81 The Pittsburgh Gazette says: "The
receipts Of cattle were again large this week
being fully up to the usual average in point of
numbers, but the quality was inferior there
being but very few good cattle on the safe,
and those few were held above the views of
buyers. The market, however, was q very
hard one, the light improvement in New
York making no percepticle impression here
and shippers were unwilling to do anything
at an adYance-indeed, the majority of them
seemed disposed to hold off, unless they
could buy at decline. With the exception
of one drove, which brought seven cents,
the best sales ranged at from Ct to 6s-dis-
posed of an inferior drove of Texas cattle,
averaging $40, at 81.

We wish to call attention to COM
rhunication signed "Fenian." 1t is
written by an Irishhan Of more than or
dinary Intelligence, and tells some
trWtAs thst it would bcwell for all Irish
nEen TO heed, 1t is strange that Irish
men sAcald be so slow to learn who are
their 4eal and ti%e friends. The spirit
of nkcGern Democracy, whose chief cor
ner stone is human bondage, is an enc
my to labor, whether performed by the
negro or the Irishman. Our Irish fell
low citizens almost universally live by
their labor, and whatever tends to'ae-
grade labor, is direct blow at the irish
man. Our correspondent ccnaprehends
the situation. If the negroes had a
vote, they would be treated precisely as
the Irishmen now are, by that party.
They would be fine fellows VIXEN want
ed to vote, but no Office would be bes-
lowed upon them. '. "
We appreciate the patriotism Of the
irish IN the late war, and if they would
all, as our currespondentprOpcses to do,
cut loose from the party of despctism
and caste, a million Of brave native
Americans would compel our Govern
tneut to stand of while the Irish would
secure the freedom Of the "Green Isle of
the Ocean," The Irish are generally
beginning to comprehend the true situa-
ton. The present Congress, so vulgar
ly abused by the Democratic party, has
been the friend of the Irishman, while
President Johnson, now worshipped by
all Democrats, has been guilty Of the
duplicity which has thrown the Irish
cause back at least one year. Let all
Irishmen understand the matter as oul
correspondent does, and brighter fu'
ture is in store for their native land.
