The Irish i'm sssprsca.

John Mitchell, In the Citizen Of last week
addresses another letter to Archbishop
Hughes, in which he makes the following
pungent and proper remarks on the inpro-
priety of the Irish keeping up their nation
al distinction in this country:
80 some persons, indeed, it is profitable
to keep the Irish in America, body sola-
ted and distinct-and to perpetuate the
anomaly, absurdity and enormity called the
'Irish Vote" Those persons to whom
this is profitable, are, first, the grog-shop
politicians, who as | am informed, try to
keep together each Of them a clique or
gang of Irish voters, by unmeauing ma
tional nonsense and patriotic palavar-and
SO are in condition to bargain which can
didates for Office. Secondly it is profitable
to yourGrace; you are then furnished with
kind Of Irish organization, with, for the
interest Of "the Church" you can and do
turn into Catholic organization and WELD
the same as a politico-ecclesiastical power
to influence American politics-not Of
course to serve any object Of personal am
bition, Tin a Catholic prelate that is impos-
sible,) but for the advantage Of the Church
of God. Mysterious are the ways of Prov
idence! See how Church of. God may be
benefited by corner grog-shops Thirdly,
it is profitable to the ringleaders of Native
Americanism, who are unable, by pointing
to this partnership between Christ and grog-
shops, rowdyism, rotgut and religion, to a.
larm and irritate decent Americans, make
them hate both Irishmen and Catholics, and
SO give up their POLITICAL consciences and
votes into the keeping of them, the Native
rngleaders, who are, presume, the very
worst men in America, some OF whom are
Englishrnen or Orange Irishmen in the En-
glish interest; and who are at all events
playing the English game here. m
Therefore | would willingly distract and
divide the Irish naiada Of American citi-
zens; | would introduce 'disunion" among
them, making some of them Democrats.
some Wings, some Hards, some Softsso,ns
Silver Grays, and some, if possible, even
Free Sellers, any thing in short, but Know
Nothings and Abolitionists. The "Irish
Strength" -the sIrish vote" I would break
up and abolish utteriy-lnsomuch that
never more should prudent Yankee pipe
layer know where he may lay pipe to
to draw the Irish vote to bis platform, new
er, never more should priest or bishop UNI
dertake lin the interest of the C..-urch of
Cody to lead his sheep with pastoral cro-
zier into the pleasant pasture Of the Hards,
or by the still waters of old Fogyisn. Not
as Irishmen, not as Catholics, but as bono
tide American citizens would have them
90 about their business and exercise their
common franchise. Eyenin death I would
seperate them. If they Coon sleeping to-
gether, four deep in that Calvary Cemcte-
ry, the simultaneous uprising of so many
Irishmen will be enough to arouse a Native
American spirit the last day; and the trump
Of the Resurrection will be signal for the
CRY Of "Wide Awake.

Southern view Of the Nebraska
Act.

The following view is passing round a..
nnong Southern papers with seeming APP
probation. The remedy proposed to salts
fy northern feelings is certainly the same
that is adopted among northern men, name
": towreak our vengence on our own nor
thern demagogues. This southern view
exactly comedies with that of the north,
that this Nebraska business sis the work
IofNebraska demagagues,calle democrats. .
The article first appeared in the Arkansas
Wig, and is as follows:
They all proceed upon false assump-
ton, and ayow objects that cannot be ac-
Icomplished without rending asunder the
bonds of the Union. They proceed upon
the assumption that the course of the slave
holding States has always been aggressive !;
that the Nebraska-Kanzas act repeating
the Missouri Compromise was southern
measure. Both Of these positions are un-
sustained by the truth, particularly the
latter. The repeal of the Missouri Com
promise was not proposed by the south; it
causes no rejoicing among the people Of the
south. Many southern Wing statesmen
and southern Wing journals opposed the
Nebraska-kanzas act because it renewed
the slavery agitation and embodied princi-
pies at war with Nebraska demagogues
called Democrats. A Northern Senator
introduced the act; a Northern Democrat
took charge of it in the House; it was
passed by Northern Democratic votes. and
was approved by Northern Democratic
President, who adopted it as anAdministra-
ton measure. The Northern men and Nor
them influence of the country is indebted
for the measures; and she gets euery ad-
cdntage resulting from It. If the people
of the North are aggrieved, let them wreak
their vengeance on their own demagogues. .

