Meeting.
McGREGoR, April end, 1864.
Eds. Times :-Eomc ruled the world for
long time by arms. After the subversion
Of the rule Of force, her reason in great
measure governed the nations. England's
physical power for two centuries governed
America and even to this day, not only
the laws Of England, which underlie the
American system, but her rank prejudices
also, exert q vast influence in this country.
English writer's misrcpresent Irish matters
they have the field, in manner, to them
selves, and always use their power to the
injury Of that unfortunate people. IT'S too
bad to see American papers ever ready to
parade the damaging untruths of the Eng
lish press relating to poor Ireland. Here is
an instance: Some weeks ago statement
went the rounds Of the press to the effect
that the O'Donoghue and others called a
meeting in Dublin to prote st against an act
Of the Cooperation authorizing the erection
of statue Of Prince Albert in position
coveted for its beauty, and which had pre-.
viously been refused for like purpose to
the friends Of Grattan and to those Of
O'Connell. Albert wasn't friend of the
Irish, and they are not his friends. He
pronounced Poland and Ireland unworthy
Of sympathy. Why should Ireland's
Capital honor the Dutch enemy Of Polish
and Irish freedom2 Why prefer him to
GRArrAN? to O'CoNNELLY In the depth
Of their hearts all patriots protest against
this. The meeting was then confessedly Of
a most patriotic character.
Now here comes something strange -
the Fenian brotherhood came in, Kissed the
O'Donoghue and broke up that meeting in
a row. So say the British papers, and the
monstrous tale is copied through the States.
The Chicago Times had it. am glad the
McGregor Times had better sense than to
publish such stuff. The object is to cast
odium on the National patriots by repre-
senting them as quarreling, distracted,
brainless set of humans.
Now hear the truth: The British. Irish,
hunky Corporators, organized band Of
paid roughs (Fenians! think youD whs
succeeded in breaking up the meeting, and
ir sitting, for the time, the expression Of
patriotic indignation.
find this statement in a Tennessee
paper. have it also from other sources.
IT'S travelling slowly. Truth ever does
travel in obscure paths and slow. An I'm.
just and libelous report sweeps swiftly over
the W ide field Of the public mind its con.
tradction rarely catches it in the chase
Will the American press in this instance
do bare justice to Ireland and to the Fenian
Brotherhood? Though not member,
myself, Of this society, l wish them fair
play. A lie against Fenian will merit as
black mark Above, as will that agains,
any other man, and, in the name of com
mon sense, is there not enough at home to
absorb the attention of our patriot writers
How would it do to allow England, at least
! for few years-until the war is over, say
! TO retail her calumries, unaided, against
! the natives Of poor Erin?

Toys, Notions, Drums, Fruits, and other

Shippers to St. Louis will notice the card
Of j. E. B. Morgan. 10 5. Commercial street,
and if they consult their interest, consign-

towns will be made to him. In his employ

whose name is password to capacity and
faithfulness in the management of produce

men will ship to Morgan and thus secure
tue personal attention Of Kimball to their

Mr.. Abbot, recently one Of the firm OF

Sherwin, NOVEL; & Pratt, Of Milwaukee,

The Israelites ;r, often mcanly spoken
of by persons who take, as usual, the worst
specimens of race or nation to judge the
mass by. Thoughtless takers of this sort
may not know that the wealth Of Europe
and to a great extent its politics, is con-
trolled by Jews. They move there in the
highest social circles, and for some years
past many have been honored with posi-
tons; one at the present, we believe being
Lord Mayor Of London. They are also
among the leading merchants Of wealth in
most American cities, and it is rare thing
to hear of Jews failing in business: We
recollect no such instance on record.
Not only in the business and the political
world do the Jews figure; in the Musical
they stand at the head. The names Of
Strakosch, Lind, Mendelsohn, Thalberg
Patti, Grisi, and the other great past and
present stars of vocal and instrumental
music are mostly Of the Israelitic race.
They love money and work hard to get it
but in this respect they should not be re

If Jew can beat Yankee in money
hunting he can have our hat. This is no
written to compliment the Abrahamites, o.
to condemn the Jonathans. We despis,
clannishness either in nativities, or in so
cieties Of religious character. Let US d.

The Young Mems Lyceum will debate
on Tuesday, 18th, in the basement of the
Baptist Church, the following:
Resolved, That the South is justi6able
in rebelling."
We think the question is one that might
have been left over till the close of the war
and the events Of the few years past be-
came history, but our youngsters are pretty
we'll posted in politics and perhaps the
question may call out more research and
talent than the ordinary ones Of the day.
The debating of question does not imply
conviction on the part Of either affirmative
or negative. Goodwin Howe takes the
lead in the Affirmative and IIance Walter
in the Negative. The Public, on this occa-
sion, are respectfully invited. The merits
of the debate, and not Of the question, is
the issue.

CHANGEFUL JOE.

CHANGEFUL JOE.
A lively youth once did know,
The ladies called him "change.ul Joe )"
As frolicsome as any kitten,
By cupid's shalt he oft was smitten;
And yet he held the wound as light
As if mere mosquitoes bite.
One day for Ellen he was signing,
The next, for Kitty he was dying;
And when you thought him almost finished,
His flames were suddenly diminished.
And SO his love was daily turning,
Now like glass house furnace burning,
And now it seemed to each spectator
His breast was refrigerator,
What remedy can we discover
To cure the fault Of such lover?
No girl who acts by my advice
Will have such beaux at any price
However cheap they may appear,
In one respect you'll find them dear;
Like certain garments, basciy made,
BY tyros Of the stitching trade
But beaux worth having, must stick fast,
Like Abrm Kohns Clothing, made to last i!

THE REVENUE MEASURES.

A letter to New York, in speaking of the tax
bill Of tho House, which was reported yesterday by
the Finance Committee of the Senate, says:
"a number Of important amendments have been made,
especially the provisions of the bill as to the collection
othe taxes and looking toward increasing the amount
of revenue 1t understood that the exgences Of the
Government at the present time require an increase Of
sixty million dollars the amount which 1t s
estimated would be produced by the House bill, and to
secure this the committee will report an increase OF the
tax distilled spirits from 81 to 81 so, with probably an
additional ncreaseto 80 to take effect January l. 1866
The section of the House bill taxing stock hand is
stricken out The tax cgsrs and tobacco has been
vsed with average Of about ten cents per pound
over the amount imposed by the House,
