0. A. BROWNSON AGAINST THE IRISH.

From Browuson's Quarterly Review for July
ART uI.-A FEW WORDS ON NATIVE AMERI-
CANISM. New.Orleans 1854.
The subject of Native Amercanism is one OF no
little interest at the present moment and one how
ever delicate may be, which as the conductor OF
Catholic Review, cannot very well avoid discus
sing even if we would. 1t is forced upon us by the
movements of our own cOuntrymen, no less than by
the movements of our reign-born population, no
small part of whom are Catholics.
The tract before US, written by Mr.. Dclery of
New Orleans, Frenchmsn, at least of French de-
scent, presume from his name, Is OF very small
dimensions, but it is we'll written and the only thing we
have read on the subject which touches the real question
q. ISSUE and discusses in calm and phosophic spirit
without party zeal or sectaran bitterness 1t is brief but
full Of matter and without absolutely indorsng It, we
take the liberty Of laying ii entire before our readers,
with the exception merely of the Advertisement. We
think ,hey will find il well worth reading and fitting n-
PRODUCTION remarks of our own on the same sub
ect and which though free, we trust will be taken in
good part
