TERRE-HAUTE,

TDESDAY MORNING, SEPT, I, VI

Wny was ft# American Party Formed? AVe 'ptcitfihe 1t is not necessary to tell oar intelligent readers that it WAS the coarse of the Democratic party, in -conrting, by the lowest «rnd most contemptible tricks—which they bud demagogues eaoogb to execute—the fo*tign population of this country, that mainly led to the formation of the American party. They recollect, well 'enough, the time, when their plans of operalion were so systematized that they took the foreigner into their keeping so soon as he arrived in this country—whatever his condition, whether pauper or criminal—and put hint in training for the uses of their party:— at the samcf time, caring not a fig for him beyond his servile submissiveness to their plans. They poisoned his mind with the idea that the Whigs in this country represented the aristocratic party of Europe, while the Democrats were in favor of the universal rights of man, the brotherhood of nations, the consolidation of the people, and all that sort of party slang. Take up a Democratic paper or read a Democratic speech of the times we refer to, and see bow beautifully the sentences which expressed these ideas were rounded off: all the arts of eloquence and composition were brought into requisition to impress them upon the foreign mind. The evil was carried so far that in the great contests botween Clay and Polk, Taylor and Cass, and Scott and Pierce, it was sufficiently demonstrated that tho foreigners held the balance of power between the Whig and Democratic parties, in several of the large States, and that this gave them the power to control and decide a Presidential election.

Wo have said that the Democratic policy in reference to foreigners led, mainly, to the formation of the American party. This is true, but there •were also other party inflnencoa contributing to the same result confined, however, to particular localities, and, xnore •specially, within the great State of New York. These were directed by those same New York politicians, who now acknowledge that they, and the Democrats together, have so managed affairs, that the city of New York has beoorae a great mass of corruption— filled with crime, prostitution and infamy. They are the abolition loaders in that State, who, for the purpose of gelling the Catholic forsigners away from the Democrats and uniting them with their party in a crnsado against slavery—during the administration of Gov. Seward— played into the hands of tho Catholic Btshop Hughes, in favor of his policy of dividing the school fund of the State, so that the Catholics might have their own schools, and the Protestants theirs, for fear that Catholic children might bo taught out of Protestant Bibles, and thus learned that Protestantism was not heresy In this they went farther than the Democrats, which only had the tendency to cause the latter to out-bid them, by going still farther than they had gone.

And thus was brought about a condition of thinga at which the whole

country was startled. It was enough Ifrom their oaths qf ulteginnct to any power inconsistent with his own. And

to startle it. Every thinking mind saw, at once, the extent to which such a power as that wielded by tho foreign Catholic population in the hands of unscrupulous men and desperate party leaders might be carried. The Democratic party, in its better days, had pointed out the danger of this foreign influence—when, in Its contest with the Whigs about the old Bank of the United States, it had used, as a principal argument against the Bank, that foreigners held a part of its stock, which gave them an influence in this country. And the result was, that the great body of the old Whig party and those Democrats who saw the danger and honestly admitted it* soon

adopt or, at least, to defend thetr European prejadices and principles^We verily beliere that the foreigners, if they had been let alone, would have gone to woi3c tn gOod earnest, to ^fsdicate these prejudices and princieiples from their minds, with a wish to become Americanized. They, doubt lesl, in a majority of instances where they had any particular motive at all, left Europe with this motive-—attract-ed by the idea that institutions like ours—protestant though they knew them to be, where they knew anything about them—were best calculated to advance the happiness of society.— And they had not the slightest idea of keeping up, when they got here, any of thoee distinctive national peculiarities or organization which they brought with them. "They in tended to eradicate European notions and principles from their minds, and to become Americans as far as it was possible to do so, by imbibing, from American sources, the true principles of thegovernmerit: if they did not—if they came here intending to be Europeans still, then we say, upon the fullest deliberation, they are not Jit for American citizens. But the politicians to whom we have Inferred, would not permit them to cherish these good intentions, but Veset Aem with such party appliances, that they soon saw themselves not only complimented but courted.— And thus finding that their votes were important, they formed their own organizations, under their own foreign leaders, so as to make a parly of their own, that, thereby, they could trade with other parties, and secure as much advantage as possible to the%aselves. These organizations had all sorts of foreign names, and marched under all sorts of foreign badges—and while they claimed all the rights of American citizenship, were united in a common and vindictive opposition to Americanism. And lo this point— which, of themselves they never would have reached—they were coaxed and persuaded by the Democratic and abolition parties, in tho manner wo have named. So that, in our judgment, they are less to blamo than tho demagogues who have deceived them out of their votes, but who would as read4 ily betray them, to-morrow, if it were necessary to their ends.

