might cite innumerable instances from those

we mean Irish blarnsy, genuine barney
but We have no idea Of giving that class Of
our readers the benefit Of this article.
The object in view is to call attention to =
another kind Of blarney, q blarney that has
none Of the thrilling plesssntries Of an Irish
name, and instead OF being extracted from q
stone is obtained from al ism. We refer 10
Republican blaTney, Abolition blarney, with
which the ears Of the public have been filed
for e few years past. 1t is chiefly inIecti7e,
denuncistisps, Misrepresentation, Islander,
abuse, etc, and has been found to work well,

I'd Mattesson, was cent to Congress from q
district in the interior Of New York, and be-
came 80 soapdAlously corrupt in receiving
brides ssd publicly selling his vote to he
highest bidder, that he had to be pub iol
tried by the House Of Representatives. His
Alsrneyings about slavery elected him, and
reflected very little credit on the good tssts
or good Judgment Of his constituents. Due
ring the last Presidential campaign, a large
number of naturali1ed citizens were blsrnsyed
into the support Of the Republican candidate.
None were 80 lavish Of them ct the time, as
New England Abolitionists. But mark the
change! Last winter these negreloving
blarpeyiteS, these oney.worded Republicans,
concluded thoy would show to the world their
hypocrisy, by legislsting ogainst the white
man, preventing those who become citizens Of
the United States, from exercising the elect

What 30 Nebraska Republicans think Of tAis
" inyidious distinction between nativs-born
and naturalized citirensf" We do not pause
for g reply. In the Republican State Of
Iova-iust across the rivor-ths people we're
blaIneyed into the belief, q few years ago,
that it would be for thsir interest to max 8
in the hands Of the Democrats, and they had
q provision in the constitution limiting the
state debt 70 500, 900. A pretty large 6gurs!
No eosncr had the Republicans got hold Of

Of Indie, and fading the state debt limtA-
ton 10 thar way, they took another rub at

lection. In its stead they placed a limitA-
tion Of $3.50, 900. But Judge Of their capacity

have not only filled the bill, but have $40,

neyl A similar career Of state robbery mark,
ed their establishment aad continuance in
power in the states Of Wisconsin and Miehi-
gan. The radical changes made in the laws
show that they have legislstsd for aud against
the same thing, until the laws have besA 80
