Are there no, Democrats who are also
bittsrly anti Irish, anti. PspaI and Ma
twist In their preJudicesl Did DOT the
snti-irish, anti Pspa!, NatiVist 'oray oil
1851, originate with Democrats In this
very city, Yet here is a pslpable attempt
by Mr.. D. to play upon the rejudices
and jesousles of his Irish hearers-to In
sinuate that the Wings as a BODY hate
the Pope, negroes and lrishmen." This
captain is drsgged Into his speech for that
purpose, and no other.
But we venture to say that the story
bears intrinsic evidence of gross peryer-
sion if not of wifuI untruth. This sea-
c,ptain was one of Natures nobleman'
of course, not natural fool. he had
as passenger MIR. Doheuy, a most uu-
mistskeable lrishman and Catholic, whom
he wished TO Undue with prepossessions
In fhyor Of the Wing party. Is 1t hSely'
then. is is probable, is it conceivable
that, full Of this purpose, he would show
himself fierce Nativist,' and proclaim
his hatred of the Irish and the Pope :
Ia that the way Natures noolemen labor
to make proselytes We Soow nothing
of this captain but what we find in Mr..
Doheny's speech, but that suiilce' to con-
vince US that he is here grossly misrepre-
scented.
Mr.. Doheny read Webster's Speeches.
ard has since read Mr.. Corwin's. and
Henry c. Carey's writings, ard Horace
Greeley's and finds them all utterly de-
(cient in argument. They all use good
words enough, but TO no purposc-that Is,
none that Mr.. d. can apprehend or mp
preciate. So far as they amount TO any
thing, they lead him to conclusions directly
opposite to the authors, especially on the
subject of Protection. This is hard, ospe-
ciallv since some of the ablest writer's On Pc
litical Economy, especially those of France,
Italy and Sweden, have pronounced Mr..
Carey's works the most original and in
srructye that this country has produced.
Even Free Traders, though none Of them
has vet attempted formally to Gnstccr Mr..
Carey, have done him the honorof stealing
nearly the whole Of his earlier works.
They evidently do not deem them b. aoy
means so contemplate as it suits Mr.. Do
heny's purpose to represent them.
Throughout his Speech, Mr.. ID. deals
with all the arguments for Protection rs
pure y selfish, specicus, sopbisTica
attempts Of Monopoly and Avarice to So
cure to themselves enormous and unjust
gains. In so treatiog it, 10 puts out Of sight
the fact that the Protective policy was made
predominant in this country by the power
Of Democracy as against Federalism, of the
Interior as against the Seaboard, of Labor
as against Capital. New England fought
against this policy almost to tho last, and
Boston was the headquarters Of Free
Trade, with Mr. Webster as its oracle
whilst New York under Tompkins, Penn
syvania under Snyder, and Kentucky I'M
der Clay, (wbom nobody hen imagined
anything but a Demscrat,) were fgAting
the battle of Protection. There were no
Manufactures of any account then existing
to hire sophists or deceive and bride Con-
gressmen to plumber the public ia their be-
half, so that Mr. Doheny's theory utterly
fails to account for the original
triumph of Protection 10 this country
through Democratic support, and before
Manufactures had any substantial exis
tence. Our farmers were made to believe
fools that they must have been, accord
ing to Doheny that it was their interest
to impose such Tariff "a would draw
hither artisans and artiicers from Europe,
and would rear up others from among our
own population. They were made to hail
the enac ;ment of such Tariff, not II, i'm
posing burdens on them for the benefit Of
another class, but as actually benefting
them by creating convenient and steady
markets. at all times accessible, in lieu of
the remote and precarious markets of Eu-
rope. All this is cant, hypocrisy and nom
sense in Mr.. DOheny's eyes, and it would
be vain in US to cite Wig arguments
against his foregOne conclusion. He had
long since made up his mind that Wing ar
guments are dishonest, frivolous, sophisti-
cal, contemplate. But he processes great
faith in JEFFERSON and JACKSON, as doc
tors of the true Democratic faith, 50 we
will ask him to consider what they say on
the subject. Here is an extract from JEFF
