oncs shows theinjustioe done this portion
of our citlzsns They ere yilli6ed and
abused By this party, and then. because
tie majority vote against them, and 2 few,
believing Ii 70 b . Wing trick. vote for
them, and the rest stay at home, they are
to be treated as traitors, and their rights
and liberties taken away from them! We
honestly uiink that tho real danger 70 our
institutions lie some where else; aud The
elements Of rs overthrow can be found IN
this self.syIed American party: They,
and not The foreign population, are making
Ill the trouble they complain Of Wher'
ever the flag Of our country has been un-
furled. the foreign citizen and the native
have been found rallying around it. and
their bones are found bleaching. side
by side, upon every battlefield. from
Bunker Hill to the City Of Mexico.
g>E Again, the Tniginian after complaining
loudly because the foreign-born citizens
generally vote the Democratic ticket, says;
The Democrats do not stop to examine
whether these foreigners are not really
using them, and that IN voting for the
Democrats, they are obeying tho orders
Of their great Revolutionary leader, Louis
Kossrrn, or their still more powerful
master. the Pope OF Rome" We have
shown that the foreign citizen and the
Catholic, in voting against the Know
Nothings, are voting according to the in
stinct Of human nature [, iSa principle
10 the breast Of every human
being, until it is eradicatcd By along Sc
rieS Of oppression, To- war against those
who are striving to rob them Of their lib.
critics And it is thu, same Know No
Ching party who ape the preten$ions
Of the Pope Of >Romc, aud are making a
,errible to do because his followers vote
against them! Did not The members of
tie Gland Know n othing Council. as it
is called, who recently assembled at Phil
adelphia, resolve themselves into Ma,
tional Synod, and ekpel a portion Of their
members because they were not of the
Orthodox faith, as tkev,.in their worldly
wisdom, chose to in terpret it? Did the
Pope Of Rome ever claim any greater pow
er than this a? The Pope and Bishops have
at least this advantage over the High
Priests Of the Know Nothing Council
they believe in the Bible. and however
much they may err they claim to teach its
doctrines; but this selfstyled body of Pc.
liticaI.priests have no such claim, nor do
they pretend to set up any Such,, They
are reckless and ambitious men who are
tryia 2 to use the pure and holy teachings
Of the Savior for world Iy aygrandizemcnt.
They are composed Of every shade, and
hue Of opinions upon every subject, po-
litical as we'll as religious. j..

in one hotch .potch together, and with The
bible in their hands, they are usurping the
places Of Gods chosen ministers, and are
violating the lnws>of God and their coun-

for opinion sake. We do not wonder at
the foreign citizen voting against such a
party. He would beunworthy of the lib
erty he enjoys in this hitherto free and
happy country il he<awere To do otherwise.
We think it is the Know Nothing party,
aided by hireling renegade foreign editors,
such as Bennett, TAYLOR, SCHUYLER,
Row., and others, and not the Democrats
and foreign born citizens who are revolu-
tionizing the country. and obeyipg the or
ders of"KossrrH and the Pope of Rome. "
The Pope has sagacity enough to see
that this fanatical move will only have the
tendency % build up his church, and he
will, therefore,. not try to put it down, but
is making capital out of it. II
