wogsd seem then from this aan0unet-
ment. that the object of this new organiza-
ton which has sprung into existence as il
BY magic, and carried as sudden desolation
to old party lines, as ever followed the
cholera in its mission of death and destruc-
ton to the human race, is to wage wal
OF determination against foreigners gene
rally, and Catholics in particular. It i:
but another name 70. the Wing party
Having been condemned to death by the
voice of the American people, and its doc
trines and tenets openly repudiated and
spit upon by the suffragans Of this confed-
erac!, the Wing party seeks to revive its
vitality under the garb of secresy. Here.

policy Of action, they could be me, by the
weapons Of argument, and the anti-repub
lican tendency Of their measures Aposed-
the consequence Of which has always beer
most signal defeat. But they now avoid
the light of day, and have only become
formidable and dangerous because their pol.
icy is not left free to be grappled BY truth
They seek to stab in the dark, and by an
affected ignorance of any design, they sue
coed in disarming opposition, and thus i'm.
perceptibly lead men into trap, where
they boast of their trlumphs as would the
highway robber over the victim Of his
cunning and murderous intention.
The objects Of this organization are at
wal with the spirit of our institutions, as
deduced from the Constitution of our coun-
try. 1t is but resuscitation of the ty-
ranieal spirit chat was breathed in the
days of the Elder Adams, which is con-
demned by every principle of human
right and governmental policy. What is
it TO us whether man has been born in
America or not SO that he is loyal to our
Constitution and Laws? What is it to us,
whether man be Catholic or Protestant,
so he observes the Democratic purity of
our institutions and acknowledges his al
legiance 10 our form of Government? If
he believes in the efficacy of the Catholic
system Of religion, and that if will be a
means Of his future happiness, that is
matter between him and his God, and con-
ssqaen,ls should not disqualiiy him from
IN the civil privileges, and

owa, Many of the great patriots who
iorsook home ard country to enter the
struggle in behalf Of American indepea-
denee and shed theis blood in the attain
ment of the very freedom of which zoe now
SO much boast, were not only foreigners,
but catholics. Shall we prove ourselves so
unglatelnl as to disown their services, and
scoln their birth and religion?
As Southerners, we should shun this
wolf in sleeps clothing AS Democrats,
we should unmask the imposition and hold
up the Wing party in its natural deformity
to the gaze of an honest public. 1t is na-
tire Americanism, and has sprung from the
hot-bed Of isms, New York. Let South
erner Wings and Southern Democrats
watch it with jealous eye and crush it
ere il caps the essence of our free govern
ment.
