Morality In Politics

who will, submit to.this destiny: we shall not be found among them.— American Organ.

Titos, tlic Roman, once said that no man ought to go away sorrowful from an Emperor; meaning, doubtless, that such should be the Tjencrosity, of his nature, such his liberal and enlightened policy, and such the lofty and cqdal justice of his laws, os. well as bis individual conduct; that all should feel the gracioosness and benignity of his administration. .Governments, to be most effective, should seek not only human elevation, politically speaking, bat human happiness, moral os well as physical; and any government devoid of such r tendency, should be immediately and fearlessly disavowed. : Such a disavowal the selfish and designing frequently term treason, and we are as liable to be branded as traitors for refusing to submit to the corrupt and debasing tendencies of a government, as for seeking to overthrow what is obviously right. . . He is, in troth, a traitor to God and humanity, who can barter his conscience and all the diviner constituents of his nature for political aggrandizement or party ascendency. Yet wo daily find' the pernicious doctrines taught, that we -must yield oar consdemions convictions of right and wrong to the demands of a:numerical majority, however unwise.and unlawful those demands may be, and however-de-moralizing theirtcndencies; that troth and honesty do not necessarily enter into the formation of political character, and that to consult' conscience, ia mattent. pertaining to political strategy; is as strand impolitic as to invite the orbcnlar sonl of a wandering gipsy to attest the truth of Heaven.. Policy-r-phrly policy—in its insatiate exactions, requires that we should bens wi.o as serpents, and as subtle and heartless as so many Shylocks.

Two painters were employed to fresco the walls of a ‘ magnificent cathedral; both stood on a rude scaffold, constructed for the purpose, some forty feet from the floor. One of them was so intent upon his work that be became absorbed in admiration, and si odd off from (be picture, gazing at it with intense delight. Forgetting where he was, ho moved backwards slowly, surveying critically the work of his pencil, until ho neared the very edgq of the -plank upou which ha stood. ■ . '

Its reasons for making any allusion to the party at this time, is because we have nominated a county ticket and organized for the campaign, ami because we hare committed such outrages upon naturalized citizens at Xcw Orleans.

At this critical.moraent his companion turned suddenly, and almost frozen with horror, beheld his iniincnt peril; another instant~and the enthusiast .would bo pre-cipitated-upon the pavement beneath; if he *pokc to- him it would bo certain death —if he licld.his peace it would be equally sure. ‘ Suddenly ho regained his presence of-mind and seizing a wet brush, ho flung it against the wall, splattering the beautiful, picture with unsightly blotches of coloring. . The painter flew forward, and turned upon his friend with fierce imprecations, but startled at ft is ghastly face, he listened to the recital of. his danger, looking shudderingly over the dread space below', ami with tears of gratitude blessed the hand that saved him.

'Spare me—yon see I have. no sword Quarter.

*1 would spare llico if I dared, but .the Ghosts of Paoli nerve my arm. Hark, do you not hear them shriek—wo had Ofr swords at Paoli: Ays, remember Paoli.’ And as the beams of the rising moon streaming through yonder narrow window for a.moment to light up the brow of the avenger, dusky : with battle smoke, red with blood, deformed with passion; behold; That sword describes a fiery, circle in the air, it hisses down, sinks into the victim's skull. Kd. r

. There is no reason for a religions paper to enter into the politicAf. afenV because wo have nominated,a ticket and it has toon clearly proven that the not in New Orleans was commenced by the Sicilians, arid that .the frauds acknowledged nndcr oath. in that city, exhibit a spectacle without a parallel in the world. ■ AVo tan, therefore, only conclude, according to tUo.atatcmcnt of the Leader, that there is a Catholic political party in this country, and that the Church, contrary to the spirit of pur institutions,'enters into the canvass ns a political party for political ond religious purposes combined.' ‘ : • ’

Questions for Old Liners to Answer

The Leader furnishes two reasons for the existence of- Americanism at the South, namely; the desire to'Constitute some other party besides the Democratic party, upon a national basis, aiid lho existence of a genuine, nativist feeling-ami Catholic prejudice. In refercnca: to-the firet reason, it gives ns the credit of being the result of an expedient adopted by politicians and office-seekers to regain the a«r cendnney which they had lost in the disruption of the Whig parly. Such liberality was to bo expected a’t the hands of the Leader, whatever the actual.’ truth might .be. The whole history of the American, party,'aa developed in the candidates which it has nominated, shows, that it is notVparty of politicians or office seekers; that it is, in fact, a parly of American freemen, who love their coun - try, cherish its institutions, and nominate candidates foy office whom- they believe lo'be be5tt!mlaptcd*to' fill" tlioh'e' stations' with satisfaction to .the community and credit.to the country. : TIw 1 foreign question, as the Leader terms it, threatening ns it did and still docs, the peipetuity-of American institutions, the sanctity .of the, ballot-box, and in fact, the possession of all true liberty, is in the eyes of .all Americans the most important issne which has yet arisen, in the history of the country.; .Foreign influence has indeed broken down the Whig party and elevated, to office men incompetent, to'perform their duties, unworthy of tho trust/to tlio Hcfcat of those great statesmen whose' names - and patriotism live ever, fresh in the memory, not only of our own people, hut also throughout the world.- ' - ' v ; - :

