another reverie, similar to that from which he
seems to have been suddenly aroused, by a
fancy that the whole country was in tumult,

to'acquire mighty territories, which were to
be peopled by Dutch and Irish, whose patriot
ism, intelligence, ingenuity, and piety, the En-
quirer thinks is equal to its own.

az The Richmond Wing Of yesterday re-
news its assaults upon us, and doubtless sup
poses IL has hit ms some hard blows This
may be so, but we do not yet feel any bad
effects from its blows. Some gentleman, un-
known to us, had addressed communication
to that press, over the signature Of An Amer
lean" respectfully suggesting, and, as we think,
very clearly showing, that the Wing had done
US injustice. The Wing thereupon delivers
itself of nearly column Of views, from which
We clip the following
1--WE can have no fellowship with, nor faith in,
sny man or party at the South, which recommends
and endorses the policy Of ignoring the great
a5d vital question [ofl slavery.
"The WASHINGTON Organ has seen At to assume
the position alluded to, and in doing 20 has for
feited, in our Judgment all claim TO Southern sym
patty or support. Our correspondent Ia certainly
not ignorant Of the fact that what IL meant by
ignoring the slavery question is simply that
nothing shall be said about it, one way or the
other. That Is the idea OF the Northern anti-Ne.
braskaites, and IL Is ALEC the idea Of the Washing
ton Organ"
The finale Of the Wings argument Is thus
expressed:

Our Country an Asylum for Foreigners.

Our Country an Asylum for Foreigners.
To annex such mighty Territories, and open
them, under proper regulations, TO The European
race, WI constitute us the greatest beneactors of
mankind that have ever played a part on the
Worlds Theatre.-Riclmond Enquirer.
This Is the doctrine Of the administration
party, as enunciated by the Richmond En-
quirer. To entitle ourselves to the designation
Of the "benefactors Of mankind" we must
acquire "mighty Territories" and "open
them to the European race" How generous
our Richmond contemporary is getting. For
the sake Of enjoying the "rich Irish brogue,"
and sweet German accent" he is willing to
go to war, exhaust the Treasury, cripple the
commercial interest and resources Of the coun-
try, that mighty Territories" may be acquired
and thrown open TO the paupers, criminals,
conyicts, Red Republicans, and inHdcls Of Eu-
rope.
As TO the Irish Pspist, says the Enquirer, Of
whom the Organ complains, they are all patriotic,
religious, and industrious. Not traitor, an inf
del, or Abolitionist Is to be found among them.
The German immigrants are very industrious, in
telligent and ingenious"
VINO ever heard oil " patriotic freshman,
or an ingenious putchmanS" and there are no
traitors, nfidels, or Abolitionists to be found
among them. The Enquirer might just as well
have said there were no paupers, thieves, or
criminals among them. Has the Enquirer ever
read the history Of the !" San Patricio Batta-
lion, " or the proceedings Of "a German meeting,
recently held in Texasp
The intelligence Of the German immigrants
is something like the Enquirer's logic, not very
easily comprehended by Americans, and Irish
patriotism is very apt to ooze out, when tho
time for action arrives, and for the purpose Of
