Our readers will remember that n
few weeks ago we announced that
measures were on foot to remove VIM.
Mixer Esq. from the Post Office at
MIxerille. and supply bis placs with
one Mr.. Williams. a foreigner. living
in that place. The deed is done. Last
week Mr.. Williams received the docu-
ments which constitute him Post Mas
ter at Mixerville.
In our op nion this event demands
more than q casual notice. There is
sprinciple involved. that is ofvital inn
portance to the people Of this country
Mr.. Mixer is confessedly an accom-
modating and faithful officer, as well
as an amiable and much respected citi-
sen. But he is a -Prcsby terrain. and
during the late election be choose TO
svow his sentiments as an American
citizen. and. seeing the arrogant de
mands Of foreigners. particularly Gath
ole foreigners. he choose to identify
himself with those Democrats that
intend, at all hazards. to resist their
sncroachments, rather than with those
who court their influence and yield to
their demand. For this exercise of
the right Of q native born American
citizen he was duly reported to our
Roman Catholic Post Muster General,
and promptly removed.
When it is known that the Office is
only worth about nine dollars per quar-
ter. this act.of Catholic tyrrany becomes
the more agrivating. and shows clear
~ what we are to expect when they
obtain the power Of the General and
State Governments as they professedly
expect to do. Yet is no new feature
Of Romanism. Such have been its
workings in every age. The head that
bows not to its mandates, must be cut
of. Political and religious liberation,
in Catholic Countries is not known
In most Of them, as in Cuba and else
where, even a decent burial is not
allowed the dead who die out Of her
communion.
We ask the people Of Indiana to
look at this act, not Of so much inn
portance itself, as il is when regarded
Is an index Of what may be epxectei
hereafter. If . government official
may prescribe an humble citizen in
this way. for his religious and polti-
cal sentiments-if native Of the Uni
ted States may be removed to make
room for foreigner, simply because
he is opposed to Romanism. will the
free people Of this county uphold the
men who uphold and approve such a
course?
Is there any remedy? We know Of
none. except by the remote means Of
the ballot box. To make this effect
ual. every lover Of American liberty
should at once resolve that he will mo-
10 support those who cater to this for
eign influence. We understand thai
the people Of Bath townshiphave gen
orally agreed on applying a more i'm
mediate remedy in this case. Having
failed, in their remonstrance before tn,
Roman Catholic Tyrant who holds fol
the time being tho reins of power. the,
have concluded to apply as much rem
edy as they can, to the man who con
sents to be the tool of such an OPP
pressor. Many have determined to
order their letters and papers sent (,
another Office.
They intend then to withdraw thei
patronage in business from Mr.. VIII
liams. Should they do this. as the,
most certainly will. he will be greatl
the loser in accepting the office under
such circumstances.
We object to prescription tor opin
ions sake, but in this case there up
pears TO be no other remedy. 1t wi
be severe, but perhaps a deserve
penalty for outraging the sentiment
Of so many Americans. We beliey
that very large majority of the vo
sers ofthat township sympa.hize wit
Mr.. Mixers views, and this act wi
largely increase their number, and .
they are men Of influence at home.
Mt with the appointing power, the
will make their withdrawal Of custol
felt.
