have pension from the fusion party to

TIE CRISIS!

Never, within our remembrance, have
we seen the Democracy Of the nation 50
thoroughly aroused, as at present. Men
who had served their generation. and re
tired from the busy hustle Of political life,
and gave place FOR their sons. have become
alarmed at the sectional and lanatical isms
81 the day, lest dis great conlederacy of
States should tumble 10 pieces. Many,
whose locks have been blcached by the
fros.s Of many winters, seem to be more
Interested in handing down our glorious
Union to future generations, than those
who have come on the political stage long
since they did. \ large proportion Of those
ancient worthless arc thoroughly walked up
10 the great importance Of lending their
influence towards supporting National men
and National measures. Whenever man
makes up his mind to support National
man for President, he is ut 10 loss who TO
vote for, when the contest is narrowed
down between Buchanan and Fremont
Mr.. Buchanan has been in public life over
forty years, and has always discharged the
duties Of the Offices he has held, either by
appointment or election, with credit TO him
self and the satisfaction Of his consti;u-
enis;a and She. fact Of his traducers not being
able to find spot or blcmish on his polit-
zeal character CIR the last forty years, we
regard as conclusive evidence that he is
emphntically the mali for the times
Some Of the small f-y abolition papers,
contrary to the orders and advice Of Mr.
Greeley, have inIustnously circulated the
report that he was a Fede, alist when boy,
and that he advocated the Re ductIon OF wa
yes of laboring men to ter cents per day
These stale charges have long since been
answered, and We're there anything else
that they could find, in his political history
that would injurc his election, Mr.. Gree
ley's advice would have been taken. We
support Mr.. Buchanan, conscientiously
believing chat we arc using our feeble eff
forts to prolong our existence as ? united
government. The present is a fearful cri-
sis in our history; never have the dIsunion
party been bold enough to put in nomina-
ton sectional man for the Presidency, un-
I'll now.

they were nearly the first in
America TO establish religious :oleration by
law, which they did in Maryland in 1649, }
while at this very period the purlians were
prosecuting their Protestant brethren in
Massachusetts, and the Epscopalians were
retorting the same severity on the Puritans
of Virginia. There was forming in Ma
ryland. sanctuary where all might wor-
ship, and none might Cypress; and where
even Protestants sought refuge from Prot
estant intolerance.
But how was it three years later, when
Cromwell came into power, thus giving the
Protestants the ascendancy? They pro-
ceeded to dislranchise those who differed
from them in matters of religion. Catho-
lies we've Excluded frors he assembl y which
was then called; and an act Of the ASSN :
bly, declared that Catholics should not be
entitled to the protection of the laws of
Maryland, thus leaving the wife, or the
helpless daughter of the Catholic, a prey
to the abuse Of the ravisher or the outlaw.
What Catholic can vote for man that
would thus disfranchise them? What for
eigner can vote for man whose love for
the black is so intense, that while they de-
grade and disfranchise a white man, be-
cause he was born, like the gallant Lafay-
cite, in a foreign land, they at the same
time elevate the negro to level with our
fellow -countrymen, both socially and po-
Italy Where can the Catholic, the for
eign born, or the true American, be found
who will now vote for the midnight poll

but who are now obliged TO swallow the
same pill if they vote for 5. c. (see resolu-

out, ere long, that Know Nolhingism will
send both Colfax and Fremont up salt riv-

Congressional.

Our republican friends about town are
(apParcntly,) very confident that Mr. Col
TAX will be elected by larger majority
than he received in 1854, and seem anx-
ious to back up their opinions, could they
get the opportunity.
We have always been opposed to guess
ing or betting on elections, believing that
it has bad influence: and many times peo-
pie lose money that they cannot very vel
spare; but as some ofour republican friends
are into that kind of business, we will
merely mention that friend at our elbow
authorizes us to make the following propo-
si,ion:
lie will wager $50 that Mr.. CoLrAx's
majority will not be as large as it was in
1854.

