! The natrotic Democrat is not intimdated by shad-
ows and prefers to engage real rather thah an lt
| aginary enemy , D., e,.at
Rr;tain in 1872 The Federal party denounced that
war and gave all and comfort to the enemy. Inc
New England States generally refused AID IN the DC
fence of their Country, while their pulpit resounded
in denunciations of the war, of Mr. Madison, ana OF
declared war against Mexico The wing press
Wig orators and, Wing preachers OF the Gospe,
condemned that war one which was UNJUST AND
l. UNuoLY"-''a WAR OF RAPlNE and PLONDhh
ia WAR OF CONQUEST.
Now we ask our Democratic friends if, during Ell
Their of these wars they erer heard OF jesuit TeS'
preaching sermons against the Government ana sym
pathzing with the enemies of the country. Let the
truth he spokcni Truth should have an utterance,
and an audience somewhere, since fasehood has so
MANY followers Truth is from God-Falsehood
proceeds from the Devil who is the father OF hes.
Did not 1850 Clerical gentlemen, during the last
session If CONGRESS undertake in the NAME OF AL
MIGHTY Cop to PROTEST against the passage OF the
Nebraska bill?-a democratic naedsure-and oio
they not threaten the Senate OF the United states
with the RIGHTEOUS JUDGEMENTS OF GoD, II tnat DIN
shonld passP Here was a formidable body of 1850
preachers sinterfering" with the legislation OF the
Country-And yet sensible man thought his
liberties were in danger. Now, listen There are
in the whole United States, including California,
Oregon Nebraska and Kansas $50 Jesuit Priests
ONLY one hundred and eighty Does the number
terrify any sensible man! These horrible Jesuits
have never denounced our Government when en-
gagged in foreign war; 1t they nave wne e IS Tue
proof? They have never sympathizcd with the en-
emy,-if they have where is the proof? But on
the contrary the Rev. John McElroy, for twenty
odd years q resident of this city, and the KEY: MI
Rev. of Georgetown College, at the request OF Pres
ident Polk went Mexico to minister to the Gath
Ole officers and soldiers, who were there nSnnhs
against Catholic Mexico And the Rev Mr. Key
was murdered by the Mexican Guerrillas, While In
the service "f his Country.
Only 1s0poor despsed Jesuit Priests in the whole
Country-not one of whom has even been known to
make political speech-not one of whom has ever
signed a remonstrancc PROTEST against a
Nebraska, or any other bi-most of whom rarely
if ever vote,-lnd, yet, democrats! the tricksters,
hypocrites and demagogues of the Wing Know
Nothing organization, would persuade you that
YOU must desert your old Democratic talth III which
you have lived all your lives, and Join the ranks Of
the midnight patriots, to battle against the $50
Jesuits What a farce! What an insult to intelll-
gent menl Democrats, can you be thus guiled 2
Can you be caught with such chatf? Is not the
great Democratic party able to whip these $50
Priests and the Pope of Rome in the bargan?-Ihe
Democratic party has declared all the wars, hereto
fore, in which the Country has been engaged
These just and necessary the declarations
of Wing politicians and Wing preachers to the con-
trary notwithstanding. And every intllig ent Dem
ocrat knows, full WE'LL that while power remains
in the hands of his party enemy will be allowed
to trample upon American rights with impunity:
But Democracy means truth, justice, charity,
equality, benevoence, liberaty, and generosity
it will not lie it will not do act of injustice, It
it will not SANDER the innocent. Above all Democ-
racy is courageous-t fears no enemy. 1t fears not
the crowned heads of Europe. 1t fears not the ven
venerable old man known as the Pope of Rome
nor does fear the $50 poor Jesuit Priests in the
United States.
