newing his subscription, furnishes little gos-

ers--Ed. Era.
NORTH MADISON, a. Jan. IL, 1854.
Mr.. Hoyte was the first man that intro
duced me TO the Era and right glad was as
it is just the kind of q paper | wanted.
like your London correspondent, as he wishes
to conciiate and create good feeling between
this country and England ! think | made
something from reading his letters ! had q
good crop Of wheat and, as he said the Eng
lish and French wheat haryests were deficient,
held on till got dollar for mine.
Mr.. Greeley gave us fine address at the
State Agricultural Fair, and Senator Brights
paper, and some other Hunker Democratic pa
pers abused and misrepresented him for his
pains To show my respect for him, have
Joined club in Madison, who get the semi
weekly Tribtiae ut 49, and have dropped the
Madison Banner, that is afraid to say word
against Slavery, and the Cincinnati Central
Herald, one of those religious papers that do
great deal Of harm, by preventing people
from subscribing to papers like the Era, that
do so much good. take the Free Democrat,
and support the Madison Courier, because Mr..
Bright attempted to put it down, for its Free
Soilism.
You have eleven readers in my family, three
sons, three grandsons three daughters, and
the old couple. AS give them plenty Of Free
Soil papers, have no doubt that they will all
vote right, when an opportunity offers But
am sorry to say that do not know single
Irishman out Of my own family that takes o
Free Soil newspaper, or that voted for Hale and
Julian. The Catholics 60 almost in . body
with the Old Democrats Some Of the Orange
men vote the Wing ticket because the Catholics
vote the Democratic They hate each other
for the love Of God! IL seems to me strange,
as all the leaders in Ireland were Abolitionists
I have list Of toasts that were drank in Bel
fast, on ST. Patrick's day, 1877 the second
toast is as follows:
aCivil Liberty and Political independence to
the People of every cline and Of every color"
And O'Connell was 90 much opposed to ne
gro Slavery, that he returned some money that
was sent to him from shareholders, and he al
ways headed his addresses from the words of
Byron: Hereditary bondsmen, know you not
who would be free, themselves must strike the
bow!o And the Catholic Bishop DR.. Doyle
when writing against the 1.-THE system, always
headed his letters with the words, "Irishmen
may your hatred of tithes be as lasting as
your love Of justice"
1t appears to me that their love of Justice
does not last long after they cross the Atlantic
DR.. M, tho leader of the Unitarian party in
Belfast, was a strong Abolitionist. Before Mr.
Folks election, wrote to my brother that
had built an addition to my house, and had
hung Dr. Ms portrait in the centre of the
| fire. place, and one Of Washington on his right
hand; and that when Mr.. Polk was elected
President, ] would hang his on the DOCTORS
left. He told my brother to say to me, that he
did not think Mr. Polk was fit company for
him, as he abhorred stakeholder. Well, the
DOCTORS son came over to New Orleans, and
settled in the commission business, and got
married to rich lady, the owner Of thirty
slaves and my brother wrote me, last summer,
that he and his wife were expected over on q
visit to his father, and that the doctor, who
| abhorred q Shareholder, was getting the house,
greenhouse, and garden gates, painted, walks
gravelled, Westinghouse and everything put
in tip top order, for the reception of the slave
holder and his lady
John Mitchell, the escaped Irish convict is q
son of the late Rev. Mr.. Mitchell, Of Newry,
another Unitarian clergyman. have heard
him preach, and have a volume Of his sermons.
He was mild, good man, an Abolitionist, and
opposed to repeal of tho Union, from interest
and principle, for he had fI00 year, regiuml
donunl, from the British Government besides
his stipends from his congregation. think he
died before his son joined the repealers. Young
Mitchell, as one Of his neighbors tell me, studied
law q while, and then started the United Irish
man, q repeal newspaper, on speculation, and is
paid WELL it is said.
In his address to the Irish confederates in
New York, he says: "After nearly six years OF
miserable slavery in a British penal colony
If he has suffered slavery so long he should
sympathize with the slaves Of the United States,
and he and Meagher start a Free Soil paper,
and redeem the Irish character from the charge
Of selfshness; for the Irish appear to think no
other people on earth deserving sympathy or
liberty but themselves ! should except Mr..
Meagher; he appears to be very liberal
Catholic.
The next we will have on the stage will be
Smith 0'Brien. He is an Episcopalian, and, II
recollect right, sat in Parliament with O'Cun-
nell, and o Council called him an impractcabe
He refused 10 sit on committees, or TO conform
TO the rules Of the House, and was continually
proposing measures that il was impossible to
carry. His attempt to raise a rebellion in Ire
land proves him to be fool
The British Government must have connived
at their escape She may be glad 10 have got
clear Of them and il was certainly great
blessing to Ireland TO have them transported
The country has made rapid progress in indus
trial pursuits since they left, as learn from q
lecture OF Mr.. 0'Hagan, talented young
Catholic barrister, published in the Belfast
Northern Wing, a paper get; and when a
Catholic speaks approvingly, We may believe
him, as tho Catholics are generally grumbling.
