Responded to by them, as is evinced by the
general conduct OF the mass of them in
their own as well as in this country.
If federalism" only fourishes in SO
limited M association as that OF Orange
ism" in Irclaud, why has it been suffered
to exist SO long and to such degree as TO
drive this advocate Of Democracy away
from his own soil? We would suppose
lhata few such ardent, courageous, lIbcr-
lty-loving Democrats MS this writer makes
himself to be, instead of being driven from
his home and his friends, by Federalism,
would have united with them in expelling
| this monster from his den in Ireland, at
least over into Great Britain. So far from
| this, however, he has been no doubt one
ofthe rcadiest and safest means, in trans
porting this, and all other political as well
MS moral curses 10 this injured land. I'm
happy man he has come 10 the United
States, where he finds this direful monster
stalking through the length and breadth
ofthe land -pervading the whole country,
and bringing il to ruin to a crisis en-
ine.tly monentous :" and it is left for
Irishmen, who have fled from it at home,
10 grapple the monster in America. o
that the nobility there would hasten to the
assistance Of their countrymen against the

elections close, and the fate of parties is

Globe could furnish, if not leader, at
least an abettor, in the conflict, and decide
the fate Of this ubiquitous demon Of Irish
democracy in fields Of blood"
An appeal to Irishmen to rescue the
United Srates from danger !! Does not
the American heart beat high with indig-
nation at snch insolence? The natives
are of no importrnce-they are regarded
in the light Of enemies.
But sGrattan" has overlooked the east
est way of getting out of the difficulties
Of which he complains, that is, for him
and his caste to return whence they came,
and he p to rescue their Erin first. We,
the natives, are willing to take the bur
then Of our national affairs on ourselves
with all their danger, the greatest Of which
lis, we think, created by the presence of
incendlaries like 'sGrattan"
To whom is this appeal made? To
people who have found it profitable to
come here and enjoy Liberties, and arrogate
to themselves rights which they had not
courage TO aaectat home: who basely be-
trayed their Enmets to the scaffold, and
deserted the banner Of him who offered
to lead them to victory, to glory, and to
lreedom-and purchased for themselves
an ignobIe security by their cowardice.

+" by their shameless hypocracy and wick
led conceptions have brought this Re.
public to 4 crisis ''eminenlly momentous.'
This imported patriot, servile tool, PEN
stoned to Islander his adopted country by
venal politicians, is in deep distress at the
/ sad condition Of the nation, and calls OH
" the finest specimens Of the human race
as he terms his countrymen AMONG us,
for their sympathy towards the Admins
tration to save it from other hands.
Now, if the Republic is reduced to SO
dreadful condition, which we do not
deny, who are TO blame for it? Who
have had the management and control OF
ut for twelve years past. both in the
General and State Governments Those
very men who or SO abusive of Native
Amencanism, those who have been in

TO pass, are the supporters of that organ
of foreigners the Globe. Why then
falsely charge il upon those who were
powerless? Those who govern the co,ln-
try III all its ranEicalons of official au-
thority, legalor arbitrary, are justly respon-
sihle for the evil consequences Of their
bad measures.
