which has driven SO many of the people into the
organization Of this new party of the Know
Nothings. He began his political career with
the anti-Masonic movement. In a drunken
quarrel at Batavia q recanting Free Mason was
spirited away. Subsequently the body Of
dead man was picked up at Niagara Falls, and,
with the addition of a-pair Of false whiskers,
he was pronounced the veritable Morgan Upon
this imposture the anti Masonic movement was
founded. The dead man proved to be- too, as
was predicted, 70 good enough Morgan till
after the election" To this outrage upon the
living and the dead-to this miserable device
we date the rise Of W. H. Seward as q politi-
clan. Next we trace to him the iugglings and
corrupt affiliations running through se.-;as of
years between the anti-slavery societies and
the whig party Of New York and the North
We find him, also, from time to time, trading
with the anti-renters, the vote-y ourselfa-
party, the woman'syights associations, the free
negro clubs, the Fourierites, the temperance
societies, and eli the loose philosophical and
infidel and revolutionary outside factions Of the
day, as mixed together at Saratoga, Auburn
and Syracuse In our late canvass In all these
demoralizing affiliations W. H. Seward was the
bad example, which has finally resulted in so
thoroughly injecting and corrupting both the old
political parties as to render them offensive and
repulsive in the nostrils of the people.
A very conspicuous feature in these corrupt
ing and demoralizing expedients Of Seward, is
recorded in his efforts too far successful to be
soon forgotten) to bring forward the Catholics
as an active balance ospower in our political
elections. To this end 1t was w. II. Seward
who succeeded in seducing Archbishop Hughes
from his sacred duties in the pulpit, to the de-
Element of his robes in the dirty political in
trigues OF that grog-shop establishment known
as Carroll Hall. To that unfortunate beginning,
under the malign influences of Seward, may be
traced the organizing Of the Irish Catholics as
q separate political element in our elections;
