In the slave States the laboring 1rlshman
is looked down upon. with contempt by
the slaVe-holding aristocracy, and is classed
as "poor white trash" The very slaves
despise them as they do all other "nigger-
less whites" The Irish are barely allowed
to vote, but rarely to hold Office OF asso-
ciate with Southern gentlemen" These
are undeniable facts. Why then is it,
we repeat, that the Insh feel such internal
hatred against negro because he happens
to be treef It is only in these States
where all are free that the Irish are treated
with any sort Of regard It is only in the
free Suites that the poor nan has rights
which the rich man is bound to respect.
1t is exclusively in those States where the
negroes are free that labor is respected and
the Eishman is best treated.
The Irish vote the pro-alayery ticket On

a,o1dcrs before the war. and are the warm

The warehousemen would use slsYe
