PIERCE DEMOCRACY AND BOMAH CATHO-
LICISM
Have our readers never noticed a strik-
ing similarity between Roman Catholic-
ism and the chief point of modern Democ-
raoy, aa expounded by the supporters
of the present Administration? This
resemblance, we might say this indenti-
ty of principle, oonsists in the claim
which each seta np to u:ntalubtlity."
This, as is universally conceded, is the
corner stone of the Bomish Church.
Question this, and its power and influ-
ence rapidly decline. Its "infallibility"
is the secret of its power over the faith.
and therefore over the mind*, of men.
Of all Christian countries, those acknowl-
edging andjpraeticing a blind submission,
to-this peculiar dogma of the^ Roman
Catholic Chureh, are the most ignorant
and degraded. Ireland, Austria, Spain,
Portugal; and Italy, is contrasted with
England, Prussia, Germany, and half
Proteafent France, illustrate the truth
of tbe assertion.
Ignorance is always superstitious—
always credulous; and it is in the Cath-
olie countries above named, whose masses
are proverbially ignorant, that this dog-
ma of "infallibility" is received with the
moat abjeet credulity. Ignorant minds
never question such things. It is only
the educated thinking man who (tares
rebel against such hoary absurdities.
"The Church is infallible;" and what
uneducated, priestridden Roman Catho-
lie dares question it 1 A Calvin or a
Luther, wnese mind has been lifted up
out of the mire of this superstititious
degradation, may venture to do so, even
at the expense of all the horrors of
"excommunication?" But the ignorant,
trémbling, submissive masses of these
Roman Catolie countries, dare not thus
ventero their present prosperity, and, as
they believe, their future happiness.
He who questions this dogma of the
Boman Catholic Church, is at once
piraouno^d no longer worthy of its bless-
ings or mercies\ and the fierce anath-
emas of its great high priest are hurled
at its head. He is excommunicated,
outlawed; and the arms and the curses
of the Churoh are arrayed against him.
This is just the case with the modern
fiieree Democracy. The ''chief priests
ai^^lders" of t^at political church exer-
cMbwards its members the same cen-
sorship that the Boman Catholic Church
exeroises towards her flock. Each claims
"infallibility." As a poor ignorant Bo-
man Catholic does not venture his sal-
vation by questioning this dogma of his
religious ohurch, so a Democrat dares
not question the orthodoxy of Mr. Pierce.
If he does, he at ouoe pronounced un-
worthy the name of uDemocrat." His
motives are impugned, and he is prompt-
ly excommunicated, as a "heretic" deser-
ving the political damnation of all good
"St.
; this comes upon him for tentar*
ing to think for himself, or'for question-
ing the "infallibility" of Pope Pierce.
Look at Diakinson, Bronson, Donelson,
Clemens, Borland, and F. P. Stanton.
Were they not good, honest Democrats ?
Was their Democracy ever questioned
upon the leading issues hitherto distin-
guishing their party from the Whig|par-
ty ? Are they not now, as they hare
always been, "Democrats," upon the
questions of banks, protective tariff, in-
ternal improvement, &c.1 the coun-
try Is told by the leading organs of then
Administration, that they are not "sound
Demócrata"—that, in truth, they are
corrupt men, who left Piercés party for
rierais good] What is the offense ? It
Is lile (hat of the Boman Catholic who
sees corruption in his churoh, and denoun-
ces it. It is, that they question this
"infallibility" of Mr. Pierce and his
Administration. They think he can do
wrong—that he has done wrong—and
that, as freemen, they should speak of it.
For thitr, and for this only, are they and
others of that party, like them, ostracis-
ed, abused, vflliffed, and wilfully slander-
ed. The Administration has boldly said,
in this matter, that to question the wis-
dom and purity of its acts is political sin
worthy of political death, and the par-
tizan presses throughout the land say
"amen." Has not the politioal history
of tbe last two years read thus?
The present Administration and its
partisan organs, elaim for it not only
"infallibility;" but that is the only
source and fountain of liberty. This is
like the absnrb elaim which the Boman
Catholic Chureh sets up as "the founder
of English constitutional liberty"—the
author of "Magna Charta," &o. Some
individual members or this Church, in
open defiance of the thunders of the
Chureh itself, did proolaim the constitu-
tional liberty of England, at the oouncil
of Bunnymead. But the Church itself
was against them, and for that bold
step, the Church denounced them. For
daring to differ from it;—for question-
'ing its "infallibility,"the Church excom-
municated them. To say, then, that
the Roman Catholic Church, gave to
England her Magna Charta, is but to
utter a libel upon history. As a Church
she was deadly hostile to the act of the
Catholic barons. The Pope, its acknowl-
edged, "infallible" head, and the "viceger-
ent of Christ," cursed all who engaged
in this movement for English freedom.
So it is with the present Pierce Democ-
racy. They deneunoe all democrats,
who like the English barons, dare ques-
tion the "infallibility" as Pope Pierce ;
—and when the liberties of this country
—her glorious republican institutions—
are rescued from tne distractions to which
the church of Rome and the ehurch of
Sag-Nicht Democracy would consign
them, it must be by the aid of such
men as Dickinson, Donelson, Bronson
Clemens and others, who, like the bold
barons of Bhgland, dare throw off party
allegiance and think for themselves !
Another California Otttraoe.—A
mean outrage has been perpetrated in
California, and all regard to the recent
failure of Senator Foot to secure aa elec-
tion. One of the editors inhumanly
say :-
" What the difference between a nom-
ination for U. S. Senator and an elec-
tion % Give it an ) A foote—if no sev
eral fret."
TSE AMERICAS PLATFORM.
Philadelphia, Feb, 21.—The Nation-
al American Council passed this even-
