We have little TO say TO this Yankee IL Is suil-
cent for us TO know that his doctrines have been so
odous that the Grand National Council OF Ireland,
the Repeal Association spent good part OF two
DAVIS in strong and eloquent rebuke OF this same
Yankee as will be in The Tribune OF Nov ember
a,b His defence of uuobs and swindles has been go
outrageous that those living under monarchy can
not suffer it to pass without condemnation Parpc ulary
sresuch doctrines hateful TO the Irish people who greet
ed with raptures OF applause the just casugaton which
This Yankee received from Mr.. O'CoNSELL in Conci
iation Hail. We conented to stand by the side
of John OConnel and Capt Broderick sustained BY the
cheers e the Irish people than 10 be pulled by such iei
handed compliments as this Yankee receives from the
News
Bat this Yankee has a cute way of mingling right and
wrong together-of sugaring over the denominations OF
inouty so that they eagerly swallowed and then say
ing tina, they arc after he has made them as sweet
as possible But this pretended adherence of wrong
while il ia rolled AS sweet morsel under the tougae,
is too transparent hide the latent design No one cou
see through this more clearly than John Cornell In
bis speech of Oct 9th he says of this Yankee (See Til
bune Nov. eth):
took occasion to express my regret that any Irish
man in America could approve OF such an act cor
respondent takes me TO task and says omed ras DE-
nunciatons of slavery confess dd nave got tue
paper here and on looking over ma omlteo H. ana
il Is no wonder that did because almost al u1e very
end very far down in it. there occurs senteace eS-
pressive of the adherence of slavery whilst every thing
preceding was perhaps unntentonaiiy higntonec u
baton al the of the notorious swinde by WHICH
| Texas was annexed to the United States
This same correspondent takes us to taskfor omans
to mention his condemnation OF the destruction Oh Mr. Z
NJ Claws press We reply with Mr.. oConne, that the
heightened jub;lation" the success OF the destruction
made it difficult to see the condemnation Ii man
ia putv Of crime we do not say that the innocent way in
which the crime perpetrated rendered wrong right
! Mr. OConnell adds
"Whst I complained Of and what atill complain of
;s that the correspondent Of the Freendms onraat-
himself an rishman-should cast such siur upon popu
lar movements in general as TO speak OF the 'lisnous ac
of the cutthroat coouists OF Texas as great ana grand
popular movement
What nee complained Of and still complain OF, is that
an Irishman signing himself Yankee" should SO mis-
represent Americans to say that we administer MOD
Law discreetly," if any indscreton could become
discreet NJ. OConnell continues
aIf the correspondent of the Fremans Journal wishes
m stand well with his counrymen at home- he deslres
that any value be attached to his mere IN
Ireland let him show his detesaton OF Slavery IN ms
letters in unequivocal and not to be mistaken
/ to-, hpve as
cation and exultaon. and triumphng over the most
arornus act OF syndne which has occurred since Inc
legislative union between Ireland and England
We give one more extract from Mr. o Councils speech
tits complete refutaon o the morality Oh the News
| and its Irish Yankee" that must quote 1t:
He did not complain of Kishmen doing justice 10 he
merits and uirtuss Of the 4maicans Whdt ne compfh"ed
of 1ras that Ismcn could be found ready 10 stand up and
defend the rices Of The Americans
Our sentiments again and that 30 fully ana eloquent
" expressed and yet with such brevy that we think
covers the whole ground. If Yankee wishes to praise
us let him praise our virtues but character Will not
be elevated by any man under the name OF Yankee
defending Annexation swndles and Mobs We condemn
all mobs whether against public press, or Christian
Church Ifthey are defended in case. they will be
used in another case. We have some virtues which
might be mentioned, but if we go to defend vices the
world will conclude that have virtues 10 boast Of
OF Yankee we have nothing to say The News twice
nsnuatcs that he is Of little account but principles a!e
| of importance We stand with the pure and vrtuous
here and in ireland in condemning wrong and IN show
ing our adherence in honest disapprova not in frivolous
| apologies for the wrong done. We are contented with
our position and afford to let attacks from such op
! moments pass without notice.
