fl Letter TO the AasolC-V'O
things.

You profess to be inspired with the pa
triotic intention of averting dangers, which,
in your opinion, threaten the Republic, and
you have already given ample proofs of
your powers of action. Every new cleo
ton secures for you a new triumph. And
who will wonder at your success You
have hit upon one of the most popular pref
udices of the age, and thousands will join
you in your crusade against Catholics and
foreigners.
In olden times, when a disease broke
out, the poor Jews were chargedwith pois-
oning the cisterns. Nowadays the Cath
oIics and foreigners have done it.
The evil of slavery, the corruption of the
body polite, the contempt for lator, the ar
istocracy Of the upper classes. all this will
vanish as soon as you have banished the
Catholic and the foreigner from L position
of political equality with his fellow-men.
passion and fanaticism vii cease to
clnbitter the slavery agitation. The Slave
States will agree to a gradual emancipa-
ton of their slaves, and will insist upon the
prohibition of slavery in new States and
Territories, provided the Free States cease
10 exasperate them by blindly insisting up
on absolute abolition where it is impracti-
cable. Members of Congress will scorn
10 accept their eight dollars day and their
mileage, and will become angels of purity
and patriotism. No maneHill henceforth
be allowed TO become candidate for Con-
gtess unless Jury has decided that he
possesses all the intellectual, patriotic and
moral capacities to qualify him for the task.
Those VINO prostitute the sacred principle of
'Self-government' by pandering to the vilest
passions Of the yilest mob, and who sane
ton the Jesuitism that 'self-goyernment'
includes or jlstifies the right of doing some
thing which is wrong, will be pronounced
traitors to God and their country. Those
who stick 10 the letter of the Constitution,
but all the while disregarding its spirit, and
who thus lay foundation for Jesuitism and
despotism, will be likewise looked upon as
traitors, just as hypocrites who repeat the
words of the prayer book, but who disregard
the spirit of religion, will be looked upon
universally acknowledged. The Knicker-
bockers of New York, the Puritans of New
England, the old families of Maryland, the
gentry of Virginia and Kentucky, will drop
their morbid family pride. The aristocra-
cy of wealth In the large cities will own
the soft Goldfish impeachment, and will lay
aside their afectations. Rich and titled
foreigners will not any longer be received
like demigods In society. Boston will
cease to be thrown into mysteries of admi-
ration by the arrival of an English celebri-
ty. American artists, if they happen to al
ly modesty to genius, will not any longer be
treated with contumeiy and Indifference.
Splitting, chewing, gambling, drinking
staggering. dealing In slaves, swindling
will ceaee foreyermore. Anglican bishops
will cease to shake hands with the Arch.
bishop of Rome, and begin to sympathize
with the Uni:arian's idea of practical Chris
tianity. The Gospel of Christ will guide
every citizen in his private life, and the
gospel of Washington in his public life
The Intellectual and moral power of wo-
man will be more and more appreciated, land
the cold, systematic benevolence in the Free
States will be enlivened and humanized by
an infusion of a genuine, active, practical
sympathy; and in the South the now pre-.
vailing sensual rowdyism will disappear in
the same degree as slavery disappears, to
make. place for a higher tone in woman
and -more modesty in man. The old
worlds horrible policy of allowing evils te
accumulate until, too huge to be reached
they disease the whole human family, vii
be superseded here by the Christ-like idea
of preventing evils from. originating, ane
leave the gigantic efforts of pulpit, school
house and press, to keep soul, heart and
brain in healthy growth and progress
Life will be held in higher value, and hous.
es, railways and steamboats, will be bull
with view of preventing accident
In one word, society will be cured Of all
its diseases, and all this viii come to pass
as soon as Catholics and foreigners are
crowded out from the ranks of citizens. Il
