| here Is not single word of truth in any
one OF The above PARTICLES of impeachment
which are set forth by one no has become a
general beler and scold. We can easily
dispose Of the whole of them
|. An AriStocratic Iron Master Gen. IRWIN
is plain unostenlalious gentleman, frugal in his
habits, and living on terms of friendly inter-
course with every worthy neighbor.
2. The father of The Bankrupt Lau--.- Gen.
IRWIN voted for that law, which was called for
by the country with an unanimiy which sell
dom awaits any great public measure. He,
however, cannot claim any paternal relation 10
1t. II his vote was wrong. he erred in compa-
ny with many distinguished democrats for the
law was adopted by no party vote.
3. The advocate of taring Tea and Coffee -
Gen IRWIN never voted for such tax, but al
ways steadily opposed il, both by his votes and
IN his speeches. The Bedford Gazette knew
this assertion TO be falsehood, when il was
penned.
a. The Reuiler Of Gen Jacksom-Gen IRWIN
voted for the restoration of The fine imposed on
Gen. JACKSON at New Orleans during the last
war There was much unanmiiy on the final
passage of iha, bill-there would have been
more, had il been asked as an aci of simple ex
pediency or justice, and not for the purpose of
making political capital.
5. The friend of Thaddeus Steuens-And so
he is of FRANCIS r. SKUNK. He as intimate
with one the other, and his relations are as
friendly with one as The other.
6. The supporter of the Buckshot War.-Gen.
IRWIN was in no way, either directly or indi-
rec,ly, connected with that disgraceful effort of
locofocoism 10 west by force what il sought 10
attain by fraud.
z. The adsocate ofhs Gettysburg Railroad
We presume We have as good authority for
denying this as The Bedford Gazette has for as.
serIing it. Neither of US knows any thing of
Gen. IRNIN's views on the utility Of lha, work !;
and for all political purposes, the accusation
might as well be made against him, that he is
The advocate OF the Tower of Babel
8. The porSAirper Ofa United States Bank.
Gen. IRWIN never made application 10 that
Bank during lis existence for the establishment.
of Branch, as did MARTIN VAN buren,
Nor did he ever draw up and present bill for
a renewal of lis charter, as did GEORGE M.
DALLAS.
g. The Trampeter of his Opn acts of Charity.
Gen. IRWIN has been inexpressbly panied
because his friends with Jealous desire that
all the world should know him as they know
him, have made public some of his charitable
acts. They were performed in The true spirit
inculcaied by the command not 10 lei the left
hand know The dongs of The right II they
have become known, it was through no agency

TO- An Old School Anti War Federalist-
Gen. IRWIN was hardly of age during the war
with England, and therefore could no, have
participated with James Buchanan in his anti
war federalism. Bu, Gen. IRWIN was brought
up an old school democrat, by father who was
also democrat, when that name was politi-
cal honor and before the hordes OF old Feder
aIism broke into the halls of Democracy, tram
pied down its principles, tore up lis old land
marks and compelled those who cherished their
ancient falih and reverenced consistency as
we'll as purity of political sentiment, 10 leave
party which was democro,ic only in name, and
form themselves into the Wing pary-a Wing
party which combined all the essentials of that
democracy which Madison taught when feder-
alism re'iled him; that democracy which Mon
roe practised, lovingly as 10 dspel all partisan
acerbity tina, democracy which Crawford a.
vowed when federalism assailed him that de-
which Henry Clay championed when
federalism like rank weed was choaking its
growth, aud which he has advocated ihrough
good repor. and bad report, until federalism
wreaked lis vengeance upon him, by poisoning
The public ear 10 his virtues, misrepresenting
his sentiments and acts, and following him up
with maigniiy of delraciion and recklessness
Of peIverson such as have never before been
known in the history of the world
Gen. IRWIN is one of these Wings, demo-
cratic Wing snd there beats moi a heart in the
country more warmly. fondIy, and periodically,
for The best interests Of that country. Gen. lR-
WIN is the son of man who sought the refuge
OF our land, when tyranny assalled him too Bit
terly in Ireland and from such fathers lips
a son could learn nothing bu. the puresi princi-
pies of republicanism. Ask The old men of
northern Pennsylvania, whether any of the IR-
WIN blood were anli-war federalis,s-ask them
10 what :" old school" Of politics they were al
tached Ask them whether the father now
dead, or the son now living, Were traitors 10
