For the Union
WHIGGERY.
: Destroy its webs and sophistry in vain,
The creatures at its dirty work again.


1t is hardly necessary call mind the various shapes
and phases assumed by that modern Proteus whggery
since the days Of alien and sediton federalism TO the pres
en time Driven from every lurking hole and stripped Of
its masks il has been held up to the detesahon of all
good the enemy of freedom but it is creature of
wonderful resources for is il detected and ex
posed in shape than it another Its last dodge
is know-nothing which garb it out the
dsneresed patriotic, and tolerant creature that
appeared Spreading its sy web with vast and
cunning has made out TO enange in its meshes various
unthinking and yielding democrats some OF whom one
would suppose had much strength to be detained and
inundated they most certainly will be- the altar OF
whiggery Death does follow disease with more GER
tnty than will disappointment and modification be the
lot all true democrats who have entered and continue
in the bonds of know nothngism Determined TO and
know for myself what ends and aims Of this order
suddenly sprung among keeping in mind that excellent
maxim Prove all things; hold fast to that which is
good took the inatory and other degrees In time TO
participate in late election for mayor was present at
all the meetings / could attend where soon discovered
that my whg friends had it all their way 1t is true
in some of councils they selected democrats to preside
but it only tickle them with the idea that old polit
ica names be abandoned and both parties were TO
unite their strength against foreigners and the Pope who
were couured NJ be tremendous ogres ready to swallow
our liberties 4th OF July before breakfast and some
sweak brethren have been made TO believe it. How
ridiculous to think that intelligent free born Americans
should be frightened from their propety by such mser
bic stuff
AT first took active part in the proceedings, with
to test wing honesty and sincerity and just
as foresaw and which any could have foreseen with
half an eye every proposition having democratic tenden
CIV was Immediately voted down. and the mover silenced
so contented myself with being "looker-on in Vienna
and let them have it all their way What the
suit? The whole power of the city thrown into wing
hands and Notwithstanding all their pretended horror for
foreigners the immediate Of Englishman was Sc
lected as their candidate for mayor
We well know that of all the people of Europe none
have so great reverence or so attachment for
their own government the English They glory in their
constitutional monarchy and splendid aristocracy and
don't much blame them for with all her tyranny and
pacity England fills glorious page in the history OF Eu-
rope and of the world and of all foreigners who come
among u.s. none are more be feared (if such thing
could bel than Enghmen Few there be that come COM
pared with others but bring such deeprooted pre
dccs TO free institutions they, and it takes at least
one generation to eradicate those prejudices
Mr. Towers put forth as the know-nothng or ma
tive American candidate Was he elected by exclusive
native Not bit OF it, There was hardly an Eng
shnan Scochman in the city, entitled to vote who
did not vote for him. The is quite obvious Few
OF them are found voting for democrats and since
the election the wings have boosted that they wheedled
many good honest Germans to vote their ticket The
wings may rejoice the of their trick and laugh
at the ease with which they caoed democrats to aid them
The same game has been played successfully in other
places and they enjoy ephemera triumph over de-
mocracy but like all their past trumphs, it will only
deepen the modification of future defeat The destiny of
our glorious Union has been placed by alwise Provi
dence in the hands of democracy So far prosperity
has been without example in the history of nations and
relying on the guidance of Providence shall pros
