in The excuses of the political trading of the
Wing leaders in The South, it would be found in
the fact that they are systematically making war
upon every leading Democrat at the North,
whose convictions of duty 10 the Constitution and
The South, have induced them to stand up boldly
in support Of the domestic rights guaranteed to
the South by the Constitution.
lfprudence and justice could control the strong
prejudice which is thus misleading Southern
Wings, they would no doubt realize the crying
injury they are doing 10 our best interest In
stead Of abusing Northern Democrats for advo-
eating principle so strongly identified with our
domestic peace and interest, why not, Gas they
ought to feel in duly bound 10 do) award 10 them
the proper need ofpraise for their conduct, and
call upon their Northern Wing friends TO so and
do likewise7
To our minds this would be the course that in.
teresl and duty alike demand; but, as the North
is strongest, such course might, in The minds OF
Grading Whig'poilicians," spoil their chance for
President making.

Pursuant to public notice. meeting of the
friends of Ireland was held at the White Schoo
House in the village of Southport, on Saturday
evening. goth August, 1913.
The meeting having been called to order, F. S
Lowell was called to the chair, and T. e. Freuder-
CAST was appointed Secretary.
After brief speech from the chairman, stating
the objec; of the meeting and urging the necessity
of immediate action, it was, on motion of d. Har
kin, Esq, Resolred, That the meeting choose one
corresponding secretary, and one treasurer, pursu-
ant to the plan detailed in the circular of the Ex.
ecutive Committee of the friends of Ireland in
New York.
On motion of Andrew Leonard it was further
Resolred, That committee of FIVE be appointed by

Repeal of the yViamOt PrOyisO.

The Cass and Taylo!ites think the free territory
men should now lay down their arms, since the
Wilmot provlso has been embodied in the Oregon
bill This is like expecting army TO withdraw
from the field as soon as il has conquered one wing
of the opposing force. 1t seems TO be forgotten
that we have yet New Mexico and California and
that il Gen. Taylors opinion be correct we will
have at no distant period all of Mexico. Tine
South has tacitly yielded the ground north of the
Missouri compromise line, and henceforth there
will be contest north of that latitude -
But in doing this they distinctly announce the
purpose of maintaining what they call their rights
south of that latitude President Polk stated in
concurrng in the Oregon bill that he did it only
because the country lay north of that line Had
any portion of it lain south he would have vetoed
it. Does any man suppose that Sam Houston has
come over to ADVOCATE the Wilmot proviso, and
vet he voted for the Oregon bill. The time is nor
and nor peculiarly that we are called upon TO ac',
on this question 1t is now when we have gain
ed partial victory, that should follow up our
advantage. To pause now is TO lose the fruits OF
all we have done. Judging from the course OF
Houston and Spruance on this occasion, we apprc
bend it is designed TO claim for the south, in Virtue
of their concession, with more pertluacity the
country south of this line. Should Cas- or Taylor
be elected, in all probability they will get it. The
election of either Cass or Taylor will be a triumph
for the south, and acIt concession OF their claims.
Ii free territory men are willing to concede that
what is wrong north of a certain line is right south
of H. and should be permitted to prevail south
then their work is done. But if the other
hand, they are contending for right and Justice
throughout the whole land their work has Just
commenced. 1t is said that the triumph already
obtained has been through the instrumentality Of
the Buffalo Convention. Ifsuch be the case how
important continre and perfect that effort. If
we have already in the infancy o. our efforts &C
compshcd so much, shall not continue that eff
fort until the grand result be obtained.

FURTHER NEWS BY THE CAMBRIA.
ENGLAND,

In the Peers, on Thursday, Lord Brought
ham moved for copies Of proclamalions is
sued by the Lieutenant of Ireland for
the apprehension of certain persons in that
country, and then proceeded To descant on
the instruction in Ireland, on the activity
the Government had shown in depressing it,
and on the measures which should be taken
TO eXtingulsh discomfort.
In his opinion the real remedy for the
evils under which, Ireland had so long la
bored would be found III a ludicious system
of colonization and in The suppression Of
illegal assemblies and sedftions clubs. The
Marquis of Lansdown said that though the
instruction in Ireland might be said to be
suppressed, yet the state of that country
would require the greatest care and precau-
ton for some time to come.
Under that conviction her Majesty's Gov
eminent were resolved to make ample use
OF The means canfided to them by parliament.
The Duke of Wellington said, that though
ltappeared there was no danger of an actual
outbreak, it was still admitted that an extern
slve conspiracy against the Constitution ex-
listed in Ireland.
Before all things, it was absolutely neces-
sary that the clubs should be put down, and
lie was, therefore, happy TO hear that the ex-
istence of those sedtious bodies would re-
ceve the attention Of Government,

5000 persons, was suppressed by the po-

Tie News from Ireland

Is contradictory and uncertain in IFS character
Last week published news of great battle, pur-
porting 10 come by private letter The Britannia,
a later arrival says nothing about any such battle,
and tells us that Smith Brien the leader has been
arrested and all prospects Of insurrection quel
ell. As an offset TO this last intelligence, we are
told that the English have suppressed all the patri
OF journals, and taken possession 0 every avenue
by which Information can be communicated; that
they exercise the greatest caution TO prevent the
real state OF affairs in Ireland, from being made
public, and they manufacture aud set afoat such
statements as will best subser,e their own purpo-
SEES For ourself we have very strong doubts that
any battle of the magnitude stated has been fought;
and have still stronger doubts that the in'eli-
gence by the last arrival. is true But we shall be
compelled TO wait for some further news before
even probable conjecture can be made

Michigan Coming.

We have before us the Democrat published
at Ann Arbor Mich, at the head of which floats
the names of Van Buren, and Adams. CHANGING at
its colum We find no less than fifteen letters from
the most confront of the success in that
state of the Buffalo nominees. Why should such
not be the case. We are aware that state pride in
her nominee, is expected to carry Michigan beyond
peradventure for Cass, but not aware that
Connecticut ever felt peculiarly proud in having a
Benedict Arnold, and we apprehend that Michigan
will feel very similarly towards the great berayer
of northern rights and interests.
