TRUTH.

We published q brief paragraph some
time since with the caption of singular
fact, +" stating that whiic tho subscription
in New York in aid of the Hungarian re-
fugees had nearly reached 81, 900, pro-
position to raise funds for the relief of the
disabled Mexican volunteers had entirely
failed, We say charity and bencvolcnce
should begin at home; money is lbcrally
subscribed to foreign patriots money is
lavishly bestowed upon foreign dancers
Our public lands will possibly be given
to recentimmigrant patriots and anything,
dancer, singer, soldier or author, who
may come here with foreign reputation,
is idolzed and bcspattered with popular
adulation and iavors to such an extent
that the recipients themselves become dis
gusted, and return home to send back to
the model republic their sneers and their
ridicule Mt our folly.
The New York Tribune, in noticing
the singular fact" above alluded TO, has
the following just rcmm ks Caroliaiem
"This is not by any manner of means
SO singular" as it purports to be The
same sort Of propensity runs through a
hundred other differen. things. For cx-
