cite the disgust of the more intelligent portion
of them. and they are beginning to show II, too'
in an unmissakable manner. This will not pc
surprising to any man capable of comprehend

when he hears his own countrymen extolled to;

v;ops hidden. by some ti-American Office
seck;ne spesker. who, at the same time, abuses
bis own natiyesb born brethren in the eoarsest
terms Of villi6cation, knows, for he feels it in
his heart, that there is neither sincerity or
truth in the orator, and that he uses such IN
natural language merely for the sake of accom-
sptishing some sinister, selfish object. While
Messrs. Wickliffe and Noise were denouneing
the Americans on Canal street, we heard pre-
cisely such sentiments fall from the lips Of more
than one adopted citizen, who were nanssated
pursued BY the speakers. They knew--for they
fslt within themselves the operation of the great

his birth with hooks Of steei-that If they had

Of themselves, but for their uofes, just as rich
heiresses frequently are, not because they pos
Isess beauty or intellect, hut because they are
the fortunate possessors Of a superabundance of
dimes.
Well may they argue - as many Of them do
argue--why should this native abuse his bro

signs using me to promote his OWE selfish ends I
DOES be feel aware that he eannot use his native
brother, and, therefore, seeks to arouse my pre-
JUDGES against him, in order to convert meinto
an easy, unwilling tool
Such, aud similar questions, are asked much
oftener than the anti americans are aware of,
or would, probably, care to know. The fact is,
they have piled abuse and fattery on too thick
Ito such an extent as to engender suspicion,
which has led to reaction,
We have, from time to time, to illustrate the
feeling above alluded to as existing among the
more intelligent classes Of our adopted citizens,
Published the views of able and patriotic men,
born in other countries, but now citizens of the
United States, in regard to this very American
question. The other day, we gave the opinions
Of an Englishman, ct length. which fully sus-
tanned the grounds taken by the American
party. To-day, we propose to give extracts
from q letter written by an frishman, which
first appeared in the Philadelphia American
banner. Would that his countrymen would
pay attention to his patriotic and sensible teach
ingsl They would be benefited thereby; the
tue oause Of truth and right would be advan-
tagged thereby. Let them read the subioined
noble passages, and govern themselves accord
Iingly. Says the writer;

Why, the ancient war cry of the Irish them
selves, is but the war cry of the American or
ganixation. II our memory does not serve us a.
shabby trick it was the great O'Connell who
said, in one Of his most powerful speeches, upon
advocating repeal Of the union England for
the English Scotland for the Scotch land, ]
Ireland for the Trash The Afaerioans claim
nothing else, and mean nothing else. They
only seek to enforce the same great principles
Of nature itself, which was advocated by the
Irish hberators. Although they are aware
three-fourths Of the Irish vote will be thrown
against them, yet they wculd hail with joy and
exnltation the acknowledgment of Ireland
They say, and ,ciA carry out the doctrine:
Ireland for the Irish; Scotland for the Scotch
England for the English France for the
French; Spain for the Spaniards; Germany
for the Germans; and, .d,ae,icq for The
americans. What they freely yield to all ma
tionalities what is practiced in every cline
under the canopy of heaven, and which has
been practiced and observed by every people as
far back as history, or tradition, orths inspired
words Of the Holy Book. give us any account,

right II govern their. o,pn eouatry-to shape
its course and mould its institutions Hithout let
or hindrance from those who have sought
shelter under their fag, and who have been re-
ceived with open hands and kindly hearts.
The writer then, in few telling remarks,
proceeds to show how impossible it is to emerge
from the dark and debasipg thraldom of heredi-
tary bondage. into the noontido blaze of free.

The following remarks should sink deep into the
