GOOD ADVICE FOR THE IRISH.
Some .nontba ago . nneatiag Of Irishlnen

& Come months ago meatilg Of Irishmen
held in New York, sent complimentary
written address te YIN. Smith 0'Brien, one
Of the Irish patriots Of 1S4s, Yhc would
have been denounced as pirate and bandit
It bis rebellion had occurred IA Italy Or
iIuugafy. BY some meas his reply to
this address did not reach this country aud
find publication till December last. We
oxtrast from ii the following portion, and
commend it to the serious attention of his
riotous countrymen, VIII, when at home,
we're so ready to ofler ,ifye pounds
for the sight Of an Orangeman's faee:o
"There is no point connected with the
recent emigration from Ireland to America
respecting which | have felt 50 much solici-
tude. as the maintenance Of harmony be-
tween the native citizens and those Of my
fellow countrymen who have adopted tha
United States as their home. / trust that
the Irish viii never forget that, when they
fed in myriads from their own ccuntry IN
order to escape the manifold disasters that
awaited them there when thew fed from
famine, from ejeatment, from misgovern-
ment. from prescription, they found IN the
United States land of refuge, and were
received with fraternal welcome. | trust,
therefore, that they viii not only eyince 10y
atty to the government of the Union -;hat
they viii not only endeayor to deserve the
title of useful and orderly citizens, but thar
they will even aToi.l every proceeding which
can awaken unfounded joalousies or unwor-
thy prejadic9s.''
To the mass Of the Protestant Irish, this
advice from Mr. O'Brien was unnecessary.
The Irish Papists as general rule, will
take ne heed of it whatever. They estab-
lish their Irish papers and dab them the
Irish American, the American Celt, and |
any other namc necessary to keep up their |
seperate nationality, and their feet are |
scapcely warm on our soil, before they |
claiRp chs right es ruling ass and tla,aa4lsl.-E
admission into all our public Offices. Though |
at home, they had been screaming for years
in favor of the right of Irishmen to rule |
Ireland, and would use their slillalehs free
y upon the heads Of any foreign intermed-
dlcrs in their elections, as they intermedle /
in ours, the most violent opposition to
Americans ruling America, comes from
them Under their influence, a polluted
ard shameless press once applied the OPP
probrious terms Of dark lantern conspira-
tors, midnight assassins, and women roast
ers, to all who advocate American princi-
ples-and it is from the ranks of their chill
dren that the bands Of lawless rufians
which seak to carry our elections against
Americans by violence, are mainly recruit
ed. But they will not be allowed 20 domi-
neer over Americans here as they we're
wont to do over Orangenen at home, when
they could fall upon the latter five to cue.
Ii the5 are SO full Of rioting and lighting,
this is not the place for them to indulge in
it. They profess to owe England great
grudge. Therefore, they shoald return to
ireland aud cxpepd their yalor in endeavol-
ng to liberate their country from British
rule. When in Ireland, they VIII be loud
n.outhed Know Nothiugs, aud clamorous
ior tie right Of Irislmcn to rule Ireland
