RISHMEW.

Every mean thing that it has been
possible Tor q mean man to say has beer
said of the Irish.
Coutounded rascals, stupid fools, ,vilest
of the vile and lowest,of the low, dreg:
and offscouring Of humanity, cowardly
and treachcrous, is the style in which
Radical organs have treated of the Irish
in this city.
The general opinion of their inteli-
gence and virtue is far below what il
would have beon but for the demagogue-
ism of party leaders. The Irish have
as rule voted the Democratic ticket
and that has been sufficient to condemn
them to everlasting iniamy by the
Shoddy knights.
We have no desire to malign the me-
chanics and laborers of New England
but we do not assert without fear or IA
vor, and will forever assert and maintain
that the Irish Of this city are IS intelis
gent and virtuous as the native born la
borers of Massachusetts,, or any other
New England State. No people in this
country vote more scrupulously in ac-
cordance with their convictions Of Right
than our hish fellow citizens. No peo-
pie are more devoted to the welfare of
tho nation, No people have keener
appreciation of the blessings of our in.
stitutions.
SO great a proportion of their NUN.
bcrs cannot read and we are aware Of.
But the Iiish are social, and in every
establishment in this region one Irish
man reads to others. One will read
whilo others are dining-taking turns--
aud after the reading follows thorough
discussion. 10 say that the Irishmen
as class are ignorant, is lie.
To say they are low, besstly, dishon>
est, rottenhearted is an other lie.
10 Say that they are disgrace, dan.
ger and weakness to our government
tai fabric is an uutruth, malicious and
Infamous.
To say they arc Intimately inferior to
the laboring classes of New England, is
not and never was true.
The danger to this country is not in
The votes or voices of Irishmen, but in
the selfrighteousness, narrow-minded.
nesss, and bigotry of Radical politi
clans!
The poor Irish have been the butt of
ridicule for yeaFs-poor reward for their
industry, their disposition to labor -
their devotion to labor as illustrated by
the canals, railroads aud public works
they have erected for US. 1t is for
radicals to abuse them and accuse
them Of vices they do not possess.
New England is especially abusive of

VOL UME EIG U7-NUMBER "a.
NEGRO VERSUS WHITE MAN

| NL Wv " IGLt ~ y ~ W III IL Lh<14'
The Radical policy of banding togeth
er the negroes of the South against the
whites of that region, has had its natu.
raj effect. 1t has also uuited all the
whites-Radicals, carpet. .baegers and
all against the rule of the negro. Ne.
gro votes might pass to carry an cleo.
ton but negro Legislators making laws
for white men, brought the blush of
shame even to the cheeks of many
Northern arpet.baggers. They had
not been used to that at home. They
have, therefore, joined in the decision Of
the House of Representatives in Geor-
gia, that while the Constitution of that
State allows negroes to vote, it dees not
make them eligible to office. A pro-
vision, to that effect, was,it seems, struck
out OF the Constitution, even by the
Demonstrating" Convention that made
it.
All Northern Radical papers are in a
terrible stew over this matter. Some
fad in it pretext FOR an extra session
of Congress to amend the Constitution
of Georgia, so as to give Office to the
negroes. 1t is odd, to hear this chorus
of lamentations among the Radical
newspapers of Pennsylvania, because
negro in Georgia, like negro here, is
excluded from Office. No doubt, one
purpose Of the expected session will be
to pass the bill Thaddeus Stevens post
poned last session, which gives votes to
negroes in the Northern States. This
is indeed, the last desperate resource of
tho Radicals, to carry Pennsylvania. 1t
is plain they are now trying to bring the
public mind up to it. Negroes in all
the State Legislatures, negroes in Con-
gress is necessary sequence to the
Radical policy. One of the very ne~
groes elected from the Georgia Legis-
lature, named Alpeora Bradley, spe-
cially elected, however, for conviction
Of felony, is now candidate for Con-
gress! Everywhere, the Radical clique
are striving to give to the negro the
casting vote between the political parties
of onr country. They are almost frantic
row with the thought that fifteen or
twenty thousand negro votes in Penn-
sylvania, might give them majority.
The bill Of Thaddeus Stevens will, we
believe, be one Of the first called up, if
there is an extra cession Of Congress.
at this moment the note of preparation
is sounding in the Southern cities. The
Radical clique have issued their man
date, "let there be negro riots" These
are to furnish political capital, like the
negro riot, called "negro massacre" at
New Orleans, in 1865, which was delib-
erately planned by the Radicals to
counteract the influence ST the Conser-
vntive Convention held at Philadolphia,
in that year.

The NoHTH CAROLINA POLICE
BILL.-The Jacobn Legislature of
North Carolina, few days since, hasti>
ly adopted what was termed q "Police
Bill" but which is nothing more nor
less than law giving authority to Gov.
Holden to organize an armed force,
scattered throughout the entire State-a
standing army on q small scale, and res.
ponsible for their acts to one head only
this Radical Governor Holden. This
infamous bill gives to the Governor un-
limited power in regard to calling out
the militia, or, as they are falsely called,
the "poice." Not even the sheriffs are
to be consulted, an amendment embody.
ing that proviso having been voted
down by large majority as was an
other amendment, torbidding any Or
ganized armed body to approach within
quarter of mile of the polls during
an election, except in case of riot. The
Governor has absolute CONTROL Of this
engine of tyranny. He has the sole
power of appointing oficers-in fact,
his authority in regard to this military
organization is without limit or restric-
ton.

will Jscobin newspapers, which
are anxiously iuquiring where the
greenbacks will come from to redeem
the FIVE twenty bonds, tell us where the
gold will come from to redeem these
bonds Is gold more plentiful than
greenbacks =? Is there more Of 1t in
the country7 Is it worth less? Can il
be more easily attained ? Will days
work get a dollar in gold moro easily

get the gold to pay the debt,in taxation,
will you not Jacobins ? Democrats will
get greenbacks by the same process.
Do you understand ? Is it easy !?
Do you see it ? If you do, let us have
no more repetition of your nonseusical
question of "Where will the greenbacks
come from Z"
To get money--"lawful money"-aud
to save money, are two processes. The
Jacobins are adopts iu getting money
from the taxpayers, but they don't know
how to save it. They are extortionists
and spendthrifts. Under their manage.
ment the treasury is a vast river, into
which volume of currency is constant
ly pouring aud disappearing. To keep
up this current the hard, working
men of the country are taxed.

How BRIGHTLY BREAKS THE MoRY.
The morning of our political cam
paign in which is to be fought the great
battle for the perpituity Of Constitu-
tional liberty, breaks most auspicously
upon the country, Since the nominal
ton of Seymour and Blair, elections
have beon held in three Statas. Oregon,
Kentucky and Montana, in each OF
which there has been large gains since
the last elections. Kentucky gives a
Waterloo defeat to the Radical revolu-
tionary party, and the Democratic ma
jOrity cannot be much under one hun
dred thousand.-Grant extended his
travels out toward Montana but his
presence gave neither hope nor strength
to his party. The Democratic majority
there is largely increased also. These
victories have struck terror into the
Radicals and they are now trembling as
did Belshazzer of old, when he read the
fearful handwriting upon his palace
wall. Their fate is just as certain as
his, for like him they are now being
weighed in the balance and are found
wanting. AS further Victories come
rolling in upon US they will be seized
with dismay, and their ranks will break
and scatter.
