An Irish Exodus.

One Of the signs OF the times is the pal
pable falling away Of the Irish throughout
the country from the party ofthe Admins
tration. This is persceptble especially in
the city Of New York, where the Irish
Brigade has long been celebrated for its
adherence to the regular nominations, the
p rty usages; aud whose numbers and
steadiness under all circumstances have
been the very soul and foundation of that
supremacy which the democracy have
so long enjoyed. So palpable, however
is the wrong committed in Kansas, that
even the Irish are no longer willing to
stand before the world as parties to the
preceding; and regiment after regiment
that helped year ago last fall to roll up
the twenty thousand majority for Buchan-
anan and Breckenridge. are now going ov-
er to the standard OF the Douglas. The
following from the Freeman's Journal, the
organ Of Archbishop Hughes, is signif.
cant, and, to the cause Of the Administra>
ton. ominous enough:
The defeat of Mr., Fremont was Judged
to be the happy overthrow Of hapless ad
ventuler. who was perfectly willing to try
the experiment Of playing sectional Presi-
dent at the probable expense of the union
of the States. We at the North, who be.
lieve in all the great ideas-both memories
and hopes-which cluster around the Un-
ion, ejoiced chiefly in the success. not OIL
names, nor of persons, but of principles.
as noby established in the triumph oI
James Buchanan; we had no misgivings
of his fidelity to the doctrines which his e.
lection embodied. But the President has
disappointed the hopes Of his frisnds. He
has gone over to his enemies-he has rem
the Democratic party in twain. Extremes
have met, and the Administration. steering
wildly, has missed Scylla, and dashed up
on Charybdis. We defeated the sectiona
candidate, but we are cursed with a sec
tional Administration the first in our his

it was not sectional Administration tha
