Presidential candidates! AS though
the Hon. p. 4. Herbert, a member G of
Congress from California, could, by
any prtUate act of his, no matter how
wrongful, inculpatc the party to which
lie belongs! As though the killing of
citizen by Democrat could involve
the Democratic party in crime!
We desire to defeat this sham Democ-
racy by the use of every honorable
weapon of political warfare, but, we
say, that the attempt to make political
capital out of an occurrence of this
character, on the part of our Irish citi-
zens, proves them unfit to exercise the
right Of free suffrage in any civilized
community! 1t furnishes convincing
proof that such classes of men ought
not to be permitted to control the cleo
tlons of this country. Because, a dem
ocratic member of Congress, who (as a
sworn jury have declared) took the life
of an Irishman in self defence, aOas not
hung to crafty the vengeance of the
Irish friends of the deceased, therefore
the Irish voters ought to unite and
punish the party to which the accused
belongs! 49, g.. ....
That is the uieV, which this class of
the foreign population entertain, of
American laws and institutions -
What say you gentleman Democrats of
the South? Have these Irishmen a
good reason for abandoning the Demo
cratic party, and throwing themselves
INTO hostile array against your rights,
interests, and institutions? Are they
qualified to become law makers in this
your natioe land? Your 90 IS gored
by the bull nov, and you may perhaps
open your'eyes to his nature, disposi-
tion and propensitics! Ayo, when the
combined forces of the Germans and
Irish, shall have so far swelled the
ranks of Abolitionism as to place John
O.. Fremont in the Presidency, you
may wake up from your sleep
The pamphlet to which we refer, is
| filled with the most inflammatory ap-
peals to Irish passion and prejudice, a.
gainst the South and its Institutions
it calls upon Irishmen throughout the
land, to unite and elevate Fremont to
the Presidency, and to punish South
ern insolcnco and oppression. Unfor-
tunately for tho sham Democracy, these
defeotions from it's ranks, constituting
at least one-half of the former vote of
that party in the North, leave it help
less, inefficient, and powerless. For
ttnately, however, for the country, the
conservative American party, the nat
ural antagonist of these foreign clc-
mcHts, stands now "full formed and
perfect" able, willing, and determined
to arrest the evils which surround and
threaten our institutions.
10 this party 6nH can the country
look, to keep in check those malign
Influences which are fast undermining
the citadel of constitutional freedom.
The sham Democracy are pledged in
their present platform, as in their past
Ipolicy, to nourish and encourage indis-
criminate and unlimited immigration.
Their hands are tied Isit not, then,
Ialike the interest and the duIty Of ali
conservative men--of all who value
the blessings bequeathed us-of all who
desire to hand those blessings down to
their posterity, to unto with us and
sustain the american Reformation %

We heard the other day at the Slash
Cottage, Of o capital anecdoto of a gen
tleman who availed himself of the fa-
milliar use of the word kkewtse as d
synonyme for alec, in order to avoid
returning either an unpalatablc or un-
truthful answer to lady.admirer Of
our ebo shin governor. Referring to
the characteristic exhibition Of egotism
and bomBast made by bis Excollency
on the occasion Of the delivery of Mr..
Everotts address in this city, the lady
inquired Of her companion if he was
not "delighted with Governor Wiso's
speech" "I think Mr.. Everett's ad-
dress admirable, and the Governors
like Wisc," was the prompt reply.

Lip W0Rghts Thoughts that gro
eternaIly on ones lips are like straws on
the water; they rcst upon tho serfacc,
and are prominent TO all but the utterly
blind, but they are too light to remain
anywhere. and noqt down the stream of
society I'll they pass away, without leav.
Ing the slightest remembrance behind.
But tho inward reflections Of the soul
are like recks IN the bosom of tho ocean
thcy arc permanent, aud mover exhibit
themselves but TO those who dive deep.
w but when once discovered they stamp
themselves on our memory until we are
wiling to persuade ourselves that they
are absolutely necessary, as so many
beacons to warn Us from tue shoals Of
error.
