The following is an extract from Il letter
from Port Deposit, received too Late for pub
LEGATION last week
Mn. EDITOR: The Democracy had a grand
pole raising at Rock Run Oh Thursday ol!ast
week and # they feel anywisc clalcd at the
success Of that days proceedings &c certainly
shall not complain.
1t was just such a meeting as its managers
bad reason to hope for. Nliclc one American
took part five foreigners We're more conSplcu-
GUS, and II las been stated as a fact that out
Of twcnty-ninc, who were assisting III raising
the pole, twenty-five were Irish.
And here let me give credit to the Editor
Of the Cecil Democrat, who, it Was reported,
came all the way from Llxton to speak on
The grand occasion. When he had taken a
survey Of The ground, saw the assembled
mass and the clements Of which it was COM
posed, took the first opportunity presented to
give them the slip and by climbing the hills
and lodging behind the houses succeeded in
making his escape. There were many more
there who scclnedas if they would gladly have
followed him, to escape from the position i'll
which they were placed. But my dear
American Democrats you must cndoayer to
bear these things with Il better grace, we
know it sets a liltle hard on your Stomachs
TO see the Irish taking tl,e lead out Of your
hands-lt will be 50 at FIRST but you can
soon get used; l tell you there is nothing like
getting used to thing. | rccollect whcn
was Il boy and first began to chew tobacco,
it was monsrous hard work on my stomach
but got used TO it, and now its just as easy,
and you will get used to your disagreeable
lat tn
listen to the secret music of the erich Irish
mouse." You will feel little s4aa mush at
first, but don't give il up, if you 60 youwill
surely fall And well are you aware oft, these
Irish are the life blood Of your party.
10 show how rapidly they are getting used
TO it, ! was informed OF a remark made by a
prominent leader ofthat party, an old Office
holder Thy the by what II set of leaders they
have; all of them Office holders and office
>eel<ers) that was, that the Irish make better
citizens than the native born. 1t may he so,
it is being eXcmpllicd in our town at any
rate. Since their advent here we have pro-
crossed rapidly. Port Deposit is filled with
Irish grog shops from one end to the other,
where Liquor is dispensed on the Sabbath
day without stint, on which day they are to
be seen Keeling through our streets in drunken
crowds. Better citizens indeed We are
getting used TO it.
Aud now Mr.. Editor | understand the
finishing touch is to be given to the picture.
The Democratic party are to hold a grand
mass meeting at this place shortly, and it is
reported that Alex. Evans Esq. formerly wing
member Of Congress from this district, and
}. y. j. CrcSwell Esq once defeated candI-
date Of the same party, and late a delegate to
the notorious Cincinnati Convention, arc to
be the speakers. Wei let them come. 1t
will be interesting to us all, to hear the argu-
mcntI that these gentlemen may use to .usti-
fly themselves in the course they have taken.
But what has become Of the McCuliougiS
the Mlllcrs, and other leaders of the Demo
cratic party their occupations gone, and
they may now eXclaim with CasSius.
"Why man he doth boslridc The narrow world
10 AZ ,6aPssns aud we petty ncn
80 apd peep about
Now in the uarao of all fho gods at oerc
tpon what n,cat doth 'lpi our JAeksoY feed
That he is grown slei :"
