A TRIpARTITE TrEATY FOR IRELAND.
Now that Ireland has become, by the
establishment Of the Atlantic Telegraph
and the Galway steamship line, the high
way of nations between The two hemis-
pheres, it becomes of the utmost impor-
lance that her government should be fairly
and imparlially administered, and that no
one nation should have exclusive juris-
dction over the island. Great Britain has
now 10th termini of the great Telegraph
on her dominions. tits not meet that she
should have this power. She ought 10 be
we'll satisfied with having the exclusive
control of one of them, and should be con-
tent to place the other under the joint
protection of the other great Powers
We, e,therefore, propose that Grea. Britain,
France and the United States shall enter
into sort of tripartite treaty in respect 10
Ireland, similar to that proposed 10 Cuba

Ragan Turned Critic.


The article in the Herald Of Saturday
last with The above caption is untrue from
beginning to end.
We have had no concert with locofocos,
or anybody else, to /" ipjure the pOspecis
Of Mr.. Bingham's election in the event Of
his nomination"
We have, independently, given our
views, on the question of "ro:ation in
Office" and in doing so, our object has
not been, as charged, to +" fan discord."
No man who has any regard for his own
verscily, will risk it, by saying that we
have " falsi6ed Mr. Bingham's record"
We are prepared to prove from the record
the truth OF every word we have written
on this subject Our object has been the
real and permanent good of the Anti-Ad-
ministration party, and we have no, one
word to take back.
What does the Professor Of the Herald
mean by " holding as responsible ~
Bless the man, we have within the last
ten days heard some Of the best Republi-
cans in the county say that, "they wish
ed be would sell out and leave the county,
for he was an injury and disgrace to the
party"
"Hold US responsible !" Who does
not know that "us" of the Herald, has no
moral or political character to be " held
responsible" for anything!
We wish to have no further contention
with Mr., Allison on grammar or Rhetoric
--neilher Of us have much 10 brag Of, on
that score.
II is true, that some six years ago, Mr..
Allison had the kindness 10 strike out one
or two words, which were redundant,
from short communication we handed
him for publication but this, it we re-
member right, was done at our own sug-
gestion Quite clever act, Mr.. Allison =!
Well worth publishing in your literary
and very interesting journal, at this late
day. From that one noble act Of disinte-
rested beneYoence, written on the page Of
our worlds history, unborn posterity
may rise up and call you blessed"
But it is charged by the Herald that
we abut Sc ldom write our own editorials. y
II we really thought them as poor as the
learned editor of the Herald represents
them to be, our pride would perhaps in
Guce us to let this charge pass for truth,
but c0ndor compelS US to confess, that, no
eye but our own ever rested upon an edi-
torial which we have published on "rota.
ton in Office" until it was handed to the
compositor.
Blu! now we are tempted, Yes, the
temptation is strong-it is to recrilnina
tion-we are overcome by its power
Well, we yield. When we wrote ou
reply last week, 10 the attack Of the
Herald. we were then in possession Of the
information that, the very articleto which
we replied, had been seen in manuscript
ON the table of the gentleman, who il i:
well known writes all the editorials fol

in that gentleman's hand writing. Rah
er suspicious case, we should think
But why contend about small matters, th'
great point is to unite Americans and Re
publirans, IN the support Of the excellen
ticket which has been placed in nomina
tion, and give the Democracy such
threshing this fall, as will compel then
TO cry for quarters.

For the True American.


Come leE US sing farewell song,
A soft and pleasant strain
For be life's journey short or long,
We hope to meet sgain,
This world is full oGblessedness,
For Innocence and Love;
And Fancy's wing watts off distress
Whene'er we soar above.
The words of knowledge which we hear
And kindle gladness now:
The smiles which every bosom cheer
And beautify each brow
The best affections of our heart
Even distance fails to kill,
Like kindred plants when borne apart
Shall live and flourish still.
The recreations of our youth
While innocence is there
And knowledge with her lamp of truth,
Directing all with care.
Then seeds of wisdom timely cast,
Beneath fair Learnings ray:
And cultured in the cheerful breast,
Shall bear rich fruits for aye.
The pleasures of this passing hour,
Cannot have smiled in vain;
For memory has a mystic power (
To bring them back again
They long may disappear as dead.
Like flowers in winters storm
Till Spring s hall raise them from thei
bed,
To live, and smile, and charm.
