"Ihe Patriot and Shield" has hunted up am opi-
mon, expressed by the great Irish Orator, ia 1896.
against Gen. Jackson. He depicted him then as a
military despot, arbitrarily and illegally putting two
EnghshInen TO deatl-and he deprecated the idea
OF seeing "such n man sway the dcslinies of IL rising
and prosperous republic"
Now, let us look to the other side of the Medal
The "lrish Republican Shield" shews us what an
ample q"ende honord6te, d.. OConnell has rendered
to a. jackson. In March, 1880, at n public meet
ing IN the picturesque village of Clondalkin in the
county OF Dublin, he expressed himself in the fol-
lowing terms:
"Look to free and prosperous America-that asylum
where Tie exile, amidst the blessings of liberty. forgets his
home, and where our prosecuted countrymen find = sane
tuary that cannot be. violated by Behold the

says, that The public debt will be discharged in the course
oil the current year. Alas! when will we have such an
announcement in a Kings sp~eech?-Never, until ParIia-
ment is reformed. While alluding to America, [ feel

There is another contradiction for which we are
also indebted to the 3" Irish Republican Shield" IL
was but the other day that Duff Green published a
car1cature, with appropriate doggrel verses, abusing
the President for his want of " cheerful" in refusing
any but the most niggardly contribution to " the
Washington Relief Society" for the benefit of suffer-
ing lrishmen. Now, what says " Veritas" in the r.
Shield?
