among the pious wings, as well as the lmpious
latitudinarian and religious free thinking philoso
piers of that district. His being member of the
Irish Dire Glory, and the noise he made in favor
of the Irish revolution, it is expected will give HIM
the Irish vote. Mr.. Brooks brings ioto the concern
all the SINNERS and shavers of Wall street wholive
uptown In the Fifteenth ward, together with
the Office beggars and office seekers of the old
wing party. BY mixing together all these dlsco..-
dant materials, in every possible wav it is sup.
posed that they will be elected % Congress, to re-
present the different interests of the ofce-seekers
OF this CITY, well as the different doctrines of
the politicians and socialists. Let them have
every chance, SO that we can what sort OF peo'
pie the Sixth district Is composed Of.
SYMPATHY OF Mr.. GREELEY, Mr.. Books,
AND Mr.. LAW, FOR IRELAND There has
been a good deal of controversy, and several
cards have been published, IN reference to the
benevolence exhibited by Mr.. Law, who is a
candidate for Congress in the Sixth district, and
also in reference to Mr.. Greeley, touching their
benevolence towards Irishmen in this country, as
well as at home. The facts seem to be these, as
far as they can be accurately ascertalned-
| Mr. Greeley made great show of subscribing
luton IN ireland, some months ago, at an Irish
meeting. This money was paid to the Directory,
with other money; and among this Directory we
find the name of Mr.. Greeley. The whole sum
collected to effect the revolution in Ireland,
amounted to thirty or forty thousand dollars, IN
Guiding the five hundred paid by Mr.. Greeley. All
this money, including the five hundred dollars
paid by Mr.. Greeley, has been retained in
the hands of Mr. Greeley, and his brother
directors, and no account has been published
| of what has become OF it, or who has got
hold of it; so that, in fact, Mr. Greeley's benevc-
lence amounts to the startling piece of generosity
of tax ing five hundred dollars out of one pocket.
showing it off to the Inshmen and then putting it
into the other pocket, and then buttoningit up,
| and allowing no one to know what has been done
| with it.
| This is Greeley's generosity. Now for the case
of Mr.. Law.
We understand that when these political specu-
lators were running about town to make up the
thirty or forty thousand dollars, no account of
which, as we have before said, has ever been rem
dered by Greeley Iandshis directors, they called
upon MIR. Law. Mr.. Law, knowing how such men
are generally actuated, refused to give cent
" Not a cent, "said he, "will give" But did he
refuse to give to Ireland or to Inshmen No ouch
thing. He sent, through the house of McMurray,
value to the amount of two hundred and ffty dol
lars for the benefit of Irshmen, to furnish them
with food, instead of bloody British bullets. Thus
far appears to be only his general benevoence to-
wards Ireland as far as contributions are concern
ed; but yet he has done more than this. For wears
past he has gwen work to hundreds of Irshmen
as contractor, and never has he screwed down
their wages, or shaved down their little plttance
as Mr.. Brooks, who conducts the ssrat'' printing
office of the Express, shaves the poor Irish an d
American printers that may be employed there
Calculating, In ordinary way, 1t may be est-
mated that within the last fifteen years-the period
during which Mr. Law has been In busine ss-he
has paid out IN the shape of wages-fulI wages,
generous wages-to Americans, freshmen, Ger
mans, and others, nearly t,Oo millions of dollars !;
while Mr. Greeley, the great talker and babber
for Ireland and Irish freedom, subscribes five hun
drej dollars, by taking 1t out Of one pocket and
putting it into the other, at the same time recely-
ing the subscriptions of others to the amount of
thirty or forty thousand dollars-not one cent of
which has yet been accounted for properly. As
| to Mr. Brooks, no one ever accused him of SUBJ
scrlblng one cent to Ireland, to any other gene
rous object whatever; but he was constantly en-
gagged in maligning, insulting, and abusing Ire.
land, and every thing connected with her uhtor-
tunate people, besides being shaver of the wages
of the free white American as well as Irishmen,
employed IN his printing office.
These are the men, and principles, and views,
that will give edge and interest to the Congress.
sional election IN the sixth district Let Justice
be done to all parties.
MIR. BROOKS AND THE WORKING PRINTERS
Mr.. Brooks publishes a card, signed by a few
printers in his employ, in which an evasive at
tempt is made to deny the facts alleged against
HIM by over one hundred journeymen printers in
relation to the practice adhered to In his office of
cutting down the wages Of printers and otherwise
shaving them out Of their honest earnings. This
card, however, only extends to the past week,
and does not pretend to make any denial of the
long practice persisted in for years by the Express
office, against the interest Of the working classes
in endeavoring to reduce Journeymen printers to a
species of white slaves. This Is the man, too,
who talks great deal about the dignity of labor,
during the last few days, and the necessity of
protecting it in Congress, by increasing the tariff
and filling the pockets of specializing manufac-
turers.
TURNING AND TWISTING the candidate
TO, Congress, is great at turning and twisting lie
bitterly opposed the natives when that party first
rose up-he now begs for their votes He de-
nounced Gen. Taylor, and opposed his nomination;
and now he asks his friends votes; and soon he
will want an Office from the old hero. He abused
and insuled the Irish, and now begs Greeley to get
the naturased Irish to vote for him. but not to let
them know about it.
TELEaRApHIc SrocK.--It appears, from state
ments made In the newspapers, that the Buffalo
Telegraph Company has declared dividend of a
very handsome character-almost equal to ten per
cent. during the past year. 1t seems that all the
telegraph companies are coming out and making
