and not one Of you shall vote at all il there
is not time for ali of US to vOte?'' But the
same party whose organ holds this language
are willing ifnot anxious, to bestow this
privilege on negroes Of which they would
deprive you.
But permit US to continue an extract or
two further from the same:
american citizens, one word in your
ears. Let every eye be steady, every
nerve well strung, every heart resolute, and
every man at the post OF duty"
Americans, are you ready? We think
we hear you shout 'readyP Well, fire! and
may heaven have mercy on the foe."
"The same men who enjoyed Sans hol-

selves to win Sans victory" .-r
"If there is any one who has the temerity
to charge that the members of the Ameri-
can party skulk and hide themselves from
The sight of men, let him take view Of the
different voting places to day, and see if
their is any skulking there. See if they do
not show countenances as bright, heads up,
voices full Of cheer and hearts open and
brimful of their cause. See If they do not
show devotion open aud patriotic, and a
determination which proves they are proud
of their positions as members OF the great
American party. See if they sku!k from
avowing their membership or shouting in
triumph at its success"
"Such cause should inspire every heart
and nerve every arm. American educa-
ton for the American people, common
schools for our use, resistance to foreign in.
huence, resistance to Popish eneroachmsnts,
resistance to abolitionism and 10 nullifca-
ton, and the government of American
States and Territories by American native
born citizens are the main principles of our
platform. With those principles to sustain
and strengthen US, let us whip the foreign
ers as Washington did at Yorktown"
"Soldiers of American liberty and Union!
on to the contest The 9th of August, 1855.
will be forever memorable in your lives
for veal or for woe. Victory will prove to
you crown of glory-defeat crown of
thorns. 1t is moral bate you fight this
day for the American Constitution and the
American people. Besure you give the en-
my Waterloo defeat"
Americans, remember that the contest
to day is between American principles, aim
ing at the preservation and perpetuation of
our Union and our liberties on the one side,
and fusion of Foreignism, and Romanism
! and Aboitionism on the other"
"Rally to crush faction Of Foreigners, ,po-
litical Papists, and anti-American native
Gemagogues, who falsely charge that we
are hostile to religious freedom, while we at
the very time, declare its sacred principles
in our platform, but are actually engaged
in conflict with its most formidable and
deadly foe, Until the light of Protestant.
ism shown in the world there was no relgl-
GUS liberty. Popery with its iron heel tread
out the life of religious liberty as fast as it
was born. The Romish corporation, under the
pretense of being the bride of Christ. has
ever been The prostitute of Satan. Millions
have suffered martyrdom because they wo'd
not surrender their consciences into the keep

drunk on the blood of the saints, and has
the audacity to charge with tyranny the ma

"Though we send out our paper to day
we have almost the heart to hope that our

should not devote the precious moments to
reading when the cause Of their country de.

This is enough from one incendisry sheet
in all concience, to send the blood shiver-

though not all, nor half 'of the same sort,'
it was enough to convert American citizens
into demons, regardless of everything but
their own fell purpose of carnage and ruin.
And now the unfeeling and heartles insti- :
gator Of all the riot, and arson and murder,
cody asks in the next paper, "Who is re-
sponsible for the riot? This is question
which must be answered. There is terri

must bear it." And then adds;
"One thing at least is now known. The
foreigners in this city, more especially the

instigation, were armed TO the teeth, and
used their arms from houses, behind barri

shot down, lemorseessly, unoffending citi-
