DIseRAcEFuL MALIeMTY.-The States
man, says the Ohio State Journal, has had the
bad taste, to say nothing else, to brand all
the Irish who win vote Tor their old and
true friend, Gen. Scott, as "Irish Tories .
This is the kindof freedom the editor of that
sheet would allow if he had the power. So
long as our foreign population follow his
dictation and vote for free trade and the
best interests of the British nabobs, ard their
friends and allies the Locofocos, it is all
very well, and the foreigners are remark
ably intelligent, clever set of fellows! But,
the moment they discover that these base
aemagogues are merely using them for the
benefit OF the British manufacturers and
capitalists, and are determinedto look after
their own best interests and those of their
adoptedcountry, this Medury, the pampered
lordling Of the clique of advocates of British
interests, presumes to pass Judgment upon
them and denounce them as Irish Tories!
There never was baser falsehood. The
Tories are those who uphold and sustain The
British an their graspingpolicy. They wish
to oretain the ascendancy in trade and COM
merce, and our Locorocos are trying with oil
their might to aid them. They wish and ar
dently desire the election Of Pierce, because,
as the London Tim > says, hiseleetion will
do far more than that of Gen. Scott to adj
vance and sustain British commerce and
manufactuEers-tha is,we Americans, un-
der Pierce, will continue to buy our clothes
and iron and all kinds Of manufactures Of the
British, instead of attempting to make them
4, at home. Tho Times, the organ oC British
capital, declares that the Irishmen driven
from Ireland to America under the Iocofocc
system, become much better and more prof
liable persons to the British than they were
while in Ireland, because here they get bet.
ter wages, buy Ear more British goods, and
what is far better, they generally become
Locofocos, and thus vote to keep up and per-
petuate the system of Free trade, which is
so profitable to the British trader. The pros
perity which England thus enjoys at our ex-
pense makes her strong and independent
She can afford to oppress Ireland and drive
oF tleIrish to This country. The London
Times sees all this, and boasts that this
seeming evilin Ireland is really great goo(
to Epgland, as the Irish, driven off, CONF
over here, and byvoting with the Locofoco
they do just what they want them to do
keep down the Wing party and keep il
power the Free Trade, British party in thi
country. This is the philosophy of tn
Times and the British party, both here an'
in England. The Irish are beginning t.
understand this game. They begin to SEE
tltatthey have been duped, deceived, led by
the ears, to help along party and policy
that are deadly hostile to the best interests
Of America, and playing into the hands o
the English nabobs, whom they hate and de
spse. They now see WHO they have beer
helping, and for what purpose they have
been used by the Locofocos. If there is any
class OF men in the land that OUGHT to bt
decided Wings, it is the Irishmen, who hav,
been driven from home by English cupidit,
and seliishncss, and have found q shelter i
this Republic. They have felt the gallin
chains OF English servitude. They kno,
the grasping, greedy character',of the Englis
landlords, who by their expressions have lii
'terally forced them from their dear nativ
land. They have every motive--patriotisn
love of the country of their adoption, hatro
oftheir opprcssors, &c.-to stimulate ther
in course of policy that should thwart tn
deep laid plans the English Spectator j
the woes md n,iscrics of Ireland.
We repeat: many of them begin to Sc
that they have been duped and deceived
that they have been helping their worst en-
emy, and they are determined to do it no Ion
ger, They have abandoned the Locofoc
party. They have declared that they heni
tily approve the American sentiments an
doctrines OF General Scott, and they wi
support him from this day onward. The
will stand by him MS he stood by them whe
his friendship was worth something.
Because these lrishmen have come
this conclusion, and avow their determin a
ton no longer to labor to build up Britisl
interests, the editor Of the Ohio Statesman
with brnzen assurance that long practic
has made easy, has the disgraceful mHligni
,y to charge them with being Irish Torie'
II the editor ofthat British Tory sheet doc
not live to regret the use of such languagelt
such men, then he must die Uery soon or w
are greatly deceived. Tho signs of the time
are not to be mistaken. Irishmen are not
he deceived, longer, by the humbug protens
and falsehoods Of Locofocoism. IRISH To
RIEs! Remember the infamous libel, A
fHE HALLor-Box.
