THE ADAMSfTES vs.. THE IRISH.

| THE ADAMSiTES vs.. THE IRISH.
Because those who have emigratet
from Ireland to this country in pursuit
of that freedom and equality, with tte
love of which an Irishman is horn. but
which. unfortunately. they are deprived
OF at home, by the oppression of Eng
!and-because, the gallant sons OF Erin.
who love a generous heart and an open
hand, are for Jackson, there is no term
of reproach too bitter. 40 abuse too low
for the Adams PARTY to apply to them.
Now, here is an article from the Mi
croscope. New England .idams paper,
in which this portion of our community
is called the 8 IRISH RABELE and
The "RUM LOVING portion Of the
community" and the vile production Of
some filthy muse applied to them. Yess
this dirty dogg,e writer against the
l,ish in the time of the elder Adams is
now hunted up to be applied to them By
the supporters Of the younger Adams. -
Even the little Irish blood which several
american crosses have left in our own
veins boils up at the abuse and oblquy
which the Adams party heap upon US,
and we look upon that Il ishman who is
in favor Of john Quincy adams, as hav-
ing lost the spirit Of his fathers. and as
sort of spaniel, that Is ready to lick
the hand that has humbled and chastised
him. We are proud however. to knows
that there are but few such. Is there
any such - We wish we could say, that
there was not one. There are some few
however. and those we invite to read
this piece. which we copy from one Of
the .idams papers-let them look into
all the Adams papers and see how they
arc spoken of-!et them read this piece
and see themselves held up as $ out

dirty terms which the Adams genifmen,
the nobie families, the great aristocrdts
apply to this gallant, generous, vrtuous,

Those renegade gallnws trains,
Nhich Ireland from her dungeons drains,

Like Esypt's plaques. upon our land

Who lurk With fire brands round our doors-+
Who plunder records of the state,
The yiriunus bast-belie the great,
A foreign, or,cas,, needy brood,
