the rest of mankind by our German fellow cltl-
zens, that he ,could hit somebody for their sakes,
no odds who it was aud "his attention having
been called to our last falls reflections on the
foreign customs and organizations of the Dutch,
Irish, Scotch and the rest, he just-(two weeks
afterwards )--pitched right into US; and, of
course, "ungenerous remarks" "bad grace from
such quarter" and "wbere was j. W. E. then
he might have done good service" were at
his penis point. And all comers are hereafter
to know that the ENaU1RER's correspondent and
oil the rest, may be guilty of 'fanaticism"; but
sour adopted soldiery," "full of affection for
their fader-land-their love of country being
innate" C) will stir the ''pride" and augment the
spleasure'' of all, and keep clear Of fanaticism
and all such illiberal distempers as divided Ma
tionality, complex allegiance, oue-sded interest,
in the country whose institutions they profess TO
adopt, and whose protection they so readily
claim. I owe no grudge, nor cherish any IL
liberal feelings in regard to foreigners. After
all, this may be only matter Of taste between
Mr.. Eccles and your correspondent J. W. H. !;
and, possibly, if his tastes were precisely SINH
lar to Mr.. sE's,' and if the Germans, or any
other foreigners were to be so considerate Of
your correspondents tastes or comfort, and
show him round with the '.press gang" as they
did Mr.. Eccles, ]. W. X. might use his gray
goose quill in their glorifcation until their deli
caey and self-respect might prompt them to say
quit.
You know, claim to be an Irishman. Well,
Pat went down to the wharf at New York, to
welcome Jenny, just landing from the old coun'
thry. ':And," says Pat, 'Jemmy, and rs gled
ito see yes come and leis take thrink' "No,
Pat" says Jenny, "Is took the pledge from
Father Matthew in the old counthry,, and dar' mt
to thrink." Says Pat, ooh! but Jenny, that's
no matther, for now yes in a frey country"
Pats reasoning was satisfactory to himself, and
I dare say, was controlling with his friend.
So to you, Messrs. Editors and to Mr.. Eccles
and all the rest, will say it is free country
and we all glory in liberty of conscience, liberty
of thought, liberty of speech, liberty of action,
and free, untrammelled, but responsible press
responsible to common-sense, to public opin'
ion and on return day. And if q preacher hap
pens to be correspondent Of newspaper, and
speaks out his sentiments right clearly on the
ways and doings of a very sensitive class Of our
fellow citizens, why let all the Qull-drivers from
the mountains to the sea board hasten to the res
cue, and save our reputation as 90 land Of the
free and the home of the brave % But don't let
the fact that man is Christian Minister, ne
cessarily expose him to q rougher handling than
others may look for. Now, Messrs Editors,
you and our friends may thank friend Eccles for
this much "copy" for the ENQUIRER; and, 1pray
you, make an arrangement by which Mr. Eccles
may have spare copies Of this the next time the
Germans try to make Dutchman Of him; and,
no doubt, they will learn him to climb the greasy
pole, and achieve many foreign and national
graces that will largely augment his pleasure,
and greatly stir the pride Of all his friends
and certainly, have always considered myself
Mortimer. or any of our foes, trust he willHido-
good service"
Well, Mess2s. Editors, have been all round
your regions in the last six weeks. Up on the
Yadkin, by Salisbury, Charlotte and Chester;
up on the Pacolet and Broad, by Union and Spar
tanburg; and I looked in at the Convention and
heard Mr.. Yanceys great speech, and felt just
like the South yet had sons of whom she might
be proud, and to whom she might look, in the
evil day, for 'sgood service" Ihaye read Sena-
tor Hammond's letter, and Mr.. Niles speech,
and feel that in these times Of unrest, and fear
fulness and doubt, We have some pilots who un-
derstand the currents, are familiar with our ha-
vens, and will perpetuate the renown of our Car
olina craftsmanship. "We still live"
Yours truly. ]. W. 4.
