will again refer to the emigrant WHO lands
upon our shores with an eternal hatred To
tyranny and oppression in every shape and
form. He is told by the self-constituted
political hacks of his race that he must sti-
file his love OF liberty and shake hands with
the friends of slaveOcracy: that here great
party rules the nation.-a party that loves
the smiling faces of the sons and daughters
of Erin; and that, in order to be freeman.
Inc must ally himself with this party. And
in his simplicity, he believes it, and
bis application for citizenship is recorded.
He settles down among his friends: attends
the political gatherings OF the party to
which he has attached himself He enters
IA spacious hall and hears bIoated office
seeker haranguing the faithful. The poll
cy of the Black Republicans. and all the
isms of the day. are denounced as mon
strOus. The Irish are lauded for their fl
deity to the party. The emigrant is pleas
ed and Swears to he true TO the party. He
goes home TO his wife and little ones. and
tells them what good man that was; what
he would do for the Irish. &c All this
the poor dupcs swallow. The day of nom
nation comes. Three or four of the pill
lars meet in back room and make up the
ticket for the coming election. One tinid
individual suggests prominent place on
the ticket for the Irish. He is met with a
scornful look from pillar No. |. No. =
says, TO hell with the Irish. they will
vote the ticket any way. We will give the
office To German: this TO Il Know-Noth-
ing; this 10 wavcring Republican: this To
another German: This 10 another Know
Nothing" and so on until they get To the
tail end. when some hungry lri>hman is
presented with an office that costs him "A
fortune to acquire. The honest Irish voter
cannot see why the Irish are not better rep
resented on the ticket but he is told that it
is impcrt:nent in him to make such inqui-
rics. Thus the farce is played year after
year. Thus the Irish people are insultcd
by their best friends. But. sir, there is
an end Ia all this notwithstanding the et-
forts of The Chicago Times and its CORES
pOndents Indeed, sir, The Times goes so
far as to say that those who will not vote
the ticket are traitors 10 their country. their
race. their religion and themselves. l deny
that The Times is an impartial Judge upon
the three first counts of these charges; for
il is well known that the Irresponsible ed
itor of that sheet has spent the greater
part of his life dcno,mcin" his country. his
race. and the religious opinions of other
men. As for the last count i'm the indict-
mcnt. will admit he is true 10 himself for
it is currently reported that he looks out
for No l..
Now. sir. in order that the public may
know who the real enemies of the Fenian
brotherhood and the Irish people are,
VIII here state that such a. The Chicago
Times. and the parties who indOrSe their
teachings. are. and have been. the bitterest
enemies of the Fcnian Brotherhood. from
the fac, that they encourage emigration To
this country for the purpose of >wellin"
the Democratic vote. such il the doctrine
as expressed by several of the high priests
OF tie party i'm Chicago. when waited upon

of securing their services as speakers at
our public meetings. indeed. they would
do anything in their power for the Irish
people, but they preferred 90 brin. them 10
this country. where they needed them To
vote the Democratic ticket Such men are
no friends of the irish people.
