Davis de- lights, on all occasions, to beslayer all who do not indorse his views. A little while ago, that smooth spoken gentleman politely remarked that the Northern and Eastern States were col Eonized chiefly from "the bogs of Ireland and the fens of Scotland "-eryo, wholly unfit to stand with or against the high-blooded South ern chivalryl Mr. Russell, of the London Yimes, states in his Diary North and South - at the opening of the civil war-that the fas tilious Southerners were grievously affected at the prospect of having to encounter Irish sol- diers in the Geld.

Kick the Paddles from the bogs of Ireland to your hearts content, and spit upon them till your aristocratic contemptis fully satisfied, provided always that you direct your atten- tions to those amongst them who advocate your claims to separate nationality, and prate of States Rights and bow down most hum ply before F. tSoatser7s Chiualry!
