WAsHISGToE, Thursday, June 3d.
The friends OF Lewis Cass are trying 10 make
II appear that he is the enemy of England, and
the friend of Ireland. AS l do not like TO see
lrishmen deceived wish to make remark on
this subject.
The man who supported Louis Philippe
and abused the clubs of Paris, which have
since upset Louis Philippe and burned the We
ny throne that Lewis Cass praised, could not
be very sincere hater of Victoria, or her throne
which is crushing Ireland in the dust. But no
matter what Gen. Cass hates, let us see what
he loves.
am told that he loved Ireland because he
voted for the Irish relief bill; but know some
thing OF the history of that bill, and ! know
that Gen. Cass betrayed the friends of Ireland
on that measure. The friends of the bill knew
that il it passed the Senate on the morning of
the 9th of February, when it was moved to
take up by MIR. CriItenden, that il would pro-
badly pass the House before il adjourned on
. following Wednesday. MIR. Cass was in his
seat upon this occasion, but did not vote for
the bill, though his name was called three
times in hearing. MIR. Crittendeus motion
failed. The bill did not reach the House till
Monday, and was lost. saw al the time he
was meanly dodging, and asked several gentle
men to notice the fact, that might, il Decessa-
~, substantiate the charge which now make
of his refusing to vote for the Irish relief bill.
lie had made speech the day before in favor
of il; but in the meantime it became known
that MIR. Polk would veto it. (Mr. Cass now
says he approves OF what James X. Polk has
,done as Presidency He sat in his seat and
heard the shrieks of perishing thousands shrin-
king into grPyes of famine in Ireland. He re-
.
though he made barney speech for the bill.
Now his friends call upon the Irish TO vote for
him, as their friend! | have made this state
, ment merely to show he was not their friend
on the Irish reliefquestion.
But have another specimen Of his friend
ship to the Irish TO expose. Some time after
MIR. Polk came into power, he nominated Geo.
NJ. Woodward of Pennsylvania as one Of the
Judges of the Supreme Court of the u. States.
all the friends OF Ireland appealed to the S.n-
ltors 10 reject the nomination.
Public meetings were held in Philadelphia
md elsewhere, at which protests were adopt
I'd, declaring that those Senators who voted
or the Native Judge would be looked upon as
ioes to Irishmen. Some of those appeals were
published at the time in the Tribune. l my
elf sat up several nights, wiring, TO expose
he bigotry and Nativism of Judge Woodward
he vote was of course taken in secret ses
ion, and Lewis Cass voted for him. He tho
might as we'll give the Naturalized citizens
stab in the dark, as he thought they would
ever find il out beneath the seal Of secrecy
let this is the man whom the Locofoco paper
all the friend of the Irish The British Gov
mment, who put Judge LEROY on the Bench
try John Michel, and the Locofocos, wht
oted to put bigoted Native on the Bench o.
ur highest Court, are about equally friendl,
the Irish
| might give other specimens of Gen. Cass'
iendship TO the Irish, but these are enough
show that no lrishman who respects him
If can call Lewis Cass friendly TO his fellow
onntrymen.
