who have hithefto acted with the Dem
ocratic party, to break loose from that
justly condemned organization. and

following from the Irish People, the or
gan of that nationality in America, and
commend its pcfusal to our Irish friends

Once for all we wish to inform our
readers, and all whom it may concern,
that the Irish People has not changed its
opinions in the slightest degree with
respect to either of She Rafties which
are now contending for the direction of
national affairs in this great common
wealth. WE WE'RE NEVER DEMOCRATS

the contrary. our convictions have al
ways leant toward the Republican par
ty. though till now no important occa-
| sion presented itself wherein we could
advocate them as journalists with any
immediate prospect of advancing our
special Sbject-shc National lndepend-
ence of Ireland. a crisis is now come
upon this country which admits of our
giving free utterance to our real senti-
ment rs American citizens, and at the
same time serving the cause of our ma
tive land. 1856
