M'arthur Democrat. (McArthur, Vinton County, Ohio) 1853-1865, 1856-06-05

and our Black Republican governor asks for
five regiments of armed men to seud to Kan
sas tofght against the federal government.
A Black Republican representative from this
county introduced bill 10 withhold from
white men the rights Of citizenship for twen
ty-one years; and supported bill tonullify
the laws and Constitution of the United
States and elevate niggsrs TO equality with
white Americans. while Know Nothing
editors Ia our midst have no word Of con-
demnati on fer these shameful proceedings,
and the Know Nothing party no resolutions
denouncing the treason against our country,
and repelling the inalltf0 its dignity Of
Amefican citizenship. But further
.Deprecating the evils Of demagoguefy Id
this country the Know Nothings called upon
the people TO aid in crushing II out and in
placing the government in the guardianship
OF the honest, the true and the PATRIOTIC
hurled their thunders against caucuses, and
the bargain and sale proceedings Of conven-.
tions-pledged themselves by all the solemn
and terrible sactioDs Of oaths before Heayan
and earth to perform all they promised: and
then with their oaths yet warm upon thei;
lips-betore the recording angels ink was
dry, went deliberately into caucus, with
the very faction they had sdDoTI TO oppose
and by bargain and sale consummated the
most Ia ieral political fraud that ever dis.
honofed party.
need not say that allude to the .nomi-
nation Of Chase and the pro-niggsry ticket
nominated with him. Delegates from Know
Nothlngs Councils went into that convention
instructed and pledged to control it, aud
put in nomination ticket whchthe Know
Nothing party, on their own issues, could
easily deeat But cnce there, they ignored
instructions, pledges. and oaths, and by the
most infamous trafick nominated a ticket
wholly Black Republican-black in princi-
pie and in practice, black in taste and in
fancy, black all over political complexion as
an unstared midnight in Africa, or q gang
OF outcasts from political hell.
And to cap this climax Of villainly, the
Black-Republican-Know Nothing Legisla-
lure, which owed its election TO that dirty
transaction, returned the traitor Wade to the
Senate Of the United States Senate. If aught
had been wanted to fill the measure Of that
parIy's shame that was sufficient--mo:e
than sufficient, But that is not ell. Be-
fore the echoes Of their thunders against
demagogues had died out, they had fill
ed our legislature with the vilest PAN
dering demogosues in the State, crowded
Congress with apostate parsons, priests, but
not Catholic priests-and elected or at least
tried to elect niggCrs to State Offices in N.
Y. to the great delight Of Horace Greeley, the
champion of ffee-niggery amalgamation, ,wo-
mans rights spiritual rappings, free thinking
free soil, and all isms and humbugs of this
or any other age, excepting free-loyeisn-
which he n'tapprove, very probably for the
whole reason that he is little too old TO DO
justice to the subject. Even. in their
opposition to foreigners and Catholics they
were evidently insincere, for though they
have the power in Congress, the natufaliza-
tion laws are yet unchanged, and their last
National convention admitted a Roman
Catholic delegation to seats. But that was
right. The present position of the Catholics
,, is a Triumphant vindication of patriotism
At this time, when treason is arming for
paricidal and fraternal warfare, there are
neither Catholics or foreigners in the rebe
= ranks. There are. no Catholic priests in Con
gress counseling civil war. and clamorinl
for nigger equality or disunion: CathOli
:. priests are not officers Of 'Emigrant Aid Scci
eties,' nor have Catholics yet contributed
;, men, money powder, or Sharp's rifles to Kan
- sas rebels. No, that was and is, the woTl
= of Americans, to their shame be it said, AMI
OF Protestant priests. Political thunde

bold, undisguised and disgusting treason 0
, his sanctimonious neighbor Henry War,

press at large, and by the ranks and file o.
those same patriotic Black Republican,
Know Nothings. The Devil take such patriot;
and patriotism;the only kind that devils anC
niggers can approve or Yankee invent.
