"Do THE IRISH EAT ASHES 2"

THIS fippant question addressed by Mr..
BEprFoER TO the voters Of Berkeley, seems TO
be considered by our Democratic friends a trI-
umphant refutation oil the Wing statements
that the famine in Ireland, and mol Mr.. PoLK's
Tariff, is the cause oil the advance in the price
of produce. Apart from the bad taste eyinced
by the preparation Of witIicisms in connexion
with the subject Of the appalling calamity OF
the Irish people, we cannot see that there IS
much force in the argument. With all due
Difference to the opinions Of our late represea-
,ative, we would respectfully suggest that the
kind Of ashes which forms an important artI.
Gle OF export from this country, is used in ma
king many sorts Of bread--especialy when
scarcity or any other cause makes it necessary
10 use inferior or damaged -four.
True, the Irish do not live upon ashes, but
British manufacturers use them in producing
the very articles that enter into competition
with At8erican Industry Besides, we are not
rery sure, that to selee, few articles of cem-
merce which happen to answer the parpose Of
the speaker, and Ihsiss Ca the price Of them es-
,abli,hing his theory, is the farest way to dis
cuss question OF vital importance TO the peo-
pie. The price Of ashes is not matter of very
grea, importance to the farmers Of this Dis
trc,, but the price Of -four is: and no CANDID
man vii deny that bu, for the awful vista
ton OF our Irish brethren, that article would
have been hardly wersh sending to market.

Yana also reports that he lost his own snip on
the northwest coast, and sailed for Callao on
his way home. He mentions the massacre Of

the interior of California, with every circum-

sents that the Indians were insiigated to the
deed by the priests among them.

captain Of whaleT, who came overland TO

the ships Susan Drew and Loo Choo had ar

TO that degree that some thirty odd of the

ARRoeAscE.--It was al one time supposed
that General Thomas IL. BArLY, says the
Richmond Times, member Of the late Con-
gress from the Accomac district, was firmly
attached follower Of MIR. Calhoun; bot many
recent indications leave no doubt Of his haY-
ing abandoned that geRtleman's fortunes; and
communication in the Wing. describing a
discussion between the General and Mr..
JoHs J. JosEs. the Wing candidate, a: York
Town, suggests the belief that he has become
an admirer and imira,or Of MIR. Calhoun's
great rival, Mr.. Benton. We hardly think
that the speech about the Lieutenant General
ship affords better example Of selfconceit
aud presumption, than Is described In the fol-
lowing extract from the letter Of the Wings
correspondent:
I'm the opening Of his first speech, Judge
BArLY, with more self gratula,lon than good
taste, rather vauntingly expressed wish that
he had "a foema ,rorthy Of hi, STEEL" Sc, cal
ling MIR. JosIs an apprentice in politics. Mr..
j., in the beginning OF his reply, quoted from

ply Of Prince HARRY 10 a similar ,auni OF Hor.

he had gotten half through his speech ii was
