~ The News FROM IRELAND by the Acadia,
selesraphed from Boston yesterday, will naturally
attract the most anxious attention. We regard 1t
rs favorable to the hopes OF the Patriots, to whom
every hours postponement Of the inevitable COLI
sios IL q signal advantage. They had not design
ed nor wished to interpose any physical resist
ance to the despotism which brushes and starves
their country until after the harvest shall have been
secured--say. the middle of September or first Of
October II is the policy of the British Govern
ment to precipitate the crisis and crush the Patri
OTIS before they can perfect their preparations
Hence the prosecution and exile of Mitchell quick
" followed by the arrest of MeagAer, Gsvsn Duffy
and Devin Reilly hence the suspension OF the
Habess Corpus act, the proclamation OF several
Counties, the suppression OF Patriot journals, the
attempted suppression OF the Clubs, &c. &c. Yet
up to the date Of the last advees, no new arrest
was announced, though large rewards had been
offered and il does not appear that the demand
OF the Lord Lieutenant for surrender OF arms by
the People of several Counties had been at all COM
pied with.
Ii must be borne in mind that all our news thus
Tar reaches us through the telegraph, and is in fact
SrsitAs Lirerpod Times, and other British anti
Irish journals From the Patriots we have as yet
no word and indeed, we fear the seizure OF the
Office of TAe Nation will deprive us OF our last re-

SlRAIGROUTS.-We publish to-day the
reasons submitted 10y a few of the true dem
ocrdts of our city for no longer supporting
measures of the party in power, and Tor sup
porting Gen. Taylor. The signers oil tins
document have been brought to the conclu-
sions they have reached, by their own unoi-
assed reflections, and have acted from their
own consciousness OF duty to their country,
as to the requirements oil party
In so doing they have acted nobIy. 1t is true
that violent, bitter and interested partizans
will gather around them and denounce them
with all the slang that party venom can SPIT
o1t, tha, they win be saluted with all sorts OF
ribald names, but how proud will be their
reflection that they are independent aud have
acted as men who are willing to sacrifice all
this for the good OF the country that gave
them birth OF fosters and protects them
To stand upon the battlefield where the
death dealing balls ny thick and fast, to scale
the mountain peak when the lightnings are
darling through the sky and the thunders
shake the earth, topping down the crags, or
TO stand upon the vessels shroud high over
The maddenned waves dashed into foam blythe
careering tempest, require no greater exercise
OF moral courage, than does independent ac-
lion like this on the rart of men who have
acted with the now dominant party, sur
rounded as they are by the myrmydons OF
mower who spare no effort to enslave the
mind TO party, and crush every effort at free
dom Of the will and the discharge of duty.
We feel it a duty we owe to all who are
conscious OF the wrongs committed by the
present executive, and who feel that the cleo
uon OF Gen. Cass will elevate
a pure proud and naughty aristocrat to the
higLcst office in the world,
Nil ensure the defeat OF all national mea-
sores iar the welfare OF the people,
The suppression Of liberty,
The umpoyelishmeut OF the people,
The eudausesiug Of our Institutions by the
lust o. conquest,
And the corruption Of our public men by
psfiizan rewards,
We say, we feel tia duty, anxious as we
are 10 see he trammels and power OF partl-
cans broken by the election of Gen. Taylor,
10 aamonish all who would refuse longer 10

by official spies-that all the officers OF the

Ono Co. VA. Aug. 9th, lSlS.
Dir. Editor; The undersigned, citizens Of
Ohio Co. and State Of Virginia, being qnalif-
ed voters, having heretofore acted with the
Democratic party, beg leave to offer some rea-
sons why we can no longer support or vote
with said party. 1t may be sold that the la
boring man has 10 right to speak or think for
himself, as he is not schooledin the party poll
itics oil the day, We grant that we are not
&c for advanced as to comprehend what the
mlsnamed democrats mean, when oil of the
leading men, or most of them, will stoop to
the most abusive misrepresentation OF the
brilliant virtues Of a man, for the purpose Ct
keeping in office, or for the elevation of some
friend OF relative. or to secure the patronage
Of the chief Executive. Be this as it may,
we wish it to be understood that we are la
boring men. aud expect 40 honor, only the
honor OF assisting to place one in the Presi-
dential chair, Who'll is not onlg capable, but one
who is honest, and has not been schooled in
party politics, one who if elected, viii admin
lister the government in all its Offices as d
faithful man,
Another reason why we cannot longer sup
port the loco loco party is, that we believe
that they have not Inc good Of the country al
heart, but go for Party right or wrong, moi
as it was in the days OF Jefferson or jackson
our County right or wrong.
Another reason is, that we have been look
Ing al the encroachments OF the party, and as
far as we can judge, after d full investigation
Of the subject, we believe that the present
self-styled democratic party will eventually
resolve itself into the one man power; when
this government will loose its balance wheel,
and that pariizans will be elevated TO reward
friends who have done most to elevate the
successful, and to punish all enemies who
have dared to oppose their will, we think
that it is time that ultra partyism should be
put down, whether it be Que party or another
party, in this Tree government.
And now we call on all who hold the same
views as ourselves TO come to the rescue
whether locofoco, democrat or wing. and as,
sist ia eleyating TO the Presidential clair one
who has ''no friends to reward, or enemies Il
punish" one who stands pledged TO admins
ter the government for the benefit OF all, an,
no doubt will bring it back 10 those DAYS o
Washington and Jefferson, one whose life j
without reproach, one who has been success
ful i'll the battlefield, and never brought dis
grace on American arms, and will b
true and faithful to his country aud that man
isZschary Taylor.

My views were not known to the Convention
at the time of the nomination, and it is pos
slble the nomination was adopted from the
belief that, III common with many others, |
