From the United Irishman (Dublin) Aug. %. ]
Irish Advice to Irishmen in America.

From the tone of the British journals
we are induced to believe that England
is at the bottom of the resistance to the
draft for The Federal army 1t is quite
natural that men should be opposed to
conscriptions of the kind, and that such
measure would be more especially up
popular in free country like America.
1t is, therefore, the more easy to stir up
opposition to it. English gold is at work
in New York Her emissaries are there
taking advantage of the popular preju-
dices, and doing more damage to the
cause of the Union than if she had actu-
ally recognized the independence of the
Southern States.
The London Times mas an article,
gloating over the anticipated resistance
of Gov Seymour to the draft 1t would
certainly be playing the game of the en-
envy to perfection. England would give
the Governor a mil ssi' nds sterling if
he could be induce Ike such step.
1t might tend to tilc r,u IA cation of the
war, or the destruction oi the Union, but
most unquestionably to the complete an
Inhalation of Irish influence in America,
and amend of all hope for the freedom
of fatherland in our generation. Let
them stand, till the last, by the flag that
has been borne alongside their own in
battle, and under whose folds alone they
can find freedom and protection.