The ANTI-DoUGLAs-NEBRA GROUND
SwELL.-The result in three great States of
Pennsylvania, Ohio, and InJiaaa, is briefly
told. To Congress, Pennsylvania elects II
wings, 5 Anti Nebraska, and Nebraska dem
ocrats. Blgler, for Governor, is defeated by
10000 majority at least
Ohio, out of 81 members of Congress, does
not elect a single Nebraska member. The ma
iarity on the State ticket is nearly $4,000
The Nebraska politicians are astonished at the
strength of the popular feeling. Edison B.
Odds, who was one of the most active Nebras-
ka members of Congress, is defeated by $500
majority--n district which usually gives a
democratic majority.
But in Indiana, the ront is even more extra
ordinary. This was generally conceded to be
a Nebraska State. Her two Senator'S and sew
en- of her members of Congress voted for the
Douglas bill. The result is that the Nebras-
ka party is nearly annihilated. The last re-
ports are that not a single Nebraska member
is reelected from the whole Sta te, and the ma
jority on the Anti Nebraska State, ticket is 49,
600. These knock-down results are lessons
to be remembered in States yet to vote.
The few Douglasites in this State and city are
trying 10 force the same anti-democratic prin-
ciples on the democratic Party. They should
be carefully watched, as they are the bitterest
enemies the true democracy have to contend
with. BY crushing them now, the Douglas
seceders from the Baltimore Platform will be
extinguished, even before the elscticn.-T Mil.

Who have fought for Liberty's laws;
hghtare the crowns that wait their brows-
Crowns that no king of earth may claim:
Veil wreath their crowns from laurel bouehs
P.ucked from the highest mount of fame.
The truth that taught their souls TO soar
Shall guide our hearts to deeds of worth.
TIL peace shall reign the whole world o'er.
And tyrants rue no more on earth,
Till Southern soil no slave shall bear,
Til in every cline th'oppressed go free

Where FER 1t waves o'er land or sea.

Too pure and free for breath Of Slaves;

a Prohibitory Liquor Lar IN Cana
da.-The Montreal Pilot says that a reso-
lutte effort is now being made by the advo-
vocates Of temperance in the Canadian
Provinces, for the enactment of law to
prohibit the sale of intoxicating drinks
The probability is that the effort will be
successful, for when the proposition was
last brought before Parliament it was lost
by single vote, and since then large
number Of candidates have pledged them
selves, that if a sufficient number of peti-
tions are presented to show the uneqaivo-
cal approval Of the people, a majority of
members will vote for the law.

MEMORANDA FOR CAREFUL WRIrERs.-
Always spell Kanzas with a :, and Mime
sofa with double "a. Cincinnati has on
" onet Never spell Santa Ana with
more than one n in the last name. Do
not make mistake apiece in spelling bou-
quet and sobrquet. Recollect that EN-
ploye has but one e at the end, and that
be accented, unless you mean an employed
woman, when it should be spelled with a
double c, the first one accented. Never
call a social party in the evening levee,
for the essence of that word is something
that takes place in the morning, it being
the correlative term to soiree. Never
write depot, when you mean railroad sta
ton. Never say east when you mean
west, nor lecward when You mean wind
ward. The best way to avoid many mae
curacies, is one that has many other adj
vantages, viz: never to use a foreign word
when thare Is a good English one that viii
express your idea; and among English
words those Of Saxon origin are often bet
ter than Latin. Greek, or French Balti-

ggT The New York Express thus hap
PLY hits off the fallacy of the doctrine OF
popular sovereignty as a tangible prin-
ciple =
.sThe Nebraska bill dsowns this nrinci-
pie of popular sovereignty. One General
Pierce, whose home is in New Hampshire,
and who happens just now to live in Wash
ington, makes the executive and judicial
powers, the very greatest of all powers Of
the government, for the popular sovereigns
that live in Nebraska.
'sThis Gen. Pierce makes his governor,
and that governor has the veto power over
the Legislature, so that he can prevent the
passage Of any law unless sustained by a
majority of two-thirds; and being the mere
creature Of the executive; he is not respon-
sible to the people.
"The President appoints and pays the
Judges the Marshals, and DistrietAttorneys,
and they have no vote for President and
Vice President, Senators or Congressman.

CINCINNATI GERMANs.--At the late cleo :
ton in Cincinnati, committee of four hun
dred liberal Germans attended the different
wards and used their countrymen for the whole
Anti Nebraska ticket. This class behaved live
Republicans and patriots, and voted openly and
unitedly against slavery, slavery extention, and
Jesuitism.
The Germans as mass are opposed to the
the Nebraska bill. They hate it not only for
the s.aid and comforts it gives shvery.
but for its obnoxious NATIVE American fea-
ture.

gJ. V. Philips, a practical miner, for
a number of years in the Wisconsin lead
region, in report on the Geology Of that

Magazine, 1854, makes the following re-

and about so miles wide, being two-thirds
in Wisconsin and the other third about
equally divided between Iowa and Illinois.

lead veins. a@ $3.50

rock, is divided into basins into which the
lead veins are deposited. {.

from a few hundred yards, up to several
miles

Iges Of the large ones have only yet been

basins has amounted to thirty millions OF
dollars and this amount, Mr.. P. says, the
most reliable geological evidences prove,
will not exceed one half per cent. of the
aggregate wealth of the field.
