The Buffalo Erpress--a paper not remark.
able for love towards anything lrish-takes
for text the assertion Of DIR. Mackay that
1reland's poet has yet to be born" and thus
speaks:
We are always prepared to hear precisely
such sentiments from one who is himself by
nature an unmitigated toady, and one who
has been filled with vanity, absolutely to
bursting, by the folly Of toadies on this side
OF the water. Charles Mackay may be a
poet, and has doubtless written few verses
that might pass for genuine poetry, but he
has also written more trash in that line than
any other man who ever claimed the homage
of American funkeys, except, perhaps, Tup.
per, of Proverbial Philosophy notoriety.
Mackay came over here to be toadied and TO
take advantage of the fiunkeyism Of such
persons as Belle Britain, and others, to make
money. We hope he has succeeded, and in
that event he will return TO England and
write book, in which we shall be only
moderately abus d but if he has failed
why, we shall catch it-that's all. We need
no better evidence of such mans incapaci-
ty to form correct opinion OF our iDstitu-
tions, than the evidence which the above IT.
mark shows of his entire ignorance of the
Irish literature. II is well known fact,
that the literary supremacy Of the British
empire eliminated in the region of Queen
Anne, and long since passed out Of English
hands. During the past century il has re-
Wales has contributed no small share to
the general wealth Of English literature.
The man who says that Irelands poets
are yet to be born, is either downright fool,
or an insuiIerablc egotist, such as we take
Charles Mackay to be. As well might he
say that the sun OF Italy is yet TO rise,
Why, Ireland is a nation Of poets. Poor
and degraded Us many of them are, we will
do them the justice to say, that among no
people in the world are poetical ideas so
common, and poetical language 40 much a
matter Of every day use as in ireland We
hazard the assertion that any one of our free
and Independent electors who halls from the
bog, will let drop in the course Of an hour s
conversation, more real gems Of poetry, thar
Charles Mackay and his funkeys ever dream
I'd ofpenning. There is no necessity for spes
cifying any particular Irish poet TO show tn
absurdity OF Mackay's statement. Tho
whole land is filed with poetry and song
and better poetry and richer song than evel
emanated from the darkness OF a London
fog. The poetry OF Ireland is just beginning
TO be appreciated. Her dramatis.s, novelists
and statesmen have long since been acknowl
edged, and when the writings OF Charles Mac
kay will have been swept away among The
rubbish Of the 10Th century, into the water
Of oblivion, the name Of Tom Moore will b'
a. familiar wherever the English language i

readers that our most sanguine expectations re-

the favor Of propitious Providence, been fully
realized. We do not make mention OF tins in
the spirit Of braggadocio, but because we feel
grateful tor our prosperity and because we do
hot know how 10 express our gratitude except
in the way We have here chosen. We believe
we have thus far at least tried to do our duty

THE WILD HUNT FOR OFFICE.

There is nothing we despise more heartily
than that base, unmtigated, gIovelliog wretch,
the professional office-secker. We do not wish
to be understood, however, as here referring to
such as occasionally present themselves for
the sufiages OF the people, nor yet to those
who are made candidates by the wishes OF their
fellow citizens; but only to that class Of persons
who are continually pushing themselves io'-
ward for the purpose OF obtaining one, whether
by fair means, OF foul, by honest rIectioneefiue,
or by trictery, bribery and fraud. This sort Of
persons aJounds everywhere, but more largely
and beautifully than any where else in the
ranks Of the present Opposition party. The
late State Convention OF that organization, if or
ganizaiioa it may be called, was perfect bear

our motto. Let Us never erase Il ir1m our flag.

CAN SUCH THINGS BE!

Forney's Press, of last Monday, has aa cdi-
toIiaI article on the subject Of Popular Soyer-
eighty, which opens as follows:
''Doring the Presidential campaign Of 1886
there was no portion of the opposition party il
this country which objected TO the doctrine Of
Popular SoveFeienty.'
Was ever boldcr more reckless and
more unmitigated iaIsehooI published IN any
newspaper intended for CIRCULATION among an
honest and intelligent people? Does not Ma.
foRNEY know that such downright living as this
will consign his name to an infany even black
or than that which already hangs around It -
No portion Of the Opposition opposed 10 the
principle Of Popular Sovereignty in 1886 -
Why, ii was the issue-the only issue between
The Fremont party and the friends OF Mr. Bu-
chanan. The former declared that Congress
has power 10 legisate for the people ofinchoalr
States on the suljeel Of slavery and thus de-
MID the doctrine Of Popular Sovereignty. The
latter emphalioally asserted that the people
should legjslate for themselves concerning THEN
domestic Institutions, slavery iac!uded.1 oin
their own way" and i2nored the dogma ol
Congressional intervention adopted by thin
opponents. But everybody knows this and il
is needless that we should repeat it, We can
only wonder how public Journal which de-
bases It's character by giving place ia lis oailo-
rjal columns TO such deliberate, rrcm4ditatca
