The ApvFRTIsER.--The incendary course OF

disgust of all good citizens. Because Mr.. feyt"h

enjoy all immunilies of the native born citizens,
and no sooner do these strangers get toothold IN
the country than they raise up their arms against
the very Institutions to whose llherality they are
indebted for an asylum from tyranny and statNa-
zion. few among them even dare 10 deny an
American citizen the RICH, TO speak his sentiments
openly and freely, because those sentiments are
not in favor of their general character. Is this
libertv? Will the American citizen sit still and
see foreigners attempt TO put down the right of
speech,
We have looked upon his outrageous attack
on the liberties of every American, for Mr..
Pevon is native born American, with burning
indignation. As the Advertiser ndh;s feW friends,
TOR we do not believe he has with him even all
the respectable Irshmen of the city, have pro-
posed to erect print devoted to the Irish interests
let them 90 on. We know where Americans are
to be found. They will eschew such an ncen-
diary and clanish concern at once, and the Adj
vertiser will soon learn whether his friends cam
support him in his attempt TO scatter abroad the
tre-brands he has been busy in lighting for the
last few days. writer for his paper suggests
that the respectable Hishmesa Of the city convene,
&c. Only look at this Even these defenders of
Irishmen against what they please to term Mr..
Peyton's abuse, admit Mr.. Peyion's classification
of Irshmen. Not one Of his remarks applied to
the respectable Irishaen, but his attack de-
seryedly upon those who were not. But let this
passive call on all good citizens to pat down
the moderate propositions Of the Advertisement
his furious friends, by Withdrawing their support
from his paper. Let him be rebuled for his de-
signs to stir up the Irish against Americans.
Let him be rebuked for daring interfere in The
right Of speech Let him and all his friends be
admonlshed that the lights of society are superior
TO those Of any clan, and that American liberty
does not recognize the existence Of Irish tights,
opposed to American rights. Let him be taught
that freedom of speech is allowed to all, that
while it would be honorable to defend ones
opinions, ii is violation Of all social rights TO
excite one portion Of the community against an
other, for the purpose of maintaining those oPin-
ions.
