HURRA FOR OLD IRELAND!

The following spirited article is from the Dublin
Correspondent of the Boston Pilot, and we doubt
not speaks the sentiments Of Ireland in regard to
the dispute between this country and Great Brit
tain
"7he Pirate McLeod.-The decision of the
N. Y. Court in this case, has given the greatest
satisfaction in Ireland. The bold tone in which
Judge Cowan pronounced The opinion of the Court,
has fully answered the expectations which we form
ed of the citizens Of the Republic. England has
at length met people willing and able to stand her
TO her teeth and fling back in scornful defiance her
empty threats. What will she now do? ? Humbed
and debased, even in her own estimation, she must
brook the contumely which she has received as the
just reward of her insolence"

JOHN M. BOTTS,

/ Mr.. Bolts has published violent attack on Mr.
Tyler, consequent the exposure of his Letter to
the "Richmond Coffee House." which was publish
ed in our last paper. He lays much stress upon the
ungentlemanly manner in which his Letter was
obtained for publication. These are the days in
which scamps, after induging in all sorts of polit-
ical meanness, throw themselves under the covert
ofa Fictitious gentilty, which has no rule of honor
no principle of virtue to commend it. What sort
ofa gentleman is he who would, under the guise
of personal regard for Mr.. Tyler, lay plan to trap
him, to "fasten him." by which he would be forev-
er dsgraced in the view of all honorable men ? Is
it becoming gentleman, a Virginia gentleman,
to play the go-between with Messrs. Tyler and
Clay, while abusing the confidence and acting the
part ofa traitor to the former? Such, if we are
not misnformed, has been the enviable position of
Mister gentleman Bolts. To US it is astonishing,
how creatures like Bolts, with modicum of tai
ents, can become conspicuous actors on the public
arena and the acknowledged leaders of an intelligent
ard powerful party. A lack Of principle and full
measure of impudence is all that is now necessary
TO make any thing great man in the ranks of the
whggery.

PIRATES.

Mr.. H. Clay. in his Trades to-day, gave. as a
reason why the Harrisburg Convention which
nominated General Harrison, issued no declara-
ton of principles. that declarations of war were
not issued against PIRATES that the way was
to cut and to slash-kil and slay-giVe no
quarter. and say nothing to them This was
the way, he said. TO treat PIRATES; and thus
was the reason whyno declaration Of principles
was issued at Harrisburg. Thus, Mr.. Clay as
Stimulates the Democracy of the United States to
pirates. virtually calls them pirotss in speech
in the Senate oflhe United States; and not only
calls them pirates, but is for treating them as
such No address to them-no manItesto-no

Pirats-cut him and slash him-kill and sIay
give no quarter and show no mercyl This is
the way to treat Democracy A pirate is defined
to be hOstis Aumani geners-the enemy of the
human race-and this is what Mr.. Clay calls
Democracy-Gk0be.

TO OUR DEMOCRATIC FRIENDS.


We have been reminded that it is time the atten-
tion of the people called to the subject of our
next election Of Governor and the Legislature
and that the Fall Term Of the Superior Courts will
be favorable period for consultation as the prop
er step preparatory to the spring and summer cam
pagn. If a General Convention is 10 be held, it
will be soon time for the appointment uf Delegates.
The time and place for the meeting can be indca-
ted by friends in their primary assemblies.
Whether it shall be thought advisable to start a
candidate for Governor, and the steps proper to be
taken for bringing before the people the great ques
tion at issue-the Justification of the "whg" party
Of all their fair promises-as we'll in Congress as
in the State Legislature, matters of grave i'm
port which can be more properly decided upon in
a General Convention. The next Legislature will
be one of great importance, and may settle the poll
tcal character ofthe State for many years. 1t will
have to re-organze the Congressional Districts to
regulate those of the State Senate; besides having
TO elect United States Senator, as Mr.. Grahdnt's
term will expire with the present Congress. We
cannot for moment believe that the freemen OF
the State will again entrust political power in the
hands Of the 'whig" party, after the experience
they have had of the doings Of the last Legislature
as we'll as by Congress at its Extra Session. Our
object, at present, is merely draw public atten
tion TO the subject, and we shall be glad to have
the views of our friends as to the course best to
pursue.

% Twenty-one males and four females were
brought up before the Recorders Court in New
Orleans, on the morning of the 24th of August, on
various charges, all arising from the use Of ar

vicious indulgence, in which some people say
"there is no HARM" If the number in New Or

FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC WH1GGERY.

FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC WHIGGERY.
The universal whig party" disappointed
both at home and abroad. The English branch of
this party denominated tories and do not reject
the appellation. In this country they are called
''whigs" at this time, having assumed as many
shapes and attitudes and names. to delude the peo-
ple as did the Prince of Darkness to win souls
from grace. The disappointment at home, in con-
sequence of the veto, is very great; but it cannot
be distressing here than it will be the tories
of England. The papers in that country boasted
that Great Britain exercised powerful influence O.
the social political and fiscal affairs of this coun-
try. We have certainly an upstart aristocracy who
ape all the social habits of their British masters
and the fruition of Federal hopes was only want
ing to render our political and fsca' affairs sub.
servient to British influence. The London Morn
ing Post, of June, 1910, said, "By the election oil
General Harrison, the Whg candidate and the
rejection of Mr.. Van Buren, the return of the Co.
vernment to a sound and rational system of bank
ing will follow matter oc course; and possibly
the United States Bank may once more find itself
under the protection Of proper charter" Our
people will see how we'll the ''whigs'' of the Uni
ted States play into the hands of British tories in
endeaVoring to get "proper charter' for what has
been justly and truly called British Bank in this
country. The same London paper said, eve re-

THE DISTRIBUTION BILL.

This bill, so obnoxious in lis principles, by which
money is taken from the Treasury and distributed
among the States, while tax is laid and deb
incurred to supply its pretended wants, is not Likely
to have the effect intended by the FederalIsts. By
the amendment of Mr.. Berrien, distribution is 10
cease whenever the wants of the Treasury shall
require duty of more than twenty per cent. ad-
valorem, upon any imported articles. The case
contemplated by the amendment exists now, and is
likely to continue for long time to come so the
bill is altogether imperative and the punder of the
public Treasury will not be carried into effect a.
greeably to the intentions of Federalism.
The following from the Money article in tie
New York Herald, of August 80, 1941, illustrates
this subject:
"There exists no manner of doubt that the pro-
iect of establishing National Bank has failed en-

1t is conceded on all sides that its passage at the
present is not necessary. The land bill has been
