Our Shanghai Governor mas lately been
carrying out one Of the principles Of tie
party which elected hin--the persecution
Of adopted citizens and is endesvor;ng
to follow in the tootstep. OF the notorious
Gov. GARDINER, of Massachusetts. who,
few years ago, disbanded all the military
companies, composed of foreign citizens,
in his State, organizing Negro companies
in their stead Our Know Nothing Coy
ernor of Wisconsin does not 60 so far as
his brother Of Massachusetts, for the rea-
son, we presume, that there are not " col
ored gentlemen in Milwaukee enough to
form Company of Milish," bat it APP
pears that he is commencing in the same
work of carrying out one of the principles
Of party to which he once belonged.
The ." Union Quarts" is the name of
en- old, well-disciplined Military Company
in Milwaukee, and is composed principal
ly of intelligent and leading Irish adopted
citizens. They are commanded by Capt.
GARRETT BARRY, q gentleman in every
sense, WHO has no superior in the State as
military officer. Capt. BARRY is a citi
zen Of the United States Of America-ac.
lnowledges his feaity TO the government
which protects him and the men who COM
plise lis organization, and does not hest
tate to affirm his willingness to protect in
every way in his power the Constitution
of our Union, which he has sworn to sup
port. For expressing this patriotic feel
! ing, and because he would not swear allie
! glance to ALECK Randall instead of tie
UNION, his commission has been taken
from him, and bis Co:npany-sixty Amer
ian citizens-dishsnde1 The Milwaukee
Nesos gives the following particulars
Capt. Barry is Of Irish extraction. a
relative of old Jack Barry" now first
Commodore Of the U. S. Navy. He is
Treasurer Of Milwaukee county, one of our
most respected citizens who has received
regular military education at West Point
and is "a wei versed in military discipline
as any man In the State. His COMPANY
is also composed Of some Of our best citi
zens, who are unwilling to commit treason
against their country, even at the risk of
! bringing down the vengeance Of kuon
| Nothing Executive, who would much
rather see them initiating John Brown in
| pulling hemp, than disobeying tie com,
mands Of his Royal Iliyhness.
For this unceremonious exercise of g a
little brief authority" he has high pre-
cedent, which to him is no doubt alIsufii
cient.
It will be remembered that Gov. Gardi-
ner, tie notorious Know Nothing Cover
nor Of Massachusetts, once disbanded ev
cry military organization in that State
composed of adopted citizens.
The Union Guards may give up their
| old muskets 70 the Governor, but by what
we know of them We feel confident in say
! ing. that they will continue their or.ani
cation until these whirlwintls of popular
prejudice and fury have blown over, and
the places which knows their authors and
| prornuIgators to~day "shail know them 40
more forever"
The Saturday Gazette, q literary paper
published in Milwaukee, and entirely Jude
pendent in politics, expresses its opinion
of this outrageous affair in the following
language:
"Gov. Randall has disbanlel the Union
Guards of this ciiy, and revoked the com
mission Of Capt. Barry, on account Of the
| latter having written letter which we
publish this week, and in which he states
| that in his opinion the laws of the Federal
| Government should be maintained This
IS decidedly singular proceeding, and it
strikes us that GenI Swain, who is the
probable cause Of this disbanding one of
our best companies, is getting inf sted.-
| Capt. Barry understands his business thor
oughly, and SC long as he wears 4 sword
will never disgrace it. We hope to see
the Union Guards snap their fingers at
| Adjutant Gen. Swain, and Immediately
reor-su;ze as volunteer company, ard
/ we believe the amount for the purchase Of
a new set of muske;s for them can be rails
ed by subscription among our merchants
in a very few hours. We may state in
this connection that there are three militia
~ companies in this CITY who are without
An organization, and have not fulfilled the
requirements Of the military law for seve-
raj months, yet they have not been dis.
banded. If Gen. Swain desires to try his
hand at putting on ans" be should have
commenced by disbanding, companies
from whom the vital spark has fled, ;" and
ct those which are ENJOYING healthy ex-
istence alone. His last coup d etat Illus
trstes the beauty Of haring military off
GERS who do not know their business"
Our readers, Of course, understand that
tie man SWAIN above referred to, is RAN
DALL's Adjutaut General, and is merely
the tool Of RANDALL himself.
