Our readers will at see the very great sacrifices
Mr. McGee makes to cultivate harmony among his fell
low. countrymen here We regret that he should have
opened so wide a field for quarrel but Mr. ROBINSON,
We are sure will not reply he has abored increasingly
for harmony and union among lrishmen, and he viii
rather endure unjust attacks than be the cause OF diS
sions among the true friends OF Ireland II Mr. MCGEE
however thinks he can gain support for his paper by
abusing Mr.. ROBINSON. he mistakes his own position
and Mr. Robinsons influence Mr. H. has sacrificed
much for Ireland, and would sacrifice sll before he
would become a irebrand OF strife among her sons.
Mr.. MCGEE seems to ind fault with the manner in
which our columns filled Does he intend 20 be-
come a censor over the American Press We have
several Of our editorials waiting for room, twice
as many days As Mr.. McGees letter and with all re
spect we say that think them of AS much import
ance
Asto Mr. McGEEs declining any connection with MI
Robinson we can state that the only time Mr Robinson
ever called upon him was at Mr. Notices own request
aud no proposition made by either party, then or
before or aiterward The only subject OF importance
talked over was preached by Mr. Niece
The charge Of partissnship comes with bad grace
from Mr. MCGEE, who was very decided partisan him
self When his partissnship stirred up persecution
against him Mr. Robinson, in public and in private de-
Tended him and tried to answer those charges
If Mr.. Robinson has taken side in politics be
still reoices in the warn, personal friendship OF his
brethren of the Press Of both parties.
But no matter Mr. MCGEE will live long enough to
regret this unjust aud ungenerous attack upon one
who has served Ireland TO the best Of his ability and
never did ungenerous act nor said an unkind word
even against Mr.. MCGEE, who now without cause at
tacks him Whatever the dark unmeanng insinuations
about other weighty reasons, &C. may refer to, Mr.
ROBINSON. while he makes reply, depreca,es no
wrath and fears no charges which those who are not
STRAIGHTFORWARD enough to make them directly, twist
into insinustions.
We think Mr.. Robinson did not deserve such attacks
from any friend of Ireland, do we think that !, 10
fair for Mr. McGee represent he does 10 the PEG
pie Of Europe aud Ireland that till he came here there
was no Press and person to take the side Of Ireland
and Liberty against England and oppression.
We have done with the Nation aud its Editor. We
have said so much only to finish the subject at once
We hoped the Nation would be the organ OF our whole
Irish citizens We regret TO 1t used for personal
revenge and for the abuse of those who may not bow
