The union In Another Mum.

The Union is out in long editorial in an
swer TO the charge made by the New Orleans
Delta, an administration paper, that its course
upon the Kansas Nebraska bill has been in.
consistent and unsatisfactory. We think the
Unions course, by its own showing, has been
perfectly consistent with the usages and Gus
toms Of the party which IL represents; that Is
to advocate both sides Of every question, and
neither side very positively, until the result be-
fore the people is .sscertaincd, then TO como out
boldly occasionally mistakes have been CON-
mitted, but not often. The Union says its party
has been united and harmonious, yet its own
columns daily exhibit the evidences Of very
great want Of harmony. The Union labors
assiduously to quell the characterization among
the country press, but they repel the assaults
Of the Union with renewed energy, and the
indications are that there will soon be grand
melee They want pap, and IL must be fur
nished, or else there win be no hope for Pierce
for the succession. The Treasury is overflow
ing and the country papers are as much en-
titled to be fed from ii as Forney and Nichol-
son. Cannot few more offices be created
and filed with Sag NIGHT editorse II has

The American Democrat Of this morning
says: For the present, it may be sufficient
to observe that, probably, one great reason Of
the decline in Mr.. yansant's vote was the
absence Of many Of his supporters, who had
gone to the adjoining, district for the purpose
Of voting for Hon. Henry May" II the Dem
ocra desires proof ofthis fact, 1t can be readily
furnished in this city, for it was openly pro-
claimed here just after the Maryland election,
by the leading Sag-Nichts, that many voters
had been transferred from vansants to Mays
district The post Office clique in this city, and
probably similar cliques in Baltimore, had
staked their money on May, and portion Of
the Peter g. Washington Black Mail Fund
was also wagered on his election; and to save
the bets, every effort was made 10 elect May.
vansant was, in all probability, sacrificed to
save the money---for the Sag-Nichts, notwith-
standing all their Boosting about principle, love
money best

Is the Nebraska BilI a Testf

9 The Washington Union has officially announ-
ced, several Ones, that support of the Kansas-Ne-
braska bill was, and was to be, "a test of Demo
cratic orthodoxy Not long since, Montgomery
Blair, Esq, of Washington, was appointed to the
highly responsible and profitable post of Solicitor
Of the Court Of Claims by the influence of the Van
Burens at the White House, and in spite of the
protest of National Democrats everywhere. We
now find in the Washington Union of yesterday
letter from this late appointee of the administra
ton, addressed TO the editors, stating that the wr
ter, Blair, did not favor the passage of the Ne
braska act'-as everybody knew before. Were
the editors Of the Union capable Of the sentiment
of shame, they would blush at the contemplate
attitude they find themselves in.
The Nebraska bill, we find, Is no more test
at Washington than il is at Albany, where ths Al
bany Atlas has fallen to denouncing 1t again right
Justify. Harrah for the administration! "-Neo
York Nees.
The above Is from a Democratic paper And
so Montgomery Blair Is not only anti ebraska,
but was appointed to a lucrative office Gin
spite Of the protest of National Democrats
everywhere" viii the Richmond Enquirer
and kindred Southern papers attempt any
longer to deceive the South with the idea that
the administration is making the Nebraska bill
a test of eligibility to office? The Union has
blown hot and cold upon this question, and
endeavors to deceive the South with the oft-re-
peated declaration that Nebraska is the test at
the same time the administration retain in
Office in New York, Philadelphia, Boston, and
throughout the North, persons who, like Blair,
openly proclaim their opposition to the meas
urc. But win the Union publish Blair's first
letter We are becoming impatient Blair
has really become an important man, Che is in
debted to us for his notoriety,) and the people
desire to hear his opinions. They know he is
/" Peppers son." and want to know in what he
differs from "copper"

The Irish Brigade.

4 In the British Parliament there has always
been faction, composed of the members from
Ireland, who vote in solid body upon all ques-
tons, which has been denominated the Irish
Brigade" in the present House Of Repre-
ssentatiyes there is q similar faction, numbering
seventy four, who, like the San Patricio battal-
ion, which deserted on the plains Of Churu-
busco, and fought against their country's cause,
have arTayed themselves against the American
cause, and determined, as the palace guards of
the petty dynasty now in power, to blockade
all the ports of entry, through which means
only can the coroner and jury of inquest reach
the impurities and corruptions Of this admins
tration, and hold them up to the scrutiny and
gaze of people deceived and cajolcd by sti-
pendiary press.
Day after day this Irish Brigade presents
itself on the fioor Of Congress with an unbro-
ken front, and saying to its enemy, We have
the vantage ground, and you shall purchase us
with the spoils, and close the ports of entry
into our masters citadel, where lie strewed
around the living evidences of his guilt and
corruption, or VIC mean to stand behind the
rampant which we have here erected, and thus
guard the portals to his palace, and save him
from the exposure which con6ding people
demand at your hands. s-.s
Yes, this Irish Brigade, preferring rather to
be captured as spies, than submit to an honor
able defest and, emboldened by the miser-
able prospect which fortnighfs garrison Of a
field already conquered, would seem to promise,
has even dared to dispatch an emissary to the
camp Of its enemies, with full powers to ne
gotiate for share of the trophies of war.
Though defeated, conquered, and within the
grasp of the conqusror, the faithful guardians
Of their masters palace, sue for a bounty. The
day Of retribution is nigh at hand, and this
/" Irish contingent" now numbering but seven
ty-four, win dwindle away, and not one viii be
left to tell tbc tale of their sorrows.

NEW ORLEANS. POLLOK. ---In the police Mt New
Orleans there are 1876 natives, and 1913 foreigners.
In ten years the State Of Massachusetts had
on charge 1l9,e28 paupers; Of this number
s0,ss4 were foreigners.
The falling off last year In the report Is on
account Of the paupers being removed TO the
State almshouses The report also states that
222, 900 persons had been partially relieved or
supported, Of whom $1,000 had no legal resi-
dence in the Commonwealth. The whole cost
for relieving and supporting paupers, during
ten years INCLUDING the interest on almshouses)
was four millions one hundred and seventeen
thousand two hundred and ffty-one dollars
and sixty three cents ts.sf.r
viii the foreign press deny these facts, and
continue todelude the public mind by assert
ing that the immigrants Of the present time
are equal in industry, energy and morality
with those of half century ago? We invite
the attention Of the Union and Richmond
Enquirer, the two Journals which seem to
manifest very great solicitude in regard to the
welfare Of these foreign paupers and thieves,
To examine these statistics, and would fain
expressth hope that even they would be
convinced Of the error Of their ways" These
are the individuals whom the American party
seeks to prevent from interfering in the politi-
cal affairs of this country, and is it just OF
right that foreign paupers, thieves and crimi-
nails should be allowed to exercise the highest
privileges which appertain to American citi-
zenshipf No one who views tho issue be-
tween the American and foreign party can for
moment doubt the justice Of the American
cause, much less can any well-balanced mind
claim the political equality of foreion paupcrs
and criminals with the natiye-born American
citizens.
We may be willing to admit honest immi-
grants into our household, and share our hos
pitality with them. But does it follow that
we should permit even them to rule US, or that
we should share our hospitality with those who
neither respect the moral nor criminal code.
We appeal to every lover of his country to
examine this question and decide upon the
facts; throw aside prejudices, and we doubt
not he will arrive ut the same conclusion al
which we have
