Scope and Contents

He claims that Lincoln's war is being supported by the Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, and Episcopalian churches because they believe it to be a war on Popery and Negro slavery. The abolitionists say that by freeing four millions of Negroes and amalgamating with them the enfranchised Negroes will outvote the Irish who are generally democrats. Thus the Abolitionists will be able to keep in power for war. The four million Negroes must either become their equals and amalgamate with them or remain in slavery. This war was gotten up by the bankers who are fond of burning convents to keep in power and to destroy the Catholic religion in the United States. The only reason why Hugh Davis, the Know-nothing from Baltimore Maryland, insists upon the Monroe Doctrine in the case of France is that Napoleon may help extend the Catholic religion on the continent of North America. A short while ago Davis was opposed to the Dutch and Irish because they were considered by him Abolitionists. Now he has Negroes on his property because he finds that by arming them and making them voters they will put down the Irish Catholics and keep his Know-nothing party in power for ever in this country. E.B.B. calls McMaster's attention to the convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church at Pittsburgh. Here a Rev. Banker is attempting to abolitionize the Episcopal Church and make it a banker institution. It's time for the people of the United States to open their eyes and act at once else they will be saddled with a banker government, president, army, navy, church, debt, bank, tariff, cabinet, Senate, House of Representatives, and national school. Nothing will be read but the banker school book and the anti-slavery Bible. When this shall be accomplished they shall have freedom for the Negro and slavery for the white man. :: I-1-m A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
