FOreign Politicians.

The following is worthy the profound at
tention Of those to whom it is addressed, the
sentiments coming, as they do, from = distin-
guished and prominent citizen:
Brownson does not like "lrsh politicians"
ave have no great respect for Irish politi-
cians," he says in the last number Of his Re-
view, whether foreign.born or American-born
that is, a class of men with little solid talent,
but great volubility, who regard the portion Of
our population born in Ireland or Of Irish par
ents 40 their stock in trade, and seek to render
themselves politically important by having it
believed that they can command the "lrish
vote" These men, commonly regarded as re-
pesenting the Irish body, we hold in no high
esteem, and we seldom fail to let them know it,
because their influence, as far as influence they
have, is injurious to the country" He says,
however, that Americans have their demagog-
ues as well as the Irish, which may be true.
and not yet any excuse for the foreign-born
demagogues. The people ef country have
a right to do many things in that country
which it would be very improper for foreigners
to do there. Americans may combine in par
ties for the accomplishment of certain pur-
poses, without any other people being concern.
ed on that account But foreigners here re-
siding have no right to do so; and even it their
right were not disputable, it would be in bad
taste for them to constitute themselvs q class
apart from the native population, for political
reasons. This is what has been done here by
foreigners, particularly by the Irish, and almost
entirely by Irish Catholics. Therefore it is that
powerful American feeling has been evoked,
and through which great deal more will yet
be done. Foreigners who encounter hostility
in the United States have only themselves to
thank if they are thereby put to any inconve.
nience. They have only to mind their own
business, 10 live here pleasantly, and to enjoy
much more comfort than they ever did at
home,

permission to pray over his old master" His

offered to the Throne of Mercy prayer, which fol

could not be exceIIed. The tears Of a large con-
course Of, white persons present, showed how
deeply they were moved by the fervor aud earnest
ness Of this good old slave.

aud promising him their cordial and hearty sup

Mr.. Brooks, in accepting the nomination, said
that the two prominent acts committed by him
which had raised such an opositlon to his re-elec
ton, were his vote against returning W. II. Sew
ard TO the u. S. Senate, and his wish 10 secure all

nation, he assured them that his action on all
questions Should be guided by his convictions of
tight and justice, irrespective of all party feeling
and we, for our own part. though differing in some
opinions from the honorable gentleman, entertain
not shallow Of doubt that his promise will be
faithfully kept. There was seine real, hearty, old
