For Irishm en-Somethlng for Them to
Read and Think About.
The Radicals of Chicago, after laboring
for long time to secure the &C operation
of Irisbmen, and failing, have turued to
abusing them, as will be seen by the follow
ing article which VIC copy from the editor
ial columns Of the Chicago Post, of the 9th.
The Post is the leading Radical organ of
the city. No Irishmen, having the least
pride or patriotism, after reading the ar
ticle, can think of voting with party that
so meanly abuses and fasiies the Irish ma
ton, and the Catholic religion:

the question formerly asked of the electors
of Illinois by every Democratic candidate
on the stump.

of niger equality in the family say all the
Democratic orators Of the day.

Political equality is one thing, social
equality is another thing. Political equal

woman. The law says, Coue up. Mad,

course he can't read. He can't write. All
books to him are sealed. He only believes
in the priest !; and the priest is only little

latter.
Do American women run after Teddy O.
Flaherty Are they in haste to marry
him? Oh, father of beautiful daughrer,
! are you afraid that she will break away
from your love and kindness and make
Teddy companion.
Yet, how much less danger other marry

been at all favored by the chances that
slavery afforded, is the superior of Teddy
in the things which women value but his
Paddy are equai-the first having the most

Now, marriage is not a thing of the law,

danger of destruction by the admixture of
the o Faherty blood we shall be ready
to believe that it is in danger of deteriora-

Putting color aside, what is there to choose
between Teddy and Cufee ?
The country has survived the Irish emi>
grafton, the worst with which any other
was ever afflicted The Irish fill our pris>
ons, our poor houses, our reform schools,
on. hospitals, our eleomosynary and refor-
matory institutions of all sorts.
Scratch a 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 and politician who have deceived
him and Kept HIM In ignorance, In word,
savage, as he was born He has not,
thus far, deteriorated the American blood.
Why then fear that with chose obstacles of
race and color in the way, the niger will
accomplish that in which the Irish have
failed
BAH This appeal to the fear of the
populace that we must have care lest
this country, like Mexico be ruined by
mixed race, is only the gable of rascals
who want to perpetrate injustice under
cover of popular prejudice. Mexico was
not so ruined, either. The priests, bish-
ops, monks, nuns, operating upon the
Catholic laity did the job tor that unhappy
republic. just as Catholicism, which is
despotism, goes out, Mexico rises.
The danger of miscegehation, 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 i. abhorred. We have been ac-
quainted with Teddy long time He has
dug numberless canals made many rail
roads, fought many fight, voted the Dim
mecratic ticket, been in many Jail and
pauper house, and he was all the while
