alarm, he would be compelled to issue an an.
anonymous llandblll, on which appeared neither
the "VIcksburg Sentinel nor the name of its

wish to invite the candid and dispassionate at
tention of the public. 1t is well known thai pre-
viouS to his late visit to Ireland,he was in the
constant habit of abusing Mr.. O'Connell as
corrupt abohtIonist and traitor. late English
periodical proves beyond doubt, that there is
large par in Ireland, whose object is to dissolve
the Union with England to establish an IL |
dependent oligarchy with OConnel at its |
head, as dictator for life; and to effect this end
they seek the assistance of foreign aid Dr. |
Hagan returns home; there is an immediate |
and entire change in the tone of his paper in |
relation to the great agitator.
He becomes furious advocate Of an imr1e- |
date war with England, and urges that an
American General should invade Ireland and |
produce separation of that country from Eng |
land, and change in its form of government. |
His letters from Europe also, are full of this |
81 beet. Hence his fierce attacks upon Mr. |
Webster and the British Treaty, and his as.
SAILS on Mr.. Calhoun, his former IDOL for W. |
ting for the treaty, as well as his denunciation !
of him and MIR. McDuffie, for voting arains: /

another startling fact, IN connection with this
subject. 1t is we'll known. that the revenues
of his paper have supported 1t with great dIttl-