While this process of coaxing foreigners was going on, and the practice of giving to Catholics apart of the public school fund, so that they might have Catholic soho»ls of their own, was obtaining foothold, mnch was said and written to arouse the public mind to a proper sense of the danger to our institutions. Amongst those whose writings were circulated for the purposo, none wrote more eloquently or ably than a distinguished man of the West—whose name is not material now-—who, in the very preface of his work, that he might not be mistaken, declared that hi9 purpose was "to spread before the people tme Popery, and to strip it of its Protestant garb, which it has for the time being assumed," because "Roman Catholicism is corrnpt in its doctrines, morals, institutions, and practice, as a whole."— And, with this avowal before him, he proceeded to prove, amongst many other things, that, all Romanists, to be consistent with the principles of their CJhtlrch, are obliged to hold that the Pope of Rome should have universal power, over all persons, and things, as well CIVIL as religious, involving the power of absolving his followers

when he had thns so proved to the sat isfaction of a great body of Protestant Christians, they gave his Work tbe official sanction of ihsir church, and sent it Ibrth, into the world with the impress of sanction upon it, that it might awake its thousands of members to the necessity of the great contest for Protestant Supremacy in this country that had then to be fought. And it had it* effect It did arouse that great church, and there were bat few of its members who did not array them* selves under the American standard. Will) these and other kindred iefluenees the American party became triumphant, and, for a season, the Demo-

found themselves acting together in era tic party stood, almost breathl„_ the Amrriam party—forgetting all with amasetnent, at Us threatened aaformer differences, in a wish to rid the LjUUiion. And then, as the oah country of the corrupting and destroy-jgTx)Uwj0f hope for the ftttnW, it gating influences which were the result of still closer in its this party tampering wither*****.

hf pro

They did not blstne the foreigners half their wildest and most vtcioO* no«o much as they did the oMcrajmfew of personal liberty, and running party leaders who coaxed and cajoled

inUt

them into th*ir ranks by falsehood which have set loose upon the and deception sad by professing to cosntrr tho very worst of human pas-

fe«sing and acting upon

oMegWatioa and

•tons. Thus th« wy dangers that gave rise to the American party exists now in a degree four-fold grlitar Chan they did when that part/ was first formed.'**

Bat where are the masses who then acknowledged this danger, fend pledged themselves Under solemn sanction, not to turn from the labor uutil ii was past? Where is the distinguished author from whom We have quoted? Where are the thousands of his church, Whose sentiments hemoulded? With them, we fear that Protestantism has become a matter of secondary moment, and that thousands of thetn with the distinguished author we have ftamed, and with fell the influence of a great church to help them so far as it can wield its power, are now following the political leadership of the very men who, to please Bishop Hughes in New York, gave him the school ¥und to set np Catholic Schools with, where he could teach Catholic children that Protestantism is heresy! and as such should be exterminated from the face of the earthl!

How have these/things been brought about? Are they not marvellous, past comprehension? What is there in this country worth' struggling for of half the value of its Protestantism. Therein lies all its freedom, its glory, its greatness, its beauty, its attractiveness,and everything that raises it above those Catholic nations of the Earth, where the human family are crushed beneath the iron heel of power, and bowed down beneath the weight of superstition. Shall this be given up,or even endangered to advance the miserable intrigues of politicians, whose patriotism is measured only by the value of the offices they can procure? These are questions of the greatest import, and we shall pursue the discussion of chem.

