OR, TRUE AMERICANS’ MANUAL. Al
ELOQUENT EXTRACTS.
Frou “A WarnIna TO AMERICA AND-AMERI-
cans,” by Miss ANNA ELLA CaArno.t, of
Maryland. Published in the N. Y. Cru-
sader.
Our fair countrywoman has wielded her
powerful pen, to some purpose, in the Ame-
rican cause, and has excited the rage of
the Washington Star and Baltimore Reé-
publican, which is the best evidence of her
effective and telling efforts to break the
spell of political Romanism which is now
thrown around the government at Wash-
ington,
Ex-President Fillmore, now travelling in
Europe, writes as follows to Miss Carroll:
“Panis, August 10, 1855.
“My Dear Miss Carrot :—I have read,
with great interest, the chapter of your
‘Warning to America and Americans,’
which has just come to hand here. It is
well written, and, I doubt not, you will make
a most interesting and useful work of that
which now engages you. May Weaven bless
and prosper you and the good cause, is the
sincere wish of your true friend,
“MILLARD FILLMORE.”
We have placed appropriate headings to
the few brief extracts for which we can find
room.
Tre Nature or ovr Fors.—We contend
against a foe of feverish passions, active,
fervent, political, full of intrigue nnd cun-
ning, not only able to create revolt, but
powerful to organize and direct insurrec-
tion, It is the Romish Hierarchy, the Jesuit
Priesthood, the political Church in America.
Our people fall short in suspecting the real-
ity, the dmmensity of this danger. The
woes and experiences of the past cannot be
lost, if our free institutions are to be saved,
Is America to become the Sodom, and Go-
morrah for this machinery? The Babel of
Priests and Prelates? Is she to be mar-
tyred for innocence and truth, for the per-
formance of Goi’s work? Our fathers saw
(but knew not) their entiance—may the
sons see the exit. When america decides,
she will reach the goal.
Her men are her national guard, her
troops her power, to hoist her flag when
and where the nation 2eills it!
Snatt We Sacririce Gop to Panty IN-
TERESTS?—Though we have lost the ¢it-
nesses of that great age, when America
started into life, we have. the fuith which
hovers between death and the grave, Shall
the question, then, be avoided ?—shall men
treat it cautiously, that they may not com-
promise their interests? What interests?
Is ita minor matter to conduct politicians
to preferinent by the courtesy of Romish
emissarics, and leave Jesus Christ the living
God dishonored !—Ieave home and family,
and domestic hearths, and all the sacred ine
fluences which make men happy, to give
party chances |
Ti Mrn or tre Pasr Revo.vTi0n.—Tho
Declaration of Independence was the work
of American men! They said they were
and of right ought to be free! It was Issued
on the authority of all the people, tn thelr
collective character, and, de facto, every
enfranchised citizen of America was a signe
er of that jinmortal charter of American
liberties. America was not saved by pen
and paper, but by the diving faith of her
living people, which worked through fire,
and undaunted and steadfast they fathomed
the rapid and invincible tide which was
rising to overflow her. Each man seemed a
legion; he held the ramparts, defied: the
musketry, and subdued England’s great ar-
tillery. These men held Bibles, not tapers,
in their hands; they knelt not on church
steps, nor did penance, but with prostrate
hearts they implored the living God.
They were men of one faith—one oath;
not men who held the ballot-box for Ame-
rica, and the oath of fidelity to the Pope of
Rome.
Yo give peace and liberty, American men
struck tyrants, and juried back their
thrones, and she cannot harbor enemies
within her borders now! Her heroes were
invincible then—she has heroes still
Tot MeN oF THE Present REVOLUTION.
It is the men of America who can raise her
flag above all mountain summits, and rally
Truth and Freedom around the globe! As
a standard of humanity, they are invincible
to tyrants |
For seventy-nine years, this Romish Ifie-
rarchy has been speaking a language and
adopting an instruction hostile to American
liberty and American nationality. The peo-
ple thought they were laboring for souls,
suspected no wrong, until the crape and
the cypress were visible all over the coun-
try! The disciples have been worthy of
their master, and they are pumping the
very sap which springs instinctively {into
the American‘heart! They take away her
books, take away her pulpits !
Oh, men of America, make them depart
from our temples; they give no light! to
the people, their lamps have gone out!
America wants not a dead but a living
religion
Come, sons of America—American frees
ment put torches in dark places, and de-
mand dight, until it mingles with the visions
of America,
SnaLL wr Trust tiem ?—This Intolerant
system. which has lived for ages to deny
justice, liberty, and God—to implant herself
