Mrs. Stowe in Cork.

Skull and Skibberccn, Blarncy lane and
Blaekpool have invited the female Barumn,, the
princess of huinbuss. to 'that beautiful city
called Cork" to an abolition ovation.
Uncle Toms Cabin! Father Pats Hut!
Uncle Tom well fed, well clothed, well housed,
well doctored, and, in many instances, well
\ educated.
Father Pat dying In a ditch after being
thrown out OF his birth spot-ragipg in a spot
ted fevcr-without n drop of water to cool his
burning t~onguc-without food, raimcnt, or
medicine-withou sympathy or aid-savc
from his pennilcss pecrs-rot,ing, %rotting, rot
ting away out OF existcncc!
Uncle Tom decently coiincd and Inferred.
Father Pat thrown, like n piece of c~arrion,
into the rcd earth, n siriyclcd remnant of skin
hanging about his bones, without a shroud, a
ing after and tearing him from the earth at
night, and holding Il carnival over his putrid
body!
Aye, inhabitants of Cork city, your white
brothers lying upon your waysides, the steps
of your hall doors, in your streets, covered
with vcrmin, fever maniacs, with partchcd lips
and canccrous stomachs, how dare you inter
tcrc with American NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
iostcred, fed and supported by the cotton, rice
and tobacco lords-seltish and knavish hypo-
critics that they arc-of England.
Aye, take Mrs. Barnum Stowe to Skibberccn
and Skull. Show her the spot where the bones
of your kindred lie blcaching-womcn and
men h~onester, better and purcr than you
where tho Is mere Irish" have melted into the
earth, shaving been told, (according to the
eminent and philanthropic E%verctt,) in the
i~rightful language of political economy that Mt
the daily table which nature spreads for the
human family there is no cover laid for them
In Ireland" and that "thcy have crossed the
ocean to find occupation, shelter and bread on
q foreign soil!"
Aye, take Uncle Toms historian to Father
Pats giaye-that spot of red damnation-rc
mind her of the blood-hood banquet, the Tester
ing corpse, the howls of the ADMINISTRATION
the blasphcmous rawlings of the insane-and
ask her should you intermcddlc for the black,
while you have white slaves by the millions,
whose condition you have done nothing-you
do nothing-to alleviate!
Father Pat starycs in n hut not nt for an
aristocratic hog give him a human dwelling.
Poor Father Pat il without food; give him
TO eat from "thc daily table which nature
spreads"
Father Pat IL ignorant, u~ncnlightened cdu-
cate him, and you will be blessed of God.
DO this-perform these dutics-contribute
to free your own white slave Called, by n
mockcry, u dclusion and snare, a free MANI
and then you may fetc Mrs. Stowe, Lucy Stone,
or Abby Folsom, and sympathizc with Amcri-
can bondsmcn, whom you propagate by pur.
chasing that cotton which they, and they only,
can producc.-Irish 1mericdn.