ing the platform of principles published
on the 15th inst., in the Washington
Organ, as a substitute for the whole
platform established by the Juno Con-
vention. The vote stood yeas 108, nays
77. Various members from Ohio, made
speeches on the subjeot, some declaring
that the platform was a death blow to
Americanism in Ohio, while others ex*
pressed themselves content, and defend-
ed Mr. Ford, of Ohio, from the charge
of Black Republicanism made, by Mr.
Bennett, of New York.
The platform alluded to is as follows .*
1. An humble acknowledgement to
the Supreme Being who rules the uni-
verse for His protecting care, vouch-
safed to our fathers in their successful
revolutionary struggle, and hitherto
manifested to us, their descendants, in
the preservation of the liberties, the in-
dependence, and the union of these
States.
2 Tbe perpetuation of the Federal
Union as the palladium of our civil and
religious liberties, and the only sure
bulwark of American independence.
3. Americans must rule America ; and
to this end native born citisens should
be selected for all State, federal and mu-
nicipal offices or government employ-
ment, in preference to naturalized citi-
zens, nevertheless,
4. Persons born of American parents
residing temporarily abroad, should be
entitled to all the rights of native born
citizens; but
5. No person should be selected for
political station, (whether of native or
foreign birth.) who recognizes any alle-
giance or obligation of any description
to any foreign prince, potentate or pow-
er, or who refuses to recognise the Fede-
ral and State constitutions (each within
its sphere) as paramount to all other
laws, as rules of political action.
9, The unqualified recognition and
maintainance of the reserved rights of
the several States, and the cultivation
of harmony and fraternal good will be-
tween the citizens of the several States,
and to this end, non-interference by
Congress with questions appertaining
solely io the individual States, and non-
intervention by each State with the af-
fairs of any other State.
7. The recognition* of the right of the
native-born and naturalized citizens of
the United States, permanently residing
in any Territory thereof, to framo their
constitutions and -laws, and to regulate
their domestic and social affairs in their
own mode, subject only to the provi-
visions of the Federal Constitution, with
tbe right of admission into the Union
whenever they have the requisite popu-
lation for one Bepresentative in Con-
gress, Provided always, that none but
those who are citizens of the United
States, under the constitutions and laws
thereof, and who have a fixed residence
in any such Territory, ought to partici-
pate in the formation of the constitution,
or in the enactment of laws for said Ter
ritory or State.
8. An enforcement of the principle
that no State or Territory can admit
others than native born citizens to the
right of suffrage, or of holding political
office, unless such persons shall have
been naturalized according to the laws
of the United States.
9. A change in the laws of naturaliza-
on, making a continued residence of
twenty one years, of all not heretofore
provided for, an indispensable requisite
for citizenship hereafter, and excluding
all paupers, and persons convicted of
crime, from landing upon our shores ;
but no interference with the vested
rights of foreigners.
10. Opposition to any union between
Church and State; no interference with
religious faith or worship, and no test
oaths for office, except those indicated
in the 5th section of this platform.
11. Free and thorough investigation
into any and alleged abuses of public
functionaries, and a strict economy in
public expenditures.*
12. The maintenance and enforcement
of all laws until said laws shall be re -
jealed, orshall be declared null and void
>y competent judicial authority.
12. Opposition to the reckless and
unwise policy of the present administra-
tion in tbe general management of our
national affairs, and more especially as
shown in removing " Americans," (by
designation) and conservatives is prin
ciple, from office, and placing foreigners
and ultraists in their places; as shown
in a truckling subserviency to the strong-
er, and an insolent and cowardly brava-
do towards the weaker powers; as shown
in re-opening sectional agitation, by the
repeal of the Missouri Compromise; as
shown in granting to unnaturalized for-
eigners the right to suffrage in Kansas
and Nebraska; as shown in its vacilla-
ting course on the Kansas and Nebraska
Question; as shown in tbe removal of
udge Bronson from tbe Collectorship
of New York upon false and untenable
grounds; as shown in the corruptions
which pervade some of the departments
of the government; as shown in disgrac
ing meritorious naval officers through
prejudice or capriee; and as shown in
the blundering mismanagement of our
foreign relations.
14 Therefore, to remedy existing
evils, and prevent the .disastrous conse-
quences otherw'se resulting therefrom,
we would build up the " American par-
ty" upon the principles herein before
stated, eschewing all sectional questions,
and untiring those purely national, and
admitting into said party all American
citizens, (referred to in the third, fourth
and fifth sections,) who openly avow the
principles and opinions heretofore ex-
pressed, and who will subscribe their
names to this platform. Provided,
nevertheless, that a majority of those
members present at any meeting of a
local council where an applicant applies
for membership in the American party
may, for any reason by them deemed
sufficient, deny admission to such ap-
plicant.
15. A free and open discussion of all
politioal principles embraced in onr plat-
form:
Bespectfully submitted.

Mr. Reagles, the editor of the Horticultural Review,

our country boasts of. He possesses the glowing de

We had thought that in Downing's death, the elo-

cherished rememberance, but in Mr. Reagles we dis-
cover an equally rich mind of mental wealth, that be-
