AT large meeting lately held in Birmingham,
England to celebrate the emancipation ofthe ne
gro apprentices, Daniel O'Connell took occasion
to crusade against the United States for her prac-
tice of slaveholding. Mr.. O'Connell is worship
ped by his countrymen here, who, though far from
the sound Of his voice, look upon him as the text
book in all political matters.
s''Tis distance lends enchantment to the vew.'
Mr.. O'Connell is rabid upon the subject OF abb
clifton, and il he could have his way, the Union
would be deluged in civil war, SO that the dark
statute of negro emancipation might frown tri-
umphant over the desolation! Holding such doc
trines, he urges all Irshmen to preach in this
country the cause of the negro, and urge him
to strike for his freedom whatever be the con-
sequence. Ignorant of the patriarchal bond be-
tween master and servant, they pour in upon
all sides vociferous for the instant liberation of
the negro. We agree entirely with our able cor
respondent, "a Democrat" from New Orleans,
in his view of this subject, and at present refrain
from further commentary.

Our Georgetown friend continues his aid to
our cause-witness the following sensible re-
marks:
'''The Boston Post says I'VE ask for nothing
but what is right, and will submit to nothing that
is wrong True, the Post asks for nothing but
what is right in accordance with the interest Of
his party, hence he asks, and insists that the re-
gistry law be not passed; and why! is it not right
that every man participating in our elections,
should first establish his claim to the right of
suffrage? and is it not avrong, and altogether i'm
polite to suppress the passage of law SO admi-
rably calculated to prevent fraud and imposition
from showing its head at our polls? We can
have no better guaranty against foreign interpola-
ton. Already have we been egregiously and
shamefully treated and our laws violated in this
respect; and much Of the Peoples money has
been expended in purchasing votes of unnaturai-
zed foreigners on canals and other public works,
and made to operate against an equal number Of
votes of American born freemen. We would that
the people of these States were more sensibly
alive on this subject. We say to the Post, in
reference to his adopted, but Legitimate senti-
menk above quoted, uice versa.

dered the helpless children and outraged the fe-
males of Hampton, in Virginia, the Irish troops
under Rawdon, then we will lift our strong arm
and drive them in disgust, not only from our Off
ces, but from our polluted soil. If their fathers
fought with our fathers, they never would have
returned home to Ireland; but if they fought
against them, they were obliged by many reasons
to return. lfthey returned, then these emigrants
are their children and consequently our heredta-
ry enemies, for our fathers destroyed whole bat
talions of their ancestors. The facts of the case
are these; they are the descendants of those ar
mics that fought against US in the Revolution, and
therefore we owe them no gratitude and no hos
pitality. We have not closed our argument upon
this interesting and important branch of our sub
iect.

Nothing but a strict sense of our obligations
TO the cause, would ever induce us to quote any
article from political paper Of either side, that
bears upon our peculiar interests; and whenever
we do so, it is with perfect freedom from all
political bias, though we might plead in extenua-
ton, that it would be not only natural, but right
that we should lean to that party which would adj
vocate our doctrine. But we profess solemn
Indifference in our editorial capacity to the strug-
gle that is now in progress, reserving the right IN
our individual character, to think and act as we
see proper. To show how the cause is felt in
New York, we have selected the following from
the last New York Star received at this office.
Whatever may be the politics of the Star, we
cannot but look upon it with admiration for Its
frequent articles against foreign influence, indirect
or positive.
Mr.. Editor: see with great pleasure that you
are taking a deep interest in having the Novem-
ber Election honestly sustained, and allowing
none but citizens to vote. You are doing great
good in keeping the subject alive. We can beat
the enemy easily if none but citizens are allowed
to vote. | wish now to ask you question Of
some Importance. Are the inspectors compelled
to receive the vote and the oath ofa person who
is evidently in state of ihtcxcation!

We have also received from Coleman, New

John Van Buren,, eldest son of the President,
continues to give the Wings great uneasness.-
We warrant that he will return with a keener re-
lsh for the simple style Of his country, after FEAST
ing over the one hundred courses Of the Turkish
ambassador. Suppose young Van Buren, was to
refuse all the civlities offered him by England's
nobility, wnuld rot his countrymen blush for his
want Of good manners, and yet they grumble if
he firts with young girl Of Queen, whose SUI
perior, by the way, we daily see on our own ave-
nue., in natural beauty;-indeed, could she boast
half the charms of our Native lassies, she
might throw away her jewelled crown, and stand
forth the rose of England's loveliness. We hope
Mr. John will not refuse her.

Are these foreign hordes fit to share our liber-
ties? This question is one Of fearful import and
involves principles and opinions that lie deep at
the foundation of our national permanency. We
do not hesitate to say that they are not fit, be-
cause they do not feel, as the natives of the
country, that strong inborn attachment that is so
essential to the greatness and prosperity of peo-
pie. They arrive in this country, without know
ing one word Of the history Of its rise and pro-
gress, and impressed with the idea that we girded
ourselves about with freedom, from the ensan-
guined baptism of a mobbish conspiracy. In
land of liberty, they think there are no laws, and
only learn their existence by feeling their pun
shment. There is not paper that we open but
ment of our statutes and the spirit of our consti-
tuition; and the demon that stalks through the
western and southern country derives its appella-
ton from foreigner. We mean Lynch Law.

A FATAL AI"TEMPT AT LYNCHING.
Vicksburg has been the scene of another dis
orderly and illegal proceeding, which resulted in
boodshed and death. The particulars are given
at full length in the Register of Saturday last;
but we have room merely for general notice of
the affair. ...
1t seems that some ten or fifteen persons, ar
dent lovers ofjusce and social order, armed them
selves with muskets, ropes, &C., and proceeded,
about l o'clock on Thursday night the 23d ult.,
to lnflict summary justice upon a family of four
Germans, named Flekensten, IA father and three
sons,) who lived in the upper part of the town,
and who, it was said, kept dlsorderly house.
They demanded admission. This being re-
fused, they broke open the outer door and enter
ed, J. A. Het, German, and an unusually rash
and adventurous young fop, leading the way
Before he entered he called to his comrades
'who will 60 in with RE if | lead the way?"
Several replied that they would The family
was in the upper story of the house. He COM
menced ascending the stairs, when, perhaps
dreading the resistance of some one he saw, or
more etlectually to clear the way, he discharged
one of his pistols and wounded one Of the sons of
Flekenstein severely in the neck and jaws. A
volley of four or five shots was almost instantly
returned. Helt fell dead, piece Of the skull be-
ing torn off and almost the whole of the brains
dashed out. His comrades seeing him fall, sud-
denly took to their heels and no more was seen
of them. Some other names have been commu-
nicated to us, but we refrain from giving them al
present, lest we should either injnre innocent in
dividuals or prejudice the administration of JUS
tice. 1t is thought that the wounds of F'leken.
stein will not seriously endanger his life. An in
quest was held over the body of Helt, and YER
dict rendered that he "came to his death by the
hands of one Of the three Flekensteins.'' Mea-
sures have been taken to bring the offenders to
justice at the next term of the criminal court.