JST* We said the other day that we would not contest the palm with the Editor of the Express, in the field of blackguardism. That mode of warfare requires a particular kind of talent, which may be possessed by those who have little, as well as those who have much intellect. It is common in doggeries and low drinking saloons—where snch language as, "you area liar," "yon are a fool," and kindred expressions are the usual replies of swelling b^garts and brainless disputants. We will not say that the Editor of the Express belongs to this class--that would be to im itate him—but we will say he seems to have very low conceptions indeed, of what it takesto constitutes gentleman. Whatever of glory ho aspires to in the field of editoral life for which he has such particular fondness, he can enjoy without envy from ns.

How must his wondrous compassion have been wrought upon the other day, when he resolved to fold bis mighty body up in a robe of editoral dignity, and, out of pity for our "wnbecility," look doWti upon us with contempt I We wonder if onr read ers have not observed the deep despondency and gloom indicated in onr colnmns ever since What mortals could be expected to survive so terrible a shock? But we are revived now—thank fortnne! The terrible, crushing And destroying load of contemptuous silence has been removed, and we breathe free again! The Editor of the Express has put of his dig' nity, has come down to where common mortals live and move and have their being, and fans really Consented to notice once more what we—poor frail mortals as we are—have to say! Wl^ amazing condescension! When Bombattes furiosi came down from Aw stilts And humbled himself to the ordinary level of mankind, of course the world was flattered by the condescension! That's the way we feel— exactly.

He charges ns with dealing unjustly with the Republican party. We deny it And we say to that party-—not to Aim—that whenever convinced that we have done so, we will make all necessary, and proper, and jast attoneraent We will not do them injustice if we knoW it It possible that we may sometimes fall into error—as we bavi BO sort of claim to infallibility—but We will not kmomngly do so. Whenever we b&ve been deceived in relation to any statement made by as we will at once, and promptly, retract it, when covinced of onr error. But ifthat party itself supposes, or its orgem frutier of the Express, that we axe to be dragooned Into silence by such bombastic bluster, and swelling braggadocio, and pompo«s nonsense

ISSSIillpiS «Vv:

as the Express of yesterday contains, they had as well learn, once for all, that they will utterly ftil in tlieir expectations. We shall give them whatever credit we think they deserve, and shall assail them wherever they are "Open to assanlt, and shall do it both openly and manfully we shall "nothing extmuatfc, nor set down -aught in malice,1'

We have always understood that Parker Pillsbiiry acted with the Republican party. That is still our impression. We know nothing about it—nor does the editor of the Express. In the absence of actual information on that subject, we are willing that onr word shall stand by the side of his, with no fedr of injury to our veracity. As an earnest, however,—frhich we are willing to give to the Republican party—of our intention and wish to do them justice, we shall put ourselves to some trouble to ascertain whether or not we are hiistakeh. In the meantime, we can assure the Editor of the Express that we are quite willing for him to indulge his fancy in swelling out into editorial pomposity until hts proportions, in that way, shall Teach his personal ponderosity but it will all make no difference with us. We shall go on, and "pursue the even tenor of our way," altogether unmolested by the little obstructions with which he may seek to block np our path. If the American paity, as he is trying to flatter himself, is Hiilly dead, why does he make such a fuss about it? The American party dead, indeed! That's always the cry of those who betray a party and then desert it: they think it

dead! Well, we shall see how that is

JUST RECEIVED

AT TIU£

We have assorted that Parker ^Pillsbury is a "Republican abolitionist," and at this the Express flares up exactly like an old woman who has lost her knitting-needles. Does, it make him mad- to see the frdrds Republican' find "Abolitionist" iu such close proximity?, If it does it is well for him and the "Community, that this fit has come upon him the very last of the dogdays for if it had been a mont^t earlt^ er we should all have been in danger of hydrophobia. Why, does not the man know 'that Giddings is the great commander in chief of his party?— And does he not know that Hale, JuKan, Chase, Seward, Smith, Garrison, Phillips, Fred. Douglass, and all the abolition crew that follow them, are cheek by jowl with him in party assO- Traveling Dress OS & Dusters, ciation Does he not know that these men are Istrdng props in the Republican party, and that without them his party would go to pieces?— And does he not know that they hate the Union as bad as Parker Pillsbury or any body else although they may not speak out so bluntly? Does he not know that Giddings urged the negroes, the other day, to cut their masters' throats? Now let us assure this spunky blusterer that he has go* his hands full, in stooping from his dignity to defend his party from 'Our charge of being united with the abolitionists.
