The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1860-03-02

article in which he ha~ grouped all the
base charges his paper has before contain
"a against Marshal LEWIS and ourself as
his Danntv he SAWS the assertion Of Mr..
CROWLEY as AN individual, or Of his infor-
mants or aids, that we have ever asked.
for lis removal, is simply false" I'VE
have never vet conversed with man who
admitted that he had anything to DO
with procuring lis appointment, nor have
we ever seen the man who gave it to him"
What, then, mean the repeated attacks lie
has made in tic Herald against Marshal
LEWIS and ourself? Were they written
and published by him for his own amuse-
ment, aud without any design on his part
that hey should be read by the persons
he has never conyersed with in relation to
our appointment, or by the man he has
never seen who gave it TO US? Does he
mean that ss his attacks have not had the
effect 10 Gust Us from Office, that his pa
per IS not extensively read, or if SO, that it
had no influence against US :: Or does he
mean TO have Us understand that he repre-.
sents two characters-ono outside and one
inside Of the Herald, and that the outside
man is q r!ele .rcaSS, not TO be held res
ponsible-not to be .oucheJ-for what the
inside man Ian iugalp;,,lo onhet,ocs that

Finally, and what is meaner and more
contemplate than all else, while he has
repeatedly attacked Us on account Of our
religion and nationality, lie has shown HIM
self to lie destitute of all religion, faith,
honor, truth, and fairness, by charging

editor Of the Pilot in this county, his colo
aim and purpose has been to creae
schisn and prejudice in tie Democratic
party on tie ground of uationaltv' We
have ever contendel tlat no man should
DC prescribed on account of his religion or
h-pace. and there is nothing in the
Democratic creed that requires or tolerates
any invdious distinctions between Cath
oIlc irlshman and Protestant American.-
DO not the voters Of Irish birth constitute
nearly a majority Of the democratic party
Of this county? Have they not always
been true to that party? Have they ever
crowded any Of tEeir number upon the
party for It's su1frages Cor the offices of
j profit and trust within its gift? How were
they treated the year before the advent Of
the Pilot into this county2 Though the
Democrats by straight party vote could
have poieI over one Thousand ms;oritv
yet JAMES i. CROWLEY, an Irishman, wa.
defeated as candidate fo1 the office of
Register Of Deeds. Why? Was it not
! because FIrcH AMI the Herald clique, who
then controlled the so-called Democratic
organ, created schism and prejudice in
the Democratic party on the ground Of
nationality? What service did FIrcu or
the Herald do for the Democratic ticket at
the last election lie went on the day Of
the election into one Of the southern towns
