The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1868-06-20

RICANE CAvETo! THAT den of midnight
orgies the old United States Hotel, which
scalawags, carpetebaggers, and lazy, worth
less negroes make hideous with strange
noises and diabolical schemes, vas on
Thursday evening the scene Of different
rendezvous.
On the morning of that day, we learn that
two men, respectively named 0'Brien and
O'Hara, sent circulars around the town to
citizens of Irish birth, inviting them to at
tend o meeting of their "fellow-country-
men" at the place above indicated. The
call: Was responded to by about seventy or
mere persons.
Who O'Hara is, we do not know, save that
he is Loyal Lacquer, and has no claims to
the proud name of an Irishman. Of
.O'Brien we know as much as is desirable.
During the late war he went before the
British e-Consul, Cridland, and swore
that he was British subject, born in Ca
NADIA, and upon that oath obtained British
protection papers, securing to him immu-
nifty from military service. Since then,
and recently, we learn that he says he was
born near; Petersburg-a sufficient commen-
tary upon Radical i" manliness," yeracity,
and consistency. rs sL4sf 91H
But to the meeting. O'Hara took the
chair. The exercises opened with q speech.
Blarney, soda, and soft soap, were freely
used. The speakers were gushingly afec-
tionate. The Irish we're extolled-aboye
the moon. They would support the old
fagn; they would be true to the Union ;
then were for universal suffrage, the equal
ity of blacks and whites, and the proscrip-
ton of "rebels o.; they would not, as good
rCelts, object to amalgamation, to the stran-
gulation of the Constitution and habeGs cor
pus, or to the murder of Mrs. Surratt; and
they would help to elect Wells-help to
honor Hunnicutt-give the place OF some
zone to, Danner, and Of some one else to
Brockmeyer they would spend their dimes
with Morrissey and with Leahy and surely
then would honor the "Sun-burst of Erin .
at the ballot-box by keeping the Democratic
party of Jefferson, jackson, and Wise out
of office, and march beneath the banner OF
the futnre-of progress and enlighten-
ment-of Native Americanism and Know
Nottingham; that banner " with the strange
device 1.-THE nigger and miscegenation-
floating over them, just as the green flag
which Sarsfeld defended, hoated from the
ramparts of Limerick /. And they would
be rewarded with Office, every one OF them
apresentnay,s but every one would vote
the Radical ticket. E<nE 81. 20
The CONSERVATION of the Irish there, when
sthe programme was exposed, may be i'm.
aagined but not described. They are o
people easily moved to, anger or to friend
Ship. But here they felt themselves sold
betrayed; they did not bargain for this
hence they were chilled, surprised, stunned
Recovering themselves, however, they re-
membered the traitor Of '98-JemmJJ
OBrien. /" Shanaats ma cfocka," ," said almos
every heart. Murmurs Of discomfort ant
disapprobation broke forth on all sides, ane
the Celtic keen sense of outrage was OF
the verge of manfesting itself when Pat
sO,Brien rose and said that Gall not fayorably
inclined tothe supports the Radical policy
were requested to depart. Like q. bird Sc
free, every one Of those brawny rfshme!
arose, and, as if propelled by one spirit, LEI
the hall. Theywent forth to purify and eros
themselves beneath the dome of Gods Uni
|Eyersal Temple; and long will it be agal,
before an Irish mothers honest son Bnal
be found in such miscreant concIaYe.
