THE JURY BOX AND THE POLLS.

juncture. To-day We again wish to call
attention TO the same matter. We
are impelled 10 this, because the true
heaven of the Radical party has been SO
distinctly but imprudently betrayed by
their organ-the Review. That journal
published the vile SANDER that no Demo-
cratic jury would do its duty. and dis
tinctly intimated that the qualifications
of jurors should b. decided from a party
point of view. Carrying political cousid-
erations into Courts of Justice may suit
Radicals, but it will only disgust Demo-
Gratis. We therefore ask them to carry
this conflict TO its. proper arena, the
polls. When about to deposit his vote,
let every Democrat remember that he
has been insuited and DETAINED by the
Radicals who declare that he cannot
honestly discharge the duties of a jury
man. Also let every naturalized citizen
remember that the Radicals are the le-
gitimate offspring of the Know Nothing
movement, that wilson their candidate
for Vice President was distinguished
| member of that order. All their habits,
actions and papers, when not on their
guard betray them. OF this, the arti-
cles in the Review that we alluie to. are
sufficient proof. In its insane efforts to
gain fanciei Vantage, the mask was
dropped, and the malignant fend of
OF prescription for opinions sake was
distinctly seen beneath. We tell
every naturalized citizen to remember
these things and also ask every
Roman Catholic whether they can sup
port party who in effect proscribes aud
hates them. Is proof needed, turn to
Harper Weekly, the Radical campaign
paper edited by Curtis, Grants bosom
friend, and illustrated 10y Mast. Turn
to its pages and you will See that the
latter selzes every opportunity to draw
insulting caricatures of the Pope and the
dignitaries of the Catholic Church. One
would think that the position, the age
and virtues of the venerable Pontif
would have protected him against such
insults, and the members of the church
spared the pain of seeing them. But
no. Rad:calism has neither heart or
conscience, and If it sees an antagonist,
it at once begins to prosecute. OPP
pose Radical and you Immediately see
the bigot and the tyrant. To their in
tolerant and norrow-minded spirit to
differ with them is a positive crime. that
should be punished. The true spirit of
liberty, civil and religious, to them is
sealed book. They know nothing about
it While you think and act with them
it is all well enough, but directly you
| presume to oppose them or their party
then the old spirit bursts out and you
see the harsh, sour-minded fanatic. in
whose bosom charity or generosity never
found an abiding place. He measures
all mankind by the two foot rule of his
own narrow mind, and all that opposes
him, or that he does not understand, he
Immediately condemns and persecutes.
This is shown by their hatred of foreign
ers, of Catholics, of the Southern people.
For policy's sake their feelings towards
the two first classes is concealed under a
himsy vail of liberality, but when irli
tatedthey are forthwith shown in all their
native deformity. But for all that, hat
red and intolerance of the natura,ized
citizen and the Catholics are the real
substratum of the Radicals. For these
reasons We ask every Democrat, as a
member of that party whose proudest
boast it was, that it administered equal
and exact justice to all. whether it is not
his duty to refrain from assisting the
election of any member of the party of
prescription and hate. We also ask
every naturalized citizen and every
Catholic whether they can vote for any
member of a party which proscribes,
persecutes and insults them and their
faith. Let the line be drawn, not in the
Courts or the Jury box, but at the polls.
There let it be broad, marked and des-
tinct. Let no Democrat under any con-
sideration vote for any Radical. They
are joined to their idols, let them alone.
That is the proper manner to requite
the insults levelled at the Democracy,
and one that the Radicals will feel in
their inmost souls, if they have any. for
how dearly do they love the sweets of
Office. On Tuesday next, let no Demo-
crat soil his fingers with adical
ticket ..-.
