THE IRISH AND THE WAR IN THE EAST
Rumors are afoat, emanating from portion
of the New York Press, that Irishmen in this
country, under the influence Of Russian ennis
sares and officers, are forming military organ
izations to act against England, whenever she
becomes fully involved in war with Russia ;
and that Canada is the quarter against which
they are to direct their arms. Meantime, the
notorious John Mitchell, who has 80 beautifully
displayed his adherence Of English Tyranny,
by advocating Southern Slavery, has issued a
manifesto to his countrymen in America, bitter
ly denouncing the English, and appealing to
them in the most infammatory style to lie in
wait for England, 80 that they may strike
q fatal blow ut her, whenever the occasion may
arise. Let Engands extremity in the coming
struggle with Russian Power be your opportu-
nifty for revenge, is the burden of this bulletin,
the spirit and counsels Of which lend counte-
nance to the dark rumors alluded to.
We doubt whether such appeals will move
the masses Of the Irish population among US.
They have found homes in this country, plenty
Of employment, a wide field for enterprise, and
political privileges not to be enjoyed elsewhere.
John Mitchell and those who, like him, live by
agitation, and nurture in their Dos, ms a burn
ing lust Of revenge, may be willing to ally
themselves with any Power, however Despotic,
so they can succeed in hnmiliating their old
enemy.
The American People will not be rendered
subservient to the vengeance Of such agita-
tors, nor permit their country to become the
seat of dark conspiracy against nation,
which, whatever her mis- government of Ire
land, affords the only refuge in the Old World
to revolutionists and patriot exiles from the
Continent, and now, by the force of circum-
stances, stands forth. as the Champion of the
Weak against the Strong. They know, that
aristocratic and conservative as England If,
and deeply as the coming struggle may con-
cern her own position and interests, the cause
of Revolution in Europe will have less to fear
from her triumph than from the success of a
Power which nnnihiIated Polish nationality
trod out the independence of Hungary, and
has been tho main support Of Legitimacy and
Absolutsm in the Old World And, knowing
this, they will not at the instance Of imported
agitators or slavery propagandists, consent to
any sinister movements in this country, de-
signed to cripple England, or lend aid to
Russia.
ExcrrEMENf IN OswEGo COUNTY, New
YoRK--ln Mexico, Oswcgo county, a Rev. Mr.
De Lafayette was lately placed in charge Of a
q French Swiss U Catholic church. This gen.
tleman is an advocate Of religious liberty, and
has refused to put himself under the control
and jurisdiction Of Bishop McClosky, Of
Albany.
In consequence Of this the Bishop Of Albany
and others have written to the leading mem
bers of the congregation, but only succeeded in
dsafecting few towards him. He has been
insulted and spit upon in the church, and shot
at in proceeding to Pheoix to perform service
there. Failing thus to bring him to subsection,
a warrant was sworn out against him for got
ting money under false pretences, and charg-
ing that he was no Roman Catholic clergyman,
but an impostor. simultaneously with the re-
turn of the writ, Catholic clergyman, residing
at Troy, appeared and called on Mr.. DE La
fayctte gave him the kiss of friendly greeting,
and, as he states, with offers of money and ad-
in the Catholic Church, provided
he would submit himself to Bishop McClosky,
from whom he represented himself an author
lied agent He refused, and the examination
went on for some time when one morning the
Rev prosecutor vamosed, leaving Mr. De La
fayettc with the court. He was promptly dis
charged.

To PosTMAsTERs you return to
publisher newspaper or periodical uncaled
for, always writc the name Of your tfiicc upon
it. Otherwise, publisher whose list is large
will never know where to look upon his books
for the name. The neglect Of this, by many
Postmasters, Causes much loss and some hard
thoughts between publishers and subscribers
Observation-Disclosures Senator Badger, few
days ago, presented a petition from citizens Of
North Carolina against the Nebraska bill, he
intimated supposition that they had changed
their views since he had spoken for them in
the Senate IL is believed by not few that
Mr.. Badger, Mr.. Pcarce Of Maryland, and
others, changed their opinions, or varied from
their intended course of action, during the pc
Rod Of its consideration in the Senate, and
probably from tho same causes that affected
tho vcrtcbrm Of Mossrs Clayton and Everett.
