8pp, caption title [as issued]. Disbound, mild toning. Good+. An insightful critique of the common political base shared by the Republican and Know-Nothing Parties, and their members' similar deplorable voting patterns. "The higher law doctrine of the Republicans" produced the political climate that permits Know-Nothings to disregard foreign-born citizens' and Catholics' "ancient privileges and rights of conscience as guarantied by the Constitution and laws of the United States." The author rebuts the disgusting charges levied by the Know-Nothings against Catholics, and claims the Republicans are, at heart, Know-Nothings as well. FIRST EDITION. Not in Sabin, Eberstadt, Decker, LCP, but well-represented in institutional holdings.
