| An Incipient Revolution il Disxuises undoT
Mask Of the Adminsstratxons
With all Difference TO the course ofthe organized
| association of Native Americans which you 10 ably
represent in behalf Of the people, without distnc-
ton Of party, must beg leave 10 say . few words
/ through the american Organ, upon the true ma
ture Of the crisis" that Is upon US.
i will preface my remarks with an emphatic dis
caimer of being actuated by any difference Of opin-
ion existing among account OF SECTIONAL feel
| ings or party denominations, upon any of the
topics, political or otherwise that have heretofore
been agitated by demagogues or ambitious party
leaders, too often seducing their personal or polti
| views at the ballotbox, when In fact the people
have but little interest, whole people, whether
those topics in dispute be decided or administered
one way or another.
The interests of the people at large are, In the
| aggregate, nearly as well subserved under either
party administration, Wing or Democratic. While
both are generally 30 bad that If il were not for
our enterprise, we might be bankrupt by either, In
their emulation TO humbug the people with mag
nifcent schemes of castle building, whether in the
air, on the ocean, in the far West, or out 10 the
| Ultima Thule of the straits near the South Pole,
rs well as the North. All such speculstions we
have endured, and can continue to sustain by our
enviabe location and enterprise in everything,
4
| way, under our well-earned privilege of 80 doing,
whether the right or the left division Of our dear
selves shall benefit or naaltreat the public interest
the most; since haze rePEdiated and cast of all
snch abuses practised on By the mother country,
though she did not do 1t half SO grievousy as we
do ourselves, enjoying the sceet privilege Of
doing 20, Of our DION free will and accord
| How many splendid follies do we see men launch
into, and abide their failure without a murmur,
when they would not give cent for tribute to the
1 exactions of the most powerful despot. Such Is
the genius Of American resignation to the will Of
the majority of any political party while in the
ascendant, whatever the cost, and however OBJ
tanned. Such is the genius of American resent
ment of ~ encvoachments from abroad, however
trivial the amount, or however disguised by false
/ pretences from any quarter, even under the adyo-
cacy of traitors among u.s.
| This latter is the crisis that is now upon us, 30
| different from the peaceful party contentious Of
the former. Would that il were, however, of the
trivial character Of the Kossuth demonstration.
That was ephemeral in its duration, and openly
made We tolerated It as harmless, and 1t went
off in ridiculea and contempt How different Is the
demonstration now making upon tho very vtals
Of our free institutions by an ayaIanche continued
torrent Of foreign panpers upon Va, under the pre-
| tence of increasing our population and reclaiming
| our vacant lands
! But the American people, having at length taken
alarm at the insidious object so long progressing
without the timely rebuke it deserved, are rapidly
coming to the rescue of their institutions, and all
other interests most dear, while all party politics
are held in allegiance by the intensity of indigna-
ton it has engcndered The political contests be-
tween Wings and Democrats are suspended, the
sectional strfes in assaing and defending the Pc
culiar institution Of the South are forgotten--pa-
ralyzed ALL in the contemplation of the awful revo
luton with which we are threatenedl revolu-
ton that will involve in its vortex If accomplished,
not only our political institutions, but the freedom
Of our religious devotions, and along with them
the entire moral tone of our social intercourse at
our fresdes, in our courts and legislative assem-
bles, and in the very privacies Of domestic life
Yes, Mr.. Editor, this uprising Of the people"
10 not party movement in the political sense in
which party politics are understood 1t is grand
| and solemn movement of the American people, in
accordance with their genius of resentment Of all
cncroachments from abroad assaling the stability
of their institutions and their rights of selfgoy-
eminent And for the whole people TO give 1t the
decisive rebuke it deserves, 1t Is only necessary
that they should clearly understand the insidious
issue that is made under DISCUSSES intended to de-
cievs them and take them by surprissphen IL shall
BE- too late to BE- undeceiuedii
say, sir, the crisis we are in is an incipient re-
voution, which will involve in all the horrors Of
spanish, Jesutical, Inquisition in America, worse
run mad by the triumph Of the Pope over this
airest portion Of the globe-the last dear object Of
his ambition, through the mcrcenaries and convicts
Of his European dominions Of prest-ridden dupes,
sent here to accomplish his designs under cover of
a thousand DISCUSSES aided by our own snpiassess,
credulous Hospitality, and i'nprovidsnt iaps Of
natnyalisationl
Fortunately for the American people, this Incl
pient revolution has also found aid and comfort in
the easy prey, the treason of the. weak heads Of
the present administration. IF these deluded men
had tai pom n mn RI inst fha ,arf in
behalf Of the Pope, but had continued TO represent
the Democratic party, and held themselves even
neutral In this great American movement, as the
proper province of their reserved sovereignfy, to
arrest through the baot-box the progress Of these
foreign Jesuitcal designs on their free institutions,
then, indeed, the CRISIS would not have FASTENED
up rapidly to receive the fatal blow now prepar-
ing for It. But no-these deluded traitors to the
high trust reposed in them, to which they have
fidelity, have on the contrary, given to this
incipient revolution more decisive and unmista-
kabe character by stepping out of the line of their
delegated trust, In taking part with this foreign
demonstration upon or sacred rights Of selfgov-
ernment giving the insidious enemy aid and COM
fort In diverting the patronage Of our government
into the hands Of those who mainsrin their ALE
glance to the Pope, while they punish the most
worthy of American citizens of all parties, who
dare to manifest their holy horror at such proceed
ings, with 4 summary official decapitation TO re-
place them with Jesuit
VIII any sound American mind pronounce this
as anything short Of setting up the patronage of
the peoples government to the mercenary bidders
Cor Offices in the brief misplaced trust of their
vants-bidders under the disguise of the altar of
Popery, while they turn their backs on the viola
ted sanctity OF the free institntons bequeathed
by our patriotic fathers, which they have to
protect. 1t cannot be necessary here TO multiply
proofs Of these outragcs. The single instance Of
the wanton decapitation Of Josiah POLL Is suhi-
cient to elucidate the whole scheme, by which the
like deeds perpetrated in sacrificing the official
interests of the government TO minister to the will
Of the vicegerents Of the Pope
Mr.. Polk being steadast Democrat withal, while
the otium cum dignitafe Of backsliding Wing
remains undisturbed in the same Office by the grace
Of unworthy commitments to retain his Office Such
cases legion And what Is there TO prevent
these deluded men from DECLARING THEIR OFFICE
PERPETUAL, when they may, in their madness, deem
all circumstances ripe for iti We need not 60
abroad for the example. We have Il in miniature,
in the declarations Of their bold co-adjutor while
aspiring TO the gubernatoral chair Of Virginia who
dares on frequent occasions TO show his hand TO
