ARRIVAL OF Mr. THOMAS FRANCIS MEAGHBR--
Yesterday morning, Mr.. Thomas Francis Meagher
arrived in this city from the West and put up at the
Metropolitan Hotel He has been most successful in
his tour, and realized very large sum of money.
He was everywhere treated with respect and honored
by all, except portion of his own fellow-country-
men, who do not appreciate our institutions, but on
the contrary, av0w that they would prefer Catholic
Emperor to a Protestant President Of the United
States and absolute despotism to the principles Of
republicanism. One of their journals recently de-
clared that what this country wanted was the strong
government OF an autOcrat or dictator; and, in re.
cent lecture another representative of this utramon
tame party expressed hope that the day was not
distant when the Protestant clergy would be turned
out of their churches. and those places OF worship
given to the Catholic priesthood. II can no longer he
concealed that war is declared against Meagher.
Irish Catholic journals in Boston, in this city in the
West, and in the South, have assai!ed him for the
liberaty Of his opinions: and there is murmuring
under current that does not find its way into the pa
pers, but Is setting in strongly against him. This
however is not the feeling of the large majority of
the Irish race i'll America. Twas in alluson to This
in his speech at Cincinnati which was published in
HERALD, that Mr.. Mcagber spoke Of tle
pleludees and super5titons which exist elsewhere
