Daily American organ. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1856, 1854-12-30

The following most ridiculous article is pub
lished this morning by the Washington seati
aet which press, we suppose, has joined the
forces Of Pierce and Forney, to aid in crush
ing out Americaaism. II is copied by the
Sentinel from the T" American Celt, and intro,
duccd thus g7
"The American Celt, in its annual address to its
readers, speaks in the following forcible and strk
ing language Of the new secret society"
Very forcible, and very striking language in,
deed, Mr.. Sentinel, as our readers will now see,
to witt:
1T is dreadful thing to engage whole peo
pie, upon oath, to conceal their political designs
to swear them to be foresworn, to instruct them In
meeting, moving, and acting, without the pale o.
the accepted Constitution. Those who have taught
that lesson TO this generation Of Americans, have
rc-revolutionzed the country. The republic Of
Washington Is at an end and the republic OF Buat.
line Is beginning To-day it is the secret societies
against the Church; tomorrow, they may under
take TO regulate wages to legislate property, to
establish secret police and secret tribunals for tile
summary punishment of all who denounce or de-
sert them
1t says: If they should triumph in tho Presi-
dental election of 1855 then the republic of WASH
ngton is at an end, and that Of Buntline begins.
Already they have sorely shaken three Of the pill
lars Of the old constitution, freedom of religion oil
speech, and Of the press. They are avowedly con-
federated against one religion, against publicity,
and TO deny the knowa truth. Where the majority
governs and the majority conspires, the revolution
be done at any tme the spirit of the constitution
strangled In secret, has already departed"
y What ''drcadfu1 Miag'it must be in
deed, in the view Of an Irish Catholic, = that
any people should "upon oath conceal their
political designs, when the whole system of
Jesuitism under which such persons are born
and reared, is founded in the most perfect So
crecy, and sustained by oaths which render
the Jesuits unsafe citizens in any government,
under which civil and religious liberty have an
abiding place What dreadful thing that
Geemen and republicans should meet in secret,
to consult upon tho best means Of thwarting
the Vaccinations of the tools of foreign des-
pots Shed more tears, We crocodiles! An
ocean of such tears would not suffice to wash
out your sins
Does it accord with the moral sense of the
Sentinel to republish the contemplate SANDER
that the American party originated with
Ned Bantlins' If 50, go ahead
But hear tho Celt What an awful calamity
has befallen the country 1t says:
Already have they TX. N.s) sorcly shaken
three Of the pillars Of the old constitution freedom
of religion, Of speech, and Of the press"
The "religion' Of the Cet is quito 9. free
enough, or it would not utter such palpable
untruths without computations Of conscience
Its speech" is " free" even free from truth
or candor. Its "press" is assuredly' free, or
such libcls would terminate its existence Does

Weare not surprised that such presses as
the Celt should publish such nonsense, but we
confess our surprise that tho Washington Sen
tincl should rcpublish it, and dignity it with
the terms ".torei6le and striking language"
