The Louisinnian and Mr.. Peyton.-The cours. OF

vile attempt to class the ~hue opposition the nd min

1.-THE Irish Wings, or Irish Van Buren, men can sup
'se for moment that the pretended Indignation Of the
ncendnry ed ofthe Louisianan against the conduct
Of Mr.. Peyton is real: they the men we take them
for. As hgs court not the Of any faction but
leave every free 10 judge Ietween our principles
and those Of Martin Van Buren,. The insinua,ions
therefore Of the Louisanan il respect the opposition
false, and while he penned than the editor knew
them to h. so.
As the Louisianan has ascribed to party mortal
eni ity against alt lri-hmen, let see how the Van
Buren, party stands affected towards this class Of our
citizens. Secretly, that party despises all Irshmen
While its leaders d;sgustingly fa,tr the Irish char
acer they, their hearts hate them, call them gnnran,
fools, and look upon them tools in their cunning
hands. Let Irishmen take the pains to frd out the
opinions Of their pretended friends and they will find
that The Van Buren, party are their greatest enemies.
1t is rule with the pa,y never TO give office to
freshman If it can be avoided, that the aec Ted gardr
of the Lonisauan and its editor for lri>hmen all
hollow, all false. What they expec, from apos>
tate federai,t?
A word or the offence ascrihed to Mr.. Pey.
ton. We terl confident that there is not respectable
Iri>man in the city who Inns really taken offence at Mr..
Prytons language in regard to his Countrymen. All
i,o,b
men, sinister purposes. They hope gull the great
majority Of IRISH in this city, the absrims Iish into
belief that they to he prescribed by the Americans,
and in company with the renegade federast Of the Lou.
isaninn, would willingly these people avenge
their pretended wrongs. II this the obsct Of
these parsons, why do til y attack Mr. Peyton anony-
mously.
Mr.. Peyton is ready, we doubt not at all times to
answer any gentleman for his conduct PERSONAL
and is Mr. Wiyginton, but we know they will
know ledge the right Of any man, set OF call
them account Tor the tree use OF speech in the per.
tornance Oft professional duties Reverse tho case;
and where would be the Irshmun who would yield
any such demand! Let the Advertiser its silly
Trades, and the Louisanan give up its vile attempts
deceive, and there is not rishmnn in the city who
will not sustain Mr.. Peyun and Mr.. Wggintcn in what
they snid.
We have defended Messrs. Peyton s. Wigginton on
the broad ground Of liberty Of Speech and feel sur
that all Of will do the same more
iy when they find out, they will, that all this hubbub
h sbecn created by designing persons.
