TRYING TO HEAD OFF A LAWYER.
Editors sometimes meet with good
thing; such, for instance, as the following
A delinquent subscriber, in Fall River,

leaders of locofoco party profess great res
pect and sympathy for the lrlsh-espc-

want their votes to help them into office.
So long as Irishmen will vote and hurrah
for Democrats all is right, and they sre
clever fellows; but let one of them, in the
exercise of his sound judgment, come out
for Wing men and measures, and he is not
only denounced, abused and vilified, but
| ten to one, If he persists in speaking his
mind, is threatened with brute force and
mob resistance. In illustration Of this, we
need only mention an incident that accur-
red at Cambridge city the other day. A
talented young Irishman, by the name OF
Patrick Gsrraty at work on the
Central Rairoad-at the solicitation OF
some of his countrymen and others, con-
sen,ed to address Whig meeting one
night last week in Cambridge, but during
the afternoon he received threatening
letter, warning him not TO undertake such
a thing under penalty Of having 'brick-
bat bounced off his headi' Such thing
as an Irish Whig speech would not be toll
Grated at all, and ifhe spoke he must do it
al his peril! A fine state Of affairs this, tru-
Ily. What did Irishmen leave the screen

America for, but to enjoy the Liberty 10

Locofoco leaders, and Of their true sentl.
ments and designs respecting foreigners.
