IRELAND.

There has been a conflict between the
Irish people and the British troops, but the
accounts are SO contradictory, that it is i'm
possible TO come TO any correct conclusion
as to the result. One account says the
Irish fled on the first approach of the troops,
and the other that they maintained their
ground while the British met with heavy
losses. We hope the latter report is true,
but fear it will not turn out so. The Bri
fish have fifty thousand regular troops in
Ireland, well armed and Thoroughly discip-
lined. The Irish are poorly armed and
under no discipline. @

addressed the people of Boon county on
Monday last. Mr.. Mckinney spoke first,
and proved the nconstitutionaity of the
old United States Bank, as clear as mud!--
He spoke some two hours, during which
both wings and locos listened with respect
full attention. As soon as Mr.. Leonard
commenced, however, the locos commenced
scampering, and by the time he had fairly
gotten under way, there was but one solia-
ny member of that party in the house,
The wings were much pleased with Mr..

Hon. BEDFORD BRowN.-We learn from
the DanriHe (Va.) Register, that the Hon.
Bedford Brown, formerly of this place,
but now resident of Albemarle, Va.,)
has renowned Gen. Cass. The Register
does not state whether he is for Gen. Tay.
lor Or not, but viewing the position of his
old friend, Van Buren,, and knowing his
predictions for southern rights, we doubt
not he is a firm supporter of Old Zack.-
There is no Stale, perhaps, in the Union,
where so many democrats are coming out
for The old hero, as in Virginia, and we do
not entertain doubt that he will get the
vote of that State. r.'s

LOCoFOCO HONESTY.

It's Amusing to hear The locos expressing
fears that Gen. Taylor will deceive the
Wbiss. Recollect Tyler. cries the great
Union at Washington. and all the little
Unions and pn.fea,her politicians in the
country, take up the note, and warn the
Wings in very disinterested manner.
, Their broad and much boosted Platform
does not afford sufficient room for them TO
stand on, nor can they find enough that IS
commendable to the public palate in their
leaders, to occupy their time, they being
like certain commodity, of which 1t IS
very truly said, the more you trouble 1t the
greater annoyance is-and hence they
devote their whole efforts TO the abuse OF
Gen. Taylor. They warn us of Tyler
Surely Tyler deceived us. but were they
not the recipients of Tyler's treachery?--
They got his patronage, and every one
knows in these degenerate days, that is all
they seek. If Taylor should prove Ty-
ler then, while the Wings lose they certain
ly will be the gamers; and TO an honest
mind, hearing the talk, the conclusion would
be that they were very indiscreet-for, the
honest man would reason, if the Wings are
running man who will prove TO be loco
when he is elected, surely the locos ought
not to labor so hard to convince them they
are striving to elect man who will not
carry out their principles. Does not this
look very plain! Certainly. Why do the
locos trouble themselvesl Because they
know that Genera! Taylor will be elected,
unless by slanderng and abusing him, they
can create the impression that he is not
trust worthy; and because they know.
when elected, he will have no sympathy
for as slanderous, corrupt and flying set
of scoundrels as they are. This is the rea-
son those who manufacture locofoco sen,i-
ment, dare raise their voices against man
whose whole course of life, when compared
with theirs, produce such a contrast that it
even makes them obnoxious in their own
sight, and they would either ride over or
pull down every man TO their own degra-
ded level. 1t is matter of life and death
with them. They have to bring others TO
their level or stand alone. ...,-
In assuming the position he has, General
Taylor did not expect the support of cor
rupt party hacks-he looked to the honest
masses, and he will not look in vain. o.
