a RADICAL STRAW.
In the proceedings Of the late Radical Con.
veation in Oreeon, - 6nd the following:
stitsel, Of Multhomah pzesented the cause Of the
bss 10 "a every eSGfton y extend its circulation.
Even This small straw i an indication Of the
course Of the Radical political wind in Ore
gon, a. elewhere, for the campaign Of this year.
Portland, and one or two other points in Ore
gon. have among the voting population good
number Of naturalized citizens, Of Irish birth.
It is to wheedle these citizens optof their votes,
this new found zeal 10 Irish lso-calledl papers
il now hypocriticaly manifested. And in this
instance, the character Of the paper recon-
mended reveals the shallow subterfuge. The
Irish Republic is simply Radical organ sail
ing under false Irish colors to lure Irish adopt
cd citizens into the meshes of the Radical net.
It is edited BY renegade freshman, . bigoted.
whilom Presbyterian clergy
man, who would willingly see his countrymen
in America placed below the negro in the 90
cial and political scale-for the Radical lead
ers notoriously proclaim that the negro is the
superior Of the freshman, and they lose no OPP
in Congress to make the Irish sensi-
bly, feel this. Mark how, at this very session,
while the Radical majority in both Houses
have found plenty Of time to pass the bill to
continue the Freedmen's Bureau another year,
the bill to vote money to the relief of negroes
IN Southern Conventions, the resolution to vim
iicate the cause OF mulatto courtesan who
was, very properly, elected from the ladies'
ear on Washington City railroad, and sew
eral other bills and resolutions all for the ben
Eft and concern of the negroes,--mark how,
Congress has had ample time
10 do all this for the ebony idol. neither House
has found time to legislate in behalf Of the
many American citizens of Irish birth or blood
who linger in British prisons, for no offence
ON British soil. Nor has Congress
yet been able to perfect bill, so simple in its
rs it needs to be, 10 assure protec-
lion to its adopted citizens when they 60 abroad
TO visit. among other places, the place of their
nativity. Oh, no, nothing can be done in Con-
gress by the Radical majority. for the Irish,
but anything and everything can
and must be done. and promptly. for the ignor-
ant blacks. But when election time comes
around, then we have the appeals and prom
ses, the protestations and assurances, from
Radical speakers and Radical organs, and mo-
ions are made in Radical Conventions in be-
half of things and measures calculated b
tickle the irish voters, and the Radicals almost
orget Sambo in their new love for Patrick.
md resolutions adnlatiye of four Irish adopt
ID citizens" are passed,-all a. % much wind
md froth. to be, not forgotten. in their new
ease OF power, but worse.-for they win then
lgain apply oil their legislative pressure 10 de-
grade and disfranchise the Irish citizen, and
10 elevate above him the negro, and. rs the
Massachusetts, Radicals did before the wtf,
when they disbanded companies Of State mill
ia, who were Irish born, and gave the arms
aiken from them TO companies Of negroes, 90
win they 10 their days Of fresh power in the
and, bestow upon the blacks the franchises
Ind privileges and rights which they viii have
aiken away from the Irish adopted citizens.
And when this shall be done, and the Irish
hall be rendered powerless in election cam.
,aigns, aud shall have no vote to east, then
hese present IEish-loving and Irish.vote-c court
ng Radicals viii insultingly and jeeringly tell
hem that they have but themselves 10 blame
or their helpless, powerless, pitiful condition
hat, had they not permitted themselves 10 be
lumbugged and cajoled and deluded into sup
porting party which had always shown itself
% be the bitterest enemy Of the Irish adopted
sitizens. they would not have to mourn their
departed rights and liberties.