Mean. Low and Disgraceful Conduct

Hon John c. Breckenridge. Democratic
candidate for the Vice Presidency. passed
through our city on the ears. on tuesday
evenin last, on his way to the Tippeca-
noe Battle Ground meeting. The Cincin-
natl train on which he arrived here being
behind time, he had TO pass rapidly to the
Central train: but the ears remained long
enough to Ut him see an exhibition of the
black guardism and low breeding OF some Of
the black Republicans. NJ B. by reques'.
appeared on the platform on The lind car.
as many expressed wish to see him. and
three hearty cheers We're given for Buhanan
and Breckinridge These were followed
by croans from Black Republicans. and
some sickly cheers for Fremont. Every
one can make his own comment IN such
low and contemplate ccndue'.-R'chmo"f

For the Democrat.

For the Democrat.
Mr.. EDlToR:-In looking over the col
umns Of tie Plymouth Banner, of July
31st, | there sec tie question asked:
"(Yh hat man, that voted for Schuyler
Collax in 1854, can refuse to vote for him
now?"
In short, will give few reasons why
they cannot.
The dark and damnning deeds Of Know
Nothingism, have become fully developed;
the "modern Jacobins' have been obliged
to show their hand, and il is noH well
known that Schuyler Colfax was Il Know
Nothing, as can be seen by referring 10 the
records Of the Supreme Order Of the
Sons Of 70 at South Bend his asser-
tons, both III public and private, to the
contrary, Notwithstanding. | am well
aware this was not the cognomen by which
they were known among themselves, but it
is the name 5y which inoy were known
abroad. And the man who will resort to
such lor, hruchiing suJfe,1uge, in order
to be elected is unfit to make laws for en-
ightoned freemen.
Many. like myself, voted for Schuyler
Colfax in 1854, who would then, and now
rather see their right hand wither, than see
it put a ballot in the ballot-box, with the
name Of a KnowNothing upon it.
Who. | ask, that has been born in sunny
France-in musical ltaly-chivalro Ger
many--brave old Scotia, or republican
Hungary, can vote for Schuyler Colf,x:
Who, that has an adorcd parent, respected
brother, or beloved son left behind, will SC
far forget their memory as to vote foi
Schuyler Coltax?
That man who says to them, taxation
without Representative" is good enough fol
you, until YOU are old enough to die. That
man who would reduce every man, (whe
was not lucky enough to have his parents
living in these United States when he was
born, to the level with the Russian serf
or the Spartan lIelat. That man, who
though at times great sticklcr for the do
ings Of &c and 1900, but who nov de
nounces the policy which actuated Adam.
and others in 1900, when the Government
Of England offered to make it penal Of
fence for any of her Naval officers to I'M
press our seamen provided we discontin
ed our practice Of noturoiizing her citizens
Though England had seven thousand
Americans in her service, the offer was
spurned with the contempt it deserved; and
war was declared rather than submit &c
such an infamous proposition.
Who that has flown from religious per
secution, and sought an asylum In this
land where religious liberation is guaran-
tecd by the Constitution, can vote for the
man who says no Catholic should ever
hold Office in this land Of boosted liberty,
Marshall County Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1855-1859, 1856-09-25

ic party will have the consolation of know
ing that they have stood by the Constitu-
ton of that government on all occasions,
preserving and defending it; and they can
calmly wrap themselves in the flag of their
country, and go down in the same grave
with it, where together, in the same sacred
vault will be entombed the history of tie
American Constitution and lis gIo!ies, and
the history Of It's defender, the Democratic
party.
But we repeat, we have no such fears.
The Democratic party has fought tie ba.
tie of Salamis. and ii has fought The bat lie
of Marathon 1t is now lighting the las
great, decisive battle; ii is now heroically
and proudly standing in the gaze of Tier
mopyl2. We cannot doubi its success il
November. Our eyes would close in des-
pair, and our hearts would cease To beat
with hope, if we could for moment doubt
it.
In this great conflict, where stands the
Know Nothtng party? 1t Is for US or
aoains; US? Truth must answer that i'll
fac, it is arrayeG against us. The Black
Republicans are united in solid pna..an
against us; declaring war to the knife; the
South, represented by the Democratic par
ty, are meeting the issue. The issue is
made up between these two parties. Where
are the Southern Know Nothings? Try
ING to divide the South, AID thus make an
easy prey to our enemies.

We call the attention Of the reader TO an
article in to-day's paper, over the signature
of Anti-know Nothing. The writer has
given clear and. truthful detail of the ten
dencies Of Know Nothing and sectionalism
and has shown clearly, that Mr.. Colflx has
placed himself in very awkward and en-

writer was Wing, but when he discover
