Can an Irishman vote for John B Weller? No
emphacalIy no, is the answer methinks hear pro-
ceed from each Of my countrymcn No one can repro
bate more Indignantly than do the absurd folly of
drawing distinctions between citizens of Irish birth,
and those to the manor born. Tho constitution OF the
United Stales gnzrs ne such distinctions neither
should we. But at the same time, We Irish citizens
have feelings sympathetic links Or affection that bind
us TO our race, and cause TO feel Indignant at
wrongs that may be inflicted on Them by tyrants
abroad or scoundrels TT home Who can blame us
then, if when We find Il candidate for high honors,
who has been the apoogist oi TIE murderer OF one OF
our race We shold turn away with ioahing from
the wretch, and plant the iron heel Of our ihdgna-
ton on the venemous reptiles head.
