without leaders known TO fame who was this new
party-where il from-by whom ed--of whom
poseduo could tell II had appeared the ballot
box, and disappeared with the victory The result the
defeat Of the nyincble democracy Of Pennsylvania
all that known or could be Ascertained
result astounding drew the attention Of The
Try 10 the new order party, but IL was not then known
TO exist except in that State Since that time-tbough
twelve months have yet elapsedmany similar yico
es the northern democracy have taken place The
democratic party has at length been awakened from its
sleep the dangerio which il has been exposed has aroused
its energies find therefore, that instead Of the wing
party having been dsGdwhen soannounced ony
sbanded for the purpose Of reorganization We find that
for the purpose Of preventing this new movementhis
political stratgy-beooning known secra lodges
organized in dark and hidden places that upon inta
ton every member not 10 disclose the existence
OF the order tell that he himself member
the of any one else who They were sworn 10
for the candidates Of the party or at
all and under circumstances to vote for foreigner
Catholic These the principles Of the organization Of
the party.
That political party with such organization should
have spread all the country and should in the short
space OF twelve months have acquired such strength,
almost incredible with the evidence of the facts be
fore But still il is the How is this What
the cause Of results so astounding2
Is il possible that there the public mind hatred
Though LATENT against foreign population intense
10 have erased all of gratitude from the American
bosom for the services of those distinguished foreigners
who fought side by side with Washington and to array
so large body Of countrymen against them in so
short space? What have they done TO produce hatred
intense Have they refused fight for the honor Of
the country when called upon Have they been caught
plotting against the peace of the country Are they
raors2 None Of these things have been charged upon
them. What, then have they done7 answer, their Of
fence that they democrats If this new party be
the Old ,ehg party in dgds the democracy Of these for
egnes win explain the astonishing growth of the
ganization and lis hostility 10 themselves. How now
about the Catholics? Willthe danger 10 which the Prot
religion Of this country exposed from the power
Of the Pope the wonderful growth of the
party? Are Protestant population afraid to combat
Catholicism before the American people with and
with the truths Of the Bible Are they alarmed the
evidence of the power of the Pope exhibited in the fact
that he is pcpped upon his trembling throne with French
onets7 Do they distrus the fuflment of the pophe
eses in Geds word that the Beast shall ll Does this
explain why it is that the American people ave rushed
into this party2
All history teaches us that religious excitement
nected with political struggles produces phrensy in the
masses that in the of religion and liberty, the
most horrid atrocities have been committed
Are Protestant people prepared to take such risk
Are ministers ready lay aside spiritual seaon and
adopt the poeer Of the baobor of government to
the enemies of Chrsts Kingdom and thus to build up
spiritual kingdom, with temporal power which has
proved fatal religion wherever the alliance has
exsted2 DO they intend, by taking such position 10
become politicians
IF these questions answered in the negative they do
not explain the mysterious growth of the new party
What then is the explanation of this political phe
nomenon?
that this party is the old wing party In
stead of being dead, dsbadd for reorganization
The secrecy with which the made, secured by
tba thp md
with which it enyeoped enabled the work of reorgan
zaiion go rapidly The hatred of the naturalized
citizen was natural the wings because they dem
ocais and the leaders who conceived ADD atnred the
whole plans that if they could conceal their party pur
pores and schemes they could strengthen the party by APP
peaing sentiment of American nationality, while the
well-kown prejudice the public MUD agains, the Cath
ole religion gave them another blind with which 10
cea their real character and purpose and wond bring to
their aid powerful clerical Influence the Of Pro-
testants of all political parties.
That such is the history unveed Of this party, aud
of purposes and of The used TO accomplish its
ends seems my mind clear the light of the sun
and doubt If fraud complete In It's derices
corrupt and wicked in the adopted for lis
plishment and raugh with consequences porten-
ous the wellbeing and happiness Of mankind
attempted in the history of our race.
Certainly the whole movement has been successful
us any similar fraud hitherto practed upon the American
people
Such being the convictions entertain of this par
t and conhdng do in the intelligence and patriot
ism of the people confidently believe that the democratic
party win recover from its local defeats will heal its dis
sensions will rally upon its platform all sound
tive Union men, and in 1856 will and conquer this
newly baptized american party as it has often done
its antelope the old whg party.
Such being my opinion of the democratic party its past
history and patriotic mission ii would be strange
alter my support Of its principles but
il would be stranger still were to sympathige with party
whose the overthrow Of free governments
and the destruction Of cirH and religious liberty.
In my intercourse with my feow-men, il has been
my wish avoid the excitement incident political life
and IL is without reluctance that appear before
the public though in vindcation of my opinions
am that my opinions are of but small concern
the public but have right TO be msrepresented
and it those who respect my opinions not to per-
nit their Misrepresentation TO lead them into
am with great respect, your obedient servant
