history of his country, has inherited Sdeath-
ly detestation of every government that
would shackle or subsidize religion, extir.

prietors Of the soil, paral,zs or cripple the

But. true 20 the tendencys Of every disposi-
ton that is generous and affluent, this love
of freedom And" indepsnde nee in the Irish
heart has its erroneous excesse 8. Hence
we find to-day this generous and chival.
rous disposition, swayed As it is by thely
ing legend on the banner Of the South, and
fooled as it's by the devilish sophlstry and
falsehoods of the press and preachers in
the service of French imperialism and Brit

Die heart more in sympathy with the re
Fbellion which aims to dismember. than with
that loyalty which shrobss and bleeds to

perpetuats the democratic Republic Of the
United States, Into this grievous fault,
too, might have fallen had noe paused
and given to tbs claims OF the South-her
claims for separate governmeat and the
partition Of the national'terri.ory--an i'm
partial and conscientious consideration, the
result Of which consideration was to con.
vince me that the Claims OF the South were
founded neither in history nor justice; nor
were they constitutionaliy reserved to It,
nor were they commended by patriotism
nor dictated by lnvc Of liberty, nor BY

How THE MACHINE WoRKs-One day
last weel.the first Rotary Inclined Plane
Grading Machine for the A. & P. 2. r.
Z. arrived, and was quietly taken by
Capt. Butcher and put to work on the road
six miles from town, near Parnelis farm.
This Machine is very superior one.
1t employs ten yoke of oxen to propel it,
besides ten two horse wagons to receive
and carry off the earth which it plovs up,
elevates, and in moments time deposites
in the wagons. Several more machines
of the kind are soon to be employed on
the road. Capt. Butcher informs US that
he is daily employing more hands, the ap-
plications for work being much more nu-
merous than was expected. Workmen are
already employed at several different points
ON the road, and as fast as new gangs of
hands can be collected, they are set to
work.-Atchison Free Press, E
