Il is not little singular that our Irish
population, with but few honorable excep-
tions voted the so called Democratic ticket,
in opposition to manhood suffrage
That men who have fled from the oppres-
sions of their native land should, on coming
to land Of freedom, turn round and give
their sanction to like expressions in the
land If their adoption IL one of those
strange Inconsistencies to which poor hu-
man nature is prone They are doubtless
led 10 this course of action under the i'm
preston hat Democracy means freedom
So il to"s whom true, but II Is the fate of all
good to have It's counterpart of evil. So
with Democracy. It's pure principles as
laid down in III. platform of the Republican
party, 81 counierieited, or rather the name
Is assumrd ~ party calling themselves
Democratic, whilst they ignore every former
principle of true Democracy.
Let our Irish fellow citizens, who are
mostly laboring men, understand that the
party they have been supporting by their
votes is arrayed against the labor of the
country, by its open advocacy of free trade,
by its sympathy with the late insurgents, or
rebels, who openly revolted against the best
government ever instituted among men, to
establish government whose chief corner
stone should be human slavery whose
open declarations, were, that capital should
own labor-that the poor man, whether
white or black, should be slave.
Let lhcm, | say, fully understand these his
torical facts, and then il they continue TO
vote the so called democratic ticket they
will show To The world that they are in point
of intellect far inferior to the negro whom
they are taught to despise as unworthy the
right of suffrage.
Ii is a striking fact in the history of the
despised negro that he fully comprchends
the true principles of democracy, and votes
whenever he can do so with the Republican
party. In this he is much more consistent
than the man who oppressed in his own
land vote for oppression here. The negro
long the subject Of the worst oppression the
world ever witnessed, practiced upon him
too by men calling themselves Christians,
the moment he has the opportunity gives all
his energies in support of freedom. He
showed a magnanimity but seldom wit
.essed in the worlds history, in taking up
nrms to defend Il country which had never
offered him anything but bondage and stripes
when he had his proud oppressor and his
family completely in his power offered them
no violence but continued TO labor for his
own oppression. l call upon the man who
says the negro is too degraded to vote to
point me If he can to a more glorious record
than that of the Southern negro during the
late rebellion. Has he not since the estab-
lishment of his freedom behaved in man
ner to call forth the acclamations Of all good
men, and lovers of liberty! Witness the

A DIRTY TOOL FL ING ASIDE.

A DIRTY TOOL FL ING ASIDE.
A man named Thomas Swami, elected
Governor by the Union men of the State of
Maryland, had 1t in his power to sell into
the hands of the enemies of his party the
control of the State. He did it. By de-
liberate disregard of the laws which he had
sworn to execute; by the most disgracefnl
treason to every obligation to those who had
elevated him; anxious only to climb into
new power, and attain higher station he
bound the Union men of Maryland, hand
and foot, and sold them to their enemies.
Not only did he do this in effect, but he car,
ried out, with patient, careful treachery,
every detail of his work.
We doubt II, in all the history OF politics,
there is a case to be compared with this.
Other men have bees tricky, or untaithful
or Inscriptions, but this man from first tc
last exhausted ingenuity in his treason.
For the benefit Of all time to come, lie
the history of the last few days tell how thi.
man has been rewarded. He gave Mary
land to the Democrats. He gave it to the
Philip Thomases, whose sons were In the
Rebel army; to the Gilmors, whose brothers
were with the guerrillas. He gave it to the
| Bowies and Carmichaels, and Archers and
Pratts, and Scots, whose every sympathy,
during five years of war, was completely
and entirely with the armed Toes of the Re.
public. They hold Maryland to-day in AT
iron grasp, which thirty thousand disfran
chised citizens alone can loosen, by the
action of Thomas Swami. Whatever offices
they have, whatever money they fitch, what
ever honors they wear, whatever powe
they WELD, came 10 them by means o
treacherous Tom Swami.
His work done, he begged for his reward
To the men whom his treason had placed il
power he humbly came. They had an otlic
in their gift which must bo bestowed some

He begged it, He filled them with meat AM

The RECENT resolute and earnest steps of
Congress, such as the Reconstruction Bill,
the Supreme Court Bill, and the re-instate-
ment of Mr.. Stanton, have inspired new
hope, and new resolution in the ranks of
Repuhicans. Taken in connection with
the position assumed by General Meade,
and General Grants prompt witadrawsl
from the War Department, they carried a
degree Of enthusiasm with them which the
country, of late, has not often had chance
to experience.
OF course such evil and unreliable coun-
sellers as the New York Times will advise
Congress that such action is crash and
"violent, &C., &c. On the contrary, it is
the truth that only aggressive and deter
mined measures can re-animate, AID lead to
new victory, the hosts Of the Republican

THE IRLB UNES TELEGR4MS.
The New York Tribune is a Jealous adj
vocate of Judge Chase. In advancing his
prospects, it has but one string TO play on,
j. e. to shake the faith of the Republican
party in Grant. OF late this has been a
most discouraging and unsuccessful process,
and as each successive action of the General
came to the public view, his Republican
principles, and his entire devotion to the 10y
al cause, have become more and more evil
dent, until now the Democratic papers are
exhausting their skill in abusing him. But
the Tribune, while it does justice, Of late,
in its editorial columns, TO General Grant
| and his position, has, in Its Washington
corps of telegraph correspondents, an indi-
vidual who fills similar position for the
Philadelphia Ledger and Baltimore San.
This person is as completely in the service
of Andrew johnson as though the latter
hired him for his own purposes, which pre-
haps he may, aud throughout the whole af-
fair since Stanton's Reinstatement, the spe-
cial kilograms to the Srn and Ledger have
| basely misrepresented General Grant. Ii
was this man who said Grant had 'promis-
| ed the President to give him chance to
resist Stanton's re-possession, if he Grant
concluded to withdraw, and it is the same
fellow who has within day or two circu-
lated further falsehood, inspired by John
son, that Grant and Sherman were urging
Stanton to resign.
Strange to say, these false statements, with
others, are published in the Tribune, as the
communications of its own correspondent.
People rely upon them as such. Yesterday,
that paper contained long communication
from some individual in Philadelphia, who
declares he rcpudiates Grant because Of
them. We submit to the Tribune that il
proposes to publish War'len's kilograms
it should designate them as from Democratic
authority, and that il has no right to en-
ploy such tactics to advance the prospects
OF Judge Chase. II occupies, deservedly, a
grand position as a Republican newspaper.
but il cannot afford, in the advocacy of one
Presidential aspirant to do such injustice
to another, as il is now doing in reference ia
General Grant.
