Illustrations Of the bad effects Of living
among Yankees most depraved aud
taithless people on earth. This Hoffman has
graduated among the Yankees rs Master q!
Arts in their School OF Deprayity, and parted

The epeeches throughout talked FIRST Of pre-
dominance for the Yankees in this country
and then Independence to Ireland. A COM
bination Of feeling and purpose so incom-
paiibie, so monstrous, as to be produced
nowhere save among the Yankees and poor
deluted foreigners, fallen under their arti-
tices.
We conclude this article with most re-
markable speech, made by one Col. Halpin,
Of Kentucky, who responded to the toast to
that State. What ne said is worthy of at
tention. His pledge for the Army of the
Cumberland is, of course, q fraud. That
army, save the Irishmen in it, have no in
iention Of fighting for Ireland. Neither the
negroes, nor the Germans, nor the Yankees,
| (the last and worst,) have the remotes. idea
| Of such thing. But the trick has its effect.
