A working man here lives like gentleman, at d
every table is loaded with all the deicacies o the

grocer in New York. In the morning he gets up al
five o'clock, and sets of with his wagon to the
wharf, where all the steam. boats arrive loaded
with fruit OF every description He goes through
amongst the sellers, and makes his bargains
long in getting it all disposed Of when he sets of
tor the fruit market for another load. On Satur
days Mr.. - always goes three times. You
may think this a very strange trade tor grocer,

folks here care not what they traffic IN j they can

the federalists, on the part Of the repealers as
body. Mr. ID contends that federalism is essen
tally worse thing than repeal. First, because
it stlllleaves England the head quarters Of Irish
politics and ambition perpetuates the Irish sub
lection, and fails to discourage absenteeism. Se-
ndIy--Bccahse in itself it is OF no use to Ire
land. Thirdly, As demanding Reconstruction
OF the institutions of the empise, i is lmlracca-
Bile. The second point to which Mr.. Duffy con-
tends, il, that it is bad policy to embrace federal
ism and lastly, that the Repeal Aassocation hav-
ing been organized on repeal principles, has nc
last Irish Parliament had to vote away the inde-
pendence of Ireland. Mr. Duffy is, however, will
