en- your wits, but to awaken in yod the
thought of the wrongs you, as we'll as
all our couAtrymen, have suffered
since the organization of whiggery in
England. Ye all know that the first
whig protector was Oliver Cromwell,
with his merciless hordes Of soulless
murdererS. What protection did our
fathers receive from himQ BY his Or
ders they were murdered in cold blood,
hung, quartered and gibbited, or sold
as slaves to the lndias. Tipperary
and Waterford can testify. Their
property, real aud personal, was con-
tiscated. determination was the cry!
There, then, our patriotic fathers re-
mained under the yoke Of whiggery
under every name and form, suffering
oppression and tyranny from the days
OF Cromwell to that Of our immortal
Emmitt, our Irish Democrat. His
plan of freedom being discovered, he
was taken and doomed to the scaffold
and an early but honorable grave
His brother, Thomas Adds Emmitt,
Oliver Bond, DR.. McMerin and their
compatriOts, escaping the cruelty OF
England, sailed for this land Of liber-
ty. What was their disappointment
when these very Republicans, (then in
the loins Of their federal lathers) sent
them word they could not land on
American soil! The Allen and Sedi-
tion law forbade it, and Mr.. Adams
was President. \
AS soon as the Democrat Thomas
Jefferson became President, the alien
and seditiOn law was destroyed, aud
our brave cOuntI ymen were brought to
the shores Of freedom, amidst the &C.

coined the oppressed OF all nations.
My countrymen, the Federal party
died with John Q. Adams. Jackson
buried it, and the plan! that grew from
it was whiggery and that accursed
policy which wanted foreigners to re-
main here twenty-one years before
they could become citizens OF claim
the protection OF the law-(it was to
be held criminal in them for the above
term to marry q white native, but
they were to be permitted to marry
slayes.) Oursincere friends, the dem.
ocrats, ovcr'rnIed this disgusting mo-
| tion.
All men know that the Irish are no
lovers OF negroes or amalgamation,
and earnestly hope that my country
men will never become the supporters
Of negro worshipere. From the limb
Of whiggery grew Know Nothingsm,
with its dark lanterns, midnight meet
ings, and oaths, looking to the stop
page of emigration and tho total ex-
termination OF foreigners here, espe-
cially Catholics, to throw down or
burn their churches, destroy their
property and give them no employ,
that they might starye or leave the
country.
But that Democrat, Henry 4. Wise,
o. Virginia, put a stop to their mad
career, as he did to that Of John
Brown. But Henry A, Wise was not
Governor OF Massachusetts, but X.
N. named Gardner, who disbanded
eighteen military companies because
they were lposedNsprincipally of
foreign born ctizens, and gave their
arms to negroes. Their children were
turned from tho free schools, and ne
gro children sent in their place, to be
keducated and make good Black Re-
Ipublicans.
And now comes Black Republican
ism, compound Of federalism, Tory
ism, Whigisp, Know Nothingism
and deviligm. Now, ye can see what
reliance ye can place on them and
how far 20 can believe them. l hope
Fhat, with ell their hidden villainy
and deeeitful harrangues, they will
not get one single Irishman to leave
Ifs friends and join his foes. Then,

future.S SprJtectorS-DougIas and the
