-
tests Must not such collisions have been fore
seen, have they not clearly been caused, by thosc
who have thrust Religious differences into the
Political arena WHO have built up new party
on sectaran prejudces and national antpa'mes
whose meetings have resounded with lerce de-
nunciations Of the creed of a particular Church
who have boasted through their public journals
that their victory in this City has established the
glorious Protestant asceadency,' &c. &c
Even in Philadelphia, the origin Of the present
excitement is popular demand that the children
in the Common Schools provided for and support
ed by men of all crecds and of none, shall be 10
structed in the Protestant version Of the Bible !;
the Catholic Bishop only asking that MS people
all be permitted TO use the version approved by
their own Church. But no-Nativism assumes
that this is a Protestant country-not country
in which all men have equal and full Liberty to
worship God as they think proper-but land OF
Protestant ascendency,' and OF course Of Catho-
lie subordination. Can it be expected that such
assumptions, with such arguments as are used IN
Native meetings to sustain lhem would not N
view of the well known characteristics, both good
and evil, of our Catholic Irish population, lead to
violence and bloodshed VIC do not justify their
conduct-fa. from it-but we do MAINTAIN that
those who have famed into fame the embers OF
this Politico-Religious phrenzy have taken on
themselves a fearful responsibility. Let them
ponder it deeply!
u 1t is but just to say that the Native
American papers of Philadelphia utterly and
strongly rcprobatc the ou.rages Of "Wednesday
evcning-the burning Of Churches, &c. They
profess to disbclicve that it was the work of any
Of their party saying it was the act of few half
grown boys, &c. sc.
