ZIG NERS, THOUGH HUMBLE, YET
POSSESSING MERIT, MAY NOT
HOPE TO RISE IN THIS COUNTRY,
AS WE'LL AS IN ANY OTHER" The
name Of the Irishman thus honored, is John
s. Deplin, I'd lieutenant in the marine corps,
now stationed at the navy yard in Brooklyn.
And the name Of the Virginia gentleman
who unsolicited kindly Interested himself
in behalf of Lieutenant Deylin, is John c..
Riyes, one Of the propiietors Of the Globe.
We'll, my cauntrymen, there is all instance OF
Mr.. Van Buren's liberality, as honorable to
himself as il is complimentary 10 lrishmen.
O'Connel, the shrewdesl man that ever ex-
listed, and who is battling in Ireland this mo-
ment with the same intolerant party that we
haze 10 contend with here, has Justly and fire.
qaently remarked, "fhdt one fact as arorth
a ship tod Of arguments" Here is fact for
You, one out dozen others, which the writer
OF this address could adduce, if necessary,
and his testimony viii not have the less
weight, when he declares "a circumstance
well known to almost every Ifishman i n
Washington, except the Irish Orangemen,
traitors with whom he never associates, that
he is no Office holder, never was an office
holder, and what is more, never intends 10
be an Office holder. Our talented country
woman, the celebrated lady Morgan, SAYS
that "a 'fue Lishman nerer forgicfS an in
sui, or ,torgefs a kiadac8s''--the Ltler part
Of the sentence, at least, will be verified BY
the !rishnen Of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and
New York, in less than one month! That
Mr.. Van Buren, may rest assured Of
lfishmenl the battle is commenced, the
Federal flag is uafur!cd. The enemy hus-
ter like hu.lies, and threaten 10 give US a
"WaterIno defeat:" such is the expression
used by tho Hon. r. Garland, Chairman of
the Wing Executive Committee, in his adj
dress TO lis brother Federalists ,hroughou,
the Union. All! the vile tories, how they
do delight to adopt the watchward Of their
Engli Ii brethren, in their sacrilgious crusade
against the liberties Of their country. Listen
10 the same Garland member Of Congress
too ifnsn l4aaisiaua: .. Our Siunabcriag zen
gea7rc Is a,caksnea INTO life and Qcti5n,
ready 10 banquet on The nntiiated carcass OF
DamocracY;" ihere is language for you
10 taRFn1t on the mufilQted carcaser :" the
Tory caaniba!s! the quvering flesh Of an
lrishmaa would no doubt be til-bt for them.
Hear him asain: /" We hare luid RoM IF The
fcsnWc or N5erfy." Good Heavens what
reasonable auaacity. Can any further evi-
d2nee be roqaired Of the hellish intentions of
these British Tories Their aim and object,
is no doubt The destruction Of our Republican
Government, ard to erect upon lis ruins
nnaarahE, 10 be supported by the blood and
s!ncws Of the WORKING classes! Again he
says: :" {1royg true Fcderalist may then en-
afQim 'rIi pride and erlHfafion," 81 too
tare heen AZ the taitie Ct UmerIoo," The
very Identical words used by Orange Peel
The o!l,er day, III his address to the Toles oil
Oxlcrd!! Language such as this is enough
TO open the eyes Of the most lukewarm Irish
iaa& ; il behnoves Us indeed to be on the al
err, il Harrison should be elected the "slum-
Eeriug Vengeance Of tiese Orange mis-
creams is sure to fall upon US. We shall be
among tie first victims. They threaten TO
give rs a Waterloo defeat!'' do they
,S0johEsh! these English blood-hounds viii
be made to quail before the Irish wolI-aog
irisAren! we shall lick them 10 their hearts
content, and give, them what they least ex-
poet, 4 s. Fonienoy dejcat.'
Al some Of my brave countryrlen may
