nauseas for any white to under ake-a good speci
men Of that de5ased and prosttuted class known IN Ire
land as INFoRMERs-wretches who point the hunted
victims of oppression to the law and the scafOld-who
betray the leaders of popular movements-and immor-
alize themselves in the unextnguishabe hate and un-
diving remembrance Of the Irish people. Doubtless
this miscrean Robinson, such an hirelng before
he left his country for his eountry's good TO show
why there good for this suspicion his vocation
here may be appropriately referred His occupation
is simply to caumnate the Democratic party, and TO
show that il is hostile 10 the adopted citizens! The
Of impudence, Of falsehood, OF recklessness
and of downright rascaty, which such task requires
NAV be conceived but il be estimated knave
like this is bound forget the UNMARRIED and unbroken
eomnittals of the Wing party 10 the worst prescription
of the adopted ctzenand not only to forget this fact
but deny the force of history and to insist that the
whole is shameless fabrication. He is bound to forget
and to fasily the notorious devotion, from the begin
ning of the Democratic party TO the cause oil the
adopted citizen He is bound 10 show, no matter at
what cost of conscience Of sefrepect that the Ma
tive American party is used to help the Democrats and
the Wings and all, he IS bound to prove
that the Navest leaders constantly affiliated with
the Democrats instead Of the Wings. Thus he will
tell you, and if need be, to 1t, that L. e. Levin
W. S. Archer, George Folsom, Gen. Dearborn, John
W. Ashmead: Henry d. Moore, &c., &C., the prime
of Natvesm, its organs Its controllers and Its
oTaces, all Democrats-all against Scotland all
for Perce-when the whole country knows that they
have nearly all been elevated to office by Native and
Wing votes and that they in the forefront OF
the supporters Of Winfield Scott! Do you think he will
sickle at hisl No; bad black and utterly shameless
the task is he will do it with pleasure, and with
little compuncton the hired assassin will plunge his
dagger into the stranger at midnight He is the very
ackaI Of the press and delights in nothing that is
disgracelu and infamous. Assure him OF that and he
witnessed in this country, or in any country, even
among the most ignorant and mercenary.
The last Job assigned this Robinson by the Wing
LEADERSHIP Seward Greedy, and Weed fanatics OF
New York-was to send him to Concord, where Gen.
Pierce resides, to collect data to show that Gen.
Pierce was opposed to Catholics having the right to
hold Office in that State and that he tuas really IN arOr
of the religious test! These data have been collected
and exhibited before Wing meeting in New York, and
are now printed in the New York Tribune, the Daily
News here and such other Wing papers as have the
from the publication Of such mass OF reeking false
hoods and malignant misrepresentation. And yet will
it be credited that the who undertakes this work
who seeks stir up the Ill blood OF religious antagon'
ism-who tries excite particular sect-and that
Catholics-aganst the Democratic Party-is him
self no Catholic, but cold blooded and prOserptire
OrGngeman. To prove this, copy from the New
York Evening Post Of Monday evening:
We will say a word or so oil the author. his
ROBINSON we well assured, belongs to Protestant
family in ireland, from whence he emgrated lew
years ago. He was there known, we believe, as an
Orangeman. The first occasion which brought his name
before the American public the adoption OF re-
solution of the House Of Representatives, expelng him
from the reporters gallery, Tor gross impertnence de

that time.
''He then came or to New York and tried to for
Congress- the strength Of his being an lrshman, In
the fourth congressional district where he very
badly beaten OF course. Since then he has been hang
ing about the office Of the Tribune, holding Office
meantime in the Custom House of this city-Projectng
ability he has, feeling of jealousy and hostility be-
native and adopted citizens OF Irish descent
In urher1nce Of this end he is constantly the watch

marvellousy proper this for the duty assigned
to him. fitting tool this for monarchy in Ireland to
hiss on the hounds Of the English Government upon
every patriot bold and brave enough proclaim his
timents. Castereigh would have rejoiced In such
wretch to do his corrupt bddng and if there had been
many such at the time the Union between England and
Ireland projected the British treasury would not
have suffered much to carry it through; for these
ready Iascas always work cheap And now for the at
tack Of Robinson upon General Pierce.
In the whole extent Of his quotations from the pro-
ceedings Of the Reform Convention of New Hampshire,
though he has perverted and suppressed many Of the
most important portions OF the record, Robinson does
not prove that General Pierce, who was member Of
that body any single occasion voted in favor of
tanning the religious test in the Constitution OF New
Hampshire. Bot how does he hope to influence the
Irish vote! BY holding Franklin Pierce responsible for
the acts OF his father By denouncng him because he
did not make fifty speeches against the test though his
vote is steadily recorded in opposition to IL This is The
whole sum and substance OF his argument; and II is
upon such grounds these that Irishmen called
upon by Robinson TO vote against the Democratic candl
date for the Presidency And in whose favor does he
invoke them to decidel In favor Of Winfield Scott who
was a leading Native American for ten years, and only
finally moderated his opposition to them because the
