Of truth and slncerity, the two will be found
as Incompatible as the latter is with the For

are in truth as glaring evidences Of degraded

John Mite hcl and his NIisslOn-Icng land nnd
America.
Various agitators and exiles from Europe
have come here in recent years. and have kicked
up a great deal of fuss and noise. Kossuth, the
Hungarian; Kipkel the German, and others,
have INDUCED in empty defamation, pomp'
aud pageantry, and have been collecting money
and making contracts for Cincinnati saddles
and rusty mnskets, but have never done any
thing. The American people have q strong
sympathy with republican patriots from other
lands but they want to see something practical.
T., @ha hon
visionary Mitchell is man of an entirely diff
ferent stamp from those e have mentioned
He is a man of action, and he is eminently prac-
teal. He has proved his sincerity and courage
by bis Offering himself sacrifice for the cause
of his native land He has sagacity enough to
estimate all the spouting and shouting, and va
nity and claptrap and froth of o certain class OF
Irish petty leaders here at their true value. lie
has good reason to know something OF the same
set at home. They organized and talked big,
and marched and countermarched, but never
did any thing. Here they are ten times worse,
if possible A considerable number Of the I'M
educated and bigoted class of Irish are divided
into societies and cliques, most of them led by
selfish politicians and demagogues, who use
them for their own purposes, at elections and on
other occasions. They parade on ST. Patrlck's
Day OF the Fourth of July, with bands and ban
ners and sashes, and are sure to get drunk and
have row among themselves or with the
citizens or police, and then the whole Irish
name is disgraced by their conduct, while at
the same time they evoke spirit of hostility
on the part of nativists," and many citl-
zens who never belonged to that party.
Instead of amalgamating with the Ameri-
can people as good citizens. they keep
up separate and sectarian organizations, that
are most injurious to themselves and to all their
fellow countrymen. Some good but mistaken
men no doubt belong to these societies; but
they are not in their right place Upon such
organizations Mitchell cannot depend, except SO
far as true men come ont from among them.
There is q different class of Irishmen from
these-quiet sensible men, who say little and
make little show, but who are ready to do and
dare much, if they only saw fitting opportu-
nifty for striking a blow fer the land Of their
fathers. Among those arc to be found the edu-
Gated who have learned to think aud act for
themselves. Upon this class John Mitchell will
exert potent influence. lie will enrol them
all under single banner. He will enlist more
Americans too in his cause than any foreigner
who has hitherto set foot upon our shores. Here
be can write and speak what he pleases for the ac
complishment Of the grand idea Of his life, with
ont any danger OF his paper or himself being
crushed by any government His genius will
have free scope, and he will produce very
powerful organ Of opinion. Not only will he be
supported by all the Irish who are not slaves,
but by the English and German democracy, and
by all Americans who desire to carry the
war into Africa"
Indeed, it is high time that the people of this
republic should attend to the interference Of the
British government and their agents in our do
nestle institutions. For twenty years the
British aristocracy-who are. de .facto the
British government been turning their
attention to the problem of this country.
The result of the war of 1872 to 1914
had settled forever the question Of English
inyasions of the United States, and different
policy was now therefore necessary. Their
press continued to ridicule the country and to
make it Odous in the eyes of the civilized world.
1t misrepresented Mississippi reputation as
a Reputation by the whole people ofthe United
States. But notwithstanding this, the country
progressed and extended her commerce over
every sea- Something more was necessary to
be done something in the way Of diplomacy, to
create internal division, according to the old
maxim of the oligarcby, "dvide and conquer
amaxim which they have successfully practsed
in the case Of India and Ireland. They went
to work and sent over here secret embassies to
spy out the land-men Of their own order, who
they knew would be true to them. Lord
Mcrpeth, Lord Stanley and other emissaries,
described the country in such way as was
calculated to injure its reputation in England
and arrest the progress Of democracy there,
