ST. PATRlCK'S DAY IN WASHINGTON.
Rerie,O Of The official account to be found in Hednesdays
IiteHigencer. .,
Let us set down and laugh togeherlangh at the bonn
bast-at the "thrice told tale" the hccupped oasthe
stale jestte naudlin hypocrisy OF the Irish and john
sons of the 18th of ofMarch How the w.t. how beal
fu the specialization, how modest the compliments TO
each oher-how fond the recollection Of that home which
recreany they have left to groan under oConnes rent
and Engiand's sneering tyranny.
At Carsis this vast assembase OF three hundred ana
small odd sat down to feast their souls with the delicious
raphsody Of the iusrous the hundred times lustrious
George Washington Park Gusts, Esq, of Arlington
House, on the opposite side of the Potomac River, and
relation to no we will not mention his great name,
and to heal doggere puerlity from the correspondentia
defmers Of good Characters and the cowardy treaener
Of men who in open Jay they shrink from, and to drink
down, with odous wine, the oft repeated twaddle OF
distinguished legal gentleman Of Washington and last
thoughno the least drink deep bumpers to the tune Of
.who will get fuddled the first
Oh! f that name professed to be SO reverenced by
priest and latybe made the vehicle for SANDER detrac
ton and intemperance should Ireland cry out with
one accord against the proclamation committed in this city,
when her exparated sons collected together to minge
curses with with the meekeyed child
Of Heaven religion ard blended the holy name of their
Patron with political rbadry and malicious SANDER.
We will take hasy glance at the proceedings, which
lasted long enough in all conscience in the performance
If we may Judge from the immense space occupied by
them in the National ntelgencer Of Wednesday last
We pass over the clerical proceedings, with free and
hearty concurrence in the compliments paid to the Rev
Mr.. DonelIan, Of ST. Patricks Church, whose sermon
doubtless evidenced that warm and beautiful style, lon
which his country men are distinguished; aud we COM
mend him highly for omittins to refer to political grlev-
aces as foreign TO his subject and wonder that ms audi
ence should not have taken the pointed hint and orborne
to unite the character Of their Saint with that Of adrunken
demapogue But when swine is in the head, wit is out"
and we take it for granted that Mr. DoneIan and all
church matters were forgotten after the glorious hiccap
over the fifth glass.
Mr. Donellan's reference to the hopes cherished for
Ireland we would remark, all groundless, when SO
,nnch sssweet valor out of the country was con
repated at Carusis table, Mr. Donellan should forth
with preach homeward bound crusade. Ireland In her
chains with tresses the wind, and her master
lashnp her bent and naked shoulders stands OIL the
beach, and beckons her emgrated children to her aid
Fv to her. gallant Hberniansay on the wings Of the
morning, and from braggarts in distant land live heroes
or die martyrs for your own and liberty.
We hope Mr.. Gusts will pardon US for saying that
we could not read his speech, having heard it with all its
partculars several times before. We have doubt that
it is quite graphic and mastery as his renowned pic
ture oil the Blue Horse and the Battle OF Trenton whllom
hung up in the Rotunda. We are informed by several
friends at elbow, that Mr. Gusts bade the lrishnen
return and light the fires Of Erins freedom BY the fame
Of 76 Surely they must have WINGED under the terrible
sarcasm That half redeems the orator of Arlington.
The part played by Colonel r. M. Johnson, Vice
ocf find
him twaddling about with fiat joke in his mouth, and
If he only drank wine 10 half the toasts his eyes must
have cut curious figure the next day at Church. But
the Colonel is fond of frolc, and full Of fun-a right
merry mana gentleman of exquisite w.t. but we fear
given to low company. Now, rise up ye good Demo-
crats, and say that attacking the whole Admin
istraton Cannot speak thus with impunity of an Ad
mnistration man, who it is well known is against the
Treasury? The President Of the United States,
thank Heaven not TO be fooled into this curious
semblage, and lie kept himself aloo with true manly and
American dignity. We honor him the for his
serve-it argues well for his exclusive love ofcountry,
and long may he live to merit the appreciation of his Ma
tive fellow citizens for refusing to join in the mercenary
enthusiasm of aliens and foreigners to that country
which he has the honor and happiness TO preside.
We next come 10 toast by the Hon. Mr.. Brodhead
iequivocal by the way-for broadheads ought to
have long ears mere Is his CIHltHWl.
"Ihe United States Of famerica-Long may they contn-
Tie to be the asylum of the oppressed Of all nations The
Native American Associations Of the present day. to the
contrary notwithstanding"
Poor Mr.. Brodhead! pat him gently the pate and
give him to Immortality.
Next we stumble some tom foolery by "CouLsello
Hobaa' who was brought out in quite unexpected
manner by Mr. p Ennis former Agent for the Baltimore
Banner (rag BanBer) Of Freedom. Wes skip the brilliant
ea;,sion of this milk and water decaimer, but nger
his name long enough to call to his recollection the fact
that his father said, that foreigner should vote in this
oou,drysufEcient that his children allowed the
h;b nrerogative. We regret, however, to find by Mr.
uoban,s Speech thai he is an unqualified Aboltonist
ws hone our remarks will be viewed by this gentleman
"a sufficient apology ior him 10 come out, as usnal will
hoyraphica notice of his opinions, in the lntegencer
