member of the Know Nothing order, has
again broken forth. Some days since, we
copied from the Chicago Post, leading
Radical organ, bitter and savage attack
on the Irish as class and upon their re-
ligion. ~
That which we copy below is from the
same Chicago Post, OF the 9th instant. The
issue of that date contains two remarkable
editorial articles. One describes persona.
interview which the editor has had with
General GRANT. at Galena, showing him to
be bosom friend and on very intimate re-
lations with the Radical candidate for Pres
ident. The other article is an argument t.
prove that the political equality which the
Radicals claim for negroes does not involve
social equality. This doctrine the writer
illustrates by reference to Irishmen and
Catholics, which we give below. Their
appearance in GRANT newspaper, accom-
panied Ivy the sentiments of Mr.. CoLFAx
OIL the same subject, will attract great at
tention. We have seen nothing that SO
fully aud undisguisedly shows the true
spirit of the Jacobins towards Irishmen
and Catholics as the following:
lFrom the Chicago Post. Sept. o.
Teddy O'Flaherty votes. He has not
been in the country six months. But he
has been through Dan O'Hara's court. He
is naturalized. Torrance O'Manus swore
for him that he had been five years in the
United States; that he was jintlenaan OF
good moral character, and Dan O'Hara
knew he was Democrat. And so he was
He has hair on his teeth. He neuer kne,o an

his life until. he stood on the deck of an
emigrant ship. He is born savage-as

the North American. tribes. OF course
he can't read. He can't write. All
in the priest, and the priest is only little
less barbarian than he. BE Jasus, I'm a
Democrat 70 is his shibboleth. Breaking
heads for opinions sake Is his practice. The
born criminal and pauper OF the civilized
world. and withal the innocent victim OF
the statecraft of England, and OF the priest
craft of Rome-a wronged, abused, and
pitiful spectacle OF man capable of better
things, pushed straight to hell by that
abomination against common sense called
the Catholic religion, and that outrage
upon political decency falsely known as
American Democracy-what else does he
know? To compare him with an intelli-
gent freedman would be an insult to the
latter.
The country has survived the Irish emil
gration-the worst with which any other
country was ever afflicted. The Irish fill
our prisons, our poor houses, our reform
schools, our hospitals, our eleemosynary
and reformatory institutions of all sorts.
Scratch convict or a pauper, and the
chances are that you tickle the skin of an
Irish Catholic at the same time-an Irish
Catholic made criminal or pauper by
the Priest aud politician, who have de-
ceived him and kept him in ignorance; in a
word, a savage, as he was born. He has
not, thus far, deteriorated the American
blood. Why then fear that with those OBJ
stacles of race and color in the way, the
Niger will accomplish that in which the
Irish have failed 1z.f4 -.- .-
Bah! This appeal to the fear of the pop
ulace that we must have a care lest this
"like Mexico" be ruined by a
mixed race, is only the gable of rascals
who want to perpetuate injustice under
cover of a popular prejudice. Mexico was
not SO ruined either. The priests. bishops,
monks, nuns, operating upon the Catholic
laity, did the job for that unhappy Repub-
lie. Just as Catholicism, which is despot-
ism, goes out, Mexico rises. ...
The danger of miscegenation. white with
black, is, then, as remote as that Teddy
O'Flaherty will succeed in making his way
by marriage into the American families by
whom he is abborred. We have been ac-
quainted with Teddy long time. He has
dug numberless canals, made many rail-
roads, fought many a fight, voted the Dem
ocratic ticket been in many a Jail and pau
per house, and he has all the while been
priest ridden. The fat sleek, rosy -gilled
liars and scoundrels Consciously such)
who have been about him have kept him
in ignorance, robbed him of his pence, and
given him, after many sprinklings of holy
water, what they call passports to heaven !;
but he is Teddy O'Flaherty yet.

With many OF the principles of the
American (Know Nothing) order We have
always concurred. In common
with them, we have opposed the organiza-
tion OF political parties under the name OF
a foreign nation, such as an Irish party,
German party, Swiss party, &C., be-
lieving that immigrants hither should
strive in all things to Americanize them
selves, instead of banding together as
distinct nationality. With them we have
protested against the uniustitiable conduct
OF foreign authorities in enjoying upon
our hospitable shores, by shipload. the in
mates of their prisons and poor houses, and
thus indicting upon our nation the crimi-
nails and pauDers which they themselves
should provide for.
