John hTitche!l's Advice.

John Mitchell, the rescued Irish exile, who
a short time ACC wished he had plantation
OF wel~stocked negroes in Alabama, writes to
the \. Y. Citizen the following reasonable
advice to Irshmen and Catholics Read it
and ponder, citizens of New Hampshire =
For every musket given into the State
Armory, let three be purchased forthwith let
Independent companies be formed, thrice Is
numerous as the disbanded corps-thcrc are
no Arms Acts here yet-and let every foreign
er be drilled and trained, and have hia arms
always ready. For You may be very sure.
(having some experience in that mattcr that
those who begin by Gisarmjns you mean TO DO
mischief.
BE careful not to truckIc in the smallest
particular to American prejudiccs. Yield not
a single jot of your own; for you haze as
good right to your prcjudiccs as they Do
not, 10y anv means, suffer Gardeners Bible lrhG
Protestant Bible to be thrust down Your
tn oats"
1T is hardly TO be conceived that the mad
ness of faction and the insolence of race, will
proceed to such length as to dis"rm Indepen-
dent companies CT private men. If they do'
then the Constitution is at an end the ale
glance you have sworn to this Republic, Is
annulled"
IIe then says
This senseless fucd must be reeonciled =
there must be peace peace, or else 1rar q
erter,nination We are here on American
ground, either as citizens, or as enemies"
The Lowell Journal which has always or
posed the American Party, upon this says:
This advice amounts to this " Arm your
selves, and be ready, if the Americans don't
govern their country to suit you, to conquer
their majority with armed forces; l mem
pixies, not muskst> Above all things cherish
your bigotry, and don't let ther educate your
children for fear the latter viii reed 'Gandncr5
Biblen"
When such advice is given openly to foreign
ers Ill this country, will Americans say that
there is no need Of the American Party "A
hqmbug, fanaticism, useless. foolish, without
adequate cause, is the cry with which the
American Party is opposed They would
make US believe that the evils of foreign infu-
ence, of which all Of US have complained, and
which nobody has denied for years, are phan,
toms. Docs this bold advice OF John Mitchell
look like it? Are the Philadelphia and the
Newark riots not realities? And when we
have reached the point where foreigners in our
borders store arms as did Cataline and Cethes
gus, how far are we from the Manlian caasp"
When defiance is thus hauI ted in the fac o.
Americans how many nights are VIC from 81.
Bartholomew?
1t is in the face Of such overwhelming facts
ac those and such in ending evils, that the
people of Ne Hampshire are appealed to with
the miserable expedient Of party discipline.
The people are moving to I>.lely giant and
accommodating evil but few pcusioned or
gans and a few paid asents attcmpt TO hedge
their path with the trumpcry Of cliques and
parties. The people, not of New Hampshiro
alone but Of he GO" try, have now an oppor-
tunlty to settlers cncc and for aye the Ques-
ton of foreign and Catholic aggression. If
through disunion, or petty JEALOUSY, or pusiliar
unity they fail to meet the exgency, what is
the field before them They are left truck
ling and subservicnt race upon their own soil
Esau sold his brthright cheap but Americans
will sell theirs cheaper, and will become a by
word for eowardice and degradation, if they :.
permit foreign element to shape their policy,
and foreign troops to organize upon their soil.
