Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1856-09-26


/ E1- There is in our county certain
"gitted" individual who, for the last two
years, has been performing the grand
intellectual feat of misunderstanding
the prosonority of comfrodunction. !"
Those who have witnessed this feat
against F." furriners" and the "Pope of
Rome" must have enjoyed a rare treat
What par horrible that tremendous
couple must be What perils do environ
our country from their nefarious spells !!
And what gratitude every patriot, every
christian among US, must feel to the great
Observation-Disclosures" who has thus
armed them with the sevenfold shield Of
caution against their pandemoniumical
efforts! For ourselves, we candidly CON
TESS that we had 10 idea we were in such
danger from their Vaccinations. We
knew that we were in bad way in many
other respects. We knew that our in
situations were in all probability to be
destroyed by the acquisition of Cuba, the
repeal of the Missouri Compromise, the
extension of slavery, the election of
BUCHANAN and BREoKINRIDGE, and by
several other pregnant causes of ruin big
with the fate of Yankee-Doodledo and
of liberty; but that his un-Holiness, i'm
Plus Menus, was also going to destroy
them, and is positively now at work to
bring about that dire consummation, was
q suspicion which, singularly enough, had
never entered our minds. We cannot
but wonder at our previous darkness
visible as it has thus been rendered by
the Illuminating beams of this brilliant
sun of nescience. This last peril caps
the climax, and how we are to escape the
most hideous ruin and combustion from
the mass of evils impending over our
heads is a something unguessable by our
philosophy, What's the use of living in
a country which is SO soon to be destroy
ed in such variety Of ways? But, Sc
riously, we have never heard or read
more prepostcrous, ignoblc harangucs
than those with which the "gonius"
aforesaid has insulted the understandings
of the intelligent people of this county.
Too much Know-nothingism hath made
the gentleman mad and his nescience is
evidently not of that blissful species, for
it seems to have put him in as pitiable a
plight as even that of distinguished
parsonage Of modern days, yclopt Rich
ard Swiyeller, when, under the influence
Of another kind Of madness, he stood in
the street in rather an undulating style,
and pathotically requested thepassors-by
to look at :" a miserable orphan" 4
rery miserable orphan, indeed, does the
genius" above referred to seem to be
in his delirium tremens Of bigotcd folly.
If he is really the exponent of American
ism, and there is any danger ofhis party
becoming dominant in the land, We might
well utter the pious and patriotic ejacu-
lation, Good save the Republic" for
much more detriment would be inflicted
upon it by such Influences as would then
be paramount, than by all the enormous
bugbears ever begotten by ignorance
upon narrow-mindedness.
Often has the sinister croC of night
cndeavored to frighton us with forebo-
dings Of calamity, but never in such
wretched croaking as forms the staple Of
this orator'srant, and weak, indeed, must
be the nerves Of those whom it disturbs.
The stories and denunciations which have
fallen from bis lips, will soon be handed
over to old women to frighten children
with.