1. Are_ Native Americans capable of self-government? 2. Do they require the aid of foreigners . in tho administration of pablic affairs? ■ 3. Are foreigners, after a slay of five years in this conntry, when born and cd-. ncalcd iVgovcrnmcnts opposcd to republican principles, properly qualifier! to examine rightfully the elective franchise? 4. Is it just, expedient or proper, that foreigners, ignorant of the principles and forms of our government, should exert a controlling influence in onr elections? .5. For whom and what purpose did our fathers achieve the independence of this country? \Vas it'to bo controlled by foreign influence?

It is said that every mortal walks between two angels here. Otic records the ill but blots it, if before ti e midnight drear ‘ Man repeated]; if uncancellcd then, he seals it for the skies* And the right hand angel weepeth, bowing tow with veiled eyes. • I wilt be her right hand angel, scaling up the good for heaven, " Striving, that the midnight watches find no misdeeds unforgotten; Vou'11 not forget me, dailing, when I'mslCep' lug ncatb the sod; . Love the babe upon my bosom, as 1 love (bee, ■ *nejl to OoiL ’ ■

It is also claimed that we must yield bur better judgment to the contrivances of policy, and the •schemes’ of those known lo.be fclfishand corrupt, because they arc in the majority and have been successful in their, career; thatit’is a duty which we owe to the party/of which we,’ in common with-such .selfish - zealots, may ..be members; and that for us to. repudiate such dogmas* in a dangerous anti absolute herinviting at bnco. upon oar devoted heads the niahhliclions and anathemas of the party, blast;.;we then sacrifice, opr manhood; our consciousness of right and wrong, and our' independence of thought and : action, in order , to retain a position in the parly? Must wo’surrender to the prevalence of the abases passions'all that enobles and dignifieshumanity? Bather, would we say, let tliat party go if it ex* acta sWh Such '-a' drifting sfiohor or-letcr, dash, upon the rocks already covered with the wrecks- of many a once righteous cause; . Union, under stfch circumstances, is a vain chimera —a more phnutom—for you enn no more hold together the heaving mass than yon can "chain the Hellespont vexed"with storms.”' ■ .

There is indeed a genuine nations! feeling at the South : and throughout the whole country., "We arc glad to.pcrccive that the Leader is aware of its existence, for they will find it far stronger than they as yet believe. When the' test question comes to be decided whether Americans or foreigners shall rule America there will bo a mighty uprising of the people, and expression of public sentiment, which will settle all doubts pud hesitation, and prove that Americana regard their birthright as far more than accidental, that they are. wfcaty of foreign-domination and determined to blast the hopes.of the Papacy forever.-— St. Louis American.

‘REMEMBER PAOLI! !*

New Aul'sement for Jurtjiek,—At a trial in Charlestown, Va., the jury in the case of Gotlipp Collimor, for 'forgery, were out for some five or six hours, and were unable to agree, and getting tired of being 1 confined to a small room in the court house, proposed to (he constable in attendance to let them out in the frofotl yard to play marbles, which ho did, but forbid them to speak to any person. The scene attracted quite a crowd of the town's people; the constable bad his hands full in keeping the crowd from encroaching too near the marblers. 'Die jury having sufficiently amused themselves, and night approaching, they concluded it best to return to their room and agree upon their verdict, which they did, and the man was acquitted.

Ho—bo! And so Paoli is to be remembered—and so the Voice of Blood has not shrieked in the ears of God in vain.

The Dorians once consol ted their oracle about the event of a certain contest'in winch they were engaged. Answer was made that they should be successful if they did not kill the king of the Athenians.— The empire of the American party, in like manner, must forbear to nut to death the only sovereigns of all permanent success —rectitude, purity, and honor. That party is as much bound to repudiale and discountenance political trickery and dishonssty in its ranks, as it is .to preserve from the iron grasp of the Papal power the right of conscience and the free exercise of the elective franchise. If there must be taken from us ourindividual honor, our self-respect, our independence of thought, and our recognition of conscientious promptings to duty, then take also our right to act as freemen.
