The true Democrat., 1856-07-15

upon Catholics that they deny the existence of of God, yet mark the abSurdity-all foreign CTS by him are set down as Catholics-and yet when he needs proof for another asserton--al foreign emlgrants are atheists of the deepest die A'-whose aid to the democracy is secured by the preclnslon from their platform of an acknowledge ment that there is God In the vehement assertion of this rottenness in democracv the General became rapturous in the impulsive ve- hemence of his political eloquence, and hurled with the bitterness of maledictiou. the burnino scathing denunciaton of deep national corrup- tion
 After all the jargon of incongruous senti- mcnt uttered in the bold assertions above, the General yet again asserts, that the foreign eni- grafton consists of ignored paupers, criminals, and lazerenes, whose state of hopeless igno- rance, pauperism and mental imbeclity would be sufficient plea to release them from all ob- llgatlons of accountability.
 We should like to hear from the General, whether or not, this sink of rottenness and abo- imitation existed in the democratic platform
  whether or not the recognition of the existence ot God was in the platform at that time; and furthermore, whether he knew the fatal defec- ton at that time. or had learned 1t since he an chored to the American platform Now if the General knew it, and did not then divulge it., he was fully guilty of the corruption which he charges; if on the contrary he knew it not, he evlnces too much ignorance of its principles, to claim credit for the boldness of his charges of corruption.
 l am cautious of admitting the declarations of any one of the corruptions of body, pub shed only after his assertion. What weight would Gen. Yell as a military man, give to the testimony of deserter who might bring char ges of corruption against the body he had de- serted?
 What then can be the judgment of intelli- gent men upon the address and the merits of the speaker? We had entertained the opinion that Gen. Yell was clear headed, consistent, philosophical reasoner Shall We change that opinion on account of the chaotic confusion marked in the address? or shall we attribute his want of perspcuty and consistency, to the nconsruous jargon of the American platform The reader may decide.
 However, be this as it may, do such unsup- ported declarations such wild conjecture, and unPoundcd garblngs of corruption-even na- tlonal treason, form terra frDaa, firm plat form for the refuge of true patriots?
 great reasoner, of ancient fame; when ad- dressing the turbulent populace, exhorted them, T they dii not believe in him, yet to accre- ait his mission on account of the works which he did Unfortunately for the General, how ever, the works themselves are the grounds of his condemnation and rejection.
 It might have been supposed that the Gene raj Lad thrown off the ebulitonary fervor of his political maleyolence upon the President and the democratic platform; yet the suppostioh is not real. An increased energy gave new i'm pulse to the voles of corruption hurled at Bob Johnson, Gov Conway and the family; the Real Estate Bank, the attorney general and the swamp land commissioners; while pathetic appeals were made to the peopl, to arise in ther majesty end overtum the unholy dynasty!
 Even the clergy present, were cashiered anj denounced as guilty of political treason, if they dared to oppose him in the great work of re- decming his country from ruin.
 The General became rapturous and awfully r sublime ia the closing scenes--thc horrors oI the bcast the foreboings of national comm0tiol and rational ruin, Were pealed in pathetic tones toarouse the soyercgns and if possible, to alarm his opponents.
 We have read somewhere in good standard Work that many false prophets shall arise cry ius io here. ani 10 there! but l say unto you go not after them.
 But in conclusion of my remarks; did we really dread tie results of foreign immigration and Catholic ascendency, we cannot, and do mol ! appreciate the remedies proposed These vas scenes of national commotion may bring ul ! fearful events in the vista of the future; ye our ship was chartered under the sails of re publicanism, and we have not yet witnessed the necessity of dropping our flag and elevatins the lion of oppression. RepublicaniSm, like the waters oi the ocean, is self-preservative, a least this is the anchor of our hope However, should the declarations of corrup tion even be correct, what sensible politician even partially acquainted with the frailtes o human nature, will surrender himself to tn. tides of bold and unsupported assertion, to bt turned and driven by the breath of every gale Should the assertions of corruption in the lisca affairs of the state be true: and should the Ge neral himself have all the ability, patriotic ho nesty, and love for his country which he very lavishly arrogated to himself, we are left with out evidence of the facts, and therefore, should be unwise, should we submit to the bolt assertions of interested politicians. The General closed by a compliment to tn, ladies-they must influence their husbands swcethearts etc, to go for Yell-they have tn, influence. Eve partook of the forbidden fruit and stratway Adam followed her. The legiti mate inference is, a woman led Adam to tn ruin of his race; so may you lead your husband to the ruin of your country.
 The General called upon all to raise at th polls mighty YeH This presume will b. like the horrors of the Creek and Cherokee . YeU against YeN AN OBSERVER.
