The American. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1857-1857, 1857-11-14
THIN.sKINNED.

A writer who signs himselfW II. W. in the
Intelligencer, first sneers t Judge Robinson,
of Kentucky, one Of the ablest men in the
country, because he don't know him, and then
in an angry, selfimportant tone, talks OF his
Judge r } writing "such stuff" and OF
making random attacks upon certain por-
tons of their [hisl fellow citizens, because he
discusses in statesman-like manner, and with
statesman's ability, what he terms the anti
unionism, sectionalism, propagandism, and for
eignisrn Of the rising factions of the days *
Judge Robinson says: /" Most Of them flor.
eign immigrants trained to trust in the tradi
tional yicegerency and infalibility ofthe Roman
Pontiff, and in the authority oftheir priests Z
grant dispensation and indulgence, cannot b
truly American in conscience or mind.
\ - And large majority Of thei
priests arc foreigners exported to them by tn
Pope and his council. Their religion, there
fore, pure in faith as it may be, must inevitabl.
be too foreign and political for the principle
| of true American independence ,taa al VI.
| And this is what w. II. w. calls "stuff
| and "raadom attacks upon certain portions {
his fellow -citizens!" The barb which so rar
kles in the flesh of w. Ii. w. is pointed wit
truth, and therefore penetrates and stings.

ANOTHER BASE ISLANDER.

"No such extenuaing plea can be offered IN
paliation of those rotous acts and demonstrations
which have occurred in Washington since the ad-
vent of Know nottingham, and which seem to set
at successful defiance the small police force in
the employment Of our government. - Washing
ton Union. .s."
"Riotous acts and demonstrations which
have occurred in Washington since the advent
of Know Nottingham" Though the writer
Of the above does not 9irectly charge Know
Nothingism with "all the riotous acts and
demonstrations which have Of late occurred
here, yet he does this indirectly, by imptSca-
tion and in doing 50 is guilty Of deliberate
untruth. He knows, if he knows anything
about it, that no election ever passed off more
quietly than did the election of Mr.. Towers,
when the A1nericans carried the city; and
that none of the rowdyism and violence which
now disgrace the city and its authorities, ex-
listed here while Mr.. Towers was Mayor. If
there was any one peculiar characteristic of
Know Nothingism, it was its quiet, noiseess,
orderly movement, and that was what was so
much feared '.2 - .l'.',...

again paid back TO the same merchant who took

ANoTHER ILLUSTRATION. after the
close Of the Revolutionary war, Quaker
merchant, who bad removed from Philadelphia
to New York, returned 10 collect and paw
some debts due to and from him there; blu,
fearing he could not collect money enough to
pay his own Indebtedness, he took enough
with him. lie first endeayored to collect, bu,
found there was very little money in circua
ton. He then went to his creditors and paid
his own debts, in peculiar kind of silver
coin. In day OF two he concluded to maxi,
another effort to collect, and, to his surprise
now met with great success; and what was
more surprising, the greater portion of The

Custom House at Newport, r. l., by the Col
lector, which debate took place in the Senate,
April Is, 1885. Mr.. KINe, Of Alabama, said,
that Gin no case would he lend his sanction to
oppression Of any kind, or be willing to screen
the oppressor, let him hold office high or low.

found he was confident in saying, was made
by the Secretary, upon the representation of
tho collector either that the services of Mr..
Melville were not wanted, or that he was re
moved on some other than political grounds. I"
Colonel KING was ready, il will be seen, to
Indignantly condemn any officer "high on
low" who should, for political reasons, re-
move faithful and competent public servant.
Were he now living, and should express such
a Washingtonian sentiment, he would be voted
"ap old fogy by the Plumber Party.
