Boston Correspondence Remarks Of the Herald on the
Irish in america fully endorsed by Sensible Men
-Abohtion-Lrish Repeal, &c.
JAMES e. BENEFIT
DEAR SIR
In your paper of the 9Th instant is letter from
your Boston correspondent, o. p G, under date of
29.h Jansry, giving an account of an Irish Repeal
and Abolition meeting that took place in Boston.
Now, that letter has been read here with great
deal of establishment, and in order that no misunder.
standing should take place as to who are the sup
porlers OF Abolition and that the right parties only
should be accused, | am induced to offer you the
few following remarks But first, let me tell you
that every southern mar, and in fact every man Of
common sense, fully endorses your remarks in the
Herald u the S.h instant, which remarks were
:" II now generally supposed that there will be
complete revolution in the feelings of the natives of
Ireland in this country, tow ards Daniel o Conneli-

Irish in America, he will find himself small pota-

aware, Is to us soulherners very tender one, and

in their hesA cause, only another proof that they

That they will succeed in enisting some few Irish,
do not doubt but they never can, never will be
able to draw over to their cause the great body of
the Irish. AS you yourself remark, they have ia
natcal horror OF all the colored race, and Daniel
OConnell, Father Matthew, and even the Pope
himself, might as well attempt to allay and destroy
that sectional hatred that exists between Corkoni
an and Connaught boy, as to make the Irish 1.-The

man on board steamboat, take him driving dray,
take hum in any situation, and never will you find
him bulge an inch to negro, or acknowledge ne
groes as his equals. II runs against their nature to
do so, and after all they have sense enough to

would the Irish tor such purpose. But this doctrine

northern Irish respond to the call of Garrison and
other fanatics, you must not condemn the whole
body Of lrshmen In this country. In our southern
cities think it is the Irish that regulate and keep
the negroes in subsection. negro likes an Irish
man as he likes the devil-he would be owned by
any one rather than an lrishman or Frenchman. /
