Love of Foreigners and Papacy

Every Fusion sheet from Maine TO
Texas, from Massachusetts, to Oregon, is filed
with the awful charge that the Z" Old Liners {"
love foreigners and pSPists-it is surprising
how the Democracy can survive such an aw
full charge Il is related Of Mahomet that he
told his people there was part in every hog
which must not be eaten by any of the faith
fnI, hut leit them completely in the dark as
70 the locale Of the prohibited part. Some
imagine it Is the tip end Of the tail, some the
hoofs, &C.. until there are as many different
opinions about the part in question as there
are parts TO j hog, but the hog is all eaten up.
In some parts Of the country a protestant for
esgner is received into the losing embrace of
:ae Republican(2) party. in other parts a
native Cathode istaken. So taking the Union
as a whole the Repsblicans(O swallow the
whole hog.
II IS one of the wonders of the age that snch
party as the Republican % party can exist
in the nineteenth century and it is quite re-
fresling to hear gentlemen OF the capacity
and character of the late lamented WILLIAM
PooL5, Esq, and the valiant General JOSEPH
HISS, talking of the necessity of preserving
this country and the Protestant Church from
the iusidious wiles of the Scarlet Woman.
We see it stated in an exchange, that the nat
ural love of Massachusetts, for Republicanism
% is accounted for through the intelligence
OF her people and their natural hatred of Ca
tholicism- Republicanism Cd may then be
defined to be natural hatred OF Catholicism,
q desire Cor burning nunneries. and an intense
itching to inspect the wsrdrobes of defcnse-
less women. The party may emphatically
be termed the Clothes Line Party.
The r1ess Of the Clothes Line Party will
not discriminate between love of foreigners
and papacy, and an unwillingness to see them
prosecuted. Every one is willing to agree
upon the fact that this country is and ought
to be, the home Of the oppressed OF every ma
tion. Every one is of the opinion that no
religious test should be made. But when
the Oppressed" arrive, the Republican ~
party would constantly cast into their teeth
the fact that they were not to the "manor
bofn.''
A negro, according to Republican logic, is
As good as a white man but an intelligent
foreigner is not. Mr.. GARRISON, the Rev.
TaEo. PARKER, and gentlemen Of that ilk,
who almost deny the existence of God, are
good citizens but an humble. honest, piOus,
consistent christian. who happens to be Ro-
man Catholic, is not to be trusted.
Ifpeople believed that the leaders and ed
itors of the clothes-line party were sincere,
they might weep over the insanity and idiOcy
of 50 respectable aportion of the community;
but it is pretty well understood, that their
religion and philanthropy have aconsiderable
amount of CANNON in them:
The idea that this Republic is to be over
turned by respectable old gentleman in
Rome (who by the way is pictured in some
elothss-lins publications. az fierce looking chap
rushing with cross at very fast looking
Young man who is supposed to be America
looking daggers at the youth. whilst the youth
leaning against book, looks as boys do when
they put their thumbs to their noses saying
"No you don't l'')-who wears long dresses
AMI can hardly keep his seatin a very CON-
Portable chair, which he Is supposed to pos
sess-is ridiculous in the extreme-and the
idea that few thousands of Irish and Ger.
mans, who come here every year, are going
to pull down the Capitol and turn the whole
Union into Donnybrook fair or A Turner'S
Gymnasium is also ridiculous
Because the Democratic party does no
choose to rush into these extremes it is bran
ded as popery- loving foreigner-embraein;
party. By tho way, the clothes-liners ough
not to talk about Democrats loving Papists
when the clothes-lne Governor of Kentucky
has, if we mistake not, married t,co papists.
The elothes-ine are strikingly like tn
chameleon which changes Its hue TO suit il
location. And when in future years som'
autiquary shall write the history of the pre-
sent century, he viii mention as the two grea
humbugs Of the times, Bsrnum's baby show
