George Law still Alive"
Under the above head, the prince Of politi-
cal hucksters the man OF "black-mail" mem
DRY, who maligns and praises to order"-the
weathercock who has advocated and opposed
"by contract" every dogma and doctrine
which has been preached during the last
twenty years-the incarnate 6end, whose back
still wears the marks Of canes and cowhides,
applied in punishment Of his malicious Sian
ders-this grim-visaged, cross-eyed, foreign
born representative of n New York MONEY
KNo, assails the dmerieaa Organ, in his last
Sunday morning issue, In language suited to
the filthy source from which 1t emanated.
And what has stirred up the ire Of this
vindictive and splenetic excrescence Of hui
manity2 Why, the american Organ has
dared to express its opinions in opposition to
the elevation of the present master and owner
of this hybrid to the Presidency! If this be
reasonable cause for the outpourings Of wrath
from the Satanic" press upon us, We may
look for very many such--for as often as VIC
shall discover efforts to foist MoNEY-KNG
into the Presidency, we shall exercise the
right Of opposing them.
This is not tho first nor the second time
the"Satanic" has malignsd US. Its Philadelphia
correspondent, a few days ago, misrepresented
and attempted to ridcule proposition made
by Us in the National Council, in furtherance
of a concerted plan of malignant opposition to
all, who will not bow down and worship the
golden call, and shout, long lire tho hero Of the
Dry Dock Bank!
The malevoent mendacity Of the Satanic "
is only equalled by that miserable sordidncss
of motive, displayed in its warning to US in the
following sentence, copied from its article above
referred to:
ave should imagine that if our contemporary
expects to get the printing of the next Congress-
it win be necessary for it (hc Organ to exhibit
little more tact and discretion than it has shown
this occasion"
The plain English Of the above sentence is,
that if tho Organ soishes the public printing,
it should not put itself in opposition to the
MosEy-KlsG pho wields an influence Which
might defeat the expectations Of the Organ.
We despise the threat-its author, and his mo-
tives.
When we are prepared to initiate the course
of the Satanic" and sell our columns and
our conscience for the ill-gottcn gold of Money
Kings, or for the patronage Of those in power,
we may resort to "tact" and outrage public
sentiment. for pay We are not yet corrupt
enough to unite with the satanic" and Set
up tho Presidency at public auction to the
highest bidder; nor do we believe the Ameri-
can party would sanction such villany, were
we TO Join the Satanic" in this scheme.
Nor do we think the investments will be profit
able, il Money. Kings should purchase presses
in New York, Albany, Pittsburg, or New
Orleans, to manufacture public opinion for
adoption by the American party!!
We may err in Judgment but we opine that
Presidential aspirants who open their purses
Ia the employment Of scores Of newspaper
sribblers, and reckless political hirelings, will
find that the main body Of the pure-minded
American people, will resist and frown upon
such disgraceful schemes, with patriotic in
dignation. The people want for President,
man who has intellect, wisdom, experience,
and modest merit rather than bags of gold,
to recommend him to their confidence and
support This, at least, is our opinion Of the
views and wishes of the American party.
The Satanic supposes that we "picked
up little gossip" at Philadelphia, and that
we fancy VIC can extinguish by 1t the NOM
ination Of George Law" &c
We take occasion to say to the Satanic"
that we shall not deal in gossip" should we
hereafter see dt to unfold the chicanery and
corruptions practised in Philadelphia, during
the year 1855, by politicians Wcsay, further,
that not one tithe Of phdt occurred at Phil
adelphia in June, 1855, has get been told.
II may never be told-it may never become
necessary-thst win depend on circumstan-
ccs-but the Satanic" must not :" lay the
aattering JUNCTION to its SOUL" or II has any,)
that its clustering denunciations, and ill-di-
rcctcd abuse, will shut our mouth, or silence
our press, whenever in our judgment, our du-
" to the American party demands that we
shall speak or write.
We have but little more to say noD to the
Satanic" We shall say, however, now, that
i,s charge, that we pitched into George Law
in great style, denouncing him with terrific
vohemence," is a falsehood. We have done
Mr.. Law no injustice-he must blame his hired
advocates, and not us, for the consequences Of
presenting his name for a position for which
he has no qualifications or pretensions We
are opposed to Mr.. Law as a candidate for the
Presidency, as we have a right to be. And
even had no the requisite experience, wisdom,
and other qualities, TO ft him for that position,
we should suspect there was something wrong
in the man, from the mere fact, that ne is the
protsge Of press, that sometimes speaks the
truth, and sometimes advocates true American
doctrines, but which mover does either from
principle
"Timeo Dansos ct dona ferentes.n
We shall continue to express our opinions
freely, Of such mon as may be presented to the
consideration Of the American people for the
Presidency. We shall also continue to distrust
