LINCOLN CLARK,
Of Dubuque Co.
who are the Friends Of Ire land
Gen. Taylor it is well known frs, re-
ceived nomination for the Presidency
from the Native americans Of Philadel.
phia and New York, and the Journals de.
voted to The interests Of the miserable
remnant Of that party, have been the
warm advocates Of his election, and bold.
" assert that his success would be hailed
as Nasiue american Triumph. The
The most enthusiastic Of those wild in.
cendiaries who, burned the churches in
Philadelphia, are the loudest in their
shoutings, for tine no principled leader Of
the Wing forces.
The New York Herald, relates cir.
cumstance which moro than anything
else, goes TO show the feeling Of the Tay-
lor party upon the subject Of Irish Eman-
ciPation. aaH%2a ~@= "'. p
"A recent number. Of that Journal in
anlarticle upon the subject Of the Presi-
! dency says; "not a single newspaper
10 this city, favorable to General Taylor,
but has taken BOLDLY and OPENLY
THE SIDE OF THE BRITISH GOV
EMINENT. AGAINST IRISH FREE
DOM" and yet these same sheets, have
the presumption to turn around and ask
our Irish citizens to lend their assistance
in placing their candidate in Office.
Is there an Irishman in the land, that
will not spurn with indignant contempt
the approaches Of these sycophants, who
upon the eve Of an election can supplicate
their aid. and in return visit them with
the vilest imprecations?
Let the noble sons Of Erin, awake
to their true position, and show ~ to
these allies Of natiucisns that they are no,
to be duped.-Let them show that their
love Of liberty is real, and has its seat in
the heart; that it is not to be smo,hered
and kept concealed, TO crafty the corrupt
desire. Of Federal whiggery, or to gain
their hypocritical praises.--Let their
votes on the 7th Of the coming month tell
their devotion to their cherished princi-
pies, and their invincibili.y in The hour
ofconfic:. To our adopted citizens, the
honor d due Of having achieved tho vic
tory for Iowa in the last election, and to
them our State and country are looking,
to sustain her in the proud position she
now occupies, in the ranks Of Democratic
States. We know, the confidence repos-
sdin them by the Democracy Of the State
will not be abused. The most importan,
act in the whole lie Of a citizen Irishman
was his leaving the land Of oppression
borne down to dust BY aristocratic mis-
rule, and finding home in this land o.
o. Freedom and Democracy:-Will he
now turn traitor to the institutions which
promise 70 perpetuate the liberties he nov
enjoys, loose his grasp upon that freedom
and independence, he has 30 anxiousl,
sought and 90 happily found, and lend hi
assistance 70 the building up Of system
ofgovernment, whose principles are iden
tilted with those which have proved tn,
ruin and the curse Of his own sweet Isl
and homo. ia
