Plain Truth from an Eloquent Irishman. r. S. Crawford, editor of the Protestant American, published at Aberdeen Miss., is an Irishman by birth, an accomplished scholar, and a fearless and eloquent writer. He took ground a few days ago in favor of the American party, and having been violently denounced for this by the editor of the Florence (Ala.) Gazette he has made a

powerful and overwhelming response, from which the following is taken. Many foreign-born citizens might read |them with profit and edification:

You charge against us that we conduct a Know Nothing journal. Did it ever strike you, sir, as possible, that the principles we advocate in this paper, and which you fear will arouse the indignation of your readers, are the principles we held many years before KnoAv Nothings had an existence?—that we have not gone to them, but that they came to us!—that from the circumstances forced it upon their attentions so strongly that they cannot avoid it?— they must meet it

And

crush it or be

crushcd ':y it. But let us look at the charge. What is the crime? I, an Irish Protestant, and found acting with a party whose leading object is to abolish the temporal power of Popery, am therefore crusading against my own countrymen! Shade of common sense, what ails the man? Did you expect me, sir, to aid, either with my pen or voice, a system which has hunted my fathers to the dungeon and gibbett which gave them the rank, for argument which placed on their legs the iron boot, and drove in wedge after wedge till the marrow overran this Popish argument which, huddling women and children into a house, applied the torch, and caught them, as they ran madly out, on' the heads of their iron pikes. With what party, pray, should I be? Just where I am sit, with the American party, because it has raised its mighty arm and sworn by Him that liveth forever and ever that such scenes shall never be enacted on American soil.

And for this I am called slave, sycophant and ubjcct. And by whom? An American Protestant. A man whose ancestors perilled all for "freedom to worship God." How long will that freedom last, when Popery becomesnumerically supreme? Notan hour. How often would you in Florence visit the Methodist Chapel, if the Pope could prevent (and he is only waiting numerical strength9) Ah, sir, there would be no chapel there—the thunders of the Vatican would raze it "from turret to foundation stone" just as soon as it had subjects enough to carry out its behests.
